Rob pointed out the red concept for the vehicle from Battle Ram blog, so you could use the alternate head and paint it red for a nice "prototype" custom.

I do think you're right on that. It's an odd looking "head" for the vehicle for sure. An extra neckpiece for Mekaneck would have been nice, like the MOTUC version had, too. And I do wish the Ground Ripper could pull back and drive forward, but, to be honest, I'm not going to be playing with it like that very much anyway.

I was never a big fan of Mekaneack but his neck feature was fun to play with. And if they gonna do it with an addon piece at least include a couple of them so make his neck a decent height. Like the Mega Construx mini-figure has two and some folk have bought multiple Battle Rams (the set he comes in) and added all the extra neck pieces to one Mekaneck to really enhance his one unique feature. :P <br /><br />As for the alternate 'head' for the Ripper, it does resemble one from early concept art where the Ripper was red and the front was pretty narrow. Check the Battle Ram blog article on the Road Ripper. :)Rob Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298884162797736930noreply@blogger.com
