In Crash: Mind Over Mutant, the PS2 version has a different Hero Ratcicle, but he is just a light blue Ratcicle, but the other versions of the game do have the Hero Ratcicle with his armor. But for some reason in the PS2 vr., they kept the Armored Hero Ratcicle--only until he is freed by Crash.
Why does this happen?[]
When the player thinks that they are going to get a cool armored Punk Ratcicle, they just get a different colored Ratcicle. Either they didn't have time to change the Frozen Hero Ratcicle to the PS2 Ratcicle, or the Hero Ratcicle is incomplete and they intended to make him look like the Punk Hero Rat.
