Color Pics of Henkei Ratchet

Yeah, definitely looks flat. It's that ugly milky white that's been used.

Those photo's are terrible, hopefully we'll see better pics of him in future. Truth be told though if it weren't for the fact they were a remake of Ironhide and Ratchet that'd be a pretty crap mould.

I have to agree. I think the mold looks quite disappointing... a bit too jigsaw puzzle.

Folks at Seibertron are suggesting that it must be Universe Ratchet instead, which would make more sense, especially in light of the fact that the siren matches Universe Prowl, not Henkei Prowl.

considering how nice henkei prowl looks (just the plastic even) I'm banking on this being the universe release

I'd say that it is the Hasbro version too, there is a distinct lack of chrome, and the Allspark blue windows are much more Hasbro than Takara.

He doesn't look as panel-y as Ironhide, but the two distinct shades of white paint are not at all appealing.

Yeah it screams Hasbro. TakTom and Japanese retailers hava a tendency to use Hasbro pics as placeholders until they get their redecos finalized.

like Ironhide, maybe the only chrome on Ratchet is his gun? *shrugs*

Desregarding the Hasbro or Takara versioning, I still like the look of this..

I'm hoping they're just prototype colours and that the final product will look better. They're not terrible colours... just not what I think most people would be expecting - i.e. more show or toy accurate colours. This toy appears to have a white head with a red crest. G1 Ratchet had a white head with a grey crest in the cartoon and a red head with a white crest in the comics.
