I hope we get a Bumblebee in the Siege line; it really does feel weird to not have one; I'd want one in this line, but not if it's the same old, same old.
Not this

This

 

Man Ratchet would look way better with subtle wash/panel lines.

And I mean wash, not paint spatter battle damage.

Silverstreak looks great.

 

Finally a G1 Ratchet for my Classics shelf and he looks amazing and considering how Ironhide is one of my favorite Transformers of the year looks like Ratchet will be too    My only issue is that he is a Walgreens exclusive, they are always a pain to obtain.

Also that Bluestreak looks amazing too, and yet another character I was missing from my Classics shelf.

 

Ratchet looks good but I feel like he needs a lot more weathering to break up all that white. Or maybe a bit more red. Bluestreak looks decent but I\'ve never cared about the character. I always thought he and Smokescreen should\'ve swapped names.

 

So are these from siege or generation selsst

 

It's cool to see Bluestreak get a new figure, but the real highlight here for me is Ratchet. He must be represented in my collection.

Any idea when he comes out?

 

I always found it funny that "Smoke"screen's bot mode is blue and "Blue"streak's bot mode is gray and its even more pronounced on the Siege versions.

I think they both grabbed the wrong uniform before going to work.
Those crazy G1 designers!

 

We can render that judgment after they produce a Blue Bluesteak and Alternators-deco Smokescreen.

 

I\'m glad to finally have a Ratchet, and will absolutely be getting it, but the deco does look very boring.

 

Given Ratchet is another bloody "exclusive" anyone have any tips on how foreign devils such as myself can get a hold of it?
Are there are any options at all?

 

Ratchet is Siege, Bluestreak is Siege 35th Anniversary.

 

For me, this line is really hit or miss. Just don't find either of these molds to be that dynamic.

 

Robotkingdom. They usually have exclusives. Even Walgreens one. They’re Chinese based and that’s their market so you have to accept paying $20-$30 for shipping but that’s the price to go through them but they will carry him and will ship anywhere

 

Ratchet needs a better application of colors like the G1 character.
Red hands and waist please.  

 

Ok, even though Ratchet\'s color palette is 90% white with red highlights, it looks way better to me than Ironhide\'s.

 

ratchet looks.....awful.

so plain and boring.

 

I want to love Ratchet but I'm just not feeling the deco. Maybe some more red and/or a few black accents would have made it work better but as it is he looks bland to me. The deco on Bluestreak, on the other hand, looks pretty great. The proportions of the mold are still weird to me but they nailed the coloration.

 

Ratchet's a different pic to the one that appeared blurred a couple of weeks back - Siege Ratchet listed In walgreens system - but it's the same toy in both pictures.

 

Looking great

 

Wow. The shoulders yeah, but I didn’t notice the legs and crotch. Good eye.
