TFTM '07 - Voyager Ratchet

Don't worry man there will be enough for everyone. Its just that since the movie premiered recently, the toys are flying off shelves. If this helps, Ratchet tends to be the shelfwarmer(which is ironic considering he is one of the best figures). Don't let that neon green turn you off folks, this toy is a winner! Sure as heck surprised me(I originally had no intention of buying it).

His face is actually very similar to Beast Machines Optimus Primal. Then he's got a funky helmet over top of it. It's kinda hard to see on the toy, though, because his lips aren't painted silver like they are on the box art.

Good,I give it a 9/10.I highly recomened.

just got him after much hesitation. the quality of the design makes me overlook the poor color choice - they cant even match the colored plastics properly. things i like, the battle axe, the overall proportions, things i dont like, the redundant automorph gimmick with the lower legs.

Just got him, opened, and transformed him.

I am so beyond impressed. Probably my second favorite Voyager (SS is still number 1).

Just all in all awesome. Nice size and bulk, fun and simple transformation with some cool moves and such. Looks nice.

Very recommended.

I have to admit that at first I wasn't too impressed. After getting the voyager-class of Prime, Ironhide and Starscream, I was expecting something "unique" as well with Ratchet. Well, I was somewhat disappointed.....

But what got me posting about Ratchet is when I figured out how posable he can be! His legs (and "ankles") allow for dynamic poses!

If you're looking for something simple to tinker around your office table or desk, Ratchet is a good one.

Had him for awhile and still think he's one of the best TFTM figures there are.

So solid, gimmick does'nt get in the way (is hardly noticeable anyway) and can pull off some killer poses. Only drawback is I wish his arms were a little larger, but otherwise he's the best voyager IMO (dont like the colors though)

Actually the head sculptor and paint are quite accurate for the movie figure.

I got him tday, has anyone had the problem with his waist not clipping in? I've seen pics where it's supposed to clip in, but mine won't and it looks impossible with the mold

Edit: nevermind, I used my Xacto knife to make a slope so it'll slip in easier. Now that I have him in robot mode, he is probably in the middle for me, even lower than Jazz(which I love), though this is in no way a bad figure

He is easily my least favorite movie figure. Way too bulky, too big, the legs are terrible: too long, too blocky and bulky, to simplistic looking for the movie aesthetic, the automorph gimmick is beyond pathetic (not even worth what little effort was put into designing it), and to top things off the back door/bumper things get in the way of the knee joints.. Upper part of the body/ front part of the truck is fine and dandy (aside from the color on the doors not matching up). Hate his capture claw thing too; the cargo rack that forms it falls off his vehicle mode way too easily (taking his crude looking light bar with it!). His pull out ax is really neat, though.
I really wish they would take another crack at this figure; make him a LOT less bulky (and hell, maybe throw in his buzzsaw weapon from the movie for good measure). Hell, I wouldn't mind if he was done as a deluxe this time around, so long as they were able to trim the fat (seeing as how its pretty unlikely for them to do another voyager for him).
