If you guys have some requests...let me know. I'm working on a video but it might not be too great (a lot of personal issues lately, but doing some work helps get my mind off things)

*sorry about the brightness, iphones suck sometimes*

I don't hate the looks of this Ratchet. Animated's was horrible, this looks real nice.

I really do hate my camera...again, sorry for the quality guys. Anyone that says the iPhone camera is good, is a liar

HAHAHA True words, right here. One of the worst cameras I've ever seen. Your's works far better than mine. If I want a picture of blurred colors? Sure, my phone works well. lol

Seibertron.com member optibotimus has posted a few quick in-hand images of Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Ratchet. The images include Ratechet with the rest of the Autobot crew, the team is finally complete! Check out his images below.

Update: For those of you who enjoy video reviews optibotimus has posted that as well.

Wish the red was darker, but I love it. I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely love it when I can't tell how the transformation goes just by looking at it.

Needs to be taller. Not quite up to Voyager height, but still taller.

He's depressingly small, in either mode. :sad:

We can only hope a reasonably scale-accurate Voyager release is in the works.

by **Doubledealer93** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:26 pm

he would be perfect if he had more red but this will do just fine! reprolables will fix that just fine.

i agree that hes a touch too small. but other then that, i think hes perfect. too bad his chest doors are fake though. cant wait to see the vid review

The video is coming guys...it's uploading now. It's not my best work...i haven't been doing too well the past couple days (personal stuff)...but i know a lot of people wanted to see this guy. You'll just notice i'm not my normal "chipper" self

He's (very VERY slightly) taller than FE Bumblebee so I am okay with him. Wish he was a bit bigger, but he looks so good I can't complain that much

He's actually very VERY slightly shorter than FE Bumblebee. The picture i posted here is a bit deceiving i guess because Ratchet is in the foreground while Bumblebee is in the background. Forced perspective is going on slightly and making Ratchet look taller than Bee then he actually is.

Oh well. He still looks fairly big for a deluxe these days. A Voyager one would probably be really out of scale or a really small voyager.

You probably answered this in your review, but do the knives store somewhere in vehicle mode? Other than attached to his bumper I mean

OOPS DOUBLE POST

by **tf459** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:14 pm

I hope everything is ok optibotimus. I can't wait to see this review. I'm hoping he shows up at retail soon. Mad I missed out on him at hts and toysrus websites

News Credits: 9 · by **Archatron** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:22 pm

Too small, that's disappointing but it looks ok figure-wise. I was hoping he'd fit in with my first editions because I am not getting those "imposter" versions of OP and Bulky. :lol:

Thanks for sharing regardless Optibotimus.

The colors look mildly better here than in previous pics. It's a shame he's so small. I hope there's a voyager in the works, but if not I can probably settle for this one since Ratchet isn't one of my big favorites anyway.

Its a decent enough mold but it desperately needs some paint apps. Hopefully Takara gets it right.

News Credits: 5 · by **--B--** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 8:49 pm

I wonder if this would make a decent Classics Ratchet after a head swap with the Kreo Ratchet :-?

Any chance you have both Optibotimus?

I like it, but it definitely needs more red. I'll be getting it b/c it seems like a desired figure & I like it

I do hope we get a voyager one preferably the same height as bulkhead.

not bad but not great either, needs more paint a little remolding. Size wise though he actually looks deluxe size, unlike all the others in this line & DOTM.
