Toy Review by: MagnusJam
Introduction:
This is the Fast Action Battlers version of Autobot Ratchet released as Deluxe Class Assortment. The Chief Medical Officer of the Autobots who came from Earth along with Optimus Prime, Autobot Jazz, and Ironhide. When Bumblebee sent a signal to call for help.
Vehicle Mode:
A modified H2 Hummer into a rescue vehicle that Autobot Ratchet has selected to scan colored mostly with lime green. The detailing of the logo of the rescue vehicle is identical to the Voyager Class version.
The the grills and the headlights are molded together compared to the Voyager Class version.
The rims are still black and mostly 95% percent identical to its bigger brother. Its actually a scaled down that took less detail in vehicle mode.
Though what he lacks in detail and accuracy from the Voyager Class. What makes up to his vehicle mode is scale. If you park it side by side with Voyager Class Optimus Prime (Robo Vision) and Deluxe Class Longarm he blends perfectly.
Transformation:
This version of Autobot Ratchet requires less pressure in transforming him to robot mode.
It features also the use of its automorph by rotating the front grill revealing some part folding or splitting automatically in mid-transformation. Compare to the Voyager Class this takes less than five minutes.
Robot Mode:
Mostly his entire body is colored in black with the exception with the arms and legs, which retains the color from the vehicle mode. Head has blue eyes with silver paint application on his face.
The right hand is already fixed to his "scissor" mode, and had a missile launcher molded in-between the cutter. The added guns on his left hand is a nice fit.
Articulation is with the arms and elbows. Limited on not having the knees and joints to perform cool action pose. The legs lacks detail in color as well like it was left to be just a blank lime green colored leg.
Comments:
Overall its a nifty figure that never got the chance to shine due to others would rather get the Voyager Class version, but I see this one can turn heads if it was presented with fair justice.
In the end of the day if you want your TransFormers Movie toys to scale with the others I recommend this one. Though limited in articulation it makes for the detail that was retained from the Voyager Class version.
As they say... Green is good!
The Score:
Skill Level: 2
Vehicle Mode: 4
Robot Mode: 3
Gimmicks: 4
Overall: 4 out of 5 Robot Points
Special thanks to...
Pilgrim Paladin for getting me the chance to see this figure hands-on.

Transformers PH interviewed by Gadgets Magazine
unedited version
Name: Mark Santos
Group Position: TF researcher and Video Librarian
Name: Mark Cerbo
Group Position: Founder
Name: Azrael Coladilla
Group Position: Co-Founder, Events and Marketing
Name : LC De Leon
Group Position: TF band leader, (vocalist of Reklamo Band)
Could you give a brief history of the Transformers toys?
Mark Cerbo: Transformers toys where originally Micro Change Diaclone a product of Takara in the early 80s, where it had its very own series where the Autobots (the good guys) and Decepticons (the bad guys where in one faction). They where driven by humans to battle against an alien threat. So basically Transformers toys where merely machines under the Microman Diaclone toy line that had its own animated series.
The toys became Transformers when Hasbro (the US toy manufacturer of G.I. Joes), Marvel Comics, and Takara collaborated to bringing in a new series about robots changing into vehicles. At that time Takara was having difficulty importing the toys until Hasbro came and then it was a done deal.
Mark Santos : Trasformers (TF) toys were originally taken from 2 popular toy lines in
Japan by Takara in the 70's; Diaclone and Microman. When Hasbro acquired the
distribution license of these 2 lines from Takara in the 80's, they made a
new concept in bringing these toys to the US market. And thus Transformers
was born. When the first toys came out in 1984, the US loved the concept and
believe it or not, they ruled. With the popularity of TF's in the US, Takara
decided to re-import their toys back to Japan as a TF brand line, it also
became popular.
When was Transformers Philippines established and by whom?
Mark Cerbo :Originally it was established in on June 6th 2002, and way back then I was been looking for a local group that would cater to the hobby. Azrael and I have been friends even before the group was founded. I decided to put up a group because there was no local Transformers organization. Most of the members back then hangout at foreign message boards. Because around that time there was a resurgence of interest again, when they introduced the latest series Transformers Armada (Micron Legends titled in Japan).
