Definitely a metallic green. The yellow lettering and reflective stripes on the door are a good reference. I believe that @erwinsims talked to the guy that painted the actual film vehicles. He could give you a better idea of the color.

 

Turned out ok. I just hope he doesn't suffer from the truck MPM curse.

 

it is Lime custard by House of colors,
I have indeed talked with the guy that build the movie cars, he gave me the paint color.. I used it on my custom.

 

I am very excited for the final 2007 Autobot. The MPs are so frequently mistransformed in photos so I am not too worried about the shoulders just yet. The only concern I have is the color. Since they got Bumblebee's yellow wrong, I hope Ratchet's coloration does not draw attention to Bumblebee in a negative way. Still, that's really a minor nitpicky concern.

 

Aside from what @artimus prime said, my fiancee has an amazing eye for color (we are both designers) and she says green.

 

Making a note of this now to cover up all the bare plastic this figure will have

 

I'm almost finished, in the meantime...
Having analyzed the transformation in the stop motion video, i love the fact that this guy has almost no faux parts, even the doors end at the right spot, and i love the fact that they're finally collapsing most of the sides of the vehicle in one single panel.

Not gonna lie, i thought they were the real vehicles.

 

Sorry to be a stickler for details mpm 11 dose not have the “search and rescue” on the hood and the side stripes + heart rhythm are smaller on the mpm.

but im still getting mpm11

 

Well, that was a clusterfuck, and i thought the vehicle mode would be hard.

 

Now THAT’S much better! If they ever did that officially I’d buy it immediately!

You did really awesome on this!

 

The mold looks so much better in these colors  

 

Imo and repeating in my opinion
No thanks

but im sure they will milk the mold and do it in these colours (they will be idiots not to use the mold again) it is the same with mpm 10 rotf starscream.

so do not give up hope ratchet dotm colour fans

 

I have to agree here.. they would be throwing away money if they did not use the mold for the DOTM repaint.. heck even a AOE repaint (weathered and dirty DOTM version) would sell like hot cakes.

 

oh shit i thought they were real vehicles too until i read your post  

 

pre order up at action robo they are usually priced well. its just for a $10 pre order

* PRE-ORDER * Hasbro Transformer Masterpiece Movie Series MPM-11 Ratchet ( $10 DEPOSIT )

 

Legit for real, if Hasbro DID release MPM Ratchet in DOTM colors I’d finally have found the definitive Ratchet figure for my collection!

 

I bought Jazz and Megatron from TCP today for $200 after coupons and overpaying a creditcard statement, and won an auction for Barricade for $50 shipped. I now have every mpm (besides bee movie). Ratchet is going to be magical to open up. Is starscream September, and Ratchet October?

 

So why exactly are some retailers adding on $80 for Ratchet? Target has their pre order for $120 where as ChosenPrime and I’m assuming the rest have him for $200. That’s a pretty big difference.

 

You should see the price differences of the Netflix Walmart Siege exclusives. $90 for Siege Megs and some Targetmasters, lmao. My guess is they also have to order from Target. That would explain the prices for other exclusives and the sudden "sold out" that happens every time these things open up online.

I'm going to press my luck and hunt for Ratchet in-person, then give up a month later and try to find it online.

 

As much as I love TCP... I’m not paying $80 extra for this. Preorder placed with target. Hopefully it works out well.
