Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-11 Ratchet Revealed with Pre-Order Live

I am so stoked for this, cannot express how happy I am to have my original 5 Autobots in perfect MPM form!

Like this guy?

No, like the SS figure. He looks overly wide in the shots they chose. Also, I still cant believe that after all these years, they still havent figured out how to hide his head in alt mode. It's still there, at the same damn place.

What do you mean? I can't see his...
*checks first render again*
Oh...

Well that's just awkward.


That being said it looks okay, though what's throwing me off is where the sirens end up in bot mode Surely that's mis-transformed?

Huh well I'll be.

Thanks for pointing out those arm cannons!

Although now, I feel bee was slightly shorted, since his shoulder cannons were awesome and showed up prominently in the movie, but were left out. And now the MPMs are including multiple weapons and accessories, and Bee only had his cannon

Why did it take 13 years to FINALLY get a good Ratchet figure?

I don’t think Megatron is too much larger thanProper movie scale would demand.

Ratchet’s looking like Ratchet. You know, I never did get any figures of him when I was collecting movie stuff; the original voyager figure always looked so stupid, and by the time the better deluxe figure came out I just wasn’t getting movie stuff aside from some select ‘cons. But I’m happy to fill out my MPMs, and I hope we get the rest of the Decepticons for the display.

Looks about right to me

While I really like SS Ratchet (one of my favorite deluxes from the line, actually), the MPM really nails the proportions and unique parts of Ratchet's design in a way no other figure has - the angled forearms and hands, the shoulders that sit a little lower, and the pieces that connect from the torso to the shoulders.

But it has the same issue as the previous ones. And the studio series toy is a decent enough representation for that scale. Did you think it was bad?

No, I like the SS figure well enough, but it felt like there wasn't much difference at all between that one and his previous deluxe figure. Movie 1/2/3 Voyager Ratchet (they really got some mileage out of that one) was too blocky and chunky. His Deluxe figures were too top-heavy design wise. I feel like MPM Ratchet is the first GOOD figure we've gotten that combines both his bulk and his design in the proper proportions.

My only quibbles with this figure are the mismatched paint on the painted translucent plastic for his doors- which isn't so bad in some of these wildly different photos. In some of them he looks neon green, in others, he looks straight up yellow. And, he could have used some silver paint on his face.

But, I stand by what I said.... this is the first GOOD, solid, all around accurately proportioned Ratchet figure we've ever gotten in the movieverse.
