I thought Optimus only wanted the Decepticons' faces.

I thought it was Circuit Breaker who had the face fetish?

Ah! Welding/spark effect. Got it.

MP Ratchet, Inevitable but still awesome.

I love how these two look like they have little boots. So cute.

Yeah, they're going for the models as specified by the original Diaclone toys. In Ironhide's case he's "Onebox Cherry Vanette" owned by Nissan.

Would it would be safe to say that Hasbro would have no trouble releasing these guys since they released Prowl and Blue Streak who are also licensed by Nissan?

either way, that Ratchet is gorgeous

Technically, ratchet has remolded parts, and those parts (the diaper specifically) play a major role in our subconscious understanding of what looks proportionately correct, the straight lines work a lot like patterns on clothing in making you perceive something in a certain way. I believe that that and the color are working really hard in this guys favor.

Plus the other factors, like the fact that he may be a lesser known/loved character and thus comes under far less scrutiny, or the fact that we knew this was coming and thus you are just resigned to accepting it.

Either works for me. They both still look very nice to me.

Yes, I think it is safe to say they will be issued by Hasbro. However, since the sled is a part all on its own I wouldnt put it past Hasbro to release them without it.

That is all so well said. I would also like say that it has a lot to do with the fact that there is less contrast on ratchet. It's all white so parts like the hip kibble blend better with the robot.

Never really thought of that till you said it. It does work much better
