I never cared for movie Ratchet so I got no desire for this version but at least they gave him a decent weapon for once...'nuff said!

More like Rescue Ratchet with the colors reversed. You know, this may be a throwback to the initial draft of Ratchet, which portrayed him as a red Fire Emergency vehicle. Those colors would end up serving as the main inspiration for Movie Inferno, a Toys 'R Us exclusive repaint of Armada Red Alert.

A little early isn't it? Usually they break out the repaints after everyone bought the first color.

God Im happy with any Ratchet. He's my fave Autobot. Curse you Michael Bay for making him a less cared for character! WISH YOU COULD PLAY AS HIM IN 2007 MOVIE PS2 GAME

I like the new color scheme. However, what I really want to see is a new voyager mold for Ratchet.
He deserves ...

Not bad for ratchet..face looks a lil wierd but that could just be overly shopped pics... on the plus side, Shockwave looks like he might just have balljoints on his wrists... that.... MIGHT just sway me to get him... might....

HFTD Ratchet was enough of a venture to get a proper version for this character. Even if DOTM offers better figures for Ratchet, I dunno, we've been two major and two sub toy lines deep, I've just had enough of him. Also doesn't help that I feel that I have the best Ratchet available (Best Buy Metallic Version).
Only going to get a DOTM Ratchet if I feel that I'm going to add a DOTM section to my shelves. Even then there's so many better choices.

I don't have a Ratchet yet and was already planning on getting one of this mold. I REALLY like these colors--now I have to decide which to get.

The colors for the repaint not only are similar to Ratchet's initial concept design for the first movie, but it also reminds me of the actual rescue Hummers that were shown in an older news story, around the time that GM was supposed to have been selling the brand to a Chinese manufacturer. (I can't remember whatever became of that...)
I will have to say that I actually like the MechTech saw weapon, mainly because that was Ratchet's main display of badass in the first movie, using a saw to cut off one of Brawl's arms.

Either Photoshop chicanery, or we're actually going to get a ball-jointed wrist. I feel I would rememeber seeing it in a Peaugh review though... who knows.
