Hey Lazy, I want to actually check out the site that you advertised but you didn't show a link. I would like it if you would help me out here. Oh, and nice video by the way.
I know people really like the Cherry vanet alt-mode for ratchet and ironhide, but I feel like they could totally go with a more modern ambulance alt-mode for ratchet, and then change it to an armoured truck for ironhide. I just think they go better with their personalities than a van and a van with red stripes that make it go faster.
I wonder if you may be able to answer this question. Obviously being brand licensed by Nissan, I'm wrong, but.... My whole childhood, I thought this was the Toyota "toaster" van. The one with the engine under the driver's seat? We had one, as a kid, and I gotta say, my Ratchet next to that van, was absolutley SPOT ON. My dad even repainted Ratchet silver, with a white grill, like our van was. I rode in that thing all the way from clt NC to Key West, a half dozen times lol. It was macked out like a conversion van, with a fold down bed, a table, fridge, all that, but in the foot print of like a corolla lol
It's really a shame they couldn't do better with the Earthrise Arcee mold, in concept it works great but in practice sadly doesn't. I feel like Lifeline's blaster is probably a tranquilizer to stop pain. But heal gun works to.
@@kelvinfahrenheit1107 Yeah, their designs don't really translate well into toys. On the other hand though we have seen deluxe priced female characters that work so much better. Hasbro got lazy with the arcee mold.
@Silly Dave It’s weird. Ever since RID 2015 ended (with the exception of the Beast Wars babes, Cyberverse Arcee and Cyberverse Clobber), it really feels like Hasbro/Takara have been slacking on their female Transformers. The whole Moonracer limb-bot debacle, Siege Chromia being show-inaccurate in vehicle mode, and the pathetic display that was ER Arcee… it’s a miracle that Airazor and Blackarachnia turned out as good as they did. If Hasbro wants good fembots, then they should break away from character designs that depend on cheating (ie Elita-1’s team and Arcee) to transform.
My Take: Opening Skit: Visual jokes with Prime’s mis-transformed midsection making him look overweight, Ratchet’s keyboard looking to be upside down, and the entire Among Us reference combines into a hilarious entry into the stop-motion antics of our TF Crew. Laughs and an enthusiastic thumbs-up from me. Review: Excellent attention to detail; amazingly done mods to ER Ratchet really make him pop in comparison to his Cybertronian counterpart. Of particular note, those awesome feet mods that give him toe-articulation, and something besides ridiculous thruster-ports hanging off the backside of his vehicle mode. If I had a 3-D printer, I’d have already acquired them myself for my ER Ironhide and Ratchet figures. Side-note: The Paradron Medic, Lifeline, while a fun nod to the G1 cartoon, was needlessly crammed into an exclusivity deal for a figure many of us have been waiting for since we heard an ER Ironhide was a thing. Ultimately, I agree with all the criticism levied against this figure and it’s distribution. Overall: An excellent video, from start to finish. The little text notes throughout add a subtle homemade charm to it, which only reinforces the higher-end quality of the stop motion TLE has achieved through practice/training and equipment upgrades. The no-nonsense review is informative, with opinion notes clearly delineated for viewers to form their own opinion as well. A well-deserved Like for the TH-cam algorithm.
The semi-serious scene of Ratchet analyzing what's going on with the crew actually got me on edge until the scene seamlessly shifts into an Among Us parody.
I love my iGear dudes still. I got them both when they still came with the arsenal of weapons for each of them. The shouldered rocket launchers and sniper rifles look great on other figures. My Siege Rainmaker Seekers are wielding these weapons on my shelf right now.
8:13 I literally had to stop the video at this point just to admire how *ABSOLUTELY STUNNING* those customs are. The colors and line work on Wheeljack are just capital *B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!*
The "Heal Gun" comment made me think of Team Fortress 2 Medic, who had either a small handheld weapon (with variations on specifics, like a repurposed nailgun or a crossbow) that heals teammates slightly and harms enemies prominently used by battle medics, or a larger medigun that projects a constant healing beam that can charge up an "Uber Charge" that renders both Medic and the target teammate invincible for a brief period of time, with variations. But the TF2 Medic is also someone that should be kept in an insane asylum, he lost his medical license when he removed someone's skeleton for reasons unknown because that's all we hear of the incident in his "Meet the Team" video. And that's not mentioning what powers the medigun, revealed in an unused version of said video that was scrapped because it focused too much on the medigun's backstory.
