Whatever the green voyagers name is, he is boss.


And Ratchet is pretty in pink.

Somehow I don't think he's pink. xD

Okay I feel i need to clarify. That is NOT Dreadwing. They made a mistake. THIS is Dreadwing. So no he is not a griffin thing now. More like..a moth made love to a chicken... But that being said shockwave looks great and I'm definitely getting the ultramagnus

FINALLY a picture of Dreadwing. Where the heck has this been all day? But we all figured that out already, somebody on Toy Fair's side goofed when they were putting out markers or annoucing thing or what have you, no doubt.

As for reactions...

MOTHER OF GOD, DREADWING, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU!?

I henceforth dub thee, Chickenwing.

[PrymeStriker]

Ratchet's photoshopped image is one epic-ass BW Dinobot/Dinobot II homage!



But...the final product looks ugly.

[craggy]

oh heck yeah! that Ratchet is fuglylicious!

Why do I imagine Tony Todd in Dreadwing's voice going "Terrible things..."?

That was clever as hell, no lie.

Okay, I can't hate this.

Ratchet has me worried..what the heck is gonna happen to these guys in the show??

They're going to travel through a time vortex and end up smack dab in the middle of the Beast Wars apparently .

[craggy]

I'm thinking it'll probably be like the Transmetals in Beast Wars. Maybe some of the characters will adopt new looks, maybe even just on a temporary basis, but others might not. Can't really imagine Ratchet from the cartoon letting himself look like that.
Not sure I'm that bothered though, because it's an awesome toy.

Ratchet will have another Synth-en binge, single-handedly beat down every enemy in sight, fall through a wormhole and say hi to Dinobot's spart as it leaves his body, and say, "He NEEDED that!"

The end.

that ratchet is boss!

glad i am getting that raise in a few months.

[BATTOUSAIXD]

Shockwave looks great, so I guess I'll have to buy him!

[Mindmaster]

For fans of Beast Hunters (meaning YOU, Pryme):

[Autobot Strider]

And that convinced me: Magnus is bought on site. Glad I waited, thanks!

Not loving the wings, but am loving the hammer.

[RAcast]

Shooockwaaaave.

[PrymeStriker]

Grimwing's growing on me. Might be the only Voyager Predacon I buy.

[roBROmanceFTW]

Man, Magnus definitely makes that RID mold look good.

[CBratetron]

oh heck yeah! that Ratchet is fuglylicious!

Sounds and looks like a new ice cream flavor.

[DinobotSix]

Shockwave and Magnus look fabulous. Must buy!! Ratchet is interesting indeed. Ugly but compelling. Wonder if they're bringing Dreadwing back into Prime somehow, or if this is just a posthumous BW styled send-up. Looks decent though. Thanks for the show updates, posts and all the hard/fun work to all involved!

[Henry921]

Shooockwaaaave.

Well said.

And it echoes my sentiments exactly. I preordered him a while back, and despite some doubts at the first scan, I am once again resolute in my support of the Decepticon's rightful leader.

I've been buying the BH deluxes by wave, so I'll probably do the same and get Ratchet, Dreadwing, and Skystalker in one go. I'll also lay odds they'll have another character in the wave, most likely Arcee.

Grimwing I'm kind of on the fence about, and I'm pretty sure I'll pass on both versions of Ultra Magnus and use PRID Magnus with the 3rd party Forge Dr. Wu's working on.

Passing on Ultimate Optimus, getting Ultimate Predaking. Getting a nice big army of Preds, so Hasbro, get to work on those redecos/retools of Ripclaw and Lazerback. For once I'm actually excited to buy a retool.

Ratchet, while reminding me of Rhinox, is actually kind of disturbing to look at. While I do have issues with some of the figures in this line (I wish this one was bigger or I wish that was a different colour), Ratchet is the first one where I wish they hadn't actually made it.
