ThePOKOkitty pretty much. I hate store exclusive stuff. Because it only leads to scalpers and now Ratchet is $30+ on ebay before shipping. I can only hope they do a Earthrise remold of him.
@@FluffyCajun The only store exclusives stuff I can ever find is target exclusive stuff. I can't find any of the 35th anniversary walmart exclusives, can't find any Walgreens exclusives. But the seeker 3 pack? Yeah, my target had 1 after I bought mine. a month later they had 2. By early December they accumulated 6. Then before christmas they marked all Transformers down a bit and all that is left are warrior class Cyberverse Slipstream and Windblade.
FilthyGaming jesus. My walmart is so full of the 35th anni figures they marked them down. My target has never had any figures except cyberverse and studio and they marked those down 20% the past two weeks
Another good figure and review. Wasn't so sure abut getting Crosshairs but when I did biy was I impressed! Very nice addition to my still growing collection!
I will always know Crosshairs as that one Autobot that did the cool slide in The Rebirth's theme song before being tackled by a Decepticon. Always thought he looked really cool, and that The Rebirth shouldn't have been the end of G1.
My guess is that at some point Crosshairs one was going to be Walgreens exclusive while Ratchet - regular release, but by mistake these two swapped places (jk). I have no sentiment towards G1 Crosshairs, so this one for me is just lazy repaint (with very minor retool) painted by colorblind person (that vehicle mode is colorful mess, ugh). @2:53 - unfortunately, that pose exposes greatest flaw of this mold - hollow forearms. @5:13 - I had the same issue with Ironhide, to the point I had to disassemble figure (removing front wheels and 3 screws) and get that peg sanded a bit - it was locked so tightly it was impossible to rotate that part.
If you are having trouble with the back of the Ironhide mold splitting apart, I've actually found it's due to the Orientation of the fists being wrong. Even if you are doing the Transformation as the directions state, you should try rotating the fists to all 4 possible positions and seeing if that helps.
The head retool is nice, the paint job is nice, robot mode looks very similar to G1... but it's the exact same weapon as Ironhide. There's not enough difference for me to buy the mold a third time when I already have Ironhide and Ratchet. Speaking of, the white is really nice on Ratchet, but also white is very... neutral. Fortunately we have Repolabels to help.
Ik this is late but the possibility and joints aren't bad if it might just be ur copy or may e I got lucky but from what I've seen I haven't had any problems with the crosshairs figure
I really like this mold, but I hate the huge flaps that hang off of the outsides of the legs. They never peg in well, and even when they do they still look out of place on an otherwise perfect robot mode.
Hilariously, I picked this guy up today, and then I got home and saw this video. I like him, he's my first of this mold, and yeah, I gotta get Ironhide now.
Nice review! Luckily, for my Crosshairs he came out perfect. If I find a Ratchet, I will let you know and sell him for regular retail. I just saw a few at my local Walgreens. I wish I had known, I had 3.
I don't care to buy the Takara version of Titans Return Windblade, so I'm repainting a Firedrive to be this guy's Targetmaster little buddy Pinpointer. Also, I think baltamatrix must have bad toy karma- I haven't had any of the QC issues he's seeing on his with mine
While I don’t feel this mold is at all remotely close to the G1 figure I feel Hasbro should have painted the windshield a silverish/ gray as well as paint the rims red to at least resemble the color scheme a little more accurately and they could have thrown in it’s targetmaster; Pinpointer. Just my opinion. But I feel that this figure is an easy pass. Enjoyed your review as always!!
To be honest, this is an easy pass for me. Compared to Ratchet, this just seems like a lazy repaint/remold of Ironhide. I don't know why they couldn't have given him a more faithful robot mode and vehicle mode which was a buggy, not a van.
Just Picked up a Ratchet from Amazon for $35. Just arrived today and qc was on point. Did have an issue with the crane/pod arm but was able to fix that no problem. Pod arm now rests on ironhide's back as he was the one who had it in the g1 show... for 1 episode.. still counts. www.amazon.com/dp/B07XC3P2ZD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gqkcEbEDFKQPK
Ratchet is a Walgreens exclusive. And I know how you feel. I've been there several times and haven't been able to find him yet.
Jetthehawk1994 i have five walgreens within 10miles of me. I know the managers and they have never had a Ratchet in store.

ThePOKOkitty I just want to complete my Grumpy Old Men set with Kup, Ironhide and Ratchet, lol

6:44 A very Cybertruck feel to it. Can we get a repaint of this because the vehicle shape does match.
Elon would be proud
This color scheme reminds me of Kamen Rider build.
Really like the new editing cuts. Looks really slick Balt!

No mention of his targetmaster(sold separately)?
Hector Garcia it is it’s with takara legends windblade
I hope Hasbro will re-issue that one for the Earthrise line.
Pinpointer is coming with Siege Netflix Megatron, along with a new Lionizer.

