White hip panels blend with white thighs better than Ironhide's red with gray thighs. I think at least, and the majority of the figure is white too which helps the eyesSeibertron wrote:Mine's on the way! Can't wait and still can't figure out why he looks so much better than Ironhide to me.

Maybe you're a crest - not mohawk - man.

It's the G1 in all of us, cause that's where the repaints started (well Diaclone..but more G1). I also find it funny that I get annoyed with repaints/retools in other lines sometimes but don't question it on MP. I think the Bayverse stuff may have angered me, with first release then premiums, then 80 Bumblebees.Cyberpath wrote:When you think about it, it's kind of funny that we buy the same toy again (pretty much,) because it represents a different character on the cartoon.

I draw the line at Decepticons jets who aren't Starscream. (Though I don't have him yet either, heh.)

Then I got Ironhide in hand, and looking at those pics I just see a sea of white.
Got a long way to go to beat Ironhide Ratchet! I might just have to bite the bullet and have you shipped on your own.

The super cartoony blue windows on Ratchet just add to me simply not caring about these 2. I mean, Ironhide is here now, but had I never ordered him I wouldn't be missing anything

The mp line has been sooo good this year I gladly will pay to keep Takara churning new MPs out. I mean we've had like 4 sweet releases in just the first 4 months of 2016.
They've been making insane progress on the MP characters but i cant wait till Jazz, Galvatron and maybe a Beast Wars Scorponok or Tarantulas get a shot at getting a MP-##.

So what would be the the right MP Laserwave price be then?

First impressions of the alt mode and it's a good even white all over, maybe some panels aren't quite aligned properly but that is sorted easily. A couple of minor defects in the plastic surface, typical sort of stuff. Collector coin is nice but not thrilling.
No jet pack with Ratchet, shame as it looks really nice on Ironhide but I suppose we get a set of tools to make up for it.
During first transformation I got quite a bit of white paint flakes chip off, easily seen on my black trousers.
No issues, no floppy joints.
He looks good.

For some reason the figure looks a lot better than Ironhide to me. Only thing, those windows as pointed out in the vid let you see too clearly into the "guts".
I don't think it even needs the red +'s on the shoulders, it looks fine as is.
I'd still like to see it done in Marvel colors.

Because he didnt contact us. Its right there in my signature, you think something deserves front page, you contact us and let us know, if not there are no guarantees.

Is that a widespread issue?

True though some odd reason his review didn't even come up in my video descriptions must be one of those weird youtube things

Oh MAN! I had no problems with Iron Hide, but damn Ratchet takes the mold.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love how well MPs scale with Microman in robot mode?

Those treads. Are those from that botcon exclusive Ironhide from Superlink or something?

Mine just shipped so I'll be getting him in two weeks.

Lost Cybertronian reported that Ratchet doesnt hold together as well in alt mode compared to Ironhide and that he thought of dissasembling the shoulders and switching them so they look like Ironhide more. Maybe he will tell us when he disassembles them.

But wouldnt a microman be as big as a quarter of that MP's pinky?
Posted by Cobotron on April 29th, 2016 @ 8:57am CDT
Kind of, yes. it is the sled that came with Energon Towline. The mold used for the Ratchet exclusive. Would be better if I had the exclusive, because it's white of course. Just working with what I have.fenrir72 wrote:Those treads. Are those from that botcon exclusive Ironhide from Superlink or something?
william-james88 wrote:But wouldnt a microman be as big as a quarter of that MP's pinky?
Technically, yes, but for my own little imaginary pretend fantasy crossover world, sometimes Microman can be human size.

I like Ratchet more. It's gotta be the happy face. And all of the white REALLY HIDES the hip panels. As they are white.

This is kudos to how Floro Dery gave two nearly identical retools and gave 'em personalities. Of course, the TT engineers should not be forgotten for giving 2D illustrations the #D treatment
