I suspect the reason why both he and ratchet were not released individually is because they already surpassed the deluxe class they originated from. In Seige, they were the biggest deluxes in the line. And then in Earthrise, they were given the big sled accessory, already bumping them up. A few parts effects ala voyager Hot Rod and voila, voyager SS 86 Ironhide.
Indeed. To have a proper "G1" Rachet and Ironhide, they cannot be deluxes. Add more engineering to avoid partsforming, then add one or two extra gun and BAM! Voyager. SS86 Hotrod has set a precedent in that regard.
