First Look at Target Exclusive Rescue Ratchet Set

As gruff as Autobot Ratchet can be, he is, at heart, the kindest of the Autobots. His rough demeanor is rooted in his concern for those around him, for he worries constantly about the well being of others. Autobot Ratchet fears no Decepticon, and he would not hesitate to face destruction in order to help another being. The only thing he’s afraid of is that one day, one of his friends will be injured so badly that his mechanical skills won’t be enough.

Come to the “rescue” with this Autobot Medic figure! With a tool storing “backpack,” this robot-to-vehicle figure is prepared to “repair” his buddies. Convert this superfun, superhero figure from robot mode to rescue vehicle mode, and back again! Includes Prowl and Starscrean Legends figures and tool accessories!

I may pick him up if I decide to go completist with the :animated line. otherwise I'll probably pass.

They've got plenty of Soundwaves... but I don't want to buy another one. I rarely get repaints, and I sure as heck won't have two identical figures. And I don't want to be one of those guys who buys a figure and then switches it out for my crappy one.

sometimes there's not much choice.

had to do that with animated bumblebee, classics astrotrain and plan on doing it with prowl once henkei is released. with any luck they'll have used decent paint that doesn't smudge)

it then gives room for kitbashes and repaints.

But seriously, I'd like a Soundblaster as I hope they would fix the sticky paint problem my Soundwave figure has. I shouldn't be afraid to play with my TFs... that's why I avoided Binaltech after I couldn't transform one without risking scratching his paint.

If a store near you has restocked recently, you might want to try another Soundwave. I got mine a few weeks ago and still no sticky paint issues.

Epic fail comes to mind at the same time as :puke

Maybe Rescue Ratchet versus Stealth Soundwave (Soundblaster homage).

If they had done this with a Buzzsaw repaint of Laserbeak people would have bought it just for that. It's a really good idea.

What we got though is....just bad.

Man, I'd like a Black Soundwave redeco with a Buzzsaw.

... and a red Blaster remold with some new instrument.

... dammit.

Why does this repaint remind me of a carebear? Yellow with a pudgy white belly.. ?

"f'ugly" is the word. :) :P

It looks like Hasbro were trying to repaint Ratchet in movie colours but massively stuffed up and made him yellow instead of green. Green would still look bad on this mould mind you, but at least the proper movie colours would've been more justifiable.

You forgot to post the Takara/Tomy Repaint Wheel.

I picked the normal TFA-Ratchett up today on a whim. Actually because I dont really want any repaints - so TFA will be my Ratchett and CL-Uni will be my Ironhide. :clap
