Vangelus Review 19-R - TF Animated Rescue Ratchet

[EchidonaMicHog]

Watch out, he's gonna banana you to death!

[shadowrizer3]

he was a tomato but now hes a lemon

[mcmetolhead]

he looks ...banana flavored!

[roni134730]

Where did you get that animated Vange1us toy!? O_O

[primal2020]

@roni134730 the guy who designed the animated characters drew up vangelus at some point and somebody made a toy out of it for him

[translego1]

that "speech" makes me not only want a rescue ratchet, but to also give him a hug,so that he would know that he is a great figure. i would also get the two legends figures.

[AnimeLovingOtaku]

Poor guy, I actually fell pity on him. I still won't buy the figure though.

[crazyotororandomness]

he's lemon flavoured

*shot

[Rodimus1138]

I personally like Banana Ratchet

[popculturehero]

I have one. And dude it really would have been a decent movie ratchet redeco with the green instead of yellow.

Guess they failed to check the Gamma.

[superquad7]

Oddly enough, I bought this version of Animated Ratchet before the regular release for much the same reasoning as you said you like this one. :)

[aidorei]

>D If I loved you any harder it'd be illegal. And fun. >:O

[crazyhorse52395]

That 1080 p is delicious! And also surprisingly quick to load.

[barutazaru]

Aw, poor ol Ratchet. I'd be more inclined to pickhim up if the price was even kind of realistic. 1x Deluxe + 2x Legends= THIRTY POUNDS? WHAT

[Vange1us]

Selling Rescue Ratchet for 30 pounds is legitimate supervillainy. >:(

[CJWproductions]

Poor Ratchet. ;_;

[karriemtrammell]

I watched it in 1080 with no prob dude.

[hilmanhor]

The motion in the 1080p version seems less smooth. Everything is so juttery( is that a word?).

[richter100]

That's your PC

Looks great from here

[Lamefoureyes]

I think you're thinking of jittery.

[forgotten1103]

@hilmanhor get a video card with 512Mb RAM or better. make sure your video card & monitor are HDCP-Compliant.

[jameschee]

u sound so much like the voice over of ratchet hahaha

[boeingnz]

Well this figure is a lot better than the Happy meal one for sure.

That toy is just crap and no review on Youtube.

[Zipdisk01]

Vangelus, that was the most depressing review I think I have ever seen. On the plus side, it makes me feel infinitely better about my own wasted life knowing that I am not an elementary crossing guard with a past of failed suicide attempts. Bravo my good man, bravo!

[wewyllenium]

That's just sad. lol. A wonderful joke.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

oh chris you always gotta love those outcast's lol. Really not one for me but i can see why this tickles you sir and i for see this guy appearing in the future videos

[T2rx6]

His face looks like a goth kid who started crying...

[speedstriker]

Dejected Rachet is dejected. Somehow you managed to make him look even more depressed.

[TheDeceptitron]

color scheme doesn't do it justice.

[Just10tb]

*newvangelus's video style is way better than before. AWESOME VIDS

[TheDeceptitron]

don't really care for this figure,no offense.i'm just getting tired of unnecessary repaints.i just don't see the point to continue wasting money on this kind of stuff to be honest.i mean come on,people don't need this.

[SpecialAgentRavage]

O.O NYEH! that colourscheme was suprising!

[thelastallosaur]

I'm going to admit it.

I actually like rescue Ratchet.

I think it's a good colourscheme, and that the shade of yellow is truly delicious.

Am I blind?

[Darthwilkins]

OMG depressing but kinda funny! the frame rate for 1080p was a bit slow in parts duno if that is my laptop or not?

[Vange1us]

1080p definitely depends on system specs- I expected that but was curious if Youtube's flash-ness had a way around it somehow.

[dougzx9]

I never noticed his diaper before, maybe we should call him geriatric Ratchet. 1080p works great on my end, loads just as fast as the other resolutions, and plays very smoothly.

[havanowoncheese]

The 1080P worked fine and i really love the transformation montage in this one!

[XmorganlamiaX]

Homer?

[RodimusMinor1987]

I got him and he is crap the legends that came with him were crap Starscream was so crap I destroyed him like Paul did I wasated my money on him must of been having one of those days it wasd the day after my Birthday party last year so I must of still been hungover

[Vange1us]

That sounds very wasteful :O

I hope it was satisfying!

[RagaRBM]

@RodimusMinor1987

Wow, way to be so cynical.