So recently I remembered something very interesting and very ironic: Earthrise is very well known for making almost everything out of clear plastic, and most figures did that where there are windows, except this one. Out of everything that could've been clear plastic in the entirety of Earthrise, they chose to make Ratchet and Ironhide's rear windows with opaque plastic. HOW?
@@veermonga7454 Same. Though what caught me off guard the most is the fact that the two imposters killed two crew members in the same room at the same time. I have never seen that happen in an actual game before.
I'd love to see more from you; your sense of humor is amazing. The awareness that it takes time to stop-motion animate keeps me from demanding you continue working nonstop in the content mines - that, and the fact you are a father. I STILL want to see more beast bots, but I'll take what I can get
Hey Lazy Eyebrow, thx for putting the links for the wheels and feet but I think they’re a bit overpriced. Buying the full kit almost costs the same as Grapple
I have a theory that, when teletraan one scanned new vehicles for the transformers, it selected the nearest one with a similar shape or function to the original cybetronian alt mode and tweaked it to accommodate a giant robot, which is why a lot of transformers vehicle modes don't actually resemble any real vehicles. Also, I think the window shins look great. I don't know why, but I always like it when the back or side windows form the shin or forearms respectively.
Well that goes out the window when you realize Wheeljack was a van on Cybertron large enough to carry a pancaked out Bumblebee alt mode, then on Earth he has an alt nearly the exact same size as Bumblebee's. And also the Tetrajets. And also Jazz. I think this kind of headcanon would work for WFC, but that storyline didn't show us how transformers take new modes.
The ER ratchet mould being exclusive really sucks. It’s ironhide, ratchet, and a shatter glass ratchet the first 2 are amazon exclusive which are usually out of stock or super marked up in price and the shatter glass while it is a selects (ebgames for Canada) it’s is sold out.( I was able to get a preorder when it first came out I wasn’t letting that 2 pack slip away). But ratchet and also skywarp are only exclusives which really sucks cause if you’re collecting a G1 cast there’s a good chance you will be missing these 2 characters which is bad (I think Earthrise is like 40% exclusive which is outrageous)
I’d love to see a different series on the channel where Lazy Eyebrow just reviews his own custom paint jobs and modifications to his figures or, makes a series about painting and modifying his figures. Those for some reason are always my favorite part of any review-
Actually I've had similar thoughts as some figures I don't feel warrant full reviews, especially if it's a figure previously covered. Like my custom Nemesis, or the Wheeljack overhaul
@@TheLazyEyebrow it could be like the Overdose videos, but instead of skits (obviously) it’s a compilation of all the modifications you’ve done, whether it’s from old reviews, new reviews, or side projects. I’d love to watch that
I was one of only a few people that actually got the Earthrise Ratchet pack. Most of these that were made, went to the bottom of the ocean when that huge shipment of stuff from China was knocked off of the ship carrying it. Lots of people forgot this. Mine arrived, but had two of the same arm. So it couldn't fully transform into the Van without help. I've debated on modding the figure permanently so it would fully transform. For now I've been taking off the arm and placing it in the open cargospace in the van mode where the pegs wont hit anything. For anyone who hasn't yet figured this out... His weapon can be pegged into the roof piece while in alt mode, AND when the roof is folded up and placed on his back. It sits neatly into the space between the folding windows pegged on its side.
@@_V.Va_ Hasbro chose to replace all the Haslab Unicrons that were lost before they did anything else. So there was either a delay in receiving those OTHER figure sets, or they were cancelled, and people were refunded their money. Hasbro and Tomy couldn't just do everything all at once. They had to prioritize.
18:57 It could be a healing gun. Medics like Ratchet and Lifeline use medi-guns and in Transformers Earth Wars, but they tend to be much bulkier than that silly little glock. Oh, plus, they aren’t single fire, they’re actually beam weapons that have to lock onto allies to heal them.
