Ratchet was my first Transformers toy bought at a store called Consumers Distributors. This was a physical store where you would look up the item you wanted, fill out a form on the spot, and depending if they had it in stock, make your purchase. It was always a delight to go through the Consumers catalog's toy pages.
Cool! I have never heard of Consumers Distributors before. Did you wonder where the head was?
@@80sTransfromersFan Yes and no. Just like the package, assumed the head was the windshield, and that the robot mode wasn't complete unless it was atop the "examination table".
Also, here's some Wikipedia info on Consumers Distributing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumers_Distributing
It was a Canadian and US company with over 200 stores.
If only they brought out the party animal in Ratchet, I always think of him as a cranky old man
Yes!
Wow, how different Transformers would be with a female Nurse Ratchet! But i love the G1 cartoon version. Such a gentle voice.
So strange. My original G1Ratchet box art doesn't have the cross on his hand. Thanks for the revisit George. Thumbs up from Downunder!
Australia in the house!
Gotta love how much respect Hasbro had for eighties kids!
"Sir, how can we sell this as a robot? It's got no head!"
"Slap a sticker on the windshield, these stupid kids won't know the difference!"
😂 not me I left Ratchet and Ironhide on the store shelf as a kid lol!
@@80sTransfromersFanSame here! I left both Ironhide and Ratchet on the shelf.Glad there's heads for the figures now.
@@DarrenLee73 I totally agree. But, when put together, rachet was cool.
Thank you for these awesome reviews! As a kid from the 80's I appreciate it. 😎
No problem thank you for watching!
As soon as I got my hands on the studio series 86 ratchet and was messing around with it I was browsing CZcams and the g1 ratchet video review popped up on my feed.
Soon as I caught a glimpse of that video I was like I gotta check this out.
Awesome review man.
Him and iron hide are the only two transformers I don't remember where they came from. Thanks for the video.
Your welcome thanks for watching!
With all the shit going on hear in the states and in my personal life your videos help. Thanks for keeping them raw and relatable.
Excellent review of Ratchet, George!!
But I differ with you on his death in the movie.
For him not to be a warrior like the other's aboard.
I think he performed well.
1st of all, he was able to scare off Scavenger after he had killed Prowl.
2nd of all, the Decepticons hid out of the shooting range of Ratchet & Ironhide in the entrance way that Megatron created.
& last of all. Notice.
Ratchet wasn't actually shot until he was distracted by Ironhide being shot.
He actually turned to his right when Ironhide was 1st shot.
Yes, he was going to die regardless.
But I have to give him his props as well.
And that's a lot coming from me, since I am a diehard Decepticon fan. Lol.
All hail, Megatron!!!
Well said! Till All Are One!
I always loved him. As far as I was concerned, the weirder the bot the better. I think Ironhide was my favourite autobot for a time.
I'm always surprised and happy to hear that people loved them. I wish I had given them a try as a kid.
I had an ambulance toy robot but I'm not sure if it was a Gobot or some random toy and that was my Ratchet (or "Doc" as it was then called in the original Italian G1 dub), only as an adult I discovered that it was probably a better Ratchet toy than the original. lol
"That don´t look S*** like the cartoon" Hahahahhahaha LMAO!! Thank you for your videos!! Good morning everybody and Love from Portugal!!
Good Morning!
Poor ratchet, he never gets much love. But still he’s a very happy chap 😜 great review, cheers
I love the character. I just didn't understand the toy design when I was a kid.
What's messed up is Brawn died from getting shot in the shoulder. Great review.
Hey great video once again, man I've been trying to remember the name of this cartoon for years, the mighty orbots, omg finally thanks to you, I couldn't think for anything in the world, all I remember was crunch and that they combined, thanks alot.
Your welcome! The Mighty Orbots was my sh!+ for all of one season lol!
This was my first transformer toy. I have opened and unopened G1, Takara, Masterpiece and Siege
Epic review The 80's Transformers Fan!!!!!!!!! :D Ratchet is one of my all time favorite Transformers characters. :D You may want to change the title of the video from "6." :) Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
😂😂😂
@@80sTransfromersFan LOL :D
Lmao "with 2 guns n the Decepticons right in front of u, I did not grieve for Ratchet the way I did [the others]" that had me rollin! Ratchet was my boy til u just pointed that part out lol I never knew about his(n Ironhide's) face originally was meant to be projected onto the windshield for robot mode. I wish they would've stuck with that concept. Do u have ne plans to make Diaclone reviews? Or can we at least c all the pilots u have in a lineup? Great review, brudda! I'd say u rock, but u already knows it!🤘
Thanks! And yes I'm counting down the 84 guys in numerical order and the Decepticons are after Optimus Prime . Rumble and Ravage are first at number 19 . I just finished Hound at number 11.
If I didn't watch this channel I would have never known about that extension part for ratchet.and ironhide now they represented cartoon G1 counterparts.
The ark background is awesome
Thanks, I did a full video on it not that long ago. Its call Computer Control Center or CCC from I-gear .
I was just gonna say, the title is "6" ....lol. Love ur vids, just helping ya out! Shout out from Windsor!!
