Thanks to TFormers, we’ve got a very detailed look at a design sheet drawing for Ratchet in the Transformers 2007 movie.

Ratchet from the original Transformers series was the Autobot’s chief medical officer, and transformed into an ambulance. While he might’ve been the obvious choice to peg as the pacifist, he frequently found himself in the heat of some of the most memorable battles in Transformers fiction, including being trapped on the Ark with Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and Galvatron from the future.

In the 2007 Transformer movie from director Michael Bay, Ratchet is loaded up as a modified Humvee built for search and resuce. This makes him one of the larger Autobots on the team. His robot mode has been surprisingly unseen in the rash of leaked design sheets, but now we have a sneak peek…

It’s been a while since I had a Dreamcast title here, so here goes one. This game is also available on PC, and there is an enhanced version on PS2. In late 2001, Sega’s final attempt at console success was on it’s last legs.

Thanks to spooie for finding this.

Yes, I know there is an enhanced version of this out (MGS 3 Substance), but I couldn’t wait to feature this game. Besides, the enhanced version of the game is already $25, so it will drop in price soon enough anyway.

Now that I have all the minotaurs from the 7th Kingdom series from the Four Horsemen, I took the opportunity to put together a photo gallery. Its far from professional, but it gives you a good look at the figures, their posability, and their accessories. I tried to have a little fun with it and give each minotaur a little personality by differing up their poses and weapons. The accessories give credit to a wide range of options with some mixing and matching of the halberd, spear and flag.

Just the other day we had a look at some toy prototypes, but now Aint It Cool News has dropped the first in movie still of an actual Transformer.

This is from early in the film and from what we hear will be included in the trailer due next month.
