Wow, it's really not going to be that hard to give him proper cross stickers on the shoulders, is it? The only way to make that easier is to include a pamphlet on how to use a pair of scissors Posted by Desslok2201 on April 21st, 2016 @ 2:59pm CDT

It's the G1 in all of us, cause that's where the repaints started (well Diaclone..but more G1). I also find it funny that I get annoyed with repaints/retools in other lines sometimes but don't question it on MP. I think the Bayverse stuff may have angered me, with first release then premiums, then 80 Bumblebees. It's the G1 in all of us, cause that's where the repaints started (well Diaclone..but more G1).

When I first saw pics of him I was all "Oh yeah, this is MUCH better than Ironhide!"



Then I got Ironhide in hand, and looking at those pics I just see a sea of white.



Got a long way to go to beat Ironhide Ratchet! I might just have to bite the bullet and have you shipped on your own. Posted by Burn on April 21st, 2016 @ 4:30pm CDT

Just looks odd.



The super cartoony blue windows on Ratchet just add to me simply not caring about these 2. I mean, Ironhide is here now, but had I never ordered him I wouldn't be missing anything I got Ironhide today after much much thinking and near ordering and backing off-and I was right, the mold irritates meJust looks odd.The super cartoony blue windows on Ratchet just add to me simply not caring about these 2.

I'm extremely excited for this. I just got my soon in stock pre-order notice from BBTS. I also bought Ironhide on release. I understand its the basically the same mold but its just too major of a character to not want it for completion of a G1 Masterpiece collection. I think the white makes a pretty big visual difference on the mold and the character doesn't look like "White Ironhide".



The mp line has been sooo good this year I gladly will pay to keep Takara churning new MPs out. I mean we've had like 4 sweet releases in just the first 4 months of 2016.



They've been making insane progress on the MP characters but i cant wait till Jazz, Galvatron and maybe a Beast Wars Scorponok or Tarantulas get a shot at getting a MP-##. Posted by Ironzeus on April 21st, 2016 @ 5:48pm CDT

I'm going to pass this one. I'm glad I skipped Ironhide and bought Shockwave instead. Of course, Masterpiece Shockwave is way overpriced, but at least he looks perfect. Posted by huryochagi on April 22nd, 2016 @ 1:13pm CDT

So what would be the the right MP Laserwave price be then? So what would be the the right MP Laserwave price be then? Posted by fenrir72 on April 23rd, 2016 @ 5:19am CDT

My Ratchet has just arrived, I'm opening it now.



First impressions of the alt mode and it's a good even white all over, maybe some panels aren't quite aligned properly but that is sorted easily. A couple of minor defects in the plastic surface, typical sort of stuff. Collector coin is nice but not thrilling.



No jet pack with Ratchet, shame as it looks really nice on Ironhide but I suppose we get a set of tools to make up for it.



During first transformation I got quite a bit of white paint flakes chip off, easily seen on my black trousers.



No issues, no floppy joints.



He looks good. Posted by Ravage XK on April 23rd, 2016 @ 7:33am CDT

For some reason the figure looks a lot better than Ironhide to me. Only thing, those windows as pointed out in the vid let you see too clearly into the "guts".



I don't think it even needs the red +'s on the shoulders, it looks fine as is.



I'd still like to see it done in Marvel colors. For some reason the figure looks a lot better than Ironhide to me.

Oh MAN! I had no problems with Iron Hide, but damn Ratchet takes the mold.
