Legends Class toys

Hasbro might have fixed the green color, but nobody told them to fix the hue settings for the official promo photos.

• Autobot Ratchet (Legends Class, 2007)
  • Japanese name: EZ Collection Ratchet

An inexpensive, small-scale version of Ratchet, he remains relatively faithful to his vehicle mode (though highly simplified), but transforms very differently due to his simplicity. In robot mode he has a faux truck-front chest that's more faithful to the CGI design than the Voyager toy's chest, but the rest of his robot mode is (understandably) inaccurate and limited in articulation.

His spare tire, mounted on the rear end of his roof in vehicle mode, is actually a free-spinning wheel just like the normal four (albeit with a somewhat stiffer joint), and the same size as the front wheels... meaning that, in theory, it could be used as an actual spare tire.

He's feeling a little green around the manifolds.

The original production run of the toy sported a significantly wrong shade of green. A running change variant that quickly replaced the original version corrected the error, now sporting the same shade of green as the Voyager Class toy. Still, the color variant was not limited to the US market, as both versions also popped up in Europe. Japan, however, got stuck with the original, off-color version.

The Doctor vs. the Warrior.

• Rescue Ratchet vs. Decepticon Brawl (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2007)

Released as part of the AllSpark Battles refresh of the Movie toyline, Legends class Rescue Ratchet is, naturally, a redeco of the previously-released Legends class Ratchet in his white Generation 1-inspired colors. He comes packed with an all-new sculpt Legends class Brawl.

Voyager Class toys

This green is both NEON and PLAYSKOOL!

• Autobot Ratchet (Voyager Class, 2007)
  • Japanese ID number: MA-02
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

Voyager Movie Ratchet transforms into a AM General Hummer H2, customised as a fire search and rescue vehicle. Ratchet is also missing significant amounts of paint applications, with unpainted wheels, emergency tools, and light details, as well as an underpainted face, resulting in a rather monochromatic toy.

During transformation, unfolding his legs will activate his Automorphing feature, which folds out his kneepads and feet, and 'bulges' out two small panels along his inner calves. The only Autobot toy to not feature a ranged weapon, Ratchet's right forearm unfolds into an axe (based upon a weapon concept study), and the removable rollbar/roof rack can either be mounted on his left arm as a shield/claw, or stored on his back.

Oddly, although Ratchet's thumbs are articulated, space is so restricted that they are all but useless. His left thumb can only move a millimeter due to his wrist armour getting in the way. His right thumb does have more space to move, but pushing it will invariably disengage the fold-out axe from his forearm.

Ratchet can attach (loosely) a Mini-Con on the rollbar/roof rack, and can hold a standard weapon via the shield/claw mount.

Hasbro proving that anything looks better as a slavish G1 homage.

• Rescue Ratchet (Voyager Class, 2007)
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

Rescue Ratchet is an extensive redeco based in part upon Generation 1 Ratchet's Marvel Comics appearance. Aside from the deco and name change, the toy is otherwise the same in functionality to the previous Voyager class release.

Oddly for a deco described as being more likely for the type of vehicle, Rescue Ratchet's vehicle mode—a fire search and rescue vehicle—is prominently labeled "AMBULANCE" on the doors and the hood.

This same deco was adapted and used as an alternate for Ratchet in the multiplayer mode for the Revenge of the Fallen game.

And yet they've done nothing to put better coloring on my legs....

• Autobot Ratchet (Best Buy exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

Ratchet was one of the first figures in the Premium Series, released on October 16th, 2007 exclusively at Best Buy for the launch of the Transformers movie DVD. Ratchet's main plastic has been changed to a metallic yellow, with an additional coat of metallic yellow paint over the top of those parts (and others), resulting in a much more accurate colour scheme in relation to the actual Movie character and prop vehicle.

Ratchet was presented in robot mode, within a special display package similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of Generation 1 Masterpiece Starscream. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging, as the Premium Series wasn't officially announced until after Ratchet and Megatron had already been released to stores.

Fast Action Battlers

An axe that shoots missiles. Seriously.

