Kapow Toys have posted a gallery of the upcoming Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Autobot Ratchet on their Facebook page. You can see some nice robot and vehicle mode images of the new Ratchet, along with an excellent comparison of this version of the Autobot medic alongside the Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe, showing just how completely different the two toys are.

Looks good. It's a shame he is not a voyager.

Same here – I'd much rather have the blade by itself – maybe stored in alt mode on top of the spare tire…

I think with some Radicon work, he could be made to look pretty cool.

I wish I could find one – I don't think they ever came to Northern Va and now they're going on Ebay for ridiculous amounts. Fer example:

If the toy is good, who cares about the size? Are you buying your toys by weight/volume?

The DOTM figures look great so far, but they're so small they just won't be worth the pricetag once they come out.

I don't know why but I really like him.he looks cool!

Overall I think I like this mold from what I see here. The simple fact that he has his blade weapon makes it worth the while for me. However, with Ratchet being one of my favorite characters… Especially in TF Prime… I am still hoping and praying like a little child that we eventually get a HA Ratchet or a decent redesign voyager Ratchet. With all the mold changes to Prime and Ironhide on the voyager scale, I am amazed that Ratchet still hasn't gotten a much more screen accurate mold.
I am going to go cry in the corner now until I get my way.

This would be a Ratchet I would keep in vehicle mode.

Compared to some of the other DotM figs I've seen, it doesn't look terrible. But the lack of paint apps and the fact that it's so small will keep me from wasting the money.

He needs paint. But that's an easy fix.
I'll be picking this one up. NEST Ratchet's robot mode was definitely more detailed, so this one's bot mode does feel a bit more simplistic. But the vehicle mode makes up for it.
And, like I said. Some paint.

pass, sorry.

While it's an alright figure, there's a few niggling details you'd think they would have sorted 3rd time around.
This is just one suggestion of how they could've approached part of the transformation:
It's a pretty crude demonstration, but it seems to me there's some relatively simple things they could've done to move towards a more accurate transformation.
If Ironhide gets 2 new molds, I think there's a reasonable chance Ratchet may get an additional upgrade. If so, there's a few things I want to see them get right once and for all.

Wow, Ratchet is roughly the size of the RotF one, and dwarfs Barricade there; Barricade is tiny!

The NEST Deluxe is still the only Ratchet figure I have, and I don't like the look of this one enough to add it to my collection. Gotta say – that's a nice Mechtech weapon, though.
neevnav
I think I will be buying this just for the MechTech weapon for Voyager Ratchet. Unless we can Radicon those wheels to fold down.
Draven
Not bad, but I'm happy with the NEST version. I wouldn't mind an updated Voyager Ratchet though.

Pass, just bought ROTF NEST deluxe

Woww!! that's a sick Ratchet hopefully they will use him as a model in the movie, cause i really didn't like what they did to him in robot mode, unlike now he's even got a gun on his roof

For me the original Voyager looks 100000% better.
