Sources have tipped us off on a possible repaint or remold of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Ratchet, entitled 'Alien Form Ratchet'. A listing on Play.com (UK) gives us incite on this possibility.

The listing can be found here; Alien Form Ratchet

Alien Form Ratchet would be based on the original mold, 2007 Movie Ratchet, who was also made to make a G1-deco styled Ratchet entitled, Rescue Ratchet, and a more movie-accurate, metallic finish, Premium Ratchet, an exclusive to Best Buy.

Take this with a grain of salt, as it could simply mean the Wave 2 Ratchet that has already been released under the RotF tag. However that was released well into May and June, while this listing shows this figure arriving in July.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for your latest Revenge of the Fallen news and insight!

How would they remold the figure to look alien? This could be an awesome figure or an epic fail. All we need now are pictures.

I'll believe it when I see it.

what do u mean? they did the same with Optimus and Starscream as aliens, basically its a different word for Protoform, well thats my opinion, i think its a protoform figure of Rachet

The description matches that of Desert Tracker Ratchet. I would have to say that it is.

On TFWiki, I read there might be a deluxe class Ratchet.
I don't know if it's true. If it is, maybe this is it?

Animated maybe? Highly doubtful that Ratchet would get downgraded to the Deluxe class.

C'mon man, it's TFWiki. Some no named anonymous scrub could have edited that page and put Autobot Ratchet there. Nothing came out of Botcon that there would be a Deluxe 'Autobot Ratchet', however everything else that is there currently, was proven at Botcon.

Ryan reported that the BotCon panel announced a deluxe Ratchet.
And no anonymous editor can edit a page with false information and not have it removed after a max of 24 hours and that's when we're lazy.

[color-blue]That's the 'one' thing I missed in his Botcon report then >_< [/color]

I'm thinkin' it's the Animated Cybertronian Ratchet we saw pics of. :-?

Hasbro DID say they were going to release Animated characters in the ROTF line some how. But I could totally be wrong, so no one get mad

That may be the case over there in the US and Canada, but over here we've seen nothing other than Prime, Demolisher, Ironhide and Starscream voyager wise. We haven't even had an official release of Wave 2 deluxes, as they are currently only available in 2 shops (The Entertainer and John Lewis I believe).

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 3:11 am**

Fair enough. I'm leaning more towards the fact that this is simply just Desert Tracker Ratchet mistyped.

RE: The description

Bear in mind that play.com often re-uses descriptions for multiple items. It may be there temporarily, until the actual model is available.

(One example of repeating descriptions (of sorts), if you look at most of the description boxes for the Deluxe/Voyager/Leader classes, there's a trailer attached. Before you realise it's for the film, they make you think it's something to do with the model!)

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 4:07 am**

They mentioned a deluxe Ratchet at Botcon (see under Spring 2010 sneak peak:

ROTF DELUXE
Lockdown (TFA character as a ROTF styled figure - looks awesome)
Ratchet (comes w/ MP Blaster)
Dirge (complete with conehead, actually looks really cool, huge missiles under wings)

Isn't it obvious

It's a mistake made by Play

It's Wave 2, Now who comes with Ratchet in Wave 2 ?

The Fallen

There's your Alien Form and the Ratchet part is a mistake

Quiet obvious

Posted: **Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:36 am**

Actually I'm thinking it really is a mistake, remember the "30th Anniversary Transformer" for 5 quid? Yea it was 20th Any Prime in cartoon colours.

Unless they're referring to the other TFWiki, the Wikia one that gets vandalized all the time and nobody (except one or two people) cares.

Na he used it as a name.

I was just on eBay and I found a listing for a Voyager Fallen figure, but they didn't call it "Fallen" anywhere in the description; instead they referred to it only as "Voyager Alien Form". That seems to support the theory that "Voyager Alien Form Ratchet" is nothing more than a misprint.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0441052947

And if you read the description on the Play.com product page, it's clear that they're describing the Ratchet mold we're already familiar with, probably with a desert paint job:

"Racing across the sands of the northern Sahara desert, the roar of his engine echoing off the ever-shifting dunes, Autobot Ratchet charges towards the inevitable confrontation with Megatron and his assembled Decepticon army. Though he has battled against odds this bad in the past, no fight before has meant so much. He knows the fate of the universe rests on the outcome of this conflict, and he will do everything in his power to see to it that his allies come through it safe and victorious.

Recreate exciting movie scenes or stage your own living room battles with this awesome Autobot ally! Featuring an Automorph forearm cannon in robot mode, this fun figure is also sporting a secret weapon accessory - a hidden axe! In vehicle mode, unleash a Hummer H2 truck that's ready for action! With a convertible roof rack that becomes a shield or a combat stretcher, this super-cool vehicle is ready to roll out!"

What, is this, like, Cybertron mode Ratchet? Even without a pic, I know I will skip this one.
