Transformers DOTM deluxe Ratchet

[MrRicky1999]

I was stupid and I bought Crankcase instead of Ratchet, now I regret it so much D;

[fxfranz]

@MrRicky1999

crankcase is a good figure, too

[MrRicky1999]

@fxfranz Hmmmph, not as good as Ratchet.

[chrizchian]

franz, hftd ratcheto ito? ano mas prefer mo?

[fxfranz]

@chrizchian

hndi, dotm ratchet ito. ibang mold ang hftd. yung hftd is a repaint ng rotf deluxe ratchet.

i like both.

[robby07darkangel]

franz, got this one na! very detailed and ang ganda ng mold, kaso maliit nga lang, even yung ibang TF DOTM figures ang liliit, si Voyager Optimus prime sana ang Target ko, kaso nung nakita ko yung size, na-disappoint ako, damn hasbro, sana bumalik yung dating scale

[fxfranz]

@robby07darkangel

nagtitipid kasi hasbro, with all this global inflation and several countries having economic meltdowns, talagang ganyan

[jordondykstra]

want this bot ,but for some reason i cant find him...

[fxfranz]

@jordondykstra

ok.

[eyongrobotreplica1]

I just got this guy! He's awesome, better than the deluxe ROTF, this guy has better articulation. Nice review! I just had a nice haul this week!

[fxfranz]

@eyongrobotreplica1

cool

thanks :-)

[JNBakuBrawler]

@FXFranz Should I get this guy, I have the Voyager HTFD Night-Ops ratchet but it's decent, I kinda want to get this guy, along with deluxe Nitro Bee and regular Deluxe DOTM bee, also Deluxe Swipe and Jolt.

[fxfranz]

@JNBakuBrawler

i don't know. do you like his scale here ?

[JNBakuBrawler]

@fxfranz Yeah, it looks pretty good.

[fxfranz]

@JNBakuBrawler

there you go ;-)

[kevin38429]

Is this in scale with the HFTD deluxe Ironhide?

[fxfranz]

@kevin38429

nope

[tresmooth27]

need a leader class rachet

[fxfranz]

@tresmooth27

let's hope for one, maybe if there's a 4th movie...

[opsimathics]

got this guy today, you can stick his mechtech weapons on the inner side of the flip pannels (they both have ports) good review Frankie

[fxfranz]

@opsimathics

cool

thanks :-)

[coolkid124512]

i just picked up voyager ironhide, voyager shockwave and deluxe ratchet and there awesome. good review :) liked

[fxfranz]

@coolkid124512

cool

thanks :-)

[swanpfireX103]

which has the worst robot junk (kibble), this or ROFT?

[fxfranz]

@swanpfireX103

i'm not sure

[BeybladeMaster1117]

@swanpfireX103 the rotf for sure



[2uneek]

whats the size like compare to the other dotm deluxe? he looks like smaller than the deluxe bumblebee..

[fxfranz]

@2uneek

just right.

[Trinipop99]

Do you know how tall it is? If you know can you tell me:P

[fxfranz]

@Trinipop99

about 6 or 7 inches

[godzillabots]

@fxfranz Are you getting Ultimate Optimus Prime?

[fxfranz]

@godzillabots

haven't decided yet

[theYouFlame]

is he loose?and is he in scale w/ battle blades hunt for the decepticon optimus prime?

[fxfranz]

@theYouFlame

nope

yes

[theYouFlame]

@fxfranz how about the deluxe hftd ironhide?and is ironhide in scale w/ hftd prime?

[IXRollOutIX]

Roadbuster? NOT EVEN the paint apps on Deluxe prime are often HORRIBLE on the robot mode. I got lucky.

[fxfranz]

@IXRollOutIX

yes, i suppose you did.

all our deluxe primes on shelves here, at least most of them, have paint quality issues

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

how do you lock the mechtech?

[Limeisbeast]

@TheBlackDeityAkantor You can't on the Deluxes

[fxfranz]

@TheBlackDeityAkantor

they don't lock with the deluxe figures

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

@fxfranz but the barricade does :DD

[fxfranz]

@TheBlackDeityAkantor

really? i haven't opened my barricade figure (as of this post) i'll check it out

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

@fxfranz yeah but theres not really a lock on the switch/button u have to move the claw

[fxfranz]

@TheBlackDeityAkantor

ok. thanks :-)

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

@fxfranz :DD no problem where do you live in manila?

