Ratchet was medically a problem. Movie 1 he had a laser point at bee,he guides ironhide's canon to the window of Sams house and says "yeah yeah yeah" when ironhide asks to take out the parents, when bees legs blew off sam called him nowhere to be seen, also he's not carrying jazz which just seems like he didn't try and gave up. Movie 2 particularly in the desert he just watches jetfire kill himself without even offering to help not to mention when prime dies his first thought is let's go off world. Movie 3 again he's more interested in shooting things up.

Hound and ratchet are looking to be similar in that they don't care about being an actual medic and are more interested in shooting things up.

What was wrong with the laser pointer it was a medical tool?

Starscram and Brawl were attacking the group at that point I don't think Ratchet had time to check on Bee and Ironhide is carrying Jazz because he is the stronger of the two and it's obvious he tried because Ironhide himself said "We couldn't save him" so that means he obviously tried plus it seems obvious Megatron instantly killed Jazz since he is never shown moving around and he looks pretty dead dangling in Mega's hands lifelessly.

Jetfire chose to kill himself that was his own damn choice he wanted to sacrifice himself plus Scroponok did quite the number on Jetfire so he was probably dying you know from having more then his side being destroyed.

When did Ratchet show interest in shooting things up in DOTM?

Never that's when

The pointer did nothing.

Ratchet actively runs and abandons jazz to face megatron alone. Before that ironhide and jazz are taking on brawl just after bee had his legs blown off.

A medic wouldn't allow that even without a look at jetfire or attempting to save him.

In DOTM in Chicago, in ROTF in the desert and his clear lack of duties in the first movie attacking brawl instead of helping bee and wanting the parents killed. He's a bad character as a medic. If they called him hound it would've made more sense because he didn't act like ratchet.

Except for indicating to us, the audience, where the damage to Bee was located, which is all that it was supposed to do.

Yeah, I dont know why this is being revisited or put back in question all of a sudden.

A new slew of high quality images have been found on Weibo (the specific username with chinese characters can be found on the images below). these images include shots of the toy at all angles so you can see where the jet mode kibble ends up in robot mode and where the robot mode kibble ends up in alt mode (with a nice shot of under the jet). You will also see a cool fight scene between the new voyager Optimus Prime and see how perfectly they scale with one another. Also, just to be clear, you will notice that there is no facemask gimmick on the voyager figure since that feature only exists on the leader figure.

*cut- lots of pics*

Awesome photos. Voyager Megs is such a tidy looking figure. Can't wait to have him face my Optimus Prime.

Damn that Megatron is SEXY!

The exposed yellow face thing really makes it look like he's a LOTR orc wearing a helmet bit too organic looking for my liking.
Still, faces have always been the weakest part of the movie toys to me, and the rest of the figure looks awesome.

Prob will wait for the leaderclass.

Jazz ordered everyone to fall back Jazz:"It's Megatron fall back!" like with Jetfire Jazz chose to face Megatron alone that's why it cuts to Lennox yelling to fallback while looking in the direction Jazz was in because he was talking to Jazz specifically Jazz sacrificed himself even many of his toy bios mention this because that was the point.

Jetfire also sacrificed his life on purpose and he would of anyways because he literally says "In all my Decepticon life I've never done a thing worth doing until now" like the dude is wanting to commit suicide to save the world let him do that and also don't compare things to real life because it's a movie things happen as the plot wills it like giant robots being a thing.

Uhhh Ratchet did not have anytime to check up on Bee because I don't know there's a group of Decepticons trying to kill them all and steal the Allspark Bumblebee's state was not a priority and for all we know attaching Bee's legs would probably take awhile and say Brawl shoots Ratchet in the back while trying to help Bee then the medic's dead great job!

Ratchet was trying to get Hide to stop aiming at the parents with the "yeah yeah yeah" being what some people do sometimes in an conversation for example.

Dude 1: "I took down Megatron myself!"

