Same, though I still need to pick up Jazz. I can look at the head and think of it as something else. What would have helped is there's supposed to be a part under the bumper/push bar that could have at least partially obscured it. Maybe an add on kit can include one.



They could have also cut the head horizontally across at the jaw and stuck a hinge on back to have the head flip back and be flatter. We've seen that before, there's no reason why it couldn't have been done here.

Yeah, they could have done something... Ratchet and Ironhide have both been phoned in, it feels like.

'07, not 97. But yeah, it's not the greatest.

Please take my money now, awesome figure.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, has let us know that some new images of MPM-11 Ratchet have appeared on Takara Tomy's twitter feed. These put Ratchet with the rest of his Autobot comrades from the first live action Transformers movie, released back in 2007.







MPM-11 Ratchet is available to pre-order now, with expected delivery end of the year. While the Autobot cast will be complete with Ratchet's release, the Decepticon cast will have to wait a bit longer as so far only Megatron, Barricade and the forthcoming MPM-10 Starscream are representing the cons, with Bonrcrusher and Brawl still needed.

What do you think of these pictures? Will you be glad to get your Autobots assembled? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews

I'm up with getting Ratchet, but I need to get Jazz and Ironhide first...and for cheap.

Now all we need is to build a sweet diorama to recreate this scene

MPM Ratchet's looking great in these pictures! I do wish they would've folded those lightbar pieces back in robot mode, though.

It's hard to get a good sense of exactly how tall Ratchet is compared to Ironhide, I think that Ratchet is shorter at head height but the roof rack pieces in robot mode make him a little taller.

You're forgetting about Blackout. (And, if you count them, Frenzy and Scorponok.)

damn you can really see how they degraded in quality, Optimus Bee Jazz and Barricade were great but Ironhide is a mess and ratchet just looks awful

Yes, Ratchet and Ironhide really suffered in vehicle mode.

I am so stoked to complete my original Autobot cast! That is a great setup with them.

and I agree, I want a diorama of the Witwicky home lol

Thanks to Seibertronian Tuned Agent, we have a great new review to bring to you! Regular YouTube reviewer TonTon brings us an excellent look at the upcoming Movie Masterpiece MP-11 Ratchet! We get some very good look at the details on Ratchet in both robot and especially his Hummer altmode. There are some good size comparisons with his Studio Series figure, as well as a great shot of Ratchet with the other '07 movie Autobots.















And without further ado, the review!


Ratchet is due out October 1st in the U.S., where he's a Target store exclusive, and is still available for preorder on Target's website. Are you looking forward to this figure? Let us know what you think below!

Seriously? Why do they keep making these ugly toys from those God-awful movies? I don't understand it...

Because some of us love these ugly toys from those god-awful movies. Simple as that.

Anyway, I still think ratchet looks really good. There's some paint missing in robot mode, but that's pretty consistent with MPMs. I'm very glad they're including all his accessories, though! That's a trend that the MPMs need to keep going.

I'm looking forward to mine, he should be arriving in a couple weeks

The last of the original live-action movie Autobot cast is finally out in Masterpiece form! Yours truly spotted the Autobot medic Ratchet at a Target in Centerville, Utah this morning.

While browsing the Transformers aisle at my local Target, I noticed a Target associate putting away toys from a cart. I glanced at the cart and noticed the familiar red script on the box and on getting a closer look, I found this:



I didn't see a shelf tag for him, so I asked the associate, and on scanning the box, he told me it was street-dated for October 1st, so I was unable to purchase him. Still, he's starting to show up to stores, and can be purchased next week!

Do you plan on adding this figure to your collection? Let us know below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news!

Holy crap.

Well, I have a pre-order in, but on my credit card, maybe I should cancel and try to find it in stores with my Target card to get some discounts

When are we going to Transformers Netflix Wave 2 at retail? I wish we knew.

Later in the fall.

I'm glad Ratchet is hitting on his target date from the pre-orders. well done keeping the schedule Target!

Really Target?...you clearance Starscream that is showing up everywhere, only to replace it with another MPM? Yet many fans who just want an ER Scorponok can't find one?

Or people using the Target app/website to source a Skylynx only for the stores that are supposed to have them not even have a price sticker. I found mine at a Target that wasn't on the list of local stores that carried him.

Funny enough, the same Target I found this Ratchet at had a Sky Lynx on the shelf when I came back later on my shopping trip. There's been a tag for weeks, but this is the first time I've seen him stocked there.

So far I've only seen Sky Lynx stocked in one Target, 70 miles from my house out in Germantown (a city near Memphis, TN). Alas, I had already paid mark up prices for him ($100) 3 or 4 weeks prior through Mercari.

On the plus side though, I got myself my first Detolf shelf out at the Germantown IKEA during that trip, as well as the Power Punch / Direct Hit micromasters lol

Ooof!
I went looking in Chicago, about 5 hrs from where I'm based, and never found one despite the Target app/website saying otherwise. Did find a mostly complete CW Defensor instead for really cheap compared to the current going rate. Anyway, I was about to order one from Meijer's web page, but a random stop by a Target 7 miles down the road, which wasn't supposed to have them or MPM 'Screamy had three of each on the shelf.