[MrLocomotor]

Matrix glow-G2-emo Rathcet is my name for this guy.

[PHZNranger]

Didn't see too much as far as an increase in quality between 1080 and 720 honestly. Though, I have not disregarded the possibility that it could have been my video card trying to protect me from 1920x1080 pixels of BRIGHT BURN YOUR EYES OUT YELLOW.

[WolfKang1]

I don't own many from the Animated line, and I will be honest with you, I really can't make up my mind about this guy. Lol.

[xBurnitallx]

Thanks for doing that for rescue Ratchet. That was cool, man. 1080p didn't work out too well for me. 720p was fine.

[nonaes]

poor animated rescue ratchet.

[RageTreb]

I have every TFA figure from Deluxe to Leader minus some of the repaints, so I might be getting this guy if I decide to go full-on completist on the line. He's... really bad, though. However I too have a morbid fascination with him. Good review.

[Zekren]

an..interesting..experience as usual, watched it in 1080 and then in 720, the 1080 version was quite choppy video wise but the audio was fine.

[TsunogaiDanshaku]

I must be losing my mind, because this actually looks GOOD to me. The only thing I would've changed was maybe put in another color on his antenna instead of making them solid red. That and the accursed translucent lemon-flavored plastic.

[8bitPikachu]

Ratchet Goes Bananas!!!

just look at that piss yellow

[Segaman19]

Why the large amount of YELLOW?

[Kamentoyreviewer]

why R

[Levitz9]

...This review is just sad... I have nothing to say... ;_;

[Guiltaur]

You've convinced me to have pity on this poor, poor bot.

[DestronDecepticon23]

Great review as always! The resolution on 1080p was just fine, but when set to that mode, the frame rate seemed to go slower, compared to 720p.

[TheBillStickers]

GRETA VID! THANKS VANGELUS ^o^ most entertaining.

[TheBillStickers]

1080p gets choppy with "live" movements... I'll see if there's any improvement after waiting for the video to load. [time passes] Nope still choppy. Maybe my bandwidth sucks? Mhm... probably not, it's loaded into the cache and this computer is still new and fancy with it's mega supreme pentium processor. Youtube's fault again? Like before, Vangelus? Oh well, I'll switch to the lower res. Tis cool you're experimenting with 1080p ^^ much appreciated ;D.

[AMZOD]

Rescue Ratchet reminds me of my favorite mini-con as a smaller child than I am now, Dirt Boss. The dumb gray and yellow mini-van from Armada.

This is why I love Rescue Ratchet.

[TheShockwave1138]

I like the headlights...

*random*

[bigdonkey14]

i will now be saying there's rescue to happen for the next 6 weeks

[Gundamfighterfreedom]

Funny thing is, I think Rescue Ratchet's human counterpart lives down the road from me at the ekementary school. Fat old guy in the classic lemony green, wavin' his sign to who knows where, yellin' at them turbo-revvin' punks.

P.S. 1080p is koscher with me. takes about a minute to load, but its fine.

[tehpaws]

This guy's colors make my eyes hurt.

[Vange1us]

Do they hurt IN GLORIOUS 1080P DEFINITION?

[tehpaws]

@Vange1us If my screen could tell the difference, yes. :P

You should put up a warning label. WARNING: Intense colors may cause blindness in higher resolutions.

[e199sigma]

"...And the underpants...!"

Well, now I can't get the image of Ratchet as a crossing guard out of my head...

[krakendude2]

This guy kinda reminds me of Ronald Mcdonald. Het, that could work! He could be Ronald, True colors Shockwave could be Grimace, Arcee can be Ronalds Birdy Bitch, and... who could be Hamburgler? I NOW HAVE A LIFE JOURNEY.

[DarkeRaven09]

If I can find it really cheap? Sure I'll buy him... I'm not picky... even if it's a bright yellow Transformer that should have been working as Cure Lemonade's stand in for the recent Precure movie out this year in Japan... pity the closest swap meet is on another island (Oahu)... sigh.

And wow. As a crossing guard this review was depressing on so many levels... thanks for not cheering me up today. Sigh.

[meowskull]

Ronald McRatchet looks like he's holding 2 soggy french fries.

[imthe13thgod]

I only got my Rescue Ratchet because he went on clearance (I got him for Php400.xx (approx $8.50 US)), & he comes with 2 legends figures & I didn't have the original Ratchet yet. I'm very happy I got him; he sold me on the mold. I wouldn't have hunted down the regular Ratchet if it wasn't for this. He looks significantly better when wearing Stealth Lockdown's EMP Generator because his windshield & ineffective light piping is made of the same translucent plastic as the Stealth EMP Generator.

