I love how your toy reviews all have kind of a story arc. They all have escalating tension, a climax, and a sort of moral at the end. And it all comes off so effortless. Amazing!

I frankly love Bayverse Ratchet's design, it's a weird one but a fun one

There has been a rumor/theory going around that all of the NEST repaints were originally going to be Universal Park exclusives. Megatron was themed that way, but saw a general release, and then we got Bonecrusher and now Ratchet.

2007 Legends Ratchet was one of my first Transformers ever. Nostalgic to see him again.

Okay but "Hollowpoint" is a pretty good name for an interchangable Decepticon army builder.

Grey Ratchet looking at his previous, garish colour schemes: "I needed that..." 😢

“Koala Crescent Moon Stonehenge Lando Tetromino Oxbow Lake Ampersand Nesting Table Six” is a worthy successor to “Bumblebeans”.

I think that gag at around the 6:05 mark may be my new fave! LOOK OUT, IT'S THE KOALA CRESCENT MOON STONEHENGE LANDER TETROMINO OXBOW LAKE AMPERSAND NESTING TABLE SIX!

I was today years old when I found out about the scan series. You really never stop discovering new Transformers lines.

GeeWunners: “RaTcHeT iSn’T gReEn!” Hasbro: “Here, have a red one.”

I was not expecting a billy hatcher reference 😂 So long Baypril! It's been a blast!

As the author of said strategy guide, that lil shoutout was quite the pick-me-up. ;)

That hood flip the mech tech one does is kinda like the one MPM Jazz does. Kinda neat seeing that on a regular deluxe figure. On Jazz it's a kind of double flip around. like the inner part flips and the you flip the whole thing again.

Baypril was great fun and I hope we see it again. That era is both unfamiliar to me yet also where some of the toys I most remember from childhood came from, and as such it’s always interesting to see covered with such enthusiasm.

That NEST Ratchet looks like he'd pair nicely with 2007 Landmine

Baypril was a fantastic set of videos. I loved how each one had a distinctly different vibe going on with the movie theme linking them together. Thew videos are always great but it feels like we might be entering a real golden age of them.

That Spinister repaint post made irrationally angry 😂

The hood-torso-flip thing is REAL, you can actually see Ratchet do it twice in TF1! (Can't... tell if any of the other movements are consistent, but still!!)

I feel like Buzzworthy NEST Ratchet is like the 2007 “what if this car had a robot mode?” using the NEST Humvees from ROTF (and possibly DOTM) except the perfect alt mode just kinda turns into Ratchet again

If you want to be technical, we could always have another Bay themed month. Starting right now, we’re no longer in May. We’re now in… “Bay”

Hftd rescue ratchet (the g1 coloration of the transcan one) is my definitive movie ratchet, mostly because of nostalgia and because it was a gift from Grandpa almost a decade ago. I love that mold with all my being and even if mine has a broken skirt hinge, I still love it like it's a masterpiece.

Hi, post-G1 fan here. I bought Rescue Ratchet back when it came out because I thought Ratchet's on-screen colors were ugly. I still think that, in fact.

honestly that shade of nail polish is so good on you. like all shades. nail polish fits you amazingly

This format works! What a joy to see new vids weekly! Looking forward to more!

The first Ratchet you looked at was the first Transformers figure I ever had. It was cool to see your opinions on it

That guy who did the Spinister repaint must be real fun at parties. I mean, couldn't even take two minutes to pick out a contrasting color for the repaint. No, just olive drab all the way down like the world's most boring superhero, Captain Dullard.

Fun fact: I had the 07 rescue ratchet toy as a kid, and me being 4 I thought his full name was actually "rescue ratchet". So for a period of time I went around saying my favorite Autobot was Rescue Ratchet.

When I was little, I had a Voyager Ratchet. Something on it broke, but not enough to make me not love it, it was one of my favorites at the time. At one point my mom shipped a few of my broken figures to Hasbro, for repair/replacement, including Ratchet. When the box arrived, I was very excited to have Ratchet back, but I guess they didn't have one at the warehouse so they sent me Blackout. I hated Blackout for over 10 years because of that. I missed my Ratchet so bad, one time someone brought the Rescue Ratchet repaint for me to play with, and I low-key tried to steal it. But now I'm mold collecting Voyager Ratchet, and the only ones I'm missing are Night Ops and Rescue.

Seeing the NEST Ratchet repaint is actually pretty cool. Now I need to see the whole 2007 Autobot and Decepticon gang in this NEST livery.

