Great figure. Poseability looks pretty good with this line.
To think we only have to wait 4 more months (almost) before we see these in stores. The anticipation is rough.

I am seriesly considering going to collect the whole line of Animated if the figures continue to look like this.
must resist urge to buy toys.

Fantastic figure. One of the strongest deluxes in the line IMO.

well, Animated Ratchet not bad…may be i'll get 1 but not too fast.

Well, the movie line is a different enough style that repainting from other lines seemed unlikely, but BAM! – store exclusive Energon and Cybertron repaints.
I don't expect repaints from other lines in Animated, but I wouldn't rule it out for sure. I do expect at least a few in-line repaints, just 'cause that's how Hasbro does things. The molds are all rather distinctive, so I don't know whether to expect new characters or new takes on old ones (Do we get "Cliffjumper" or "Stealth Rocketeer Bumblebee"? )
Incepticon
I didn't say they would want to. I just expanded upon nkelsch's comments that at least the possibility of it happening in this series isn't there thanks to the drastic design differences.
NGW
He looks good.
Though I will say he looks lame with all of his tools behind him, I dunno….
REDLINE
Why would they want to? That's what they'll do in the upcoming Universe line that runs parallel with this one.

Simply amazing. I think I'm more excited about Ratchet than any other TFA figure (with the possible exception of Leader Bulkhead).
Aww, man. They released the official bucket already? I missed it.
Heh.
Hehehehehehehehehhh!
(And I LIKE Armada Smokescreen.)
Feralstorm
Ya know, Armada Smokescreen looks a little bit "Animated" in style.
Turcicus
I've loved every Animated toy I've seen so far, but this one is the weakest for me. It just doesn't seem as clean as the rest. But that ain't gonna stop me from buyin' it!!
Incepticon
That's actually a VERY good point. While I expect a couple of molds to eventually be repainted into other characters, there's no way they can do it with shitty leftover A/E/C molds and pass them off as "new" Animated figures the same way they have done with Classics, Movie & Universe. That'll be a nice and equally welcomed change of pace.

Agreed! I wish they would make him into a Voyage instead of just a deluxe.

Well, in Ratchet's case, the "flabby tire love handles" are intentional
artiepants
WOOWZERS!!! that one takes everything that was crappy about Armada/Energon (gigantic car box torsos complete with flabby tire love handles) and filters it through everything that is crappy about Animated.
epic fail.
Dropshot
You just gotta love the number of animated molds that have articulated hands.

Not bad. Should fix his horn though in the show and on figure.
