No pics yet (although we've already seen Hot Shot in the Collectors' Club magaine, and the first colored pics of Henkei Ratchet appear to depict the Hasbro version).

Isn't it a bit weird that the same character is available in two different toy lines and with a similar look?
I realize this is not the first, but at least Prowl is a car in Universe and a motorbike in Animated... or maybe now the Animated Ratchet toy is history, because it belongs just to 2007, while Universe Ratchet is a 2008 toy?

its a fair point - they* did say they wouldn't be doing the same characters in both lines, and that prowl was an exception due to his very different forms. i'm far more suprised that instead of a universe ironhide repainted to universe ratchet, they didn't just repaint animated ratchet (as ironhide has been in the show more than once, albeit in cameo roles)Treadshot A1 wrote:Don't you mean Animated is 2008 and Universe is 2009, in terms of Ratchet?
*insert name of whoever said this
point being, if they ARE willing to double up, does this 'un-kybosh' the universe characters they said they wouldn't do right away as they were already in animated? can we start getting our hopes up for a universe jazz (legends nonwithstanding)?

I'll be hoping for a Universe Blitzwing to stand next to Octane and Astrotrain!borg72 wrote:its a fair point - they* did say they wouldn't be doing the same characters in both lines, and that prowl was an exception due to his very different forms. i'm far more suprised that instead of a universe ironhide repainted to universe ratchet, they didn't just repaint animated ratchet (as ironhide has been in the show more than once, albeit in cameo roles)

Did you look under the sofa? Pretty careless to lose a whole year
I'm guessing Hasbro's main concern was regarding competing figures on the shelves, so I guess it doesn't take long after such-and-such figure finishes shipping to retailers for it to be considered discontinued... add on the three months until this wave hits and that's more thah enough of a gap.

New pics of Ratchet, horribly oversaturated, airbrushed and looking nothing like what the final toy will look like:

The license plate says "H3LPU2", a reference to an old Marvel Comics cover, which has been found out when we saw the first colored photos of the Henkei verison, which used photos of the Hasbro version as a substitute.

BBTS has that for all the toys they sell now. Might be some sort of glitch.Starfield wrote:Seriously? I've never seen any kind of warning like that before. Is it for real?

He looks so good that I want one. In exchange for my Armada version of course. On the other hand; I don't really need him because I already own Cybertron Hotshot and he has also some good articulation AND he has got a weapon and gimmicks. What the heck should I do now????
EDIT: I think he has got a weapon in the form of that Supercharger on his bonnet. For the transformation it splits apart and it wouldn't suprise me if the pieces are detachable.
