I'm happy with the regular Ratchet, and I plan to get the G1 repaint so NO to this version.

As for ratchet, they can make him more movie accurate, and refuse to do a leader class Blackout/starscream/?

And they're packaged in the same style of MP Starscream. Which could good or bad. Good if it tricks WalMart or whatever store into carrying MP SS b/c they think it's a part of the movie. Or bad b/c little Jimmys mom picks it up thinking it's the movie 1 he wanted and will probably end up breaking it, returning it, or both b/c it's too complicated and advanced for their idiot kid....
Neither Megatron or Ratchet really interest me, though.

I also found this very interesting. More interesting than the repaints actually. I wonder why they decided to do this.

If you're going to do repaints, do a decent job with Voyager Megatron and get rid of that infernal fake ice garbage on him. It sucks.
Sincerely, you TF fan and collector,
Sportimus

I get how people enjoy repaints, simply because many T-former collectors aren't good painters at all. Like if there was an '08 Cliffjumper, people would definetly go out to get it. I also understand Final Battle Jazz, since it gives collectors and fans a different weapon for Jazz to wield, and it also gives a battle-damaged look. I understand Evac repaint of Blackout because it's a character that some fans enjoy.
But Metallic Finishes? Megatron, Ratchet, as well as the '74 Bumblebee i've seen before are a waste of money. C'mon, if you happen to already have Megatron, Ratchet, and '74 Bumblebee, and continue to buy their metallic finishes, you are either a hardened collector, a movie supporter, a Megs/Ratcher/Bumblebee fan, or just plain stupid. What's so special about the Metallic finishes? Can anyone understand that there's nothing special with it at all? All it is, is some varnished figure, in which the varnish isn't even worth someone buying the figure all over again.
Honestly, if you're buying something other than the original figure, atleast buy a repaint of a different colour, or something like a retool. But for pete's sake don't even touch the Metallic Repaints!

i like that megatron but i cant see the difference on ratchett?
i just hope that that limited edition voyagers would hit the regular toys stores here in the philippines and not on just local toy stores(black market) w/c charges tf figures like 40-50% or somtimes 3 times the price like the case of bb08.
but the worst part is that why didnt hasbro just made these version at the first place?
