:''Rartorata is a [[Blendtron]] from the [[Beast Wars]] and [[Beast Wars Neo]] portions of the [[Generation 1]]/[[Beast Era]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Rartorata''' (also spelled Rartorarta, Rartalarta, [[Red Alert (disambiguation)|Red Alert]], Roto-Rooter, [[Patton Oswalt|Ratatouille]], and [[Nancy (G1)|Nancy]]) is a cruel servitor of [[Unicron]] with an impossibly goofy name that basically fails to make sense in any language known to man. Rartorata is easily the most vicious of the Blendtron trio, ready to sacrifice anything, even his team-mates [[Elephorca]] and [[Drancron]], to accomplish his mission.

Besides transforming into a hideous fish/bee monster, Rartorata carries a "ceremonial rapid-fire poison arrow launcher", which may in fact make him some kind of ninja. Sometimes there are lots of him.

You go, Lartarartolarltorartlroar.

Larrylatta, with [[Elephorca]] and [[Drancron]], offered [[Angolmois]] capsules to [[Shokaract]]. {{storylink|The Ascending (issue 1)}} However, they were, in secret, agents of Unicron, seeking only to use Shokaract as a "vessel" for some currently unknown purpose. Rartorata was dispatched by Unicron to Earth to deal with the possible threat of the gathered Maximal and Predacon troops, and upon arriving immediately stung [[Razorbeast]], turning him into a raging feral animal. {{storylink|The Ascending (issue 2)}}

: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''X-6'''

: Lertlerta is a barely-altered [[redeco]] of the [[Fuzor]] [[Injector]], transforming into a hornet-lionfish fusion. Pressing down on a plate on the back of his head in either mode tilts it forward and deploys spring-loaded spines on his skull. His beast-mode stinger detaches to form a spring loaded missile launcher (the aforementioned "ceremonial rapid-fire poison arrow launcher").

: Basically, the only differences between Rartorata and Injector are that Throatwobbler Mangrove has a lighter, charcoal gray plastic instead of Injector's black, plus a Blentron-sigil heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] rather than Injector's [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] one.

==Trivia==
* Many attempts were made to Romanize the character's nonsense name until finally, in 2007, the [[IDW]] ''Beast Wars'' comics set down a canonical English name for the little fella. Which ''still'' doesn't make any goddamn sense. It's like the whole [[Deathsaurus]] thing all over again, only there wasn't an option that looked like it ''meant'' something.

* One vaguely likely explanation for the name of this guy is that the scientific name for his lionfish half is ''Pterois '''lunulata''''', and even that's a bit of a stretch.