Dude 2: "Yeah yeah sure"

Not going to argue anymore because were getting off topic and also your wrong and I don't mean in "my opinion" your wrong I mean factually your wrong according to the on screen events of the movies so I'm backing away because you probably won't change your mind.

Or like getting into a heated discussion about a character from a movie on a thread about the toyline for a different movie that does not feature said character
(Seriously, please take this to PMs or the appropriate thread)

Yes, let's stop arguing and just enjoy those fresh new lovely Voyager Megatron photos. Real nice to see whether we choose the voyager, the leader or both we're getting some fine looking Megatron here.

Jazz ran to fight megatron alone as hothead, in revenge of fallen he was fighting along side with someone maybe it was ironhide but Rachel can't save bots if they don't want to be saved jetfire he scaraficed himself his life to merge with Optimus give him more power and make him stronger fight against fallen and megatron same time,.

Ratchet first movie they added him wanting kill parents annoying they are yes would I want to kill them if I was autobot you bet I would but ratchet and few other bots in first movie was givin some comedy scenes dog peeing on ironhide foot wanting kill little dog, prime saying my bad for knocking over statue thing in back yard, freanzy giving middle finger, bumblebee wanting to shoot sector seven after they captured him and set him free in dam in case they try anything to bumblebee again,.

These are same transformers but with different personalitys look how Optimus prime acts in different cartoon series primal more about nature, cybertron prime more about cyber planet keys, armada prime keeping cybertron, kids, and mini cons safe from unicron and megatron,.

And medic can't be everywhere to save someone if there fighting battle if you need good example of it watch movie based on true story HACKSAW RIDGE one medic saving people and that same medic saw few of his solder friends being shot in head and killed in front of his face he was power less to do anything about medic could try save someone but then medic may get killed while doing so if ratchet ran away try heal bumblebee legs when they blown off decpeticon brawl tank would have shot at ratchet or even killed him, and blackout and starscream fighting ratchet he didn't have one decpticon to worry about he had three.

And where was prime while megatron was chasing after spike to get allspark in building leader wouldn't allow that unless leader was fighting other bots and trying save other friendly allies play battlefield as medic you will understand, but ratchet saying yeah yeah to ironhide rachet was for comedy reason,.

Some of these characters get worse treatment in cartoon show grimlock becoming smart jacking computron, wheelie tag along with annoying danial to find ultra Magnus father to give him birthday party

Good News:
1.Finally got Legion Barricade and Tiny Turbo Changer Crosshairs.

Bad News:
1.The Blind Bag Codes aren't right.Mine was C(Lockdown)and got Crosshairs(F).
2.In TTurboC. Wave 1,I only need Lockdown and Blackout.

Crosshairs is a funny figure though.
Barricade has Smokescreen's head but in black lol!

yeah, but i don't have anywhere near the skills to match that one.
Though it seems to have differences from the screengrabs I have, like they've made the shoulders steel coloured when they're blue on the ref pics I used. And they've left the upper parts of the forearms blue when they're steel coloured on the screenshot and there should be flames on the shoulderpads. Amazing paintjob though. The detail and cleaniness...

You guys, please. You've already been asked by one staff member to either move this discussion elsewhere or stop, and now you're being asked by another. Please follow our instructions. We appreciate civil discussion, but we don't need off-topic, page long arguments. Thank you.

It doesn't look half bad in either mode... but have to say, all the robots looking like knights in suits of armor doesn't sell it for me, being a long-time fan. I want my robots to look chunky and mech-like. I want to see vehicle parts in the alt mode... and identifiable colors and decos present in both modes. (Think Jazz and his #4). I can't believe they left out the back spoiler on Hot Rod, for instance.

Mind you, I think the movies are doing a much better job than earlier on, when everyone looked like a big mass of gray parts. Glad to see some color-coding going on with the newer characters. That's a good step.

