    Interesting. Wasn't expecting Ratchet's look to change. Should be interesting to see what his bot-mode looks like, and what the covered-up bits look like. I'm going to wait to get a better look at him, and what this change will mean for his role in TF3, before forming an opinion about it.

    I live in Valencia Ca, and I have seen a couple of Ironhide lookalikes on the weekends. They have everything down to the logo on the back of the truck, thats why I love LA.

    Maybe those were the real cars megabot, the way you can tell is with the back bumper and the mirrors. The movie cars have the small mirrors but the one GM sells comes with those truck like elongated mirrors.

    Think i'd actually buy that.

    On topic, apart from the fact they wouldn't want joe public thinking that ratchet was a real emergency vehicle, why would they want to cover up his insignia's et al. I mean it's not that you can't tell who prime is

    I hope he has changed if only because it might just offer an excuse to make a new mold toy of the character.

    I really would like to see 'Ultra' Ironhide & 'Ultra' Ratchet. being slightly bigger and then putting some small light up feature in the guns... perhaps when the guns store they can light the vehicle lights up. nothing as in your face as Onlaughts electronics. small and non-obtrusive with enthesis on the mold quality not thrilling Target & Walmart reps with -look it lights up stuff.

    Ratchet whas allready green. Flourescent green, wich is the green closest to yellow. It really depends on how its lit.

    The thing here though is that it's white and green. A middle ground between G1 white and Movie green.

    His robot mode CGI model whas getting an spruce-up to look more heroic (I boggle how that is possible since Prime is pretty much perfect, but I suspect its mostly finetuning the fiddle and making it more easy to work with and maybe slightly change proportions). Bumblebee whas going to look more mature.

    All signs point to the third one being set quite later than ROTF.

    And why russian planes/tanks have to be Decepticons? Why can they be good guys? The Cold War is over, there´s no need to go down that routte again.

    No need to be defensive, the decepticons in the 1st film were mostly U.S millitary vehicles....

    Really? Pure green rescue vehicles? I've seen ambulances with green detailing (dark and Ratchet-style-neon green), but not pure green. I would love to see some pictures, mainly so I can have a good chuckle at everyone who were going "WHAAAH RESCUE VEHICLES ARNT GREEN WARGH".

    Yeah, a lot of our fire engines have been the same yellow-green as Ratchet for years. As a kid it was a favorite game of mine to see what color the fire engines were when we passed a firehouse.
