Some people may disagree with me, but what I have done with all of my transformers that have tight 5 mm ports or hands is take a Phillips screwdriver Just barely bigger than the whole and stick it in there and twist it and it’s worked for me every time
Hey, you should re-visit the Transformers/ GI Joe collabs. I know Megatron was disappointing and Bumblebee was a disaster for the line but it got better with Soundwave and Triple T/Kup is finally what the line should have been in the beginning. I think you will like it.
@@chefatron I know what you mean - I thought that maybe Soundwave was going to be a retooled MP Soundwave due to the red herring of Ravage but instead, it turned out to be a moderate retool of T30 Roadbuster. I'm maybe in for Kup, but if that feels like a letdown too, I'm out.
@@chefatron Triple t/ kup is solid and good ratchets and no waffles; massively different from Megatron and bee. I don't collect o-rings but maybe you can sell those separately like 15 each. There's rumors of a Skyfire Titan coming, if the quality continues i'm very excited. Plus, you always seem to do well selling stuff you don't need. So you can review it and sell if you don't like it, right? But you'll like it, trust me.
With this release it makes the 5th ironhide ratchet ratchet ironhide release.... Siege Earthrise Studio Series 86 Studio Series Bumblebee movie Studio Series Gamer Edition
"It's always tight the first time you do it." -chefatron, 2024 Just got this figure. Hasbro was cooking really good this time best GE figure out so far!
One of the highest passion-octane figure reviews in existence! 😊🎉 PS. The moment it was announced, I knew in my gut SS GE Ratchet would be a sure winner!🏆 Relieved to know thqt the plastic is supreme & yellowing-prOOf, Chef my bro! Those are the 2 chief enemies to modern TF toy collecting. HasTakTom has begun to open its eyes (at long last)! 👀 😅😅
I could be mistaken, but do the tabs you on the biceps which you point to at around the 15:15 mark on the video, also slot into what look like tabs on the inside of those moveable panels on the shoulder pauldrons? Maybe it's an optical illusion, but it was a detail which seemed to be there and doesn't appear to be used as part of the transformation. Also it would make sense in terms of making the arm articulation look more authentic.
This might be extremely random and out of nowhere but I need to say it, I would die for a repaint of bludgeon into blastwave, I really love collecting super niche and obscure Autobots and he would truly make an amazing addition to
I'm not particularly interested in that figure... I already know I'm not going to like it just looking at it in packaging... sorry man maybe when it goes on clearance, I'll take a look at it...
Not gonna lie I was definitely planning on passing on this guy… but yeah I think you’ve convinced me otherwise lol, my one criteria is that I need to find one with good paint on his face haha. Great review as always Chef! Edit: Just found 6 of them today! Managed to get one with decent paint on the face as well. Yeah after messing with him, he’s definitely one of the strongest out of the gamer edition line so far
This figure looks great in hate how this line has been hit and miss with more misses. I also don't think the yellowing is an issue anymore hasbro corrected it after the motormaster misfire as far as I knew but could be wrong
yeah I agree... that's why I stopped getting the gamer edition figure, often times just getting them to review them and then passing them off to a buddy well, let's hope so... hasbro is notorious for just saving money on plastic....
*This guy looks Awesome!* And i don't care about the "Gamer edition" stuff he's from. The figure just looks really cool in it's own right. His altmode looks pretty Good too.
I pre-ordered him on day one. I had no doubt that he was going to be the best gamer edition figure thus far... Then, I cancelled my pre-order... ...only to buy it from a local store since it surprised me that it was already out. And it didn't disappoint.
I do have to say the heal tool is a little bit wierd looking since it's activiteiten turned over a quarter knowing the circle on top of the tool is there the elbow normally fits... It does not look bad, just a bit wierd
This is the best Gamer Edition figure, and I knew he would be, but there are still some aspects of the transformation that bother me. The shoulders being separate pieces is actually a turn-off. I hate when they do that. I'm not crazy about the leg transformation either.
Sorry, but why is that a problem? Honestly asking. Thew and emgo both sale certain figures as well with space issues being a real thing, so I’m confused as to the point of this statement. Not trying to be rude, just wondering for my own edification is all
@@Battogami yeah that is true they do sell some figures in their collections and I also don’t think space is a issue in this situation..I just honestly think he’s over collecting toys but wants to keep doing reviews for his fans.. no problem in that.
is there a law against that? you must not have heard of my 100% rule in life and in collecting hey, I don't mess with how you collect, why should you mess with mine?
Some people may disagree with me, but what I have done with all of my transformers that have tight 5 mm ports or hands is take a Phillips screwdriver Just barely bigger than the whole and stick it in there and twist it and it’s worked for me every time
Not a bad idea, I like it.
oh cool tip! thanks bro
Don't forget the little autobot logo while transforming. Great toy.
yeah, I missed that, my bad!

i don't know man... i still feel it's overpriced... and the plastic quality... 😓

I just grabbed the G.I. Joe Transformer collaboration.
In fact, I have most of the crossovers with the ones due to ship in December.
@@andrewrichards312the prices between US and southeast asia part are a bit high so we save money for the best figure

Oh I'm definitely about to cop this 😩 nice review as always, Chef 💯

My brother loves this Ratchet. So I may get this for him. 😅

@@MrGojira95 I knew it! I am so happy for you and your brother!

