I haven't checked these out yet but the more I see them the more interesting the seem.

I know someone who'll be on the lookout for Ratchet

This. I really like the idea behind this series, but why couldn't they have shuffled in at least one Decepticon? That Ratchet mould has already seen two releases, and there are 8,675 other Bumblebees out there, so why couldn't we have gotten a scanning TFTM Brawl and Barricade instead?

Starscream is in the scan series...legends Starscream...but you had no stipulation on size class

I don't understand how the number of repaints Ratchet justifies using Brawl or Barricade instead especially when those molds have more repaints then Ratchet.

Hell if "Starscream" is in the scan series it should be named Skywarp.

Point. Probably should have gone with "recent uses". Last uses of the other two were in the early ROTF line, I think. HFTD "Rescue Ratchet" is still sitting on the pegs at my Zellers. Just would have been nice to see someone who hasn't gotten shelf love in a while. Maybe Bonecrusher would have been a better choice. Never even saw the 2-pack with the random blue Ironhide in my area. He might have been an interesting one to see with that transparency fade done on him.
