Axor's head reminds me of a cow. You know, like the little cow on a bottle of Elmer's glue? Weird.

I like his colors, but don't think his design fits the movieverse any better than Lockdown did.

I think you're quite right!

Yeah, there's definitely a resemblance there. I shall buy one and paint it white with black spots & "eat more chikin" graffiti on the doors. :grin:

Axor looks a lot darker than some pics made him out to be (maybe this is a variant?). I'll definitely be getting both of these guys, especially since I have neither of the original molds.

Speaking of Rescue Ratchet, why haven't we seen a red repaint of deluxe of Ironhide yet?

Oh great, Decepticows.

I kinda want Ratchet, mainly to give Lockdown his gun. But I just know if I get him I'll end up getting Ironhide and Optimus to go with him.

I'm trying to resist buying Rescue Ratch- I have the original and it's really good IMO, altho I had to shorten his legs to make him Ironhide's height. If they make a red Deluxe Ironhide I'll buy this Ratchet immediately- hear that, Hasbro?

Axor is a great mold, and I love that he has a new head and weapon. But to me, Lockdown has a unique design because of his line of work. Not sure if that look fits another character.

Same here, although all I really want is Generations wave 2, but my son wants Axor.

Huh? Lockdown had a multisegmented neck that's probably the most posable in all Transformers history.

Rescue Ratchet doesn't look half as atrocious as the previous deluxe mold! Still I'd like a voyager, not that having the Electro Magnetic Pulse generator on axor wouldn't be awesome at all. It's just, I think Ratchet looks better as a voyager.

Maybe the neck works but it is so thick and HUGE !!! Kind of looks like one of those fat guys whose head attaches right to their shoulders giving the appearance of no neck. But then the figure has a skinny frame. Just looks weird to me.

I er...uh...I have to get Rescue Ratchet. Even though I already have Voyager Rescue Ratchet. Maybe I should just make separate Movie 2007 & ROTF/HFTD shelves and be done with it.