Hey everyone it’s General Waluigi here! Thanks for the shout out Mr Eyebrow and making me somehow a part of this great video. Sub if you want and sorry for the nightmares the Purple Monkey Dishwasher has caused you. :)
Earthrise Ratchet's pretty neat, though unlike Ironhide, I don't seem to be attached to the idea that he was just a Vanette acting as a makeshift ambulance. Being a G1 latecomer as a kid, I always thought he was an outright ambulance like his later incarnations. Earthrise one would be more common at this point, but I feel like I'd want Siege more, since there's more room to mod to make it more ambulance-like. Tools are a nice bonus, though.
Well, on the bright side(Not including the whole shellformer concept with that Arcee mold), at least it does expand the medical side of the Autobots, right?
15:26 To be fair, you don't _have_ to take off the backpack. It's an option if you want less kibble in robot mode. I'm fine with people not liking the figure, but only if it's for subjective reasons like appearance and enjoyment, not an optional step treated like it's the only step.
That doesn't change the fact it's a crumpled up robot with a car shaped tarp over the whole thing. Even worse off that the back of said tarp is just open at the back Even with the full backpack, Takara Legends did it better
@@TheLazyEyebrow fair enough, that's a legitimate criticism that I won't argue against. Luckily for me I'll be keeping mine in robot mode for the most part.
I read that supposedly the Earthrise modes came first and the Siege ones were the afterthought. If that is true for Ironhide and Ratchet, the budget had to have been the issue... they make millions off us and they have budgets that can't get stuff done correctly? I like what you have done for the feet. If I knew how to design and had a 3D printer, I would use the ports in the feet to add a section that could become more shields when not in vehicle mode... door shields... but eh! They could also attach to the vents/thrusters on the roof. I am not one for replacing parts or customizing my figures and if I do I have to have a factory version. It stinks Ironhide and Ratchet are sold out exclusives and they aren't packaged alone so I won't be able to get second ones cheaply. I can add to my figures though and still have them be factory. I loved the opening skits and I am amazed by what you do! Also for some reason your Lifeline shows as a Chromia blue. She looks good like that but Chromia might not like.
Naw, the Seige modes definitely came first, or at least on Earthrise Optimus it did. On Optimus his shins have a vestigial trailer hitch on the outside in truck mode from seige, as well as Ultra Magnus's Earthrise figure a complete afterthought
"So what's this all about?" "It's what I feared... prostate cancer. And it's advanced. I'm sorry, Prime, but you're going to die." Once upon a time you were using Legos and the like the make props for your figures, but now you're making really good use of your 3D printer. Nice. lol (And yes, BE proud of the backdoors/feet that you printed. VERY nicely done.) Wait, Ratchet was a WALLGREENS exclusive? Who thought that was a good idea? "What is this, a HEALING gun?" Sure, roll with its transparent plastic and repurpose it for any number of medical uses. Is it a soldering gun? Some kind of vaccine injector? A voltage meter? It could be ANYTHING. Batman's sworn off never mowing down his enemies, but his arsenal for crime-fighting is LOADED with guns of ALL sorts, especially in the Arkham universe.
After missing out on dirge and ramjet I have pretty much kept up with transformers news and wind up pre ordering Amazon exclusive or any other exclusive once they are announced sadly I didn't do that for Ironhide and Prowl and missed out on them but have gotten both the boisfera and paradron sets
Regarding budget: I know it'd be much harder due to scheduling, but Hasbro/Takara should design the earth versions and get them within budget first, and then make Cybertronian versions from there. Then they'd have more freedom to take shortcuts and use the Cybertronian excuse.
It's like, they didn't up his budget to leader because they ran out of budget for the feet, wheels, and better paint apps (That had to be planned at one point in time, cuz the shoulders line up perfectly to have the cross.) but then they made it so you could only get him bundled with a toy you don't want for $10 more. I'm sure it's like, they figured that they could only have x number of leader class figures, and I assume there's some kinda budgetary reason that the earth mode retools of the iron hide mold always has to be bundled in a $60 package with a deluxe, cuz iron hide is similarly bundled with his 86 film tragic death scene mate, prowl.... But like, A: I hate that I have to buy iron hide and prowl at the same time, and B: I definitely would've bought a leader class ironhide/ratchet if it came with the new weapons, the siege weapons, and all the aforementioned stuff. Actually, what they could've done is kept the siege feet, and made an even bigger gun sled that went on the roof, then wrapped around the feet, and we all would've complained, but it'd give us a nice big g1 gun sled... I dunno, it just seems like there were better options that would've been more profitable for hasbro than what they wound up doing.