• Axe Attack Autobot Ratchet (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
  • Japanese ID number: QC-03
  • Accessories: Missile

Fast Action Battlers Ratchet is a small, deluxe-sized figure with limited articulation and a simple transformation. He features a spring-loaded missile-firing axe, a "robot punch" gimmick, and automorphing. To activate the "robot punch", one must twist and release Ratchet's torso. An inner spring will cause it to snap back to (more or less) anatomical position. His front grille can be rotated 180 degrees, which powers the automorphing feature, and causes Ratchet's front fenders, doors, and roof to separate during transformation from vehicle to robot and form his shoulders and arms (and vice versa). Unfortunately, this sacrifices show accuracy, as the grille ends up right-side up, while the rest of his alt mode cab remains upside-down.

In vehicle mode the missile stows handily underneath Ratchet's chassis.

• Rescue Torch Ratchet (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
  • Accessories: Missile

Rescue Torch Ratchet is a Generation 1 Ratchet-themed redeco of Axe Attack Ratchet, with a deco similar to Voyager Class Rescue Ratchet.

Cyber Slammers

Even the Throttlebots didn't want me.

• Autobot Ratchet (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

Cyber Slammers Ratchet is a cute little super-deformed Hummer H2 that transforms into a cute little super-deformed Autobot medical officer. 'Slam' his robot mode down into van mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into vehicle mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ratchet manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

Titanium Series

Ratchet rejects your measly attempts to paint his face.

• Autobot Ratchet (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
  • Accessories: Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand

Titanium Ratchet is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. For some odd reason most of his face is left unpainted. Ratchet comes with a Movie-style Autobot symbol display stand.

Revenge of the Fallen

Legends Class toys

Just as Don and Andrew foretold!

• Autobot Ratchet (Legends, 2009)
  • Japanese ID number: EZ-07

This Legends class Ratchet is a tan redeco (sigh) of Ratchet's 2007 Legends class Toy.

Deluxe Class toys

I have a waist-coat!

• Autobot Ratchet (Deluxe, 2009/2010)
  • Japanese ID number: RA-28
  • Accessories: EMP Blaster, EMP Blast Missile

Deluxe class Ratchet is an all-new mold that is more accurate to Ratchet's final robot mode design when compared to his Voyager class toys. However, his vehicle mode has been changed to something akin to a military Humvee, albeit in Ratchet's distinctive emergency rescue regalia. He also features a new "launching EMP blast missile"-launcher weapon that resembles the arm-mounted machine gun that Ratchet uses in the films. Ratchet's Mech Alive feature is unlocked when the missile launcher is plugged into his arm, in which gearing moves pieces into place around the weapon as it's locked into place. His chest also has an Automorph-like rearrangement of his chest-mounted headlights into robot mode configuration as his abdomen is pushed down into place. Ratchet's head has the peculiar feature of having two ball joint sockets stacked one atop the other- there is the shallow socket that his head is set at in the package which allows superior mobility, then a deeper one that limits head movement but conceals his neck joint. The deeper socket can be used by pushing the head down. Sadly, a running change in his design eliminates one of the ball joints, making his head basically unposeable.

The missile launcher weapon can also be attached to Deluxe Lockdown, echoing the interactive features of their Animated counterparts' toys. Likewise, Lockdown's engine can plug into Ratchet's rooftop, but that looks kinda doofy.

Voyager Class toys

What the hell, Hasbro? You couldn't afford the other half of the emergency stripe?

• Desert Tracker Ratchet (Voyager, 2009)
  • Japanese ID number: RA-08
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

Ratchet is a barely redecoed version of the Voyager class Ratchet toy released in 2007, the only new decos being the change of his black plastic to dark grey and a "dirt" spray on his doors and shoulders. In a probable effort to cut costs, Hasbro has removed several decos that existed on the 2007 toy, such as half of the Emergency stripe on the sides of the vehicle, the red paint for the light bar and the turn signal lights.

Oh. So Desert Tracker Ratchet was desert-tracking Grindor? Okay.

• Surface To Air Showdown (Voyager class 2-pack, 2009)
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

A Costco-exclusive two-pack featuring Ratchet squaring off against Grindor, strangely reminiscent of Ratchet's fight with Blackout in the Transformers: Autobots Nintendo DS game. Both toys remain unchanged from their individual retail release.

Fast Action Battlers

Lol @ Voyager, I have more paint apps than you!

• Beam Blast Autobot Ratchet (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
  • Accessories: Missile

This toy is a redeco of the 2007 Fast Action Battlers Autobot Ratchet, now done in a sort of "impractical army" camouflage colour scheme.

Robot Replicas

Damn it Prime, I'm a doctor not a gunslinger!

