New package pictures of Transformers Movie Ratchet including bio

I think Hasbro screwed up using the face that they chose for Ratchet. I keep looking at the box art and wondering what kind of kid can relate to Ratchet's face? I feel that the box art doesn't help the product sell.

I still think Ratchet kind of looks like Armada Red Alert in both modes. He definately looks better than some of the movie toys cough*Starscream*cough.

Isn't that Cybertron RedAlert's bio?

I hate when these get repedative, but with so many new issues each year, it's kind of expected.

"Last, best hope..." either someone has been reading up on their Abe Lincoln or someone at Hasbro's a Babylon 5 fan

Ok, ratchet looks like the jurassic park 4x4's.

fugly face or not, i still want this one, and the bio seems pretty cool too.

Can't get around that fugly green .

More than likely will pick up, keep it MISB and look at it from the back of the box!

I also refuse to pay what the auction will end at. I am not that desparate!

Kinda decent. Nice, accurate bio. Face is acceptable for me. I'll buy him and enjoy playing with him.

He looks too strong to just have a 4 in strength.

When are they due out ?

Thats what I was thinking....good ol' babylon 5.

That's what I've been saying all along. Ratchet has a 4 for strength and, yet, they made him a Hummer. It is simply not an appropriate alternate mode. Doesn't fit with the character.

I agree it does seem a little weak for him,even if he is only a medic.

While it looks looks like something out of the Predator movies, I don't mind the head mold for Ratchet. I actually liked those movies. It's the deco I'd bitch about. Star Jammer's got it right comparing it to that of a Jurrasic Park vehicle. I think if this figure's really supposed to be Ratchet, it should be decoed as Ratchet.

I'm gonna buy this one when it's out in spite of the deco, because the deco's the only thing I don't like and it really doesn't kill this one.

Interesting point. I was more focused on his endurance of 10, which seemed a little out of place.

That's how I am. It's just the deco not the tech spec I don't like.
