Another Optimus?Originally Posted by Krayt
I kid but I'm guessing that's why Nemesis Prime didn't use the ER mold. Seems like the best way to get the Ratchet/Ironhide mold.

Boring.
Unless you're a botcon fan these mirror versions toys are obscure... and then there are botcon fans like me who think meh.
I was not.a fan of the concept but understood why botcon had to create it when Hasbro was needing to keep the expected main character redecos for themselves.
Another ratchet... and another one not coming here.

Ratchet must hate Australia.
I'm most likely skipping these two. I may have been interested in the Prime if we didn't have so many other exclusives to focus on, but I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything else I really want that I have to source from different places.

I get the feeling that Hasbro doesn't have much confidence in the Earthrise van mould, otherwise it'd be on the shelves.

Good use of Generations Select. Something that's got niche appeal to collectors only.
Feel like SG Ratchet's colours are pretty boring though. I would have been slightly more interested if he was in the Go! Hunter Ratchet colours (a version of movie Ratchet colours). Or the reverse red/white of Specialist Ratchet.

Still no red hands or waist for Ratchet?

Some mirrored images of the pair from WFC-GS17 Shattered Glass 2-pack (US$50 for December)...
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who are the evilest Autobots of all? This Transformers Generations Selects Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Ratchet 2-Pack - Exclusive brings two heroes at their worst. From an alternate version of Cybertron, these vile and sadistic warriors battle heroic Decepticons in a twisted version of the fight we've been monitoring from Earth. The purple Optimus Prime transforms into a truck and can pummel Decepticons and even his own men, while Ratchet is here - supposedly - to repair his comrades from battle. He just doesn't have the best bedside manner. Each figure comes with their signature blaster and the pack features an evil Matrix of Leadership accessory. Insert Matrix of Leadership accessory into Optimus Prime figure's chest in robot mode. Bring these toys to your Universe today!
Add WFCGS-17 to your Autobot army from this or the other, more evil dimension. The Shattered Glass Optimus Prime figure converts to truck mode in 31 steps. The Shattered Glass Ratchet figure converts to ambulance mode in 22 steps. Each figure comes with their signature blaster and the pack features an evil Matrix of Leadership accessory. Insert Matrix of Leadership accessory into Optimus Prime figure's chest in robot mode.

Even though Mirror-verse already gave us a Ratchet in mostly white (originally using the Energon Roadblock crane-truck mould in a comic, but then using the Combiner Wars Ratchet mould for a Convention custom toy), I thought that Ratchet would look better coloured like a 1985 Constructicon (which I think were actually coloured like Ratchet in the FunPub Mirrorverse comics)... because I was remembering how FunPub would try to colour characters based on an opposing characters if possible. And a green/purple colouring reminded me of that green "movie" coloured Ehobby Ratchet from about a decade ago.
(I had initially thought FunPub had done a SG Ratchet toy, done in white and blue... but it was actually SG Soundwave, which used the Ratchet mould.)

Too bad they won't be out here and will cost a pretty penny to collect because if that's how the final product actually looks, they are both excellent looking toys. I am a sucker for (non movie) Ratchet's but that teal and white just works. Purple Prime is just a nice tone.
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
