iGear's Ratchet and Ironhide look better. These look ok but kinda look like a papercraft model. Though, I wonder if TFC will have theirs out before iGear. That being said. Isn't it a bit late on the third party Ratchet and Ironhide? They are supposed to be out soon.

These look like they would fit well with a G1 collection.

Aren't they too large for a G1 collection?

It
s amazing how much good cgi can make even the lamest toy look nice. If I hadn't seen the prototypes and have a good idea on how these will turn out, these would actually make me want 'em.

The van mode is horrible like some kind of Tonka toy. But notice how much better the head looks as Ratchet without the huge mohawk. Aerialbots got my attention. I think Im gonna just wait till they all come out and order them at robotkingdom and save maybe $60 after shipping. They kept getting restocks of Hercules.

I thought that there was some kind of physical prototype that was supposed to be at TFCON of the Arsenal Primus, was it just the computer rendering that were released?

I was really hoping the vehicle mode would have been better, because I prefer the robot mode of Arsenal Primus over igears. Sadly, it looks way off. It looks like an icecream truck or paddy wagon? The back end is way too square and the wheels are too far apart.
