Lil Formers #24: Ratchet

Based on actual events. The red cross DID sue Hasbro for using their trademarked cross…. and won! (anyone notice the first repaint of Armada Red Alert no longer has the crosses? yeah, that’s why). So no more red crosses on Ratchet or Red Alert.

    You do spell words wrong. Most of the time. I wonder how much Ratchet owes IRC now.

    And Johnson & Johnson sued the Red Cross for putting the red cross on first aid kits.

    Karma is a bitch.

    Isn’t Ratchet a ambulence?(I spelt that wrong, I know it) Wouldn’t that make sense for the Red Cross? And promoting them?

    at M’s Follower:

    The Red Cross is a real stickler for preserving their trademarks because they are a near universally accepted relief organization that can even cross enemy lines often.

    When a few of the Columbian hostages were rescued there was talk of charging the rescuers with war crimes if it was felt their disguise was deemed too Red Cross like.

    So they probably didn’t want a walking WMD, though a medic WMD, risk giving the impression they supported it.

    That sucks.. :( poor Ratchet and Hasbro, lol

  13. Rodimus Prime

    Of course, now he’ll have the X-Men after him…

    I bet I know what Ratchet’s thinking ” CURSE YOU RED CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
    P.S.- Red Cross, it aint smart to make a giant 2 story robot w/guns and weapons mad. You may be GONORS.

    why would you trademark the Red Cross? it’s POINTLESS!
