Now I just got Ratchet in the mail today from Entertainment Earth along with the rest of the Studio Series Bumblebee figures. And I cannot wait to check him out. He looks awesome. Very unique look for Ratchet. So taking a quick look at the packaging. Transformers Studio Series 82 Bumblebee Movie Ratchet there behind the plastic. Some great looking artwork of Ratchet right there. This side of the box, a close-up of Ratchet's face Studio Series 82. Back of the box, you've got Ratchet's unique looking ambulance mode. His robot mode and a picture of the backdrop. The side of the box here, another picture or artwork of Ratchet in robot mode. So now without further ado, let's get this doctor opened up out of the packaging and check him out. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. I just wanted to point out real quick that all of these Studio Series Bumblebee Movie deluxe figures all have the same backdrop. It's this Cybertronian battle scene with the bridge. So 80, 81 and 82 all have the same backdrop. The more you know. Now once you get Ratchet all opened up and out of the packaging you'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions. That as usual is very well illustrated and that's it. These are not easy to follow at all. He also comes with his Cybertronian stethoscope. So you got that going on and it actually looks like quite a powerful stethoscope. And then of course you've got Ratchet himself. Now right out of the packaging there is an issue with Ratchet, at least mine. I mean check this out. This figure has looser hips than Shakira. Oh shit, sorry. Now aside from that Ratchet looks great and is a spitting image of how he looked in the Bumblebee Movie. For all three seconds he was in it. He's got a great face sculpt with actually some decent light piping right there. I always appreciate a figure with good light piping. Nice paint applications up there for the crest, silver face. Got some red accents up there on the shoulder, some gray here on the forearms. Love the chest. Usually I'm not a big fan of translucent plastic but it looks really good on Ratchet there. With all the different angles. I love that. That actually looks really good. It's got an Autobot symbol right there. Red for the abs, moving on down. Lots of great sculpted detail all over. Little bit of gray down there on the calves. He's got faux wheels here on the outside of the leg with the real vehicle wheels there on the inside and red accents around the ankles. As far as articulation is concerned, Ratchet's head is on a ball joint. Can look up, can look down, do a complete 360 if you wish. The arms can do a complete 360 as well. But they are going to hit this little back panel right here if you're not careful. There's also a bicep rotation, bicep bend. Arms can go out, they can go in. There is no wrist rotation. There is a little bit of an ab side to side ab crunch with Ratchet and waist rotation. Hips you saw, very loose. Legs forward, legs back out and in. There's also a rotation right there at the thigh. Knee bend and ankle tilt. So lots of articulation for this guy. Now let's bring in his stethoscope and yes, I know it's a gun. I'm just being me. Gun looks really good. Big old massive firepower here for Ratchet. You can put it in his hand as so. Peg's right in there so Ratchet is all armed and ready for battle. Or you can store it on his back. He's got a square port right there that you match up with that square peg on the gun. And there you go. So Ratchet can store his weapon so he can work on some Autobots. Now let's get Ratchet transformed into his vehicle mode. Now the first thing you're going to do is remove the weapon. If you have that attached and go ahead and place that to the side. Now take his fists and fold those up into his forearms. Flip the figure around and unpeg these panels here on the back. Now you're going to lift this section here up over his head. And then unpeg this section here at the waist. And just pretty much unfold Ratchet like so. Now down here on the feet, you're going to take the feet. Fold those up into the shins like so. Then you're going to take the legs and rotate them at the thigh just like that. Take the real wheels and rotate these forward. So you've got this little peg right here facing front. Go ahead and do that here for the other one as well. And now what you want to do is kind of put Ratchet in a sitting position as you fold the feet up. So the feet are going to kind of go up over his waist plate. So when you turn him around, make sure you've got this little section right here facing up. So this is actually going to be the bottom of the vehicle now. Now you're going to rotate this section around here bringing this up. So you've got this little circle section here