Was this supposed to be a joke or something? It's bad comedy!

Seriously, I don't understand why Ton Ton is so mad about this figure. He liked the mold as Ironhide just fine. I'm beginning to think this guy doesn't really care for G1. Watch the Warpath review again. He doesn't seem to get the "dumb design choices" made in that figure either, despite the fact that it's supposed to be a G1 throwback, like most other toys in the War for Cybertron Trilogy.

If you want Ironhide and Rathchet to be different molds, there are PLENTY of other Transformers lines that have done just that. G1 is really about the only time that Ironhide and Ratchet were mold-mates. It's NO surprise whatsoever that in a G1-inspired line, that is striving to give us the most faithful modern updates of these characters as seen in the original cartoon, that they stuck with making Ratchet a white recolor of Ironhide with a new head and an added light bar on top. Also, of course the figure is mostly white. That's how G1 Ratchet looks. Of course he doesn't have the Red Cross symbols on his shoulders. He can't anymore. They're a protected trademark that the Red Cross actively defends. They could have spared some red paint for the pelvis and hands, but that's all I would change, along with maybe Autobot logos on the shoulders to replace the Red Cross symbols. Is he really that upset that the gun barrels hidden in the shield are white with gray muzzles instead of all gray? Is he for real!?

To be fair, they also shared a mold in Animated (their Cybertronian mode) and obviously classics. Now that I think about it, was there ever an ironhide released in Prime/Robots in Disguise? I don't even think there's an ironhide in Cyberverse (at least not in toy form)

You really want different molds look at how the live action movies handled the pair.

Disclaimer: I've never been bothered that they shared molds. I always took it that they had both started the same way but choose different career paths. I also still want to see the universe where Ratchets gender was kept female like his name sake

There was in Commander Class if I recall... with... Kup (?) I don't recall if they upsized it to Deluxe

Probably a less sweary review or Ratchet (spoiler it wont make the figure any less lazy) and the medic

plus reviews of RED figures have been online as well. Looking forward to seeing how the Prime comparse to WFC Primes.

[blackeyedprime]

Weird thing is the lightbar doesnt do nada, as much as I dislike Siege red alert, at least his did something.

Lifeline does look better over Arcee from having a painted face.

I'm not giving a guy who buys stolen toys any views. We know what the toy looks like already. I don't need to give advertising revenue to this.

There was a Deluxe Prime Ironhide, but it only got released as Ironhide by Takara, most of the world just got it as Kup at retail.

It was a really cool design for Ironhide too! I wish he had been made available in Hasbro markets and featured on the show.

agreed, although its a tad on the small end for a Deluxe, and especially for Ironhide. Now, a Voyager...

Psssst....The toes flip down in Robot mode

Yeah, I got told that on another message board. Just presume Scorpy stubbed his toes on a desk leg and isn't taking any chances.

[Bucky]

Anyone else’s collar piece on Scorponok come with a bunch of stress marks and fractures??

I just got him yesterday, and he’s a magnificent toy. I’m really bothered by this, and I’m wondering if it’s commonplace, or if I have awful, awful luck.

While my neck collar was not damaged but it was loose in the box as I noticed a rattle carrying it in from the car. When I opened him up and pulled the inner box out the collar fell out.

Mine was just fine, and I think you might just have some bad luck, those stress marks are really bad for something that is new.

Thanks to a post on the STFU Facebook page, we have our first image of the upcoming Runabout that completes the duo with Transformers Earthrise Runamuck. He does have a different head, in line with the G1 toy. However, it is a straight redeco for the rest of the car. The G1 versions were actually different cars. We have posted images of those below for comparison.
While we use the "Earthrise" moniker, it is just used here as a placeholder name until we know how this is actually getting released. At this point we have 5 different avenues of release with that being mainline retail, mainline retail exclusive (ie Amazon/Target), online only (ie Fan Channels) Netflix line and Generations Selects.

The paint detail differences on the front of the car modes actually do kinda create an illusion of them sorta looking like different cars.

[Deadput]

The head sculpts look different.

Edit: Huh the two always had different heads...huh how did I never notice?

The head sculpts look different.

Will said that.

I know the idea of ER having 4th wave has been dismissed by some, but Hasbro stated as much with their Map, and until Hasbro says they changed their plan, that is what I'm going with. I still believe that Runabout & Thrust may be the only toys of a standard retail 4th wave (repacked with others of course). Pretty much every exclusive has been revealed. It would not make sense to me for these to be released as Selects, nor in a 2 pack from Amazon, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Didn't read article just looked at pictures since tired and just browsing phone before sleep

[Sentinel_Primal]

I may actually pick up Runabout because I prefer that color scheme. I would pickup Runamuck, but the lack of orange makes the white a bit too overpowering

Well Thrust and Runabout both have WFC-E numbers, so selects is out. Also Thrust is WFC-E26, way too low to be in wave 4. Also, the shelf tags in Canada showed he was a solid case and likely an exclusive like Bluestreak. Runabout is WFC-E41 which does line up with wave 4 if it still exists, but it also lines up with where many exclusives ended up for Siege.

Keep in mind, the map is the only item that ever indicated a wave 4 and that would have been created before Covid-19 threw everything off.

Since wave 2 isn't even in stores yet, I can definitely see them moving Runabout to online only just so they don't have to delay the start of Kingdom. From a planning standpoint, skipping wave 4 for retail/in stores and moving it to online only makes the most sense so that they can try to line up Kingdom wave 1 for January.

[Mindmaster]

I mean obviously Runabout was going to be a thing but I’m taken by how spiffy he looks! Will definitely get him and Runamuck for sure.

[o.supreme]

Since wave 2 isn't even in stores yet,

The first sighting of wave 2 in stores happened this past weekend

Looks way better in black. The gold strips placement and lack of on runamuck along with the panels showing more, just make it look bad. Would have preferred the decepticon symbols to be on the hoods like the originals but hey.

Still on the fence due to runamuck and may go for g1 over them.
