Deluxe Cybertron Mode Autobot Ratchet
Back when the war was at its worst, even the Autobots who weren't programmed to fight were called into battle. More than once, Autobot Ratchet was forced out onto the battlfield not just as a medic, but as a warrior. They're not memories he likes to recall, but he learned more than one lesson that has saved his life in the years since.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* Injured Autobots often request him as their medic.
* Specializes in modifying armor and weapons to peak conditions.
* When forced to fight, usually shoot to disable, instead of destroy.



Deluxe Arcee
Arcee has dedicated her life to the power of information. As a teacher, she saw to it that young Autobots all learned the value of the facts, and how to tell truth from lies. During the war, she turned her dedication to the truth to carrying data for the Autobot High Command, often from deep behind enemy lines. She will face any danger to defend what is right, no matter what the cost.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* One of the top sword fighters on Cybertron
* Modified to make rocket-powered jumps in car mode.
* Encrypted memory core is nearly impossible to hack.

EDIT: To clarify my ire, the nearest TRU to this backwater I live in is a FULL-DAY'S DRIVE AWAY. Looks like I'll be getting these online.

I hope they have better distribution than the exclusive Perceptor and Insecticons. I had to order Perceptor online because my local stores had no clue about them.
Any idea of a release date?

Hasbro said Spring 2010. With The-Arker getting these pics late in November, I'd have to say that might be true.

Revival line? Hasbro said at Botcon the rest of the toys would be released as store exclusives and the like.
Again though, the thing I don't understand is that Target, TRU AND WalMart all still carry Animated toys, so I don't see why Hasbro can't just sell them the new ones... none of those retailers have shown interest in putting them on clearance either.
Anyways, Ratchet is bought, I like him. Arcee though, I still think looks like crap. It's her arms, they look poorly done. The joints look all funky.

I have a really bad feeling about this, Toys 'R Us exclusives? All the TRU's in The Netherlands are now ToysXL, so we won't get any period. Is this the future of transformers? If you want the new TF movie 3 decepticons you have to pay extra.
I don't like this, I really want that new Ratchet and especially Arcee, now I'm thrown at the mercy of Scalpers... again.
They look great
