Nice one. Might just be the first Henkei TF I´m getting.

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.

Definitely a buy for me.

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

I really like him. And you really do not notive the red 'brow' is out of place, until you see this one.

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 B-)

Henkei version crushes the Hasbro version this round, no contest.

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.