[r0b0leadr]

Rescue Ratchet: Bright on the outside, depressed on the inside

[SoundMaster747]

I have a strange attraction to this deco. I might see if I can get him for a good price.

[AmayaFanel]

He is just WAY too banana yellow for me =_=

[joyfullydepressed]

Still say it looks like Homer Simpson

[JoshuaKenori]

What? No "I'm to old for this shit" reference? Comeon Vangelus, you're so slipping.

[Vange1us]

Rescue Ratchet's unawareness of being too old is what led him down this spiral of stacking failures.

[jeremythedestroyer]

I'm sorry, as nice as it looks, 1080 takes to long to load on my computer.

[Vange1us]

At least Youtube leaves 720 and 480 as options too, haha

[Kaizuna]

How can something with this much bright yellow be so incredibly depressing?

[Majinhero]

huh, not even the mold can save this guy. do i like him because i pitty him?

[sagasky]

Its funny as I saw this today, right before I bought animated ratchet on clearance for 5 bucks!

[holsson85]

emo ratchet iz emo...haz no energon burgers :'(

[Cristidfs]

HAHAHA! Your AWESOME!

[exillionXLR]

He is rubber duck Ratchet! Pour a beer and call the cops!

[UltraPrimal]

This review made me very depressed.

Also, 1080p?! You are the king of HD review, man!

[frenzyXprime]

i want that...alot i♥ratchet

[TheHelldragon]

Lost A Bet Ratchet.

Dejected Birthday Clown Ratchet.

Sunny Delight Ratchet.

[wazzupwazz]

want!

[TrophyHunter1986]

1080p is fine bro..good review as always

[Eucep]

The old mans voice you do quite well.

[dude851884]

Allow me to echo the "Thanks to the realistic dealers at TFCon 2009". Absolutely great deals there.

[TJOmega]

Yeah, he still looks like an out of work Ronald McDonald... or how Ronald McDonald SHOULD look after 40 years of fast food.

[sabre1080]

id like to think of him as a G2 animated ratchet.

[DontExplaintheJoke31]

The bit at the end just killed me!

Also, though I've been following your reviews for quite some time, I think this is the first time I've ever commented. So I'd just like to say that I really enjoy your reviews, Their informative without being boring, and funny without detracting from the actual review. Keep up the good work man!

[grimwolf100]

lol emo ratchet

[NeiliusPrime]

nice review, but i can't help but say that the yellow panels on the vehicle mode are missing some sort of logo or color or something

[UltraMarcus28]

i actually like him, its a fun little ratchet

[MrBlackMagnus]

I just finally saw a rescue vechile that shared Ratchets deco in the movie, while not a Hummer, it was a very large, offroad Chevy C4500. Had I not been running late for work and driving I woulda snapped a pic. Well. anyway great review Vang!

[jiidee]

Emo ratchet is Emo.

Those aren't Electromagnets in his forearms, they're cutteRrRs!

The good thing is once hes cut himself up some, he can then patch himself back up. Its a vicious cycle of self hate and a lack of moral fibre.

[ProtoRetro]

Oh Vang with your fanon......

I love how the thumbnail for the video looks like the original paint deco a bit.

[benderchump]

His robot mode looks like a rubber ducky crossed with zartan.

[isaaccb]

This comment made my day. So true!!! XD

[JediJennifer]

hope i don't grow a third arm... 1080p seems just fine but it takes forever to load xD

[Fauxmunculus]

Poor Rescue Ratchet. He's had a hard life.

[Kongu954]

His alt mode looks like a Twinkie, $5 is still too much. I agree with subtitles on this one man ;)

[kinglaffo]

I adore the abstract routes you take to enjoy your toys at times, as I often find myself justifying them similarly.

I proudly own one of these. It's like Animated G2 or some shit. At this point I don't even think he looks so bad. He's fucking Lemon Ratchet. Lemon is god damn delicious.

GOOD REVIEW, YOU'RE HI-DEF BRO

[MrSkywarp]

Gott his guy on clearance at Zellars, basically the price of two legends . . . what I actually wanted out of his box.

Didnt notice till now, he does look more depressed then the regular colours ratchet :P

[arlocon]

Looks like he is holding bannanas now,

[Toydude1984]

He doesn't look too bad, but I still wouldn't buy him!
