Specialist Ratchet - DOTM Deluxe

I picked up this figure on a whim and I'm glad I did. This is by far the best Ratchet figure from the movie lines.

This will always be my favorite transformer and no amount of money would ever be able to replace him. I've had this since I was 4 years old. My dad's a firefighter and emt. He found this in a store that sold stuff that was damaged or something. My particular ratchet survived a fire in a Walmart. I wish I still had the package. It was covered in sutt from the fire. When I was younger I had sat him down in a chair and you could see him plain as day yet my mother sat on him and broke his arm. I never forgave her until she bought the replacement part off of ebay when I was 15. I will always love and cherish this ratchet. If I had to choose to keep only one of my transformers it would be him.

The green version of this mold was the first DOTMdeluxe I bought, And i personally like the green version, although this one looks good as well.The articulation is good, and especially the legs allow for really dynamic poses. The transformation is relatively simple, but very satisfying. Nice review overall.

Trust me your not the only one who hate that green color for ratchet

I've been searching and searching and I finally found the video that has the same toy that I have

[trustarscreamer]

I love this mold but I can also say the mechtech weapon on the green guy is pretty sweet as well

[heavyarmsh]

Finally, a Ratchet figure that I actually like! I guess it wasn't so much the design of the robot himself that I had a problem with - but the nasty yellow color. ^_^

The Ironhide that should've been.




At least in a notion of "Ironhide is red Ratchet with more badass guns."

[FPrimusUnicron]

just swap the pieces that connect the legs to the torso, it doesnt affect the transformation but allows a wider range of articulation

Movie Ratchet was actually intended to be a search and rescue vehicle and not an ambulance, hence why I vastly prefer the original release of the DOTM deluxe Ratchet mold over the one that you reviewed.

I found this guy a couple of days ago on a local toy and comic store, it was only $10 and because I got it on a Friday I got a discount so it was only $8.

I inexplicably have the right leg and back kibble on my shelf, don't know where it came from but its here.
but there is a complete one at MixGoods, a used toy store within walking distance of my house, the spring in the mechtech weapon was removed by the previous owner, which makes it objectively better to play with

[Eucep]

Actually not an ambulance as I understand it in any of his forms, might have the color, but he's intended to be a search and rescue vehicle. Close though. Got the previous deluxe version, was quite pleased with him, then was somewhat baffled that they again made a new deluxe for dotm.

[wesleyv]

interesting fact

the color scheme for this version was originaly going to be his actual color scheme in the movies but unfortunately they changed it at the last minute

[alexandersilva]

i saw an old video of myself showing off my Transformers toys i used to have and this was one of them apparently

[likeits]

The design and colors of Ratchet's head looks like a masked Mexican wrestler.

[hotwheelsbrothers]

I like this better than the green Ratchet

[TheWingblade]

Hi baltmatrix, do you know if this mold can swap the head with Prime Ratchet's one?