You probably don't care as you don't care for the figure, but one could easily image Lifeline's 'gun' is a tranqulizer gun or such, like the hyposprays Star Trek had. The roof being a shield is a holdover from Ironhide (who being a bodyguard a riot shield makes sense) but I can see people using it as a stretcher. That is what some versions of Movie Ratchet did with the cargo rack. Personally once I get ER Ratchet (hahah that abbreviates to e r ) I plan to have Siege version in it's 'open' partial transformation that looks like the sled, and use it as a medical slab.
You know the part in the short when they were like wait these are imposters it shocked me to no end because they were willing to kill hot rod were any dumb means necessary also why didn't prime ratchet contact the entirety of the group to learn of this revelation Also also why kill hot rod take chromedome he's the worst leader of the Autobots since hot rod in the original IDW comics seriously chromedome is literally the worst only a couple of people are going to get this because they watch Headmasters
Hot Rod exiled the Decepticons and left them to starve to death, which in turn prompted them to find Galvatron and start the war all over again. That's the second most heinous act an Autobot leader has ever committed, with only IDW Star Saber being a mass genocidal megalomaniac and Megatron, literally their Hitler who they decided to fucking command them for some dumbass reason, being the only worse examples I can think of. And they're mass murderers!
the added paint on your figures makes me even more wish they'd opt out of the now standardized opaque windows on figures. it can look nice, but most of the time it takes up paint budget to color match (which usually leads to colors not matching) and leaves visible kibble in the alt modes.
Glad I had them come in unexpectedly last month. Now waiting for ironhide prowl and ramjet dirge. My siege Ratchet goes well for younger Ratchet and this one the older version
ER Ratchet can kinda get away with the back section. It's umm... a umm.... OOH! A wheelchair/stretcher entrance! Yeah! On Ironhide it's... umm..... A wheelchair/stretcher entrance! Yeah!
For some strange reason, when he was showing the leg articulation on the Ratchets I half-expected to see them do the fusion dance. Weird things go through my head sometimes.

Hey everyone it’s General Waluigi here! Thanks for the shout out Mr Eyebrow and making me somehow a part of this great video. Sub if you want and sorry for the nightmares the Purple Monkey Dishwasher has caused you. :)
Repainting Wheeljack i see, good on you
Earthrise Ratchet's pretty neat, though unlike Ironhide, I don't seem to be attached to the idea that he was just a Vanette acting as a makeshift ambulance. Being a G1 latecomer as a kid, I always thought he was an outright ambulance like his later incarnations. Earthrise one would be more common at this point, but I feel like I'd want Siege more, since there's more room to mod to make it more ambulance-like. Tools are a nice bonus, though.
Well, on the bright side(Not including the whole shellformer concept with that Arcee mold), at least it does expand the medical side of the Autobots, right?
Holy cow, that's a great Prime voice
Kup: "I think it was Hot Rod!"
Hot Rod: "Me?! Why me?"
Kup: "Because Optimus is dead."
He does have a valid point
Beer belly optimis is a mood 💀
would love to see a episode where its just bots and cons doing a live action among us like episode
"Marb of Shockticons"
Huehuehuehue
It’s even funnier how the logos are from the KO. Sam logos for KO devastator
Same ko company made these too haha
12:03 The car mode for Legends and the robot mode for Earthrise
Your Earthrise Prime voice is better than the series.
the VA that did it (see description) is exceptionally good at what he does
15:26 To be fair, you don't _have_ to take off the backpack. It's an option if you want less kibble in robot mode.
I'm fine with people not liking the figure, but only if it's for subjective reasons like appearance and enjoyment, not an optional step treated like it's the only step.
That doesn't change the fact it's a crumpled up robot with a car shaped tarp over the whole thing. Even worse off that the back of said tarp is just open at the back
Even with the full backpack, Takara Legends did it better
@@TheLazyEyebrow fair enough, that's a legitimate criticism that I won't argue against. Luckily for me I'll be keeping mine in robot mode for the most part.
