''Ratchet is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Universe]] conflict.''

Unlike his [[Generation 1]] alternate universe [[Ratchet (G1)|counterpart]], '''Ratchet''''s patients have a problem relating to him outside of his role as a doctor. Quiet and modest, he's not much of a social animal. However, he's the best there is at what he does. You'd have to look long and hard to find a better surgeon than Ratchet. He often performs this duty at the risk of his own personal exhaustion. Ratchet is dedicated solely to his work.

=Fiction=
===3H Universe Comics===
Ratchet is one of countless Transformers who had been pulled from his timestream and imprisoned within the [[Cauldron]] arena inside the shattered remains of [[Unicron]]. When [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] managed to arrange a prison break, Ratchet was part of the group that managed to flee. But instead of being transported back to his home dimension, he found himself on the [[technorganic]] [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] that Silverbolt called home.

Though distressed and confused at this turn of events, Ratchet quickly got to work on [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], attempting to find a way to remove the Unicron virus that had infected the Transformers who had been sent into combat within the Cauldron.

=Toys=
Ratchet is a [[redeco]] of the [[Robots in Disguise]] [[X-Brawn (RiD)|X-Brawn]] toy, transforming into an emergency-response Mercedes-Benz ML320 SUV. He has a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm; one of the projectiles of which is very similar to a giant scalpel. He is ''technically'' named "Autobot Ratchet" to better protect the [[trademark]] on the name "Ratchet".

He and [[Inferno (TFU)|Inferno]] were released with the "sub-line" name "Machine Robot Rescue" printed on their cards in a fairly blatant attempt by [[Hasbro]] to prevent rival toy company Bandai from marketing one of their Japanese transforming robot toy lines in the US under that name. Whether or not this was ultimately neccessary is debatable, as the line was never brought to the US.
