I don't really care about HA Ratchet at this point either. What's up with the combiner artwork?

 

Yeah, Voyager Ratchet doesn't have enough room to fit a human in there in vehicle mode without some significant remolding in that area, which that concept clearly doesn't have.

 

looks like they gave ratchet a new left hand too....

 

Quoting for drive-the-point-home (even though it won't take)

 

man that vayager ss looks so weired

 

anyone else notice "The Beast" in the upper right corner of the pages with sixtrain?

I wonder what those gessults are for exactly... could they possibly be concept are for whats after the movie line for this year? Also here is hoping that one is computron since the torso looks like a cybertronian gunship  

 

I think the HA Ratchet is just a test figure for HA figures.
Ratchet is the only figure I can think of off the top of my head that has opening doors.

 

bingo.

 

The HA Ratchet's right shoulder looks huge and even though it's cropped kind of looks like he'll have a gimp left arm too.

 

Screw Ratchet, I want that Protoform Optimus Prime!

 

I missed that news.

Tracks w/ Raoul?  

 

it's not HA Ratchet
it's just a concept prototype made by TakaraTomy stuff and was using to HA series study present in TakaraTomy(according to the sidenote of those pics)

 

yeah, people are gonna ignore you (and everyone else) and still think that it will be released.

 

I still say they could take Shia's HA mold and just repaint it into the appropriate colors and he'd easily pass as Leo.

But yeah, Tracks or Swerve are the most likely choices, though I hadn't heard of this news either until now.

 

Erg. Ratchet is kind of a bad choice. Really, Jolt w/ Lennox or Sideways w/ Alice would have worked better.

 

HA Ratchet becomes the first HA Fail. I hope those are just concept images or something, and that's not at all what they end up going with. The only good news about that is that it looks like one arm is new, suggesting a screen accurate gun.

The new pic of Alternity BB from the different angle is nice. I still like that figure quite a bit despite all the hate being tossed at it.

 

Another day, another thread of epic reading failures.  

The Ratchet Concepts not bad actually, looks like they wanted to give it new arms as well, probably to include seats that way. Gotta say though, I don' like the whole weapon transforming into a weapion thing, especially as a massive missile box looks completely out of place on an ambulance.  

On the bright side, if they were experimenting with a Ratchet remould but abandoned it then maybe they went a little further and did a whole new mould. Seems unlikley but who knows, we certainly didn't predict a whole car + figure subline or that there would be four leaders this time around.

 

And complain about it.

 

You've got to be fucking kidding me. I figured people would ignore the "it's just a concept" posts, but I didnt think it'd be RIGHT AFTER a post stating that it was just a concept model, nothing more.

RATCHET IS A CONCEPT MOCK-UP. NOTHING MORE. IT WILL NOT BE MADE.

Same as the protoform prime, movie 1 starscream, and barricade figures shown there, just concept mock-ups of the mech alive gimmick.

READING THE TOPIC WORKS WONDERS

 

BETTER WAIT FOR THE DELUXE RATCHET... PERFECT ROBOT MODE!
