Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Ratchet Packaging Art

Posted by Stargrave Jul 15, 2019 at 2:06pm CDT 28,320 views
Just located over at Snakasblog is an image of the new packaging art for Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Ratchet! We reported on Ratchet's robot mode reveal all the way back in June here along with Bluestreak. The current estimated arrival date is for the Christmas holiday season and he will be exclusive to Walgreens and also EB games in Canada.

No word yet on an exchangeable set of Pharma hands but he does appear to come with a weapon very similar to his G1 incarnation. Will you be picking up this current version of the most iconic of all Transformer medics?

As always enjoy the images and share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forum, and stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest in Transformers news!

And unfortunately this is late I should have added it to the main article but here is the translated text from Snakasblog:
"Ratchet has been added to the character introduction column of Siege on Hasbro's TF official site.

The other characters of wave 3 have been added, but at the moment the only official character for which no official information is available is Ratchet.

What has been published is processed package illustrations, and when you click on it, some data will be displayed, but specific product information has not been posted.

The store registration information is considered to be a Walgreen limited product, but the details are unknown because the official information issued by the maker is not available at this time.

So far, illustrations have been posted on TCG cards, and there are 1 images in popular robot mode.

In this illustration, you can confirm that the attached weapon can be connected to the main unit with the arm.

The image below. Other than the first one, it is listed again in the past."

Welcome news.

Now if we could start getting some "mini-bots," this would feel like a complete thing.

I would bet serious money that minibots will be a major feature in one of the next two WfC waves, probably the very next one. With SDCC this week, I'm betting we'll see them in just a few days.

It’s possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the combiner micromasters next. Those guys that combine to make one vehicle. I had a slew of those but I also wonder if they’ll bring back the legends class so they could make the minibots since they’re absent. I’m sure quite a few would like to see bumblebee, Huffer, gears, pipes and others done with some siege-like articulation.

Well, Titans Return gave us a decent Bumblebee. Cliffjumper, Huffer, Gears, Pipes, and Swerve on the other hand we definitely still need. Not to mention the Throttlebots.
They could also give the Minibots the same treatmewnt as Reflector - sold as Deluxes with accessories to make up the difference.

True but by the time the second part WFC kicks off some of those toys are gonna be 4-5 years old by then and look at the insecticons. We just completed them and one of them popped up on a fan vote a few weeks ago. I think if they have the opportunity do it they will

The partsforming connection is what has me thinking it might be Overlord. And hey, one of Overlord's components is a tank, and he has a base mode..


Hey, it's true that the Black Shadow / Overlord mold could be retooled into Tidal Wave.
I'd be all over that. :x

That's Leader-class, not Commander class


Exactly. It would be a great toy by itself and would scale well with Legend/Légion bots.

Having a brand new Tidal Wave mold, not a retool, in Commander Class would be perfection.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

At first I didn't like that Ratchet was a straight redeco, but I'm kinda warming up to it. I still think the chest doesn't look right, but whatever.

Also, didn't we get an acceptable Gears and Swerve from Generations?

Didn’t we get an acceptable Chromia in generations thrilling 30? Astrotrain in titans return? Springer in thrilling 30? If they wanna do it they will

He's more than a simple headswap, he's a reshelling of Ironhide:

It's kinda hard to see with the white, but the shoulders, hands, waist and leg panels are different. Crosshairs is the straight redeco here... minus the head ;)

I'd say so. Don't forget Cosmos!

They already did those last two. They were called Titans Return Astrotrain and Thrilling 30 Sandstorm.


Irrelevant to SIEGE. Especially in light of the recent SIEGE Springer. The idea is to give these bots Cybertronian altmodes, something those I mentioned have never had before.

Sandstorm is an osprey and a dune buggy. That's not very Cybertronian. TR Astrotrain was halfway there. As the train didn't look Earth based. The space shuttle mode still was though.

1) Ospreys have rotors, not futuristic turbines.

2) TR Astrotrain's shuttle mode looks nothing like a terrestrial space shuttle, while WFC Astrotrain's shuttle mode is much closer to
Earth style.

That doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as easy as head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes) does...

But I'm singing it anyway.

THANK YOU.
And T30 Sandstorm's dune buggy one doesn't look Earthly either, so...

Swerve, maybe. Gears and that stupid tiny tiny head? NO.
