Thanks to BBTS, we have new images and profiles on Universe Deluxe: Wave 06: Hot Shot and the previously shown Universe Deluxe: Wave 06: Ratchet. Hit the Read More below for all the background on these 25th Universe action figures coming out in March 2009.

Universe Deluxe - Wave 06 - Hot Shot

Universe Deluxe: Wave 06: Hot Shot transforms from a yellow sports car into a notably more elaborate version of the Armada character and is partnered with an equally elaborate version of Hot Shot’s Mini-Con side kick Jolt. The speed hungry Jolt transforms into a helicopter but is not geared to activate any hidden features. Hot Shot’s youth and heroic nature typically serve to propel him headlong into virtually any situation, regardless of any threat of danger. This recklessness sometimes brings to light Hot Shot’s leadership potential, although it also tends to underscore Hot Shot’s comparative lack of experience.

Universe Deluxe - Wave 06 - Ratchet

Universe Deluxe: Wave 06: Ratchet utilizes the Classics Iron Hide mold with a primarily red and white color scheme. Serving the Autobot cause as resident Chief Medical Officer, Ratchet is widely regarded as the best tool-and-die man on Cybertron. His work bay provides him with a staging ground in which he can make anything from a pin to a missile. Though Ratchet is occasionally given to a frivolous demeanor, and will sometimes allow his apparently boisterous night life encroach on his otherwise studious work ethic, he’s a renowned, resourceful medic armed with an onboard tool kit that includes laser scalpels, arc welders, electron microscopes, circuit sensors and fluid dispensers.
