agreed... Hot Shot is awesome... ive been looking forward to this figure for a while now

just hope his shoulders can go abit straighter than that... sorta like how Cybertron Hot Shots shoulders move..

but either way, very excited about this guy

Hot Shot is indeed awesome. If only it weren't for those horrid knees & legs. I absolutely hate knees & legs like that. They're too blocky, even for a robot. They remind of Alternator & Universe Sunstreaker. Regardless, I'll still end picking him up most likely. As for Ratchet, I'll wait for the Henkei release.

I can't believe i'm saying this about an autobot figure, but Hot Shot looks great. The paint scheme and build just work well. :APPLAUSE:

Ratchet's license plate says "Help Us", very nice... Hot Shot looks like the one I'll need to complete my Unicron Trilogy Hot Shot set. I originally wanted one from each show, but the original Armada one never really appealed to me

wow im surprised either theres a typo at bbts or thats the official price for hotshot 15.99 he looks more 29.99 not 25.99 but who am i to argue the price is great if nots a typo.

i would really like to see hotshot get a store release i have no problem odering online but its the hunt that makes transformer collecting for me going to stores every now & then to see if they have him in or not to me thats fun.

Hot Shot looks great, but I will wait to see Takara's version to make my final decision and for Ratchet I'll only buy Hasbro's version to get his weapon and maybe repaint him all blue to look like Skids and probably sculpt a new head. :grin:

yeesh. The Hot Shot Prototype looked better than that. I might get hims and repaint him back as a prototype. I'll wait for Henkei Ratchet.

Wow...nothing but pure win. I LOVE that Hot Shot figure...and that Jolt is a significant improvement on the Minicons...

Not a big fan of either the Ironhide or Ratchet altmodes...too many lines and creases in the windows. Good robot modes though...

I think im gonna need to see a review on Universe Hotshot before I pass judgment.

Boy, sure can't wait to see the actual figures with their flat colors molded into the plastic with painted parts that don't match. Throw in some messy apps and possible sticky parts and we have a recipe for a win. Oh, also loose joints. Can't forget about those.

Not bad. Hot Shots not that great since its almost an exact copy of the original just with more joints but its better then the original and Ratchets just awesome. Think ill pick both of them up.

I like those. I always was a fan of the Armada Hot Shot figure, and this is an inprovment of my fav Armada Autobot. I'm deffinately going to get this one.

I am definately getting Hotshot he is made of awesome. =P~

If they sort out all the problem with the Ironhide mold I may get Ratchet.

Idunno...that Hot Shot looks almost TOO much like his Armada self, right down to the big fat arms and what appears to be the exact same leg transformation. Unimaginative.

And if this is another "I hope they'll make him stick together more in alt mode and make him look up in 'bot mode....I think you'll be disappointed....

You forgot about the extremely large mass of plastic around all of their limbs that prevents them from transforming at all. That's the part that has me excited!

Do we have comparison pics of the US vs Japanese Ratchet?

I have the Japanese version on preorder at BBTS, and I'm not sure if I want to cancel till I see final paint schemes.
