It could just be that they gave it some touch-ups or that what they DID change is still some-what fresh and they wanted to protect it during shipment. When I say "some-what fresh" I mean painted a day before transport or something. Because it does look like the lighter coloured parts are all covering where the red on him is supposed to be.
Possibly. His green looks different to me too, but that may just be the photograph. Since Bumblebee has been touched up somewhat I wouldn't be totally amazed if Ratchet also changed a lot.

I noticed that but I doubt that they've castrated Prime. More likely that they have to be taken off for safe transport, or he's getting new ones or it'll be fixed in CGI or something.

What? It could happen.

For Primes stacks they re-moved them for travel on the trailer since the stacks could clip a low bridge or traffic lights.

I've never seen this type of truck in real life so I don't know how it will compare to the size of a H2, but it looks like a small truck... smaller than what it seems in the movie. This kind of surprised me. He is so small that another truck can carry it (ultra magnus? lol)

Trikeboy wrote:Why has nobody commented on Ultra Magnus in this shot. At least he isn't a straight white repaint and he does have a trailer . This could be the first still from the movie. Maybe Ratchet gets vandalised and Optimus get badly damaged.
Because we all know that, in the Bayverse, battle-damaged robots all transform into pristine, shiny cars and trucks...

The smokestacks on Prime are removed for transport as they are too long and can get damaged when they go under multilevel crossings and such.
As for Ratchet, it looks like they did a touchup on the paint and labels on the sides and just have it covered up with some paper or plastic to protect it from scratching.

As for Ratchet's new paint job. Yes, that's new and not just the color. It's not just the picture making him look lighter in color. We'll have to wait and see what may be hidden on his doors and side box...if anything at all.

At least they modify the toys to some degree. Remember G1? Shipment after shipment of the same toys, same molds, same paint jobs.
At least now, they're breaking up the monotony some.
Granted, I do think some of the figures could use an overhaul, and I'm not sure why Ratchet hasn't been one of them outside of Deluxe, but it's better than G1.
And when they did rerelease the figures in the G1 mail aways, they were the original toys, same old, same old.

theyll probably put the paint job over left over tf and rotf and call it the new ratchet
maybe theyll add a little thing on the axe and call it a gun
how dumb
though it seems everyone is getting new mold this movie
cant wait to see it

The blue and white squares on ratchet are defenatly cover ups for some logos of some sort. Maybe he switched sides?
