Agreed. Conjures up memories of Dreamwave; when I saw Ratchet in Sunbow colors on a printed page, I had a bad feeling that someone at the helm just didn't get it. Show-accuracy is fine for the rest of the original Ark crew, but Ratchet and Prowl were iconic because of their Marvel characterization. There were much bigger problems in the first DW series, but that detail gave me a sense that this new TF Universe was going to crash and burn before its time, and that's not just hindsight bias.Rodimus Prime wrote:It's still weird to see Ratchet with a white helmet and black crest instead of a red helmet and white crest in a comic.

As long as they don't keep it slave to the G1 cartoon, or wings universe or whatever asinine thing they're calling it. Let it be its own thing, like IDW was.Bumblevivisector wrote:Agreed.

Here though, on the cover of a restart comic that just has to be different enough from IDW instead of bringing all of G1 back from the dead in an appeal to old fans who'd considered it to have been so for over a decade...could work. We'll see.
