    Love how some of the action shots are in sequence.
    And very nice reference to the Rod of Asclepius. Lots of people get it wrong even big medical organizations. Just not sure if they had cobras in ancient Greece?

    I just opened mine and transformed him, I receieved it from HLJ a while ago upon release but for some reason he just sat there...
    He's so shiny and bright and smiley! I love it I'm not 100% sure on what to do with the stickers, I think I like the idea of the Autobot one on one shoulder and regular cross on the other.

    Has anyone else experienced any white paint flaking off their MP Ratchet?

    That's what I've done, with both robot and vehicle modes.

    I finally got to open mine up the other day and despite only recently getting Ironhide (and playing with it more than usual for a MP toy), I wasn't bored or felt like it was a chore to transform Ratchet, as this design is just a delight to transform. A little tricky with the chest area, but the result still amazes me every time I transform this mould.
    And the legs... the way they turn into cartoon legs and hides everything... one of the best (since MP-01).

    Not personally, but I believe it's a fairly common issue.

    I've heard a reliable rumour the factory ran out of the mould with late orders. So to make up the numbers they used a Michael Jackson mould, used whitening cream & hoped nobody the wiser. Sounds like you were unfortunate to get one of these.

    looking at the faces for Ironhide and Ratchet, it seems that the actual face is one part and it is connected to the rest of the head. Has anyone tried removing the actual face part from one and swapped it to another? I have an idea for a photo but I would need the open mouth face from Ironhide swapped onto Ratchet.

    The faces are indeed separate pieces, but no, I haven't tried swapping.

    Toyhax has released their label set. Video of them as well:

    A little bit here and there, not noticeable unless you look real hard, but it is disappointing.

    I swear Takara must not be able to apply white paint properly, because i've had white paint rub on Ramjet, Wheeljack (reissue) and now Ratchet.