• Autobot Ratchet (Robot Replica, 2009)

Robot Replicas Ratchet is a non-transforming, highly posable toy intended to be more accurate to Ratchet's CGI robot-mode than transforming toys are capable of. Ratchet is approximately five inches tall and features articulation at his neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, knees and feet.

Titanium Series

• Rescue Ratchet vs. Blackout (3-inch Robot Masters multi-pack, 2009)
  • Accessories: Movie Autobot sigil display stand

This Toys"R"Us-exclusive set features a redecoed version of 2007's Titanium Series Ratchet in white with red detailing and an unchanged version of Blackout.

Transformers (2010)

Legends Class toys

Deluxe Class toys

• Rescue Ratchet (Deluxe, 2010)
  • Accessories: EMP Blaster, EMP Blast Missile

Rescue Ratchet is a white and red redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class Ratchet. Much like the many Rescue Ratchets from the 2007 Movie line, his color scheme is heavily inspired by Generation 1 Ratchet's Marvel Comics appearance.

Voyager Class toys

"A redeco that isn't white and red! THANK PRIMUS!"

• Night Ops Ratchet (Voyager, 2010)
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

Night Ops Ratchet is a mostly black redeco of Voyager class Ratchet, somewhat similar to the second RPM Ratchet. He is somewhat mistransformed in-package and in Hasbro's stock photos, as his windshield pieces remain over his abdomen in robot mode, not rotated around behind.

• Autobot Ratchet (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
  • Japanese ID number: DA06
  • Accessories: MechTech cannon/power saw

As part of the first wave of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class toys, Ratchet is a new mold deluxe. As part of the MechTech series, he comes with a lever-activated flip-out spinning saw blade weapon. The weapon is compatible with any 5mm port, and Ratchet has ports in each of his fists, on the back of his vehicle mode, on each of his shins, and on top of both of his shoulders.

• Autobot Ratchet (Deluxe, 2011)
  • Accessories: EMP Blaster, EMP Blast Missile

This redeco of Deluxe class Revenge of the Fallen Ratchet is exclusive to Toys"R"Us' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him trans-scanning his vehicle mode. As such, the rear half of his vehicle mode (and thus, part of his robot mode) is cast in translucent plastic.

Voyager Class toys

• Autobot Ratchet (Voyager, 2011)
  • Accessories: Roof rack/claw

This Target-exclusive Ratchet is a redeco of the Voyager class mold that has been used since the 2007 Transformers toyline. In this release, Ratchet is decked out in his new colour scheme for Dark of the Moon, but is otherwise physically unchanged from previous releases.

Merchandise

3D Battle-Card Game

• Ratchet (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
  • Card number:

Ratchet is a 28-point "Rare" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his rescue truck mode or robot mode. In vehicle mode, his robot head peeps out behind the truck in a rather hilarious manner. He uses the same construction as the Movie Payload, and Generation 1 Trailbreaker cards.

Transformers (2007)

The irony that the medic gets firearm merchandise, though the weapons specialist doesn't.

• Ratchet AllSpark Blaster (2008)

The Ratchet AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a a blaster attached to Ratchet's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to battle cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features features siren and laser sounds and a "triple laser light", while the battle cannon mode has cannon blasting sounds and a "weapon-blast light".

Unleashed

Their descision to light a campfire in the Ruby Crystal Mines of Burma really pissed Ratchet off......

• Autobot Ratchet and Autobot Jazz (2008)

The Ratchet and Jazz turnaround is a 3D sculpture of the two characters, both in robot mode, emerging from rubble and explosions, with a movie-accurate sculpt (compared to the various transforming toys). The 'turnaround' aspect of these sculptures simply means one can turn the piece around to display a raised-relief of the movie-style Autobot sigil instead.

This product's release was cancelled for the US market, but was released in Central America, Australia and in Asia.

Transformers Movie Screen Cleaners

• The Final Battle (2008)

Sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores, this release of Ratchet is a repaint of the first Robot Heroes toy. Sold with redecoed Autobot Jazz, Blackout, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, no molding was changed on this toy. However, the figure boasts an "Allspark blue" paint job, which swaps out a few of the toy's original decos with the bright blue paint instead.

Packaged in a set depicting the battle in Mission City with Decepticon Brawl, Megatron, plus new figures of Sam Witwicky, Optimus Prime in truck mode, Starscream in fighter mode and Bumblebee in vehicle mode, this Ratchet Heroes figurine has the circular saw on his arm that he uses to slice off Brawl's left arm.
