I was kind of hoping he'd have the water cannon that he freed Slag from the tar pits with, but this is a must buy regardless

Wow, somehow I missed that this mold was so large in bot mold but still fits in Prime's trailer in vehicle mode. Super cool.

Ironhide didn't do much for me but Ratchet gives me a bad case of the wants. It's amazing what a different deco can do for a mold.

Best damned shot from the whole of the Marvel comics. A true badass who was more Autobot than the Marvel Prime. And I say, SCREW the Shuttle Massacre from that damned 1986 movie! :evil:

I like the Ironhide figure, but I'm really excited for Ratchet, almost as much as I am for Shockwave. I do wish they had played up MP-30 as a 30th anniversary movie figure. I almost wish they had made him MP-29R just to preserve the 30 spot even if he isn't an exclusive.

I agree that this mold does look a little better in white. I'm still reserving judgement until we get in hand reviews. This mold just doesn't seem to photograph well & the poses it has been put in aren't helping it's cause.

Ok, with all that pelvic thrusting behind us, let's move on.
I am excited for Ratchet. My only beef is, I was hoping to get Ironhide in hand before I felt any pressure to pre-order the Doc. I almost liked it better when the MPs were slower to release. The bank account had more time to recover, and they felt more like a "big deal" when they finally came out.
It's raining MPs right now! pretty silly thing to complain about, really.

Ratchet looks better than Ironhide. I like it
. Like how they incorporated the autobot insignia into the cross
. I love how he fits in Prime's trailer with sirens collapsed
. New accessories are great and different enough
. Underwear instead of Ironhides diapers
:D

*copy and paste*
Although I anticipated a redeco of MP Ironhide to Ratchet will be happening, I certainly was not expecting so soon especially when TTomy just announced MP Hot Rod, Shockwave, or the Ramjet revelation. Looks like 2016 will be busy for MP figures, even my boy MP22 will get reissued in Feb.2016.

In regard to Ratchet, overall he looks a lot better than Ironhide, kind of strange, lol. Even his kibble doesn't look bad compare to poor Ironhide, lol, must be the white on white. The shoulder red cross insignia, it's a good approach by TTomy in diverging the copyright. My only minor regret, I wish they would've made the shoulder Autobot insignia much, much, smaller say the same size as the one on his front cab. That would allow the red cross line to be extended a little bit longer and also does not made the Autobot insignia too much of a distraction.

In short, I will be getting MP Ratchet as my MP Autobots will be needing their medic bot. Also, my Wheeljack will be happy to see his old friend. MP Ironhide, with my lack of space, I may be skipping him for the moment.

I would say that at the rate that they are now being issued, that it is an entirely relevant concern to voice. But with the delays each one gets, I wouldn't be so worried :-P

I don't know what it is, but these pictures CP found are really doing it for me. Even Ironhide looks less awkward for some reason. Ratchet's blue windows looks awesome. Maybe it's the natural light.
...and, hey! I just noticed Ratchet's pelvis and thighs are re-sculpted. That's always a nice touch.
