I completely agree, I didn't really have that much interest in iron hide but I'm very interested in ratchet and I think it has to do with that area.

I dunno.. Just not feeling it with either one..

No more so than G1 already did (well, maybe just a bit more). Of course there's multiple scale charts so your milage may vary.

Yes please!

I was hoping for a Ratchet from the same mold when Ironhide was announced.

Kapow Toys has him up for preorder as well, for £57.99 Link

Looks Great just some people are gonna complain the same things mp-ironhide had even though you could expect some kind of third party upgrade kit of some kind plus if your getting the red Bumblebee your probably getting ironhide and ratchet and some people are mad that mp-30 wasn't galvatron even though we probbaly gonna get an mp galvatron at some point.

I agree that the different pattern on the diaper helps quite a bit;

Though, maybe rachet could fix up ironhide's doofy body

Here he is, folks. The greatest Generation 1 Autobot who ever lived. He who rushed Sparkplug Witwicky to the hospital to save his life, he who made a deal with the Devil (Megatron) to save every Autobot inside the Ark, he who found and revitalized the Dinobots in the Savage Land, he who outsmarted and bested Megatron by unleashing the Dinobots upon him rather than upon Shockwave, he who restored to life every fatally injured Autobot in the Ark during the Shockwave crisis, he who used Megatron's Pretender technology to resurrect Jazz, Grimlock, and Goldbug (now Bumblebee again), he who flung Megatron and himself into Unspace to stop Megatron from escaping the base that was about to blow up thanks to Ratchet having also locked on to explosives that Megatron was going to use to blow up the Ark, he who fought off Starscream whilst in a physically- and mentally-weakened state, and he who brought down the Ark onto Earth in an attempt to take out the lives of Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and Galvatron all in one fatal go, sacrificing himself in the process.

Wow he did all that?
Never followed the comics closely.
As for the figure itself I am stoked!!
