TFClub's dedicated store webpage at Taobao.com (Chinese Auction website) has listed a couple of upcoming Transformers movie toys - Voyager Class Night Ops Ratchet & Scout Class Backfire. Both of the figures are repaints, as Night Ops Ratchet is from 2007 Movie Ratchet mold and Backfire is another repaint of Revenge of the Fallen Reverb

Six of one... Reverb is a repaint of Knockout; Backfire is a repaint of either :)

This is the fourth deco for the motorcycle dude. Is he really selling strong enough for that? I'm kinda sick of seeing him myself.

Ya know, despite the fact that I own regular '07 voyager Ratchet and the follow-up "Rescue" version, I WOULD have probably still bought this N.O. version if they had thrown in a gun, LIKE HE HAD IN THE MOVIE. I bought the recon IH because of the new weapons, after all, not the paint job. This Ratchet is just another uninspired repaint.

Pass on the Knockout clone too. ONE version of that figure is more than enough for my collection. They seem to really be using the heck out of that particular mold for some reason. And IMO it's one of the least striking scout molds to boot.

Backfire is a FAIL repaint of a FAIL mold, pretty much FAIL.

Ratchet looks better in the darker colors than the puke green, but still not my cup of tea.

More passes for me!

I wouldn't mind the ROTF Bike mold, if only the leg plates didn't pop off every off time and had terrible balancing issuies. Although I'll probably get Backfire because he's totally in Canadian colors.

this is like the 100th repaint of both of these molds. I'm tired of all the repaints for this line. I'm finding it hard to even imagine taking an interest in the third movie.

Not me, man. I'm army building with this little dude!

I really like the mold and it displays well next to movie stuff, classics and even alts where it is in really good scale.

Wow, they're really milking the repaints for all they're worth. I have the first G1-inspired Ratchet so I won't be picking this up, and while I actually do like the motorcycle mold, I already have one, so I have no reason to get this.

I'm with you reptras! I like this mold. But I only have the Knockout version and none of the Con versions of this mold. I'll definitely be getting Backfire. They'll be my bot equivalent to Rumble and Frenzy!
