Special Super Bowl 41 gallery: Transformers the Movie Ratchet toy pics now online!

A say and say you need to do video reviews on youtube of all these guys.

Got through 155 of them when I finally broke down and started writing this post.

Thanks for doing the comparison pics with Armada Red Alert. Great pictures!

My opinion of this figure is mostly the same, only a bit more so: while I really hate that deco, that's not gonna stop me from buying this one when it's out. In spite of the deco this figure's very easily my personal favorite as far as what we've seen so far. Not that the others suck mind you. This one's just the best. Only the object-formers really compete so far.

I like the shot of him holding up the G1 Ratchet. Besides it looking cool, it shows that this isn't a flimsy hard to balance figure.

But much like IronHide, I need to come up with a name for him.

That is a pretty neat TF. The automorph feature is pretty lame, though. Not because it's a lame gimmick, so to speak, but because his dosen't do much at all.

Which was my whole point when everyone was arguing about the "auto-morph feature". I was actually really glad that it had a very small part to do with the Transformers' actual transformation. Starscream's is more noticeable than Ratchet's. Starscream's chest "explodes" from the front of the jet to his chest. Ratchet ... it's just his feet making the knee cap and "calf" muscles going into place.

Somewhere in Hong Kong, there's a Chinese warehouse worker laying facedown in a puddle of his own blood, with an Armada Unicron embedded into the back of his cranium. And with several TF movie toy items missing.

I'm sorry but these factories are not in hk. Though you might have a sense of humor, you need to work on your understanding of the foreign economics and labor condition before using any jokes related to the subject. No offense, but to anyone who lives in Asia, it would be your lack of knowledge that is actually funny.

Ok, then share with us your knowledge of the factory locations if you're going to critique someone else's knowledge.

I thought TF's were made in China, Taiwan and Macau. Pretty sure they're not in HK (even though it is part of China now) but I could be wrong.

WHO Is that other transformer.. That looks like a Transformer's classic Rachet ???

ppl said that the botcon 2005 ratchet should be in the classics line
