Toy Review - JP MP-30 Ratchet

[MrTrick]

What sticker combo did everyone else use for ratchet's shoulders?

I'm waiting to see what Reprolabels make for Ratchet, if it doesn't add too much detail then I'll probably just cut the original labels to get the nice red cross.

also like GoktimusPrime i'm on the waiting for shipping notification boat

Im going to leave my shoulders blank - partially because they were sometimes like that in the almighty G1, but also because I suffer from indecisive sticker paralysis syndrome. Too many choices!

My bumper had a bit of chrome scratching. At this point they're so close to toon accuracy that these little remaining toy details are a distraction. No more half measures please.

Still a cool dude. Seems like a good candidate for Hasbro to release? But who knows.

Got mine on the weekend (thanks Drifand!). Much like Ironhide, the transformation is great, and he seems to stand out quite prominently amongst the Autobots...maybe because of all of that bright white Mine had some white paint wear/scratching near the top of van, but the chrome is fine.

As you can see, I took a scalpel to the red cross stickers. It's doable for the large and medium size crosses, but the tiny crosses which go on the skirts of the van are near impossible to cut (I ended up ruining mine) and I had to resort to the Autobot crosses instead. No biggie, just a minor irratance directed at copyright laws

This was meant to be a reference to the Rod of Asclepius, but I forgot that it's only meant to have one snake, not two (Mercury's Rod has two snakes). Gah.