Just got this figure. Hasbro was cooking really good this time best GE figure out so far!
hahahaahahahahahaaa
awesome score bro! yes I agree!
My only complaint is the soapy white plastic. I wish they'd stop using that stuff.
Thanks for the review! Looking forward to grabbin this guy!
no prob man, happy hunting !
I can see them retooling this guy as Soundwave.
oh really? that's interesting... but ironhide first...
One of the highest passion-octane figure reviews in existence! 😊🎉

yes definitely bro!
yeah you're gut was right my friend
I hope you can get one soon bro, it really is a cool figure
thanks as always my friend 😀
Awesome pics and review. Agree 100% This figure exceeded expectations
yeah, kala ko talaga panget, but the figure was really more than meets the eye
Really love the hand-storage on the back this time
yeah me too!

NO ACTUALLY, I'D BEG FOR THIS
@@twist3rstudios thank god someone else understands me
yeah, who knows man, maybe they'll do that
This will later with SS Gamerverse Ironhide.
yes, hopefully
That's why we always say, "Never judge a book by its cover!" Can't wait to get mine as soon as possible.
yeah, I agree
happy hunting man!
could you review gamer edition sideswipe
I'm not particularly interested in that figure... I already know I'm not going to like it just looking at it in packaging... sorry man
maybe when it goes on clearance, I'll take a look at it...

oh awesome score ! glad you found one that had good quality control on the paint apps...

10:45 That's what she said 😏
hahahaha
I've had mine for 3 days, I did not realize the arm stores in the backpack!
oh really? LOL glad I could help 😀
*This guy looks Awesome!* And i don't care about the "Gamer edition" stuff he's from. The figure just looks really cool in it's own right. His altmode looks pretty Good too.
yeah definitely !
was really surprised at how awesome this figure turned out!
It thought the product photos actually kindonof looked good for once. Glad they finally did another one of these justice.
cool man
yeah, I agree
I pre-ordered him on day one. I had no doubt that he was going to be the best gamer edition figure thus far...
Then, I cancelled my pre-order...
...only to buy it from a local store since it surprised me that it was already out. And it didn't disappoint.
that's all good man, we've all done that
glad you were still able to get one!
I do have to say the heal tool is a little bit wierd looking since it's activiteiten turned over a quarter knowing the circle on top of the tool is there the elbow normally fits...
It does not look bad, just a bit wierd
Also how do they compare these with the planet x versions?
cool man
I love the WFC ver of Bumblebee, Sideswipe is cool... but this one tops them!
oh definitely! best figure in the line so far
The shoulder pads are so misleading and goes against the "if there is a hinge it folds" rule
yeah, I definitely know what you mean man
This is the best Gamer Edition figure, and I knew he would be, but there are still some aspects of the transformation that bother me. The shoulders being separate pieces is actually a turn-off. I hate when they do that. I'm not crazy about the leg transformation either.
yes I agree!
I think they were planing something with those flexible shoulders but cancelled it due to lack of budget
@@chefatron or could be a pre-tool for something else
@@benjaminwiseman6567 yes, could be...
that's interesting...
Oh this one is better than the Planet X version.
oh really? cool!
I just picked him up this morning
awesome score bro!
This guy buys transformers for reviews just to turn around and sell them🤣🤣
Sorry, but why is that a problem?
Honestly asking. Thew and emgo both sale certain figures as well with space issues being a real thing, so I’m confused as to the point of this statement. Not trying to be rude, just wondering for my own edification is all

@@jazz8438 thank you very much for taking the time to respond, explaining/clarifying for me!
is there a law against that?
you must not have heard of my 100% rule in life and in collecting
hey, I don't mess with how you collect, why should you mess with mine?
@@Battogami thank you brother, I'm glad there are still a few sensible collectors out there...
That’s pretty much an Ironhide head
yes perhaps... I'm sure an ironhide repaint is not far off...
Teka, Pilipino ka?
oo naman bro
Nah, looks cheap, needs black wash