Mark Santos : Transformers Philippines was established in June 2002 by Mark Cerbo. The group's objective is bringing the fandom of Tranformers here in the
Philippines. The group not only collects Transformers,
But we also meet every month to watch TF episodes and also share our toys to other people who were also a fan of Transformers.
Azrael Coladilla : It was the year of 2002, as Mark Cerbo and Me organized the fan group via a yahoo group mailing list (http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/transformers-ph ), we decided to form it there and we invited everyone to join the premiere Transformers fan group in the Philippines. Then later on it grows into this small community and we created a message board (http://transfansph.proboards24.com/) exclusive for Filipino who loves and also a fan of Transformers, and now we are growing and having some chapter group outside the country. Our blog website (http://transformersph.blogspot.com/) experienced a 10,000 hits one time when we featured the Transformers live action movie and also some updates about the movie production and upcoming toys. Now we are preparing for the great launching of two new sites one portal site (http://transformersph.laibcoms.com) and the official site (http://www.transformersph.com) for the year 2007, in preparation for the live action movie and tribute to the greatest franchise animation and toy of all time.
What do you think is the reason why the Tranformers toys are so enduring and unique?
Mark Cerbo: You get two toys for the price of one. A robot and a vehicle or anything changes into something was really cool, even before when it was first introduced in 1984.
Mark Santos : The uniqueness of these toys are its complexity of how it was transformed, its like a puzzle, figuring out how to transform it by looking it in the
pictures. Sometimes it’s a bit of challenging, example transforming a six
changer TF toy from robot to six different modes, that is really a challenge!
Azrael Coladilla: For me they are the only robot toy that can transform into these cool vehicles, ships, dinosaurs and also combines to one another to form another big cool robot character. And the title says it all. – Transformers! They can really transform into one piece to another different piece.
What got you involved with Tranformers Phils.? How long have you been involved with them?
Mark Cerbo : I basically helped founding the group along with Azrael. I've been a fan back then and come to think of it when I was ten years old. I could say there was already a Transformers group unofficially that’s me and my childhood friends. I was one of the kids who live along our village, where we use to meet every Saturday afternoon. We bring in our latest toys and watching the shows together. I've been with the group since 2002, where it started.
Mark Santos : I joined Transformers Philippines in September 2002. As a fan of Transformers, I meet people who were interested in the series and get some information on the latest Transformers news; it would be a new or soon to be released TF toy or
news on the upcoming series or any Transformers related media. I've been in
the group for 4 years, I now research the latest TF news and also I'm the
Video librarian of the group.
Azrael Coladilla: First, I like the toy line and the animated series, secondly; there is no other Transformers fan group in our country. Third, this is the only fan group that was founded first ever in Philippine soil and I’m a Filipino, thus, I must join and be a member or else I may be left out. I joined the group were we first organized it (2002) and it was Mark and me made a great shout out online to all Pinoys to be part of this awesome fan group community. I’m a Transformers Generation 1 kid, so my purpose in joining this group is to learn more about the fandom and also meet other people with the same interest, also share what I have to others who aren’t aware of the series, toys and the group.
LC De Leon :Im prob. one of the newbies in the group, being a fan almost my entire life it was inevitable that I joined the group, plus my band plays the transformers theme that makes us somewhat of an oficial transband.
What are the more innovative add-ons to these Transformers toys?
Mark Cerbo : They came out a lot of cool gimmicks for the toys besides changing into a cassette player or a 18 wheeled semi truck. When they where reintroduced again in 2001 under the Transformers Armada line they came out with a 3rd faction known as the minicons little Transformers that changes into vehicles. The gimmick is you attach the minicon to any Transfomers which activates there special abilities. For example Starscream's shoulder weapon won't be activated until you attached his minicon partner or any minicon. Sometimes it activates cool sounds built for the toy.
The most recent Transformers namely titled Transformers Cybertron (Galaxy Force in Japan)has a similar gimmick but this time instead of minicon companions you used planet keys that come with the toy.
Mark Santos : The innovation about these toys are the toys now have articulation. Back
then, the toys were not pose able because of lack of articulation. Another
innovation is the toys are now well-engineered thanks to modern technology.
