We need a faceplate for that expression D:
Can you use Ironhide's open mouth face and colour in the eyes?
They definitely should have included a dying face!
And torso.Quote:

Looks a bit plain. Too much white. Definately needs stickers on the shoulders. And, like Ironhide, comes across as being a bit tall and lanky. Still a welcome addition to the MP range though.
The addition of Ironhide/Ratchet and Hot Rod is just what the Masterpiece line needed. I was starting to get bored of the voyager sized cars. Now there's a lot of variation.
I like him a lot -- particularly since I skipped Ironhide -- but I do hope that the slash above his nose/between his eyes isn't a a QC issue affecting the whole run:

That gap doesn't seem to be in the pic with his smiling/happy face so you could always use that. :)Quote:

Yeah, I prefer the happy face -- it just seems more Ratchet. :)Quote:

That said, I don't see it in this pic from Toy Dojo or at the very least it's not that noticeable from a distance:

It is a valid opinion though, and to me it could be worse with unpainted plastic white like Wheeljack.Quote:

Nope. Not 'Internet sarcasm'. I'm for real.Quote:

Sneaky indeed..I'll definitely be cutting the stickers so that a proper red cross is applied like the cartoon.
The Chosen Prime have their review up:

Looks like the default face doesn't have the cut out of it, which is a relief!
So we are feeling a figure is too white when the original characters are well pretty much all white... This is crazy like saying he looks too much like an ambulance or too g1 / toon looking :eek::cool:
Don't stress about it mate....everything will be all white.:DQuote:

Charles is back for another toy review! Looks like he's experienced paint chipping on Ratchet during transformation -- did that happen with Ironhide? Or is Takara just crap at white paint application a la Ramjet?
I am a bit surprised that he actually criticise the paint job this time as he was quite bias in quite a fair few of his reviews on other toys. Have to give thumbs up again for an honest review this time round.Quote:

He's pretty great! I love the tinted windows, looks very medicinal if not quite realistic. Both face sculpts are good, and his face stays securely in place better than Ironhide. Ratchet was definitely blessed with a better looking crotch as well! Cutting out the stickers was easy, though they're a bit thicker than i'd like, they're glossy and look good once they're on.
Slowly filling out the gaps... Wheeljack looks like he finally has some good company now!
I tend not to watch his reviews, but found it interesting about the paint chipping as i've not heard about it with Ironhide.Quote:

I suppose on the plus side, it does give a bit of depth to the whiteness of his shoulders -- but i'll definitely be leaving mine blank when I get my copy.
Hmm Alfes left a stack of white edge which would always look bad. I cut mine right up to the red so it's not nearly as noticeable. Only certain angles where the light hits it will you notice they're not tampo'd
I've noticed a few shots where others have left the whitespace as well -- probably not comfortable with cutting that close to the red (my scissor skills are horrible, so I can relate! :p).Quote:

There's no issue.Quote:

It just depends if you want to look at a ratchet joint in the shoulder or not.

That's all it is.
Ratchet's is the clean look, Ironhide's isn't.
Got 5 minutes to kill? Knock yourselves out ;)
Ah my bad not an issue.Quote:

According to the labels inside each piece, Ironhide is the one that's correct... but the way they are on Ratchet clearly looks better! Anyway i switched my Ironhide's shoulders around, a quick 5 minute fix (no pins!)... and not only does it look better, but now their shoulders can square up which they couldn't do before.
