Review - Animated Cybertron Mode Ratchet

[liegeprime]

meh not really a fan of the cyb mode. Im ok with earthmode ratchet. Wish they just made this an ironhide character instead. Would buy it if it was. Pass for me

Ratchet's been working out. It is clear that unlike the Earth mode, they clearly had Ironhide in mind when developing this new mould. Ironhide is going to be GREAT. Surprised that Ratchet doesn't look too bad with this new body though.

OMG OMG OMG OMG....

Awesome review Kyle, I wont bite just yet at those expensive prices, but I will most definately be picking these new animated releases up to keep the animated torch alive in my collection. Thanks for review brother.

Interesting to see that this is packaged in robot mode. I guess the vehicle mode looked too alien?

Looks like it's got a bit too much height as well possibly.

I gotta say I love this toy. But then I love animated Ratchet. Grumpy old bugger that he is.

Comparing the two made me like him even more. Cyb has a smile on his dial, less lines and a buff chest. He also is a little smaller. Earth has a paunchy stomach, bags under his eyes, tired looking mouth and is a little taller. The effect of the two next to each other really shows the age difference IMO. Awesome stuff.

The Packer Whackers are a nice touch and can be stored nicely in vehicle mode and if you dont move his legs back they can stay there for robot mode.

Must buy!

I wonder if they'll keep the same accessories for the Ironhide toy.
Not that I'm complaining. I'm just glad we'll be getting an Animated Ironhide toy. If he comes with no accessories then I'll still be very very happy.

Probably to make a differentiation between the normal Earth-mode, and to show-off the show-accuracy. There are more differences in robot-mode as opposed to alt-mode.

The vehicle mode does stand a bit tallaer as well. Iwould hazard a guess that it is too bulky.

ANyhoo, been mucking wound with a new photo editor and decided to share my handy work. (as it is....)

Old and Young face compare.


Attached Blaz LD's EMP blaster on


Ratchets "electric punch" attack thing. Eeerm, Yeh a One inch punch perhaps?

[loophole]

i hope that Ironhide comes with the paddles as well they make ratchet look like a boxer with them so if i get another pair of paddles(boxing gloves) i can have an animated showdown
