Has anyone noticed that ACToys websites Banner is with Matt's Lil Formers heads on it?

Ratchet looks quite accurate to the Cartoon one.

 

All kinds of bad ass. Facial expression looks sort of confused or something though. Maybe it's just the photo.

 

He looks like an old and weary 'bot to me.

Seems to fit.

 

thats the toy.

 

Safe bet that 'ee' is bumblebee. if they are doing an arcee figure, it probably wouldn't be this far along. this is probably the back of the blackarachnia card that Actoys had posted several weeks ago. maybe they'll zoom out and show the whole back. most likely this means that ratchet and blackA are the 2nd wave deluxes.

 

I'm not sure about that headsculpt.

I mean, it is a near perfect likeness, but I don't think I'm feeling that expression.

It's way more sad/confused than the crotchety/gruff I was hoping for...

All in all, still yet another awesome fig in the Animated line.

 

This is my own hunch, but I'm guessing that Soundwave will also be in wave 2, since we saw his prototype in the SDCC pics. Which would make Wave 2 2 'cons and one Autobot (along with Bumblebee, who I assume they'll ship in Wave 2 as well).

My other hunch is that wave 2 of the Voyagers will consist of Optimus Prime and Grimlock - again, because we know those figures are fairly far along.

 

You're getting the wrong impression then.

 

cool fig.

 

sahweet, finally

 

ditto on the facial expression. i'm obviously in the minority on this... but i'm not at all diggin this mold in the least (least favorite from animated series thus far). i'm hoping it will grow on me, but facial expression looks too ... uhmmm.... pathetic.... and the large cab front seems too much like a beer belly. which, yes, would fit an elderly "person" but not an experienced warrior bot. his legs and arms seem far too slender, and let's face it. the only real plus i see from this mold is the excessive amount of gear he comes with... yes, i said excessive. i'll probably end up losing at least one piece. i can't win.

ps. in regards to the "All in all, still yet another awesome fig in the Animated line." part on the quote.
your complaints and arguments go straight to null and void. you say you're not happy... stick with that! hasbro will continue to make sub-par figures with STUPID damn expressions on their faces, because they know *we'll still buy the product* it's like saying, oh well, i don't like this, but i'm still going to buy it anyway... why? uhmmm... because... because it's one i don't already have... and i'll get the repaint too... and then the third repaint... and than again when they release it for UNIVERSE. but i didn't like it the first time... but it was one i didn't already have... sound fair?

 

yeah, he should look grumpier.

 

Nice! consider him purchased

 

Totally rad!

 

I know its Arcee,why else would they put a pic of her
in the Animated Characters page on the main page,go
click on it,and she is the second one down from the top,
and tell me if thats not Arcee.

 

Probably look better if the head can tilt to face downward more.

 

hooked!

 

it's unlikely that its arcee. the 2nd wave would most likely have the 1st 4 figs plus 2 additional new ones. 'ee' has to be bumblebee; and the character list on main page is alphabetical, so arcee would be 2nd. if hasbro does an arcee, it probably wouldn't be till 2009 at the earliest.

 

his name should be beer gut rachet! lol

 

That is Ratchet.