That tiny half second Ratchet & Clank reference made me unreasonably happy. XD

Please, someone, need a screencap with Thew crossing his fingers for RotB not to suck!! xD Man, I really forgot about those repaints for Ratchet. The semitransparent one is really cool! :D

Growing up I wanted that G1 colored movie Ratchet so bad. Thanks for the great review!

Your wordplay is always phenomenal when describing these toys. I love it

Somehow I did not realize that I was actually the one who sent him the red Ratchet from dark of the moon he said my name and everything. I had to go back to the damnit open to be sure. Well I feel silly and honored lol. Thank you Thew and for the record I would not mind seeing a review of Evac lol.

Honestly I like those box backdrops since they give you a little display piece for the figure if you so desire to keep it.

I love Bayverse Ratchet. I had the 07 legends class figure that was a g1 repaint and came with Brawl, which was my first Transformers figure ever. I also have the DOTM deluxe, which may be one of my favorite transformers figure ever. Ratchet is also one of my favorite Transformers character and design ever. I always had and will love him. RIP Ratchet.

Today, I learned that SS Rachet is just a repainted Specialist Rachet with a redesigned backpack and some new forearms/leg plates.

The nostalgia for some of these figures. Movie Ratchet is probably my favourite out of all the Bayverse designs and characters, maybe aside from Barricade in the 07 film. And despite not doing a whole lot throughout all the movies he was in, his death saddened me more than Ironhides weirdly, everything up to being unceremoniously executed was way more brutal than Sentinel's point-blank shot with a cannon that gradually rusts a victim.

Thanks for Baypril, Thew! Was nice watching a whole month of toys I don't want to buy (not being snarky just like saving money)

One of my favorite toys and movie characters when I was a kid

I really enjoyed Baypril and I was hoping for it to continue into May and be called Mayverse 😂

"Am I being a Geewunner about reality?" It's called getting old, Thew. We all get there eventually.

14:33-14:37 “i’M a tRuE tRAnSfOrmErs FaN!”

Great way to end off the month. Never came across any of the unusual repaints, but have the original release from all 3 original movies. As much as I still love the chunk of 07 voyager Ratchet, the DOTM deluxe release was pretty much perfect though the peg on the original mech tech weapon broke off as it was molded gold probably. Kind of explains why the Buzzworthy opted for a different weapon all together from one of the other deluxes. Really wish Hasbro had given this guy the Human Alliance treatment during the ROTF subline as that could have been amazing. As for May, would be hilarious to see an ROTF twins roundup as a memorial as they'll probably never see a Studio Series release.

Coincidentally, Thew's nails complement the green figures nicely.

Honestly my favourite Ratchet moment was in one of the tie-in novels, where he protects a dam in South America. Dang, wish I got a toy of this lad.

11:46 I heavily believe that nest ratchet is just there for people who never got the molds. Same with Bonecrusher and Jeep Bee. So I have head canoned all of them to be Sector seven allied mercenaries

Tie-in Game Strategy Guide: “Ratchet doesn’t like hurting people!” Movie: *Ratchet actively encouraging Ironhide to kill Sam’s parents*

Best Buy Premium Finish Ratchet is still one of my favorite Bayformer figures. And there aren't many.

The rescue ratchet is the childhood ratchet I grew up on. I love that I grew up on a blend between Michal bay and G1

Nice job as always! Played with my rescue ratchet so much when I was younger, love that guy, lost one of his arms

That was a fun review. I think I had all the ratchets in this review. It was nice seeing the white and red ratchets.

Had to rewind the hieroglyph gag twice to fully appreciate it, bravo

zoomer here, 07 Rescue Ratchet was my first transformers toy and I still have him! I loved him when I got him for Christmas that year and I love him today, just a big chunky fun robot

That specialist ratchets head just makes me think of the weird parrot thing from pirates of darkwater

I’m not the only one who heard “Rat-shit” and least a few times right? Lol

Ratchet is my favourite transformer, probably because of Prime

Funny thing, the 07 voyager Ratchet was actually the first Transformers toy I ever owned as a kid, I remember I literally brought him everywhere I went. Really regret giving him away though, hoping to one day find one again

I am very thankful for this review I had a movie ratchet as a kid and to know what it was makes me really happy the only thing is that all I have of it is the roof of the truck

Baypril was fun!

I want a shirt of… Whatever Thew said in that rear-view mirror view.

