MP-13B Ratbat Video Review

I saw a review earlier and caved in just to get ratbat. There's a bidding war on e-bay for a ratbat that has reached over $100 bucks. Now Ill have 2 soundwaves on the back shelf doing absolutely nothing, but these cassettes go right to my classics shelf. I wasn't happy with the KFC ratbat mold, I needed this.

SO true. Though I think the Soundblaster deco is cool, you know that hardly anyone (outside of Japan, anyway) is buying this for him alone. I think that's why they had to include Ratbat with him and him alone, so they could sell Soundblaster.

I think Takara could sell every Ratbat they could make, maybe even in a three pack with Garboil and Howlback- they'd be easy redecos of already existing molds. Hell, even Sundor and/or Glit would be easy. Only Cassetticons it wouldn't be easy to justify would be Slugfest and Overkill since they'd need to be all new molds.

I certainly hope Hasbro puts out a US re- release of the Masterpiece Soundwave with Ratbat, either instead of or as well as Buzzsaw. I had the figure in hand, and came *this* close to buying it, but I was like "there's no Ratbat, how can he be a masterpiece without Ratbat!"

Good review. I liked the humor. I agree with the radar dish comment. It's not the end of the world but I expected a little more there.
