Japanese fans who buy the new Transformers Art Book (Complete Visual Works) next week will have the opportunity to buy a special mail-in figure: G1 Ratchet in TF Movie colors. This promotion is open only to residents of Japan.

I say, let 'em have it...this time!

This has my vote to be counted among the most entertainingly bad TFs ever released. It combines the headless, oddball G1 Ratchet mold with the color most people disliked on the movie toy. It also reads "Fire Department" on a vehicle that would never belong to one, has blue lightbars, and is an exclusive. Color me amused that this exists. I like plenty of the movie toys (including Ratchet) and plenty of G1 (including Ratchet), but this misbegotten attempt to combine the worst of both worlds serves mainly as an example of just how ridiculous our fandom can get. Hurrah!

I hate to say it, but I've not seen a sin that looked uglier. And I've seen some pretty ugly sins.

The Mystery Machine's been done from this mould, actually, and it looked nothing like this. I'll peg this as one of the most ridiculous ideas yet...

VERY VERY SAD

Does it have neon underneath it that glows when you turn off the lights?

Okay, now THAT's weird. Really weird! But I'm strangely intrigued...

This is for the TF fan with a warped sense of humor.

I happen to be one of those. :grin:

Looks pretty good! I always liked Movie Ratchet's colors.

That's kind of cool actually! It's just funny to see a G1 mold pay homage to a movie bot, when usually it's the other way around!

by **Dr. Z** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 10:01 am

I want one. Gotta find a friend in Japan, quick!

I agree completely. But I'd probably buy one if I were able to. Weird how that works, huh?

Just like the exclusive red/pink Starscream HD DVD player toy, I will most definitely 100% pass. Sorry guys ... no gallery of these figures on Seibertron.com.