@@cybersilver5816 like for robot mode i guess it's alright. if that suits you, that's great
Oh my god dude! Your Optimus impression is REALLY improving!!!
Not mine, but I'll pass it along!
@@TheLazyEyebrow really good either way tho! Love ur videos, keep it up man
@@TheLazyEyebrow also nice Game Theory Reference!
I read that supposedly the Earthrise modes came first and the Siege ones were the afterthought. If that is true for Ironhide and Ratchet, the budget had to have been the issue... they make millions off us and they have budgets that can't get stuff done correctly?
I like what you have done for the feet. If I knew how to design and had a 3D printer, I would use the ports in the feet to add a section that could become more shields when not in vehicle mode... door shields... but eh! They could also attach to the vents/thrusters on the roof. I am not one for replacing parts or customizing my figures and if I do I have to have a factory version. It stinks Ironhide and Ratchet are sold out exclusives and they aren't packaged alone so I won't be able to get second ones cheaply. I can add to my figures though and still have them be factory.
I loved the opening skits and I am amazed by what you do! Also for some reason your Lifeline shows as a Chromia blue. She looks good like that but Chromia might not like.
Naw, the Seige modes definitely came first, or at least on Earthrise Optimus it did. On Optimus his shins have a vestigial trailer hitch on the outside in truck mode from seige, as well as Ultra Magnus's Earthrise figure a complete afterthought
In Transformers War for Cybertron videogame was healing grenades, and you say the healing pistol is strange, which was also there.
Your work is only improving at every step Lazy. Big love and appreciation from one of your oldest and most steadfast subs.
"Tell me doc, how bad is it?"
*takes off glasses*
*takes long sip of energon*
*puts glasses back on*
*pulls up clipboard and exhales*
"It's not good."
Oh my u know the pream's true form too
"So what's this all about?"
"It's what I feared... prostate cancer. And it's advanced. I'm sorry, Prime, but you're going to die."
Once upon a time you were using Legos and the like the make props for your figures, but now you're making really good use of your 3D printer. Nice. lol (And yes, BE proud of the backdoors/feet that you printed. VERY nicely done.)
Wait, Ratchet was a WALLGREENS exclusive? Who thought that was a good idea?
"What is this, a HEALING gun?"
Sure, roll with its transparent plastic and repurpose it for any number of medical uses. Is it a soldering gun? Some kind of vaccine injector? A voltage meter? It could be ANYTHING. Batman's sworn off never mowing down his enemies, but his arsenal for crime-fighting is LOADED with guns of ALL sorts, especially in the Arkham universe.
No joke, I actually thought Ratchet is going to tell Optimus he has prostate cancer in the intro.
Soldering gun gave me a good chuckle NGL haha
@@reynaldipangestu259 well i didn't want to completely rip off RC haha
@@TheLazyEyebrow
No no, that'd be an HOMAGE, not a ripoff. 😋
Okay, now I want an entire short of the Autobots in Among Us.
17:43 Ratchet- I'm a healer. But....
Note to self: avoid Earthrise Arcee
my set was just cancelled. I got the notified about it right when you uploaded this. This just makes me want this set even more. lol
Oh noooooooo!!!!
I also received an email from Amazon today cancelling my order. After 2 months of having it on pre order.
@@nonamenoncents6143 sorry about that bro. Amazon sucks with pre orders.
-_-
After missing out on dirge and ramjet I have pretty much kept up with transformers news and wind up pre ordering Amazon exclusive or any other exclusive once they are announced sadly I didn't do that for Ironhide and Prowl and missed out on them but have gotten both the boisfera and paradron sets
Mine is coming late
Name: Ratchet. Basis: Nissan van ambulance. Motto: “If you can break it, I can remake it.” Faction: Autobot.
Regarding budget: I know it'd be much harder due to scheduling, but Hasbro/Takara should design the earth versions and get them within budget first, and then make Cybertronian versions from there. Then they'd have more freedom to take shortcuts and use the Cybertronian excuse.
I loved the skit at the beginning! your channel is truly a hidden gem
Thanks! 😁
Damn someone hire this guy to do Optimus on Netflix!