Azrael Coladilla : I really like how they treated the design and also its likeness to the animated version. The texture and proportion are more smooth compare to the classic version. They now added with electronic light and sounds, crunching sound when you transform it, and also the launching projectiles in their weapons. The most important of them all is the articulation of every joints.
LC De Leon : The add ons as I see it are these new remakes or the collectible models that are being sold for a pretty high price for a kid to aford. I bought my optimus 20th aniv toy for bout 5k and this was 2 years ago.
How much would these toys go for?
Mark Cerbo: There are certain price points and that depends on the toy line namely Basic ranges from PhP 450 to PhP 500. Then theres a Deluxe which is priced between PhP 600 to 750. Followed by Voyager Class which is the mid-sized figure that goes from PhP 900 to 1,600 depends on the character with that size. Then there are the bigger ones like the Leader Class usually where Optimus Prime or Megatron is prices at PhP 1,700 to PhP 2,500. For the biggest they call it the Supreme Class going for Php 3,500 to PhP 4,000 mostly the ones as big as Unicron which is 17 inches tall.
But like I said it depends if that toyline has a huge line of characters. The most recent Transformers toyline that came out is the TF Classics line, which represents original characters take on "What if Transformers where introduced today". More on giving the original 80’s character a modern look on what they would look like if they where first time introduced today. They only most have two price points for the basic characters. Deluxe Class and Voyager Class. I haven't mentioned the Exclusive editions release only for the US market or mostly store exclusive as what they are known.
Mark Santos: Basically, Transformers toys are quite expensive today for an average
person. There are 5 sizes of Transformers currently selling; basic figures
prices ranged from 350 to 450 pesos, the deluxe figures cost around 600-700
pesos, while the mega figures ranged from 1,000 to 1,800 pesos ultra figures
priced at 2000 pesos up. The most expensive of all Transformers were the
Supreme figures ranging 4,000 pesos up.
What’s your favorite Transformer toy of all time and why?
Mark Cerbo : Transformers has been around for twenty one years. It’s hard to pick up the most favorite toy of all time for me. I guess it will be the Master Piece Collection 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, is the best to date my favorite.
It represents how technology was use to improve the toys. The qualities of seeing a Transformers toy like the Master Piece almost close to its animated counterpart. It came out in December 2003 and was viewed by fans as the best toy of 2004.
Mark Santos: My fave TF toy would be the Transformers Galaxy Force Starscream because it has an aerodynamic design of his vehicle mode, the articulation of the
figure, a neat toy gimmick which springs swords in his forearms when the
planet key is inserted and most of all, he is also my favorite character.
Azrael Coladilla: My very favorite of all from my childhood day is the Generation 1 Hound. That green military jeep robot that has the capability to create holograms, for me he is the coolest character, coz I remember in the animation that he fooled the Decepticons one time when he projected a hologram of a big Autobot to scare the bad guys off. The toy is a classic one, and I’m glad that they created a re-issue version of the classic Hound. I still stick to the classic versions coz that’s the toy I cried in COD with my mom when she failed to buy me one for Christmas.
LC De Leon: My fave transformer of all time is of course the bossbot himself Optimus Prime. As soon as I saw the movie when I was a kid optimus just got to me bigtime. "Youve got the touch!".

I just got the reply from SM IMAX management regarding the Transformers movie in IMAX and here it is:
Hi! Good Day!
Thank you so much for the kind interest...In regards to Transformer being shown to IMAX Theatre, unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to show it soonest...
Anyhow, we'll keep you posted..
For your kind info and understanding.
Hoping to see you soon here at IMAX Theatre
Have a great day ahead!
fatima san diego
theatre manager
I want to apologize for the info I released in my blog regarding the Transformers IMAX experience. As a responsible blogger I should at least confirmed it to the theater itself if it is true. I know that hundreds (or even thousands) of Filipino Transfans become very excited of the news I post here in my blog. But unfortunately Transformers will not be shown in local IMAX theaters soon.
Again my apologies. But still hoping Transformers will soon hit our local IMAX theaters. Let us cross our fingers and continue to hope.