SO yeah. I'll enjoy the break from collecting while Last Knight toys inundate the shelves for a summer. Will leave me more money for Takara's Titan series and Masterpieces.

Hope you guys enjoy the movie toys, tho!

I don't think it's grey, I think it's a really, really shiny, dark turquoise, but now, watching a review in some natural light, it might be a shade of blue-grey, great, now I'm confused

So you're saying ratchet being cowardly and running from megatron instead of helping the diminutive jazz was a sensible thing to do given medics are supposed to help

He didn't even attempt to look at or stay jetfires hand despite jetfire being a potential massive ally. Medics are supposed to save lives not idly stand by.

There was no cons at that point around. Mikaela had time to tie bee up with no assistance. Ratchet didn't assist there and this was before brawl got back up and before blackouts arrival. Bonecrusher already beaten by prime and barricade missing. Starscream had absconded from the fight at that point. So that's a nonsensical point.

Ratchet points ironhide's canon in the window egging him on to kill the parents there's nothing clearer than that, you're delusional and leaving now because you know you're incorrect and have repeatedly been proven wrong. It's OK for you to be wrong.

Amelie wrote:... but there is just too much grey on this toy. It needs some red or different shades of grey at least.

Ok, I can't pass this one up. The next Transformers movie should be a strange love story between Megs and some hot female Decepticon jet chick. It will be called...

drum roll please....


Fifty Shades of Bay!

I just realized that the voyager hounds that got 'released' in asia before this deco change are now going to be super rare

it cost too much

Whatever you say prowl4

Sooo anyone think we are getting Hot Rod and Onslaught figures? Can't see them not getting one yet Nitro gets a toy for himself unless he is as important as Megatron and Barricade in this film although from the imax footage Hot Rod seems to be fairly important at least as much as the AOE new Bots in their debut.

If we get a Hooligan figure do you think it will be an original mold as the rusty VW van or just a repaint of Berserker with a new head?

Who do you think is the third MMP? I would assume Barricade in his 2007 look and if not I would say Jazz if Pontiac was still a thing.

Bumblebee21 wrote:

Were you referring to any Takara toys or the Hasbro one?
Because with the hefty price hike of the Movie figures, the Takara are now the SAME PRICE as the Hasbro ones. Not counting shipping of course.

Hellscream9999 wrote:Just wait for TT's improved version, they've done one/several for each movie, and they are always gorgeous; I'm sure someone can corroborate this for me.

Quite the opposite. Takara's deco for their version of Hasbro's Optimus is never that much of an improvement.
Here are the Leader Optimus toys of the past from Takara:







And they prove that once again with this line where their Optimus has nothing different



Of course, they can release a nicer deco later, either as a special edition or a different version of their mainline figure, which they have. But so has Hasbro.

But the main point is this: The Takara version of Hasbro movie releases are rarely worth the import.

I'm referring to the ones they release later in the lines. Specifically the rotf mold with the gas tank guns and articulated fingers that they did, and the aoe leader that had the head with multiple faceplates, and articulated fingers, and the dotm one with hooks and gas tank guns and the additional vehicle mode armor. They do release improved versions with each movie, I'm sure this one will be no different.

Ok, but that means we all have to wait a year or two or three (like those DOTM ones). Also, the ROTF with gas tank you reffer to was not a takara release but a hasbro release called Buster Optimus Prime. hence why I wrote that its not necessarily Takara, but Hasbro that released special decos too. But always later. And Takara didnt release an improved version of the first Leader Optimus.

So there are no rules. I instead think that the improved version of the Voyager Mold we want for this film will be coming from Hasbro, which was the case last time for the AOE Voyager, where Hasbro's better edition surpassed Takara's.

Hasbro never gave us the aoe leader mold with remolded head with 2 faces, or gauntlets, or anything improved, they just did 2 different leader molds, both of which sucked. And I coulda sworn the gas tank gun prime was released by TT originally

Whatever, this seems like something right up jelze's, or sabr's alley. All I know is that this new voyager if rife with things that can be upgraded, I'd kill for ball-jointed wrists, I don't wanna miss this figure, as the mold is so damn clever and solid, but the deco's offered right now blow so hard. Hoping for a black knight version.