[fanguy99]

his chest looks like a gunmen from gurren lagann

[fxfranz]

@fanguy99

cool

[decepticautobots]

if u would rank him out of 10 what would be his score

[fxfranz]

@decepticautobots

9/10

[uberkewl19]

Are your leg joints loose? Mine is and I HATE it! :(

[fxfranz]

@uberkewl19

they're ok

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

@uberkewl19 my megatron has loose joints

[beat040]

I want Ratchet so bad

[fxfranz]

@beat040

cool

[BeybladeMaster1117]

@fxfranz is there a way 2 buy a rotf voyager starscream off of you?

or perhaps a figure you dont like and you have copies off

[ggeek101]

awesome review and thanks for the tips, will pick this guy up :)

[fxfranz]

@ggeek101

thanks :-)

no prob :-)

[decepticautobots]

i think ur right coz just imagine him using that saw on his teammates they'll probably think his crazy

[fxfranz]

@decepticautobots

cool

[TheBlackDeityAkantor]

@fxfranz im getting him today :DD

[decepticautobots]

ratchet is the only doctor in earth who usese a saw to heal someone

[fxfranz]

@decepticautobots

i think it's more of a weapon and a tool for amputation

[fxfranz]

@ohnaji

cool

[fxfranz]

@LagoonaBlue447

thanks :-) man

no prob :-)

[batachink]

soo he's in great scale with HFTD Deluxe Class Ironhide..?

[fxfranz]

@batachink

perhaps

[WeaponOfficer]

09:18 Cannon Bumblebee??? I think that's Battle Blades Bumblebee (HFTD)

[fxfranz]

@WeaponOfficer

cannon bumblebee. i know, because BBBB is in bot mode on my shelf

[BlockBusterStudios1]

Is he bigger than Deluxe HFTD Ironhide and DOTM Wave 1 Bumblebee?

[fxfranz]

@BlockBusterStudios1

about the same as IH, but smaller than bb

[toaclaws]

Hummer h2 not hummer h3

[fxfranz]

@toaclaws

right, my bad

[Kaykadem]

watch fxfranz´s reviews are the right of all sentient beings

[fxfranz]

@Kaykadem

:-)

[TheLeoboycool10]

yeah i know i was talking about the voyager ratchet that you said he wil be repainted

[fxfranz]

@TheLeoboycool10

ok.

[theYouFlame]

u forgot to put the wheels down too?like peaugh?or is it really suppose to be like that?

[fxfranz]

@theYouFlame

i think it's supposed to be like that, at least that's what the instructions say

[shredBucketheadshred]

size isn't bad as we have IRONHIDE an OPTIMUS in the same scale but bring us a scout class BUMBLEBEE AN SIDESWIPE coz thats what these really are SCOUT class versions of large characters

[fxfranz]

@shredBucketheadshred

cool

[Slimshadow457]

Hey, fxfranz, does the Mech Tech Weapon fit on Voyager Ratchet's arm peg holes (the ones you're supposed to put his weird claw in). Your review has made me wanna get it :)

[fxfranz]

@Slimshadow457

i'm not sure

cool

[joshbotimus]

Great review!!

This will be a hell lot better if this was is Voyager Class. Damn.

But I'll just wait for the Voyager version to come out..

[fxfranz]

@joshbotimus

thanks :-)

yup

[typevthree]

Good review as always. The green of this figure is really nice but the overall size is very disappointing. Think I'll wait until it hits clearance.

BTW - If you're set on people to follow on Twitter, then you should add a link in the notes. You didn't even mention what your twitter was at the end of the video lol.

[fxfranz]

@typevthree

thanks :-) man

cool

how do you do that ?

i think it's pretty obvious that i'd also be fxfranz on twitter

[typevthree]

@fxfranz Oh I just meant to put a link to your twitter account in the description box for your videos. Or you could edit your videos on youtube and add an annotation with a link to your twitter page.

