Arcee revealed on the back seems to be a new mold with new weapons. All the new pictures of the Deluxe figures seem to show that the new toys are all smaller than their First Edition counterparts -much like DOTM toys were smaller than ROTF.

Three cheers for sparsely painted alt modes, am I right guys?

I share your sentiment dude, I'm concerned as to what sacrifices have been made in order for Arcee to have that whopping cannon though. :(

Love it, definitely quickly reinforcing my need to get a Wave 2 carton from RK.

Hmm, not sure if it's my monitor or what, but looking at those colours, I think of twisties for some reason. Or perhaps tomato flavoured chips. I like the mould, I like Ratchet. I hate the paint job. Lacklustre.

While it doesn't have some ridiculously large weapon necessitating less plastic go onto the actual toy, like mainline Cliffjumper, it breaks three of my cardinal rules for Transformers

- Fake vehicle parts on robot mode (chest windows)
- Opaque painted windows
- Sparse and rubbish vehicle mode paint

So so much pass.

Do not like the vehicle mode at all but I do quite like how the robot mode looks, if I do get him, that's how I'll be displaying him :)

Once again i will wait for Taktoms version which will hopefully have more paint apps and have the metallic paint which i love.

I'm not really seeing why everyone else hates the paint job. Ratchet is red and white. Looks cool. The only thing I'm annoyed at is the blades can only be held like swords, not the massive battle scalpels they were in the cartoon.

*Edit- Oh, no, he can hold them cartoon style. Sweet.- Still annoyed at the fist editions being cancelled though.*

My problem lies with the shade of red. It looks like he's spilled tomato sauce on himself.

Where are his emergency lights supposed to be? And since I am whinging about petty things, I really wanted his little backpack aerial in robot mode....
