Put simply, Hasbro ruined a fairly decent toy by making this monstrocity.

This should have been the mould release they do later of a mould, giving it a new head and colour, and making it a new character... as it doesn't feel like Ratchet, even a tiniest bit. Giving it a completely new head and completely resculpted, this toy should have been called Dinobot, and Ratchet should have been released with a Ratchet head and Ratchet colours.

On the plus side, he has more paint now...

I'll be doing exactly what you said Hasbro should have done Griffin. This will be my Dinobots toy and that's what I'll call him.

BH is kinda turning out to be like "Transformers Prime: Generation 2."

I feel this way about quite a few of the BH figures. Typical we have these turning up on our shelves yet so many excellent Generations figures are slated to never reach our shores

I like G2... However I was 10 when it was on sale.

Having sad that, I have bought Ratchet but it will be staying sealed.

With all them swirly bits he looks like he's made of ice-cream. No, frozen yogurt.

Admittedly I only got this coz BBTS was selling Skystalker beast as a three pack with Ratchet and Dreadwing - Ive opened and played with the beast but will keep Ratchet and Dreadwing sealed - they shall end as gifts to my godchild . Im trying to brainwash the kid slowly into collecting TFs hehehe. Started him 4 years ago and everytime I give him a gift on special occasions (bday, Xmas) it's a TF or TF related stuff..... but for me... I don't like this figure at all which is why it's easy for me to just give him away :P