Hellscream9999 wrote:Whatever, this seems like something right up jelze's, or sabr's alley.

Why dont you trust me?

Because I make mistakes?

Well I do, and your right Buster Optimus was Takara not Hasbro. I thought it was Hasbro. Oh well.

How long do you guys want to wait to see what Takara does?

Not at all (being brutally honest, I trust you more than my scattered memories), but they just seem to have a penchant for memorizing stuff like this.

As for how long I'll wait? Until a deco is revealed that's worth my money (basically however long it takes for TT to paint it black and teal )

Nice.

The yes, if waiting is an option, I am sure a deco we like more will happen eventually.

I have 3 months to wait for that because that is how long i have until I have to give my voyager prime back to walmart.

Yeah, TT has a thing for black knight repaints, they have to release one, they're compelled to

I can't wait for voyager Megs and Hound. And Sqweeks. They all look cool and I'm excited to own them.

Also, I used the tiny turbo changers trick. You do need to be careful cause the lighting is difficult. I think it was Crosshairs I saw in the window was obviously green but his letter looked like it could be 3 different letters. Last bag I got was Sideswipe too, I was panicking cause I couldn't find him.

but seriously, pick up one or 2 of these guys. they are pocket change and are loads of fun

They seem like a lot of fun, but I'd like to see better picks of they're bot modes, gonna pick up a couple tomorrow along with barricade, I'm sold on him.

Barricade should not disappoint. He is awesome!

When you've obtained zen happiness with this franchise

I told myself that I'd wait for a "special edition" before buying voyager TLK Optimus. But in the end, I'm glad I didn't. It's a fantastic figure and I'm very happy to enjoy it NOW. The paint is still fairly good and I was lucky enough to have it on sale. Even if the sale only made it cost as much as the previous normal price point.

If an incredible looking special edition of TLK voyager Optimus do come out, I may double-dip without regrets.

You know, it makes me think. If you would have gotten your hands on him first, the official Seibertron Pictorial review would have been very very different. But then again, maybe you liked him because I lowered your expectations

Nice.

The yes, if waiting is an option, I am sure a deco we like more will happen eventually.

I have 3 months to wait for that because that is how long i have until I have to give my voyager prime back to walmart.

Then be prepared to hang on to it. I'm giving TakaraTomy 6 months to a year, those special retooled editions usually appear in the later half of a line.

I mean, his kibble is pretty bad, especially when they could have used accordion joints to compress it, but, come on, tons (almost literal tons) of tf's just wear part of a shell on their back, it's just different now because we're being spoiled by engineering magic of late.

I honestly don't remember the other complaints, but, he looks cool and fun, that's literally all I need in a tf

Ooooooooh no no no no no no no. See, yes the review would have been vastly different, but your review had no impact on my enjoyment of the figure. You are probably one of 3 people I have heard total say they didn't like it. I love movie figures, I love that movie design, I love the love they put into his accessories and design, and I love his head. there is lots of paint on him, there really is, it's just all dark blue and black, which end up blending together so you don't notice it as much. Barricade is one of my favorite cons too. And this one finally did him right, and did him even better

I bet the price was a deciding factor. Because 30$ for a good but pretty standard toy IS a hard pill to swallow. That feel to not get your money's worth.

I had that effect with MP-11 Starscream. But that one hit me like a sledgehammer to the gut.

Naw man, dotm barricade is where it's at, just give him chromia's pistol, or aoe hounds pistols, and you've got an awesome figure.

this one tops him. Easily. But I never owned the DotM one, but this one beats my 1st movie one, and it looks much better. It has hands. it had proper length arms, it has the whole bad cop feel. It is amazing