I feel like Ratchet should've been a non-combatant, and bound to ethically treat Deceptions if they needed it. In the movie Brawn went out like a punk and Ratchet went out like that Seinfeld-looking dude in Pulp Fiction.
Seinfeld looking dude 😆😆😆
Nice work on ratchet,didn't know you could rotate the fists on the original toy,Also i re-watched your reviews on the mini-bots to catch up and for some clarity,the 1974 copyright on some of them represents when the original micro-man toys first came out,the micro change toys that became the transformers came out the 80s.
Great review on one of my favorite autobots
Thank you!
really enjoyed this review, I even went and got my Rachet so we could enjoy it together. I did not know Ratchet was nearly a Robo-Lady.
I wonder if Riply's class 2 rating meant she would be qualified to pilot Ratchet.
Thanks! And yes he and Red version of Autobot Tracks were going to be female.
STRENGHT FTW AGAIN! Awesome review as always!
Haha! You sure right. The Decepticons made good of their time on the range. The Autobots didn't know sh!+ about center mass. 😂
I was pissed about him not having a head. I felt duped.
Lol... I took one look at the box transformation and said nooooo.
That green Ratchet.Nooooo! I'd definitely pass on that version.
Great Review on Media Ratchet he is my other favorite Autobots characters in transformers franchise and One think about ratchet is he was going be a Female Autobot Medal but they change ratchet to be male better for ratchet
Loving the reviews,
Just a thought but I seem to remember the silver gun stores on the crutch plate in vehicle mode?
George, who was laying on the repair beds in the background if you can remember from June. 2020
Hound and Bluestreak
nice one, subscribed
Thanks you!
So early that the title ain’t even right
😂😂😂
21:41 my favorite part. I laughed pretty loud... "half assed"! Love it.
he looks good
Ones you understand when the original concept was it a cool toy.
Hi transformer family - firstly, love your reviews George. Secondly, I’m after a Hound and wondered if you can help me find one or sell me one of yours? Also the gears 4 toys ratchet and ironhide upgrades - where can I find that?
Thanks and looking forward to the next review!
Hey what's up!? And thanks! I apologize but my figures aren't for sale right now. But my job might go on strike next month and then it's all fair game 😭 I get 70% of my toy from Ebay and that where I recommend you start. I can search for you if that what you mean ? As far as the Ironhide upgrades I purchased them from bigbadtoystore.com 10 years ago! But if they can be found anywhere it's Ebay again. You just have to keep checking. And there are a lot of G1 collectors groups that buy sale and trade vintage transformers on Facebook.
I got the encore reissue on the way they’re for sale on aliexpress
My son has an toy ratchet so it’s an medic and green
The other were 2 different ratchets this one and the 1 that everyone was used to and this is the 1 that is the more rare of the 2 because the Actually didn't make as many it's also the most valuable
I just realized something from your review. What if the white square stickers on his hands were meant to be cut into 4 smaller squares and put in the corners of the red square? You would end up with a red cross in the middle which would match the instructions and box art.
Yes!
If i was a kid in the mid 80s i would have at least gave the toys a chance
I was brainwashed by the cartoon.
@@80sTransfromersFan i think everyone was 😂
@80sTransfromersFan Me too! The cartoon was basically a 30 minute toy commercial.
Hey George, where do you get your background? Of Teletraan?
I got it from bigbadtoystore back in 2010. It's called Computer Control Center from Igear a 3rd party company. Now it go from $400 and up on Ebay!
@@80sTransfromersFan oof. Pretty spendy
i have a pre-rub ratchet! but the tires are cracking, the right lightbar is missing and a tred is broken, and it has chromewhear
You can bring it back to life with a cheap junker off of Ebay.
where did you get that Diorama?!
I purchased it from Bigbadtoystore.com over 10 years ago now. The name of it is Computer Control Center or CCC from I-gear a 3rd party company . While doing this reviews I received so many questions about I did a full review of it. Please feel free to check it out.
When are they gonna release g1 megatron
We almost got him at Toy R Us about 5 years ago in orange and purple colors 🤢 for safety reasons. But I believe we will see a Walmart release in the near future. Hopefully in chrome and gray.
@@80sTransfromersFan thank you for talking to me i appreciate that you are still alive in this pandemic black lives matter 😎
Review transformers g1 Soundwave and thundercracker
They are coming!
@@80sTransfromersFan ok
I never had G1 Ratchet or Ironhide. I never purchased them because of how bad they looked in robot mode. Years later I still can't get down with them. I just can't find myself to add these to the G1 collection....they are just not right.
I understand , for me the characters are more important than the toys. Plus they are apart of the original 84 lineup.

Ratchet was okay. I could take him or leave him.
G1 Ratchet and Ironhide toys are both terrible
Oh my goodness, that is one of the worst G1 transformers I’ve ever seen. I don’t remember any of my school friends having this. I’m really not sure I’ve ever seen it transformed in the flesh.
🤣
Lol Hai friend just so you know I actually had a ratchet. My cousin gave it to me because he hated it so much.
@@reginaldvondumpster568 did you enjoy it or no ?
Rachet didn't hit shit!!! Lol that add on it cool..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