We love Ratchet in this household

Recently got OG 2007 Voyager Rescue Ratchet. Been hunting for a long time for him. I think I'm in Love

Nothing for ages then Thew just waps it out on the table every week for a month 🎉

I might look for that Buzzworthy Ratchet. I don't own a single Movie Ratchet toy because the Michael Bay movies are a crime against humanity, but that grey guy isn't even *trying* to be Ratchet so I can just assume that he's another character entirely and enjoy a transforming truckbot.

The legends Ratchet is genuinely pretty good. He just unfolds and folds up again, happy brain chemicals deployed.

Am I the only one who noticed Prime Ratchet in the background? He's in ambulance mode next to Thew's personalized 3D printed Decepticon symbol.

Please do a continuation of this. Maychael Bay maybe?

My first ever Transformer was a movie Ratchet! Also, know that purple ambulances are a thing.

This is a rare Thew collection episode where I have gotten my hands on almost every toy in the video!

I wish the was a reissue of the clear plastic one without the clear plastic It actually looks really good and pretty fun!!

I would totally like to pick up Rescue Ratchet and swap the head and make that my staple Ratchet. He just works for me for some reason.

12:08 Me too. I never use the backdrops. I just throw them out with the rest of the box.

07 Rescue Ratchet was my first Transformer ever

I really wish that Specialist Ratchet had come with the Buzzsaw, that weapon is tons of fun, but the mould lokks way better in red.

Ah, '07 Rescue Ratchet. One of my first Transformers ever. And I broke it in the first week because I was a very stupid 7-year-old who couldn't figure out the windshield. Still love it to bits, though.

I have that red and white one I like to call him Santa Ratchet (Satchet?, Ranta?)

The gray Spinister made my stomach flip with anxiety. The tism can’t handle change

2007 Rescue Ratchet = GOAT Ratchet

WHAT DID THAT GUY DO TO THAT POOR SPINISTER

Baypril was so much fun! All of these videos were a blast! I think Thew has really hit his groove with these, he's having a blast and I'm here for it. Get in!

i'm that post-g1 fan! yeah. the red and white looks a lot better cos it really makes him seem more like a medic. i've never seen a lime green ambulance

14:28 NEMESIS RATCHET

Well color me impressed, Baypril has managed to stick in April before month is wrapped up. This was giggle to follow.

The movie 1 voyager ratchet is probably one of those toys I wanna own again from my childhood, it was the only movie toy (specifically the g1 redeco) that stayed in good condition so I gotta say it was a quite a well built guy among toys that held together pretty great. I was very much that kid who was rather rough with my toys growing up until I lost it during a move along with HA Barricade and HA skids around 2010. god I miss those toys so much.

voyager has the mid section transformed backwards, it should look a lot nicer and have the windshield on his back, with even faux bumper details to make it look like its not backwards 😂

I customized my nest ratchet to have splashes of green because while i like what they were going for but he needed some color

5:38 I don't agree with your take on the colors for GDO Ironhide (I think the red looks awful, G1 reference or otherwise), but Ratchet objectively looks spangly in gleaming white and red. This has been my default movie Ratchet for well over a decade and that ain't changing, even if SS gets off its ass and makes a similar one.

it would be funny if in some comic Ratchet got a little fox animal friend and He named it Clank

the dig at the spinister custom 💀💀💀💀💀

14:36 I actually think thats badass. A lot of people were saying that its a G1 version of Bayverse Blackout. So thats what it is to me lol, I think he actually pulled it off fantastically. Good review btw!

Come for the Transformers, stay for the GameCube references. This is the Thew way.

Thew you could review a rock and you'd make it entertaining, I just love your content

The movie ratchets, even in super size have been hidden gems for me. Excellent tribute to the misunderstood medic no one asked for but 3% of us wanted and didnt even know it.

Fun fact: The earliest design of 2007 movie Ratchet had the same color-scheme as DOTM Specialist Ratchet toy!

I had the black repaint as a kid :)

It took me a little bit to adapt to the green ratchet as i love the classic medic ambulance colors! They fit him perfectly! don't really have many movie ratchets, but i have the original 2007 legends class and the voyager figure and he's great! Tons of chunky fun! He's really blocky, but i like it! It gives him that transformers 2005 unicron trilogy era vibe! My cousin had the more G1 accurate white and red version! Good stuff and good times! Love ya, thew! ❤️😁🥲👍🏻 i remember the old game and i was kinda sad you couldn't play as him! You could in the ROTF game, fortunately!

Okay but "Hollowpoint" is a sick ass Transformer name to be fair

Oof. "Macho tryhard fan character named Hollowpoint..." Totally didn't send that name in for the blue Warpath poll... Totally...

I found that red ratchet some time ago but he was missing a leg. Good ole foreshadowing
