Ratchet was on the show?? *googles* And he wasn’t voiced by Jefferey Combs?? Was this the same continuity as the previous Rescue Bots?
He's meant to be based on the Cyberverse Ratchet, just like how Bumblebee,Perceptor and the horrific looking Optimus Prime were all based on their Cyberverse designs instead of their Rescue Bots/Prime designs
Ratchet (WFC) - Transformers Wiki rescue bots academy is in the same continuity as rescue bots and prime so its prime ratchet but not voiced by jeffrey combs. none of the returning characters were voiced by their original prime/rb actors. they used the same voice acting pool as cyberverse so rba optimus and bumblebee have the same voice actors as cyberverse optimus and bumblebee. and some of the art shares the evergreen design. but theyre not cyberverse theyre still prime/rb continuity.
It's neat to see new tooling still being done for this line. Wish we could get a Rescan-sized car Medix from the Bumblebee mold and a reissue of boat Hot Shot.
Now out in Australia... Ratchet. Which was a real surprise. (also shows five of the 6 toys in that master carton wave, as Ratchet should be the only new one, but one toy was already gone) The interesting thing to notice with this RB Ambulance mold, is that each of its three different uses had a different head.
Yep, Ratchet and the new Heatwave jet. At this point, I don't have much hope that they'll see a U.S. release, though. Same with the Dinobot Adventures mini dinos. I figure we would have seen them up on HTS eBay or major online stores by now if we were going to get them. MIKE engledogg
I hate to admit it, but I’m a big Rescue Bots fanboy. They’re everything robotics and our future should be about; hyper advanced tech devoted to safety and seamlessly integrated into a small walkable town with a Main Street and a traditional drive-in. Also they’re cute without feeling “not like Transformers” (they do occasionally touch on serious issues; one of the episodes has Whirl freaking out about how humans in strange towns would view alien rescue workers, including explicitly mentioning “pitchforks.”) Est 1989 so I didn’t even come close to growing up with them.
Me (months ago) There’s a Rescue Bots Ratchet?! Hopefully it comes to the US. Me (today): Welcome to the family! I hope your trip from the UK was without incident! (unfortunately the vehicle rear doesn’t tab together so I’m not sure how to make it look good)
The back of the vehicle mode not closing just right has always been an issue with that mold. Entertainment Earth has listings for the two RB waves containing Ratchet, Optimus Primal and new Grimlock, so I'm holding out hope that they'll be found at retail.
I'll have to start checking Walgreens when I'm out, my local Walmarts and Targets don't seem to carry Rescue Bots anymore.
