Bummer, no news credit for me too...
In any case, this guys is crazy chromed but it's actually not too tacky IMO. I really don't like Ironhide in either version but I actually like this version of Ratchet. I might preorder this guy after all.

So is it safe to assume the earlier pic with the red forehead crest is the TFU version?

Here's the Hasbro one we saw earlier for comparison.
I think I'll be getting the Henkei one, which is fitting since Henkei Ironhide is on the way to me now. They'll make a good pair
I know his head is different is coloured differently in a bunch of the comics, but he just looks so right with the black head crest. Geeeeeeeee wun cartoon style

WOW just WOW! Eyes pop out of head! That's purty. This is a must buy now figure and if I saw it in a store and an old lady had her hands on the last one. I would have to beat her for it!

Other than the color of his head-crest; Oh look, its yet another "What Hasbro should have done" figure.

I think HAsbro's version is just fine. Sure there is one or two things I'd change but, overall I think Hasbro is doing a fine job with Universe.

Agreed. I like it and will get one when I find it.

I really like it.
I never have had any reason or want to buy any of the Henkei releases until Ratchet. I think the Black brow and deep white sold me on it.

Wow. The Henkei version does look a lot nicer on the computer screen than the Hasbro. However, I will haev to see the Hasbro version in person. I don't pay the extra money if I don't have to.

Too bad the Hasbro version doesn't have the same chrome. I want this figure, but I'll sacrifice the chrome for the conviniance of cash-and-carry at a local retailer.

Wow! For a character I don't really care about I'm suddenly much more enthused about this figure, even to the extent where I keep on looking at the pictures to see if they're as cool as I remember!

This might very well be the first Henkei version I go out of my way to find. I'm not a fan of Takara's chrome-itis, but it's not tacky this time. But the brighter colors and black crest win it out.
Though the 'H3LPU2' license plate on the Hasbro version amuses me.
Bets on them calling the blade a laser scalpel?

Amen to that! The Hasbro version looks like the paint apps were applied by my 2 year old. Ratchet is a favorite of mine and seeing him in G1 anime colors has me dang-near giddy. The last time I was this excited was seeing the City Commander set!
It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine!

Imo, that is much nicer looking than Hasbro's.

either way you look at it, this Ratchet color scheme does a lot better justice to the mold than the crappy red that is used for ironhide. i was so down on this mold, but i'll get this one-i don't care which one, although i certainly prefer the henkei over the hasbro.
