Ratchet is back in Desert Tracker version!This version has a few detail upgrades.Ratchet has a more detailed head sculpt with some sandblast shading on the doors of the Hummer H2 vehicle mode.The detail as usual is outstanding with Ratchet having realistic movie decor.The Hummer H2 mode detail includes having the pulse line along the side with the trademark autobot symbol on the door.Ratchet's paint job is a more military green in this version compared to the more neon green in the first version.Ratchet comes with the Roof Rack that converts to a shield or a combat stretcher for when he has to help a fellow autobot in battle.Ratchet also comes with a hidden axe for taking care of decepticons up close on one arm while he has a automorph forearm cannon feature on the other.The poseability on Ratchet is the best with him being able to assume many poses for displaying or creating multiple battle scenes.Ratchet has a very solid base with the best stability.The durability is excellent as well with Ratchet being able to handle whatever situation may arise.He is a very solid transformer overall in robot or Hummer H2 mode.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to help some in the process.Honestly Ratchet is very versatile for all ages.Just remember the bottom leg sections rotate around during the transformation.After a few times of practice all ages should be able to get the hang of it.Ratchet has always been a favorite and I'm glad to see such an improvement compared to the G1 figure.Ratchet is finally getting the respect he deserves.Bottom line is that Ratchet is a high quality,well-made,10 out of 10 transformer all fans should treasure.I highly recommend Desert Tracker Ratchet to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Ratchet Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of the four Autobots that survived to the end of the first Transformers movie in 2007- Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, and Bumblebee- Ratchet was the only one I didn't get in the Premium (extra-painted) series released towards the end of the first movie's toyline. This much shows in looking at him. His blocky vehicle mode makes him more of a mix between the blended-shrapnel look of the robots in the movie and the more traditional pile-of-blocks Transformers aesthetic. He looks less like the his screen incarnation than Transformers Movie 2 Leader Optimus Prime, Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Bumblebee Figure, and even the oddly-colored retool Transformers Movie 2 Voyager Iron Hide. But he's all the Ratchet you get until the third movie comes along, so love him or leave him. I do like the desaturated "desert" green better than than the brighter hues of previous versions of this toy- it just seems more "Michael Bay-like". And the dark grey plastic replacing the previous black for his "metal bits" is fine by me; it puts him in a transitional area, colorwise, between Optimus Prime on one side (light grey "metal"), Ironhide on the other (all black, in the original paint color).
Don't get me wrong, he's a fine toy. His transformation scheme is fairly simple, yet with lots of nice clicky bits as you snap things together. He's got some parts that are prone to falling off- the rear bumper of his truck mode tends to pop off the back of his knees if you bend them too much, and the H2-labeled undercarriage that covers his robot head in vehicle mode hangs awfully loose on mine. And of course, any detachable weapon- like his roof rack/grabber claw assembly- has good odds of getting lost. But even minus all of these, he's still a big chunky robot that turns into a big chunky truck. And for the robot-loving, toy-car-driving little kid in your life- or in your heart- what more could you want?

This is one of the best transformers I have had. The parts fit in perfectly. There is only one problem, the peices come off easily. Besides that, it is a really good toy.

Transforming back to vehicle
I bought this toy for my 7 yr old nephew who is a huge Transformers fan. He had to have help the first couple of time to transform back into the vehicle but was good after that. Read more

Son is happy. Transforms easily for him.
Couple things fall off easily but my son doesn't seem to mind. He's more in to the transformation experience as a whole and is happy with this one.

This horrible toy falls apart easily and is impossible to transform. I hate to say it but the transformers from the 80's were 100x better. Read more

Good buy.
My son loves his toy. The dimensions given appear to be the measurements of the packaging and not the toy itself. No bother, it's just a little bigger than his other Transformers. Read more
