Wish the red was darker, but I love it. I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely love it when I can't tell how the transformation goes just by looking at it.

Needs to be taller. Not quite up to Voyager height, but still taller.

He's depressingly small, in either mode. 
We can only hope a reasonably scale-accurate Voyager release is in the works.

He's (very VERY slightly) taller than FE Bumblebee so I am okay with him. Wish he was a bit bigger, but he looks so good I can't complain that much

He's actually very VERY slightly shorter than FE Bumblebee. The picture i posted here is a bit deceiving i guess because Ratchet is in the foreground while Bumblebee is in the background. Forced perspective is going on slightly and making Ratchet look taller than Bee then he actually is.

Oh well. He still looks fairly big for a deluxe these days. A Voyager one would probably be really out of scale or a really small voyager.
You probably answered this in your review, but do the knives store somewhere in vehicle mode? Other than attached to his bumper I mean

Too small, that's disappointing but it looks ok figure-wise. I was hoping he'd fit in with my first editions because I am not getting those "imposter" versions of OP and Bulky. 
Thanks for sharing regardless Optibotimus.

The colors look mildly better here than in previous pics. It's a shame he's so small. I hope there's a voyager in the works, but if not I can probably settle for this one since Ratchet isn't one of my big favorites anyway.

Its a decent enough mold but it desperately needs some paint apps. Hopefully Takara gets it right.

I wonder if this would make a decent Classics Ratchet after a head swap with the Kreo Ratchet 
Any chance you have both Optibotimus?

I like it, but it definitely needs more red. I'll be getting it b/c it seems like a desired figure & I like it
I do hope we get a voyager one preferably the same height as bulkhead.

not bad but not great either, needs more paint a little remolding. Size wise though he actually looks deluxe size, unlike all the others in this line & DOTM.