As for your name being obvious, you'd be surprised how many people won't make the connection between your youtube name and twitter account. Also, there's always the possibility that you'd use your real name on twitter instead.

[fxfranz]

@typevthree

i see... ok then. point well taken...

[Vigadeath]

It seems that Hasbro tick all the boxes with this figure. Shrinking toys! Ah!

[fxfranz]

@Vigadeath

perhaps

[WylunCustoms]

size comparisons FTW!  nice review! just picked this guy up couple days ago.. lol still havent opened him yet =X, but he does look like the best mold .. if only hasbro can just make this same mode in voyager class

[fxfranz]

@WylunCustoms

thanks :-) man

nice !

we can only hope...

[Teeheehee093]

@fxfranz the new one is wayyy more movie accurate. Actually the accuracy of the DOTM one is spot on

[fxfranz]

@Teeheehee093

cool

[ESanchezVids]

Umuulan kasi sa pinas, eh! =D

[fxfranz]

@ESanchezVids

yup :-)

[hung17688]

They should've done this for movie 1 Ratchet, I think you could pose this guy next to Brawl's arm :D.

[fxfranz]

@hung17688

yes, perhaps :-)

[VectorPrime2007]

@fxfranz

Good one THOR in the background. Guess that true he is god of Thunder

[fxfranz]

@VectorPrime2007

thanks :-) LOL

[PhantomJedix2000]

Awesome review my friend, I am wondering on how the light piping is on this guy?

[fxfranz]

@PhantomJedix2000

thanks :-) mate

it's ok.

[CODE84265]

I agreee with your opinions about this Ratchet mold but Im gonna w8 for the eventual red n white repaint :)

Great review!

[fxfranz]

@CODE84265

cool

thanks :-) man

[Slashercon]

Why can't Hasbro make a newly molded voyager Ratchet figure?! A deluxe Ratchet figure seems pointless to me. This is a great figure, but I wish it were voyager scaled.

[fxfranz]

@Slashercon

no idea...

cool

[jcfv83]

this ratchet is only good to be next to the deluxe class ironhide HFTD for scale matter

[fxfranz]

@jcfv83

cool. i'll do an update video...

[jcfv83]

@fxfranz yeah! In fact I've put together Sentinel, Ironhide deluxe, and mixmaster ROTF voyager and they scale perfect. I put them next to a little human figure and they would "fit" well in the doors. I'll post a video soon. Well, I'll wait for you update, it will be cool. Thanks

[grimwolf100]

i was going to comment something...but i forgot what it was.>.< but great review none the less

[fxfranz]

@grimwolf100

thanks :-) man

[Tangent999]

Alt mode is actually perfect. Hope they are gonna repaint it with the movie 1&2 color scheme.

[fxfranz]

@Tangent999

cool

i think a red and white version of this is coming out in wave 4 of the deluxe class DOTM

[tatt4music]

By far the best ratchet so far.Great transformation and looks pretty accurate for its size!Great review fxfranz!

[fxfranz]

@tatt4music

cool

thanks :-) man

[TheLeoboycool10]

I HATE THIS VOYAGER RATCHET, I mean they used this guy for the first movie, the second and now the third??

[eyongrobotreplica]

@TheLeoboycool10 its a NEW deluxe figure

[fxfranz]

@TheLeoboycool10

ok.

[Segaman19]

Great review, mate. This version of the deluxe-Ratchet mould looks fantastic.

[fxfranz]

@Segaman19

thanks :-) man

yup

[CoolioVids101]

I wish they would make a voyager like this

[fxfranz]

@CoolioVids101

me, too

[BloodlyTear]

thx for review. u r awesome!

[fxfranz]

@BloodlyTear

no prob thanks :-)

[nightfall2318]

great review, a very awesome review !!!!

[fxfranz]

@nightfall2318

thanks :-) man

[thegladve]

to be honest iwould appriciate if hasbro would desing a new mold for the voyager class but i guess this would be classified as wishfull thinking lol.

[fxfranz]

@thegladve

well said

[thegladve]

@fxfranz thanks and by the way forget about the wishfull thinking part i really do hope that hasbro will redesign ratchet as a voyager figure lol.

