    Only if he has a repaint. He is poor in both modes(panel former in robot mode, off proprtions compared to the movie, and robot parts scrape ground in vehicle mode), and has almost zero paint apps. Still, He wll be more in scale...

    I can't wait, my Movie Bots need a medic :)  If there's a Rescue Ratchet deco, I'd welcome it too.

    Same, Ratchet is (amazingly) the only Movie on-screen autobot from the first film I do not have in some form or another (ROTF Legends doesn't count since it's so ugly I made it into Movie First Aid instead). The Deluxe puts him more towards my prefered price range, and the gimick of the EMP cannon is also a plus.

    I'm all over it. Like the character (he's underused) but have fiddled with the Voyager toy and really dislike it. Even if it's only AS good as the Voyager, it's $10 cheaper and won't tower over, say, Bludgeon.

    I may consider getting him. If I can't find a 2007 Movie Voyager Ratchet or his Rescue redeco by the time this toy comes out, then I'm gonna have to get the deluxe version. My only concern is that this guy could have a lot of back kibble.

    I'm a sucker for deluxes, or anything I see, so yeah. Besides, my voyager Ratchet need a son to play catch with.

    I'll definitely be picking up Deluxe Ratchet. He looks pretty cool to me. He'll make a good replacement for the voyager version and takes up less space on my shelf.

    I'm interested in it. The deluxe robot looks better to me than the voyager. I can forgive the less accurate vehicle mode. My only concern is it's scale; hopefully deluxe ratchet turns out to be a large deluxe.

    I'll have to wait to see it in stores. It's a maybe, maybe not for me. Haven't been very in to the movie toys anymore.

    Deluxe Ratchet will be perfect as I plan on having a separate shelf for TFTM and ROTF, and I'd need each character for both shelves. This is a cheaper and etter alternative to the yucky Desert Voyager.

    I plan on getting him. If they did a scaled-down Ironhide, I'd be up for that, as well. I mean, we have a Voyager Optimus, Ratchet will be right in scale with him, I think. If they made a habit of scaling down these guys, then the Leader-Class could be reserved for the real bruisers..

    I'm fond of the Voyager mold, but once the Deleuxe one hits pegs I'll be searching like crazy for it & replacing the Voyager with it on my display.

    I might get him. I'd like to get a smaller Ironhide to so that way I can just use Voyager Prime to display with them as I think Leader Prime is a little too big

    I'm undecided. I like the Voyager figure just fine and I'm trying to avoid buying the same character in multiple size classes. But it is a new mold and I like to have one version of every main line mold. It'll probably depend on my mood when it comes out.

    I need two things to decide whether I want him or not.

    1) More pics, preferably a tfw review

    2) A red and white repaint

    I like the Voyager Ratchet mold, but the deluxe is different enough to make the two completely different characters. All they need is different colors and maybe a different head. And I'd prefer a deluxe rescue ratchet over the voyager version's red and white paint job. Though if either one of em was redone in red and called Red Alert I'd be all over it.

    I'm excited for him, and will indeed pick him up.
