Remember when the new Prime Cyberverse figures came out? All of them were great except for Ratchet, who was missing one important little detail...

His face.



Which he gave to Optimus.

While it is a Cyberverse figure (which aren't too detail-oriented), it seemed odd for every other member of Team Prime to have a face while Ratchet's remained too smooth--even for the Prime aesthetic.

As I was searching Walmart for some more Vehicons, I stumbled across something magical hidden beneath droves of Bumblebees: A Cyberverse Ratchet...with a face.


I can see clearly now! Bulkhead is dense!

Not only does he actually have eyes, but his mouth and face-panel-lines (?) are sculpted in as well.

Closer look:






Yeah.

Comparisons to the original release (from, what, January?):


Orange or red? Answer: Redrange.



CyberPrimeVerseRatchetHD (right) also feels like an upgrade; the figure itself is all-around sturdier with tighter joints and better quality control than its predecessor (left).
I'd say it warrants a new exchange purchase. Plus you get a free sword for Prime accuracy!


"By the Allspark, where's Arcee when you need her?"

Yeah, that's definitely orangeish red.

Interresting..

What are you talking about my Ratchet totally has a fa-
*pulls it out to double-check*
Holy crap how did I not notice this lack of face before? Great, now I have to get another.

That's such a weird running change. o_o; I can't help but wonder when that happened.

My Ratchet looks like he has half a face. I think this might be a case of the silver paint being to thick, or the lines on the face not being deep enough.

Even Bot Shot Ratchet got shafted, at least im the paint department :/ There's barely any red on his truck mode and his eyes are white on a silver face O.o Yeesh. Gotta take my paint brush to this guy sometime soon.