now facing forward as well. Bring this section here out and over. And this is going to peg in right here to these little slots right below the ankles. There's two translucent pegs right there. If you see them, go ahead and get those pegged in. Sometimes easier said than done. And now once you have that pegged in, the front of the vehicle is done. And I discovered earlier that Ratchet has a hidden third mode. If you extend these sections out right here, rotate that around. There is Ratchet's flight mode. I am just kidding, of course. But I wouldn't be surprised if all my 3D printing buddies can't figure out a way to make that something. So there you go. Ratchet in shuttlecraft mode. So let's go ahead and finish transforming Ratchet. Now you got him looking like this. Go ahead and fold that down like so. And then you're going to bring the panels to the side. And this has actually proved to be difficult sometimes, is you got this peg right here. You want to line it up right there if you see that. So go ahead, get that pegged in. It alternates with this figure every time I transform it. Sometimes it's easy to pop in. Other times it is not. Get that pegged in. Go ahead and line this all up. And my wheel moved. You want to make sure that little peg right there lines up so you can peg it into that side panel. And we're going to do the same thing over here on this side. Get the arm out of the way. Fold this forward. It's a little tight. Because once you get one side pegged in, it makes it kind of difficult to get the other side in. So that's pegged in and good to go. Now you've got the arms here. And if you look, there are little pegs on the arms right there. They're going to line up to those slots there on his feet. So just get those lined up and pegged in place. They're going to make sure everything is tabbed together securely. And there you have ratchet in his vehicle mode. And that is actually a pretty cool looking vehicle. I love the front. Like I said, I just really dig that look with the translucent windows. And just like the others, he rolls good enough if you can get those arms to peg in nice and tight. They do tend to pop out. So you want to watch for that. Now let's see. We'll go ahead and grab his gun. And you can peg that in right here on top of the figure. And now we have some type of combat battle ambulance and I dig it. That looks really, really cool aside from the clipped on wheels. I really wish they would get rid of these clipped on wheels, but I dig it. This is a really cool looking Cybertronian vehicle and lots of nice molded details all over it. You know, toy hacks is going to do something really special for this guy. So there you go guys. There is ratchet in vehicle mode. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is Transformers Studio Series 82 Ratchet with Generation 1 Optimus Prime, Generation 1 Ratchet, Siege Ratchet and Earthrise Ratchet. Now aside from some loose hips, Studio Series 82 Ratchet is another great deluxe figure that finishes up a really good line consisting of Studio Series 80 Braun and Studio Series 81 Wheeljack. Now originally as I stated before, I had no interest in getting these Studio Series figures, but the Bumblebee movie ones have absolutely killed it. Ratchet's robot mode looks great. The transformation is fun once you figure it out and I really dig his alt mode. And for you customizers out there who have always complained that we've never got a proper Cybertronian mode Wheeljack, I want to see one of you guys take Wheeljack's head, put it on Ratchet's body, and there you have with a little bit of paint the van mode from Season 1 of the original cartoon show. So there you go guys. Transformers Studio Series 82 Ratchet. So does a Transformers Studio Series 82 Bumblebee movie Ratchet belong in your collection? Well if you're a Studio Series fan or a fan of Ratchet, absolutely. I love this little figure. He is so cool. The robot mode looks amazing. The transformation is funky and the vehicle mode is awesome. I really dig it. My only complaint with this figure of course is this. The legs and hips are just ridiculously loose. He actually had a hard time standing in some shots for the video. So that's disappointing considering the other two Studio Series figures that he came with were great. I mean they were awesome with very tight joints and I couldn't be happier. This guy is a floppy mess. But that's nothing a little floor polish won't fix. Now, question. Would you guys like to see a video on how I use floor polish to fix a loose figure like that? Let me know in the comments. Still, that being said, if you see a Studio Series 82 Ratchet on the shelf, pick him up. You're not going to be disappointed and hopefully yours won't be as loose as mine.
