I have come to the conclusion that I really like this guy. Despite the lack of paint aps where it counts (no emergency markings anywhere), the robot mode is a lot of fun. Although limited by truck kipple on his calves. The blades look just like his cartoon ones when attached to his arms and he has excellent shoulder and arm articulation.

My Main concerns are general Prime concerns; small size, lack of paints, NO INSIGNIA!!!! His blades' plastic reminds me of gummy bears and makes me hungry they are that soft. Plus despite the large gaps in his backpack and calves, there is nowhere to store his blades when not in use in robot mode. Come on Hasbro, you can do better than this!! Just a slight change in a tab on his back and you would have the perfect spot. Oh and no backpack aerial...

Still, I do like it, partly due to the cartoon, and he can be posed in many Ratchety poses. I find the transformation slightly unsatisfying for some reason I haven't yet put my finger on... I would love to see a Masterpiece version, or a quality Voyager.
