Just like G1 molds of Ratchet and Ironhide being the same, so it a nice fitting to this time around having the same thing happen again. This time in the Universe line, so I'm looking forward as well for Ratchet. Hell yeah!
Well one thing I really like about this figure. Is the single piece head crest. I dunno how I like the top bottom proportions though. I SMELL A REDCROSS LAW SUIT ^.^ hehehe
Probably an inversed cross LOL!!!!!!!! Just a shout out I didnt mean to start so much crap a few pages ago,I like hasbro to especially there masterpiece starscream is better. Ive been playing to many mmos.........I reall dont even think Ill buy this. Save my money for ANIMATED SHOCKWAVE BABY! God if animtade shockwave is as good as I hope it will be my transformers crown jewl. Besides I never said hasbro sucks, I just prefer henkei in this range, it was turned into I said hasbro sucks which I didnt say, it was turned into that. I think there both good companys in there only little ways like hasbros bringing us animated, while takara is bringing henkei and encore.
My, you guys ought to see a doctor about that cough, it seems to be catching. I'm thinking he might have the "lifesign" line like on Movie and Animated Ratchet. That seems to be his symbol now.
It wasn't completely clear to me if they'll still be in TFU packaging or switch to different 25th Anniversary packaging, but I'd bet Hound w/ Ravage and/or Cyclonus w/ Nightstick will share a wave with Ratchet. Methinks you've missed a few posts in this thread. Agreed. Heck, I wanna see a redeco in the Movie color scheme. *COUGH*ALSO, NEW HEAD MOLD BEING USED FOR TAKARA RATCHET. NO WAY FUN PUB WOULD SHARE NEW TOOLING. NO NEW MOLDING DONE FOR THUNDERCRACKER. YOU DON'T SEE A HENKEI THRUST, DO YOU?*WHEEZE* For Soundwave, at least, Hasbro has stated several times that they've done a Classics release -- the reissue. EDIT: Apparently so.
Love the design, but really hope they go toon accurate and not comic accurate. White head, black crest, not red head, white crest. That's about the only thing that could make or break this to me. And yes both ratchet and ironhide we will be seeing in classics. The idea was to use molds that could be repeated with minor mods, and those two are givens, as are the lambo brothers. Not to mention Prowl already broke that rule for the same reason. (Smokescreen, silverstreak, etc) The idea behind no repeat bots would be more like don't expect a BA anytime soon in universe, or blitzwing maybe, etc. Even the redone seekers in henkei have enough differences that it's not the same mold or colors as the botcon ones, so what hasbro has stated still stands.
Funny, I'm the exact opposite. It's not that I don't like the white head/grey crest, it's just that the red head and white crest offered that additional uniformity and extra bit of colour that I would love to see again. Even if it's not red and white I may just repaint it proper myself.
It's nice to see someone else that interrupted the rule the same way I did. This "rule" (which I don't like to call it that.) seems to be the most misunderstood thing Hasbro has said in long time. The fact that Ratchet is being made seems to back up that was the exact intent of it. And besides even if that rule did mean what so many seem to think it does....Rules have always been meant to be broken. And I'm with you on Jazz. How are my 84 guys going to be compelete without Jazz?
