The Energon Pub

so i got paid today and went to toysrus and they had a ton of toys left still thankfuly(but was picked over a bit) some kid took the last delux bumblebee and delux brawl.....i wanted BB........ anyways they had a ton of leader primes i wanted to get one but at $34 after already stupidly buying $40 worth of books i couldnt.....anyways ratchet awsome. im getting use to his green but i would love the re-paint ver also. onr thing that they had which i didnt know they were gonna do was a box set with voyager blackout and delux scorponok calling it the decepticon desert defense or something like that. it was only $24!!!! i might go back and pick it up....

Ratchet is truelly an nice figure, hes transformation is simple, and hes plastic seems pretty strong.

In my contry Leader class figures cost ... : ! 108$ !!!

And i bought them both, Megs and Prime ! ...

Okay ... its thanks to the danish Moms, 25% + on everything. And the shipping + told. ...

I wish ratchet's hands were poseable and he had a better weapon on his right hand than that fin (or whatever), but I too love him. I dig the green.

Agreed, Ratchet is greatness in a strange green wrapping.

The green isnt as lurid as some pictures make it out to be. He has a neat transformation. I think the robot mode looks good. If only those wheels werent either side of his head, poor old ratchet cant see whats at either side of him.

Overall Ratchet is a great figure
but the head of him,,,

i like the automorph feature on ratchet the best i think. it's simple and it adds a little something without being too much. i like ironhide's automorph too, but i dislike blackout and swindle, their upper torso head seems to face in the direction of the spring pull.

i finnaly got the classic BB. woot. his transforming is pretty simple also but his hood part that goes down whe u push the button doesnt like connect all the way when put back together. looks like its being oulled apart? kinda hard to explaine it in words. any1 else see that 2pack scorponok/blackout? i didnt go back to get it but i wish i did still.

Yeah, that's a Toys R Us exclusive. Had you gone to Walmart, you could have gotten Bumblebee and Barricade in an exclusive 2 pack for only 16.00.

Oh I agree his head looks like that of a cyber walrus

I want to know what automorph technology he has?

I transformed him but there wasn't anything different about doing it

Anyone know why at least on the UK release, his box boasts an arm cannon? =\

Rotating his feet into position unlocks his knees (which lets him transform) and bulges out the paneling on his legs.

The box my Ratchet came in mentions an arm cannon as well, but there is no arm cannon. Booooo!!

He and Jazz are the only characters from the movie I haven't bought yet, aside from the obligatory Prime and Megs figures. The ones I have so far are:

Barricade & Frenzy
Blackout & Scorponok
Brawl
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Scorponok (Deluxe Version)
Starscream

I got Blackout and the Deluxe Scorponok in the Desert Attack Two Pack at TRU. I also have Wreckage and the Real Gear figures Spy Shot 6 and Booster X10. I do intend to grab the Dreadwing figure when it comes out.

ya mine said that to im so confused...

Ratchet is my second favorite of the movies toys. As a toy its really the best IMO, I havent gotten leader prime yet but based on what I have seen I am still favoring Ratchet. Also I think the design/look of the figure is probably the best next to Brawl. It has enough of the old school elements to offset the bad movie parts. I really dont mind the color, I mean supposedly they are going with a "real" look for the figures and a bright green color is actually rather common among real life recue vehicles.


On a side note I think the TRU Blackout/Scorpinock two pack is a bit of a rip off at $25.00. I mean you are getting two $10 deluxe figures, one of which doesnt really transform (Scorp). The Wal-mart two pack on the other hand is actually a good deal.

Blackout is a Voyager-class figure. That's why you're paying $25 for the Desert Attack pack.

u know i was wondering about the price and why it was like that. im gonna try and get the 2pack so i dont have to buy both seperate.

I pretty much fail to see how ratchet could be any better. He's an instant favourite with me. I went out for Ironhide, couldn't find him so came home with the big green fella instead. Happy days.