[goriverde2]

I love him in alternate mode , but i'm an escale fan, luckely i have the first movie voyager but the alternate mode it's not good at all. Nice review fxfranz :)

[fxfranz]

@goriverde2

cool

thanks :-) man

[DMSL2007]

Heading to a convention on Sunday, hope to buy a bunch of DOTM figs. This is a great review of a very nice figure but i'm hoping for a Leader Class. Scale is very important for me lol (geek alert).

[fxfranz]

@DMSL2007

nice! all the best Ray, hope you snag a lot of good stuff.

thanks :-) man

[TheK12H]

wil you review crankcase? im having trouble transforming him into vehicle mode ( his dreads)

[fxfranz]

@TheK12H

i've done a review of him. check it out on my channel.

follow me on twitter if you want to keep tabs on my latest toy purchases and upcoming reviews

[adamagnus]

awesome review......as always. You know I have looked thru about 25-30 Roadbusters at Walmart, Target, and TRU and I couldnt find an excellent one. So I had to pick the best out OF THE 25! Paint apps are horrible. My ratchet was meh so its ok. I just hope Topspin has quality paint apps, better than RB no doubt. You know me and my paint apps......

thanks Franz

[fxfranz]

@adamagnus

thanks :-) man

wow ! 25 RBs ?! man, you have patience...

let's hope so.

no worries, mate

[jeoboy]

I really dig how thorough you are especially when giving tips about hunting for these figures (the one with the paint apps). Very nice review. Although if I may ask a question: How good is this Ratchet, scale-wise, with Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe Ironhide?

[fxfranz]

@jeoboy

thanks :-) man

it's pretty good. i'll probably do a size-comparison update video for my next DOTM figure review.

[jeoboy]

@fxfranz Yay! Thanks, man!

[96megatron]

i wanna see a human alliance version with his movie gun and saw of ratchet to go with dark of the moon leader ironhide. did you know he has hidden missiles in the movie? i would like to see that on a toy like leader class starscream.

[fxfranz]

@96megatron

cool

[ShinigamiMasta]

I'm on the fence with movie designs but I must say I like those DOTM figures.

BTW, Franz, you sam how Wheeljack looks in the movie? So dissapointing.

[fxfranz]

@ShinigamiMasta

cool

really?  send me the link via message on youtube

[zversus]

its a great figure but im really put off by the scale... ill still consider getting this one but i really wished that Hasbro would release a PROPER Voyager Ratchet... movie Ratchet needs more love and repaints of the same damn mold arent enough

[fxfranz]

@zversus

cool

[BigDaddyEarl]

Always a great review....

[fxfranz]

@BigDaddyEarl

thanks :-) man

[SuperHe111]

wow its a creat figure very good review..greets from germany

[fxfranz]

@SuperHe111

cool

thanks :-)

[thenames9]

I'm still contemplating getting Ratchet, as I already have the NEST one. What do you recommend?

[fxfranz]

@thenames9

get this one man, it's awesome. but if you're waiting for the other waves to get released, i suppose you can wait till this guy goes on clearance or the price drops a notch.

[naldopr]

my son just love this one he had a hard time to transform the rotf one so let see if I find him tomorrow thank for the vid. also man this new deluxe are small lol

[fxfranz]

@naldopr

cool

no prob :-)

yup, even the voyagers have grown smaller a bit

[awquinn1201]

Great review, as always! :D

[fxfranz]

@awquinn1201

thanks :-) man

[9mandazi9]

@fxfranz as soon as you said that roadbuster was the fist with crap paint job i was like "thank you! it's not just me who thinks that." the paint on my roadbuster is really kinda crap.

[deathrider24]

You probably already found/saw this after this review,but the last flaps you closed transforming it to alt mode,the side flaps,have mech tech ports on the inside.

[fxfranz]

@deathrider24

yeah, i meant to connect the weapon on his leg during bot mode, i just forgot because i was bent on keeping the vid short (to no avail, obviously) but thanks for mentioning it :-)

[Limeisbeast]

He's way better than the HFTD

[fxfranz]

@Limeisbeast

yup

[Limeisbeast]

@fxfranz Are you getting Skids? He is my fave deluxe so far
