Movie Ratchet in Package and Bio
A new auction has appeared on ebay showing Transformers Movie Ratchet in package. Also, you can see his bio on the back of the box
AUTOBOT RATCHET is devoted to saving life, no matter what form it takes, and no matter whose it is. Every AUTOBOT has had his Spark preserved at least once by him, and more than one DECEPTICON has opened his optical sensors after a mortal blow only to find AUTOBOT RATCHET welding shut the final incidion. He joined up with OPTIMUS PRIME not because he wanted to be a soldier, but because he believed the AUTOBOTS presented the last, best hope of perserving life in the Universe against the evil of the DECEPTICONSSTRENGTH 4

Toyfair UK 07 – Lots of News
Before 2006, as with every year, Hasbro UK attends the UK Toyfair in January, promises lots of things, and disappoints us fans when nothing happens. After last year, where the UK received a great deal of the Cybertron toyline, and started getting Classics a month after the USA, it seems we can start to trust Hasbro UK again.
Prowlus of TFW2005 has attended the Toydair today and returned with scans of Hasbro UK’s catalogue. There is a page with Classics, Titaniums (3″ and 6″) and Alternators, and multiple pages for the Transformers Movie (1,2,3,4).
Prowlus also reports that there is no chance of the 10th Anniversary Beast Wars reaching the UK.

Movie Ratchet and Optimus Blaster in Packaging
Two new Transformers Movie toy images to be shown, including both Ratchet as well as a roleplay toy featuring Optimus Prime’s arm in packing.
It may be relevant to many fans that the Ratchet packing features an image of his movie head.

Classics Wave 2 in European Packaging
TFW2005 have come across new packaged images of Classics Mini-Cons Wave 2, which haven’t been released yet. They are shown in European packaging, which means they will likely hit parts of Europe within the next 2/3 months, but hopefully means Wave 1 of the Classic Mini-Cons will also arrive in that time.
The images can be found here.