It looks like you can put a Titans return Headmasters in the cockpit
Or siege laserbeak/ravage
Exactamindo
I have his gen 1 form and the legs on it are very loose. And I had to get the target master separately.
nobody:
g1 rachet and ironhide toys: so no head?
Cartoon not toy line :P

Leg stickers are also very close to G1 Animation , as well !!
I really like this one too , Baltie .
Thanks 👍
Looks awesome, wish they made mp transformer of this character.
I was able to purchase a Ratchet from eBay for what they were going for on their website before they sold out. I guess I’ve been very fortunate.
You know what... I'm getting Crosshairs than Ratchet.... Because I love this mold so much that I have to get it to be easy to find.
On the bright side, it looks like those panels don’t fall out as much on Crosshairs
So he's very obviously a Cybertronian party van, but for some reason in the card game he's classified as a tank? That is so weird!
not sure this is due to the Bayverse movies bringing Crosshairs back into the mainstream spotlight.
They did the same thing with Bumblebee, I don't see how this is any different.
Are the leg panels still as bad as they were on Ironhide where they fall off if you blow on them?

It's simple and I like it
Nice review! Luckily, for my Crosshairs he came out perfect. If I find a Ratchet, I will let you know and sell him for regular retail. I just saw a few at my local Walgreens. I wish I had known, I had 3.
The robot mode is G1 Accurate...,but not with the Alt mode
I repainted the middle wheel part red like the G1
Will you review SS-49 Bumblebee?
You’re the greatest youtuber ever. Huuuuuuuge fan!
I don't care to buy the Takara version of Titans Return Windblade, so I'm repainting a Firedrive to be this guy's Targetmaster little buddy Pinpointer.
Also, I think baltamatrix must have bad toy karma- I haven't had any of the QC issues he's seeing on his with mine
At the weird gurwaller mode it looks like the mech from avatar like if there was no head there and place a master piece human figure
he'd make a pretty good army builder as a generic autotrooper besides maybe the weaponizers
Wait Crosshairs? Dude with such a similarity in name of the characters, they should make a custom thing where there is a group parodying the Bad Batch
Why does this transformation remind me of FOC optimus ?
Did you check walgreens or CVS
Wow he, Ironhide and ratchet are accurate
Point-blank coming soon so I feel bad for anyone who slept on this.

Knees weak, mom spaghetti first thing that came in mind when mentioning the knees
The hammer is more of a war hammer rigged with explosives so it can blow upon impact
I think the headsculpt is the best part of the figure. It is a shame they have shied away from this more robotic face in recent Transformers.
You can order Ratchet directly from Walgreens com for $19.99. if your total order is over $35, you get free shipping. Mine arrived in 2 days.
Not anymore.... The page is gone...😔
It reminds me more of Landmine, I can’t tell why
Jack Nicholson voice is all I can hear from the figure 😊✌
It's very simple actually. First you shoot all the missiles, then you turn it into a hammer. Unless you're trying to pull some RWBY shit...
If you go to Walgreens you can find ratchet every Walgreens I went to they had him :P
Dear Balmatrix if you go to Walgreens website hopefully you can find him that way
He reminds me of the fall of cybertron autobot soldiers
I might be late but the head looks like my grimlock toy heads
Balmatrix its just your copy of the figure because mine has pretty tight knees.
To be honest, this is an easy pass for me. Compared to Ratchet, this just seems like a lazy repaint/remold of Ironhide. I don't know why they couldn't have given him a more faithful robot mode and vehicle mode which was a buggy, not a van.
Is it just me or does balt sound like filthy Frank in this vid?
At least with Crosshairs the feet hanging off the back is G1 accurate.
Missile Hammer... Nora Valkyrie?
Is it wrong that I like his movie design more?
But I don't have ironhide
Walgreens, try Walgreens.
If only we could’ve got siege wheeljack instead with this mold
Check you local walgreens thats where i got my ratchet.
Just Picked up a Ratchet from Amazon for $35. Just arrived today and qc was on point. Did have an issue with the crane/pod arm but was able to fix that no problem. Pod arm now rests on ironhide's back as he was the one who had it in the g1 show... for 1 episode.. still counts.

I have the G1 version of this (sans Pinpoint)!
Imho Crosshairs is the estranged brother of ratchet and ironhide. Not a huge fan of this rerelease of this mold.
Crosshairs
Wheeljack transform and roll out
You have loose legs on crosshairs
4:27 transforming part thank me later
I got crosshairs
0 dislikes so far!
Im gonna skip on getting him because he shares the bad qc issues like Ironhide did, and plus crosshairs just looks like a typical generi-bot.
Pokey Pokster kinda his thing in the transformers universe
Siege Ironhide 4th of July Edition
I've found multiple ratchets for $30 online
Elon would be proud
Order at walgreens.com
To me he is just an Autotrooper ,anyone else prefer Bay's Crosshairs
