This Ratchet is a good figure. He has solid, sturdy joints. Decent articulation and a very nice head. His transformation is complex, but is not frustrating, and the part-shifting makes it very satisfying. His plastic quality is good, his paint doesn’t chip, and surprisingly, he has a very clean back. Although he has many accessories, none of them feel excessive like they do on some more recent Takara figures.
As good as the figure is, I can’t help but see ways in which it could have been great instead of good. For example, the shoulder joint construction is very strange. For some reason, Takara put the in/out joint at the edge of the shoulder, resulting in an arm-spread that looks unnatural. Also, due to construction, the shoulders can’t do a full 360. Both the elbow and knee joints only bend to 90 degrees (in both joint spots it looks as if Takara could have improved the range) and side-skirts really should have been hinged to provide a better spread.
All those joint choices unfortunately make Ratchet’s poses a bit more awkward-looking than the rest of the MP transformers. However, I do still recommend this figure to MP collectors and TF fans, because he is a lot of fun to play with, transform, pose with other characters, and chances are that Takara will stop selling him soon. I don’t think Ratchet is a bad figure, he just could have been a better one.

If you have Ironhide, he is essentially the same figure with a few minor differences. Great cartoon accuracy for his robot and van form. His stickers would be the only let down. The not red crosses are pretty silly. I ended up cutting the squares off them and they look good. But overall a good figure, glad to have him.

When it comes to Takara, lazy comes to mind cause of all the remolds from the CW & TW, but when they get it together, we get Ratchet, love the robot mode, love the vehicle mode, love the transformation, just great figure

This figure is great, it really is great and does an excellent job representing the character. I think the transformation is enjoyable, but sometimes you feel like you're going to break something, things don't come together smoothly like they do with other figures, it sometimes requires a little bit of forcing.
The stickers are VERY average quality, they aren't the correct size for the locations they're meant to go, so they overhang the edges and peel very easily (although this is fixed with a bit of trimming). As with other Masterpiece figures, the guns don't like to fit into those tabs easily, so I trimmed mine down a bit because I was worried about breaking the thumb.
I would say this figure is absolutely worth getting, but I'd also keep an eye out for the reprolabels set, and maybe the KFC posable replacement hands!

Like MP Ironhide, Ratchet really doesn't have anything to complain about. Not really any room for improvement while still keeping him a G1 accurate and transforming toy. Any complaints would be nitpicky and those people would find some fault in anything.
His face could use some more expression but still having a Ratchet with a head at all is a huge improvement from his original toy.
Transforming him is fun and not overly complicated while not to simple either.
He has a great assortment of accessories and a variety of decals.
A must have and worthy addition to the Masterpiece line.
