Flareup was among the crowd welcoming home [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel "Magnus"]] and cheering on the capture of several [[Decepticon]] prisoners. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

When a [[Carmine Fanzone|disgusting organic]] teleported to Cybertron, Flareup was among the crowd of Autobots that panicked, telling her larger friend [[Grandus (Animated)|Grandus]] to step on the disgusting thing. However, [[Ratchet (Animated)|some old medibot]] transwarped into the region and saved the fleshling. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

==Notes==
* The "half-a-sliced-orange" forehead ornamentation on Flareup's character model comes directly from [[Firestar]], on whom the [[Flareup (Timelines)|original Flareup]] was based.
* Flareup's legs resemble pants with extremely wide bottoms... commonly known as ''[[wikipedia:Bell-bottoms|flares]]''.
* Flareup's voice has a Southern twang to it, in a [http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/1747703793 confirmed homage] to [[Anastasia Matejka]]'s Southern-styled performance as the original Flareup in [[BotCon 2008]]'s "[[Bee in the City]]".
*She is ''astonishingly'' male in the Latin American dub of the third season along with [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]] and [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]]. Maybe [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]] is one lucky girl.

'''Rattletrap''' is that one 'bot who will tell you anything if you "persuade" him enough. He's kind of a [[Rattrap|dirty rat]] when you think about it.

Rattletrap apparently gave info on [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]'s activation codes to [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]]. He was later interrogated by [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Captain Fanzone]], who threatened to slime him if he didn't give them access to a high-security infirmary on Cybertron. This threat proved effective, but the access key card Rattletrap provided turned out not to work. Ultimately it didn't matter, as [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] had been tailing them the whole time, and let them in. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

==Notes==
* Rattletrap's name was not spoken in the episode in which he appeared. It was listed in the end credits.

* Rattletrap is an homage to [[Rattrap]] from ''Beast Wars'', specifically his "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]" Cybertronian form. However, he's much more willing to work with the enemy than the original was...well, [[The Weak Component|most of the time.]]

* Rattletrap's name comes off as a [[Wikipedia:portmanteau|portmanteau]] of both his American name and his Japanese name (Rattle), but as "rattletrap" is actually a ''word'' (with an [[Wiktionary:rattletrap|amusingly appropriate meaning]]), that's probably more of a coincidence than anything intentional.

* Rattletrap's face was given to ''Transformers'' fan [http://twitter.com/Peaugh Peaugh] in the form of a Twitter avatar as a gift from [[Derrick J. Wyatt|Derrick Wyatt]]. [http://twitter.com/Peaugh/status/1747165958 Little did he know] it was a spoiler in disguise!

* Rattletrap's voice owes a little more to [[wikipedia:Lou Costello|Lou Costello]] than Rattrap's did.