TF Toy Review: TF Movie Scorponok
review by : chrysophylax

Name: Scorponok
Series: Transformers Movie (Deluxe)
Packaging: Deluxe Carded
Release: 2007
Manufactured By: Hasbro (Takara as MD-04)
Variations: Repackaged in Desert Attack boxed set with Qatar SOCCENT Special Forces mini-figures
Accessories: None
Notes: NA
Toy Review by: chrysophylax
Introduction:
Scorponok, as he appeared in Michael Bay's Transformers movie is a robot scorpion. Scorponok is the only Decepticon in the movie that did not transform although the toy does; the tech specs state that Scorponok prefers his alternate mode. Screenwriter Roberto Orci indicated that this Scorponok is conceptually closer to the Beast Wars character than the original; he does bear a noticeable resemblance to the McDonald's Transmetal Scorponok figure. He is symbiotically related to Blackout.
Alternate Mode:
Robot Scorpion similar to Zoids Death Stinger.
Transformation:
Not much. Just swing legs down, flip face down, swing arms down and stand.
Robot Mode:
Standing robotic scorpion
Comments:
The scorpion mode is as accurate as you can get without becoming overloaded with detail and sharp edges and small parts which would make transforming an impossibility. The robot mode is obviously a mere afterthought since, after all, this is Transformers so the toy needs to transform. As usual with Hasbro's offerings of late, the toy is cast in dull metallic plastic and does not evoke the realistic die-cast metal feel of Transformers of old. The toy has an action feature that allows it to spin its drill claws like in the movie when the toy is rolled on the ground. Another action feature is the ability to attach to the Voyager class Blackout toy and again, activate the drill caws. The third action feature is the spring loaded stinger at the tip of the tail which allows it to shoot forward as in the movie.
The Score:
Skill Level: 3 Advanced Conversion
Alternate Mode: 3
Robot Mode: 1
Gimmicks: 4
Overall: 4 out of 5 Robot Points
Special thanks to...
My girlfriend JDR who bought this toy for me and helped me with the photos.

Mobile Phone Transformers
Back Track: Your most memorable episode?
Topic : Post your your most memorable G1 episode in this thread, that you can still recall and give your insight before & now.
Heer0san : Siyempre, my most memorable eps are the 1st apperance of the Dinobots (SOS Dinobots), then Dinobots first fought Devastator (Heavy Metal War)
Soundwave : My Favorite Episode..."The Key to Vector Sigma"
magnusjam : The introduction of the Aerialbots & Stunticons.
This is the part where Megatron stole the key on there way back to Earth, and the only way they could activate Vector Sigma is having Alphatrion "hack" his way.
Unfortunately it cost A3 a price by loosing his physical body, and merging with Vector Sigma himself.
... Thought I recall it in detail but that particular scene I remember.
zaptheman : When they introduced Jetfire / Skyfire.
I guess that episode really stuck because it's the first time you saw someone actually switch sides because of personal conflict.
I wish I had a Classics Jetfire.
RandimuS PrimE : My favorite and very memorable episode would have to be the one where Optimus Prime tumbled the side of a cliff. Then, after that, he had a hard time transforming and I remember him being stubborn and didn't want any help from his fellow Autobots. That was one of the earlier episodes (from season 1 I think....) And it really tells us what kind of a leader Optimus is.
popazrael : introduction of the dinobots ! aahahha
How about you dear blog readers???
Photorama : topnotch97 corner!
Cobra Commander: So what's this I heard you wouldn't be coming back for the movie sequel?
Jazz: Whaaa??!??! Really!?!? Sons of %$&^!!! I'm so gonna kill Michael Bay!!! That b$st@rd!!!

REVIEW : Transformers Spotlight: Optimus Prime
Category: Books Genre: Comics & Graphic Novels Author: Simon Furman & Don Figueroa
Filipino US based Don Figueroa does is again providing the art & cover. He has been sort of partly designed most of the characters that came out as a toy... TF Classics Jetfire,
The story is action packed with Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme in action against the gestalt pretenders Monstructor.
Teletran Reports...
1.) Monstructor is a G1 combiner composed of five monster pretenders.
2.) Omega Supreme is huge so is Monstructor but in toy form the monster is as big as any Deluxe size figure.
3.) Features the six pages preview of Devastation after Escalation.
If your a big fan of Optimus Prime this ones for you, but the action is a bit short. It could have been a two-part mini series.
