Dotm Wave 7 Figures?

With the first movie, Hasbro definitely would have had final say... but by the time the third one was being signed up, and paramount and Hasbro were grovelling to get Bay on board, all power may have been given to him instead by then. The amount of money Hasbro were making off the Movies, they would have done anything to keep the money rolling in, and would have just trusted that he wouldn't do anything irreversible or damaging to the brand, possibly giving him free reign and final (or even total) control.

In which case it would still be Hasbro's fault for giving Bay that much uncontested absolute power. (-_-)

Aww man there's going to be a White Ratchet? I just bought Specialist Ratchet like an hour ago. Ah well, guess I could get it. That mold is so damn good.

Specialist Ratchet is based on the colours they were going to use for movie Ratchet before changing their minds and making him green.

A white Ratchet is nothing new, we've had plenty of Rescue Ratchets before.
Legends Rescue Ratchet
Voyager Rescue Ratchet
FAB Rescue Ratchet*
Titanium Series Rescue Ratchet*
Deluxe Rescue Ratchet

Also, you can see "Rescue Ratchet"** in the first Transformers movie - in the scene where Lennox and his men touch down in the U.S. and are intercepted by Sector 7, in the background of their airfield you can see "Rescue Ratchet"

*not sure if these came out in Australia - I personally don't recall seeing them
**Okay, it's not really Ratchet but rather an identical vehicle to his alt mode in the same colours/deco as Rescue Ratchet! Still, a neat little nod to Ratchet's G1 colours placed in the film.

I may have missed something but can anyone tell me if they are making a leader class Megatron and Shockwave, as they are lacking leader class Decepticons.

This was rumoured but nothing ever eventuated, at least yet anyway.
I'd love the pair but something tells me the budget would more likely go towards 30 more Primes and BBs before it's ever considered... Yay for over saturation.