It's like, they didn't up his budget to leader because they ran out of budget for the feet, wheels, and better paint apps (That had to be planned at one point in time, cuz the shoulders line up perfectly to have the cross.) but then they made it so you could only get him bundled with a toy you don't want for $10 more. I'm sure it's like, they figured that they could only have x number of leader class figures, and I assume there's some kinda budgetary reason that the earth mode retools of the iron hide mold always has to be bundled in a $60 package with a deluxe, cuz iron hide is similarly bundled with his 86 film tragic death scene mate, prowl.... But like, A: I hate that I have to buy iron hide and prowl at the same time, and B: I definitely would've bought a leader class ironhide/ratchet if it came with the new weapons, the siege weapons, and all the aforementioned stuff. Actually, what they could've done is kept the siege feet, and made an even bigger gun sled that went on the roof, then wrapped around the feet, and we all would've complained, but it'd give us a nice big g1 gun sled... I dunno, it just seems like there were better options that would've been more profitable for hasbro than what they wound up doing.
It’s funny , I got to the Lifeline Bio and I don’t don’t know that part, I just know she was a wrecker which is why I wanted her more than Ratchet
Ha I love the first part with the stop motion
That is the best Optimus prime voice acting
0:17 wow, the pull up noise!! 🤣
Love your stop motion videos
You probably don't care as you don't care for the figure, but one could easily image Lifeline's 'gun' is a tranqulizer gun or such, like the hyposprays Star Trek had.
The roof being a shield is a holdover from Ironhide (who being a bodyguard a riot shield makes sense) but I can see people using it as a stretcher. That is what some versions of Movie Ratchet did with the cargo rack.
Personally once I get ER Ratchet (hahah that abbreviates to e r ) I plan to have Siege version in it's 'open' partial transformation that looks like the sled, and use it as a medical slab.
You getting earthrise ratchet on time makes me hope I to will get mine on time as a fellow fan who has to put up with stupid amazon us exclusives
Hey I got mine yesterday, just have hope
I would probably paint lifeline's gun and give it to ratchet. And probably use Ratchet's gun as some sort of welding tool.
You know the part in the short when they were like wait these are imposters it shocked me to no end because they were willing to kill hot rod were any dumb means necessary also why didn't prime ratchet contact the entirety of the group to learn of this revelation
Also also why kill hot rod take chromedome he's the worst leader of the Autobots since hot rod in the original IDW comics seriously chromedome is literally the worst only a couple of people are going to get this because they watch Headmasters
Hot Rod exiled the Decepticons and left them to starve to death, which in turn prompted them to find Galvatron and start the war all over again. That's the second most heinous act an Autobot leader has ever committed, with only IDW Star Saber being a mass genocidal megalomaniac and Megatron, literally their Hitler who they decided to fucking command them for some dumbass reason, being the only worse examples I can think of. And they're mass murderers!
the added paint on your figures makes me even more wish they'd opt out of the now standardized opaque windows on figures. it can look nice, but most of the time it takes up paint budget to color match (which usually leads to colors not matching) and leaves visible kibble in the alt modes.
damn nice job on the wheeljack, that figure is looking clean
I’m all for the sled partsforming, if you didn’t HAVE to take it off during the transformation
Glad I had them come in unexpectedly last month. Now waiting for ironhide prowl and ramjet dirge. My siege Ratchet goes well for younger Ratchet and this one the older version
I always love to watch a new and old video of lazy eyebrow
I’ma just get the shattered glass one, I don’t feel like risking waiting
Optimus prime: "can you well stuff on this website"
Jazz: "yes you can"
Optimus prime: *looks at hot rod and humble bee* "Y E S"
ER Ratchet can kinda get away with the back section. It's umm... a umm.... OOH! A wheelchair/stretcher entrance! Yeah! On Ironhide it's... umm..... A wheelchair/stretcher entrance! Yeah!
For some strange reason, when he was showing the leg articulation on the Ratchets I half-expected to see them do the fusion dance. Weird things go through my head sometimes.
Thanks for the awesome review and for the new website picking up a new optimus for my collection
I have to agree with how you said its not that bad. I really think Rachet is underrated.
Amazon-exclusive in the US, but available at the general retail in Asia...
Your work is amazing!!!
I have to say the process of your video was super cool!
My son thought the stop animation and your paint job was great!!!
