As a loyal Mini-Con warrior under [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]'s command, '''Rumble''' loves using his quake-producing armament to shake up the opposition. Though he is most often found by the side (or rather, ''inside'') of his powerful commander, Rumble can be a surprisingly effective warrior on his own, throwing even warriors like [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)#War for Cybertron video game|Optimus]] for a tumble!

He is [[FIRRIB|blue!]]

:''Voice actor:'' [[Keith Silverstein]] (English)

Following the defeat of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] in the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Vaults]], the [[Autobot]] leader was transferred to [[Kaon]] prison facility where he was tortured by Soundwave. In the hopes of luring [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] to Kaon, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and Soundwave orchestrated events that allowed Zeta Prime to send a message to the Autobots revealing of his survival. Even though the Autobots recognized it for the trap it was, Optimus nevertheless led [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sidewipe]] allowing themselves to be captured and briefly imprisoned. They broke free, releasing all of the other Autobots in the prison and fought their way to Soundwave's laboratory. Soundwave protected himself behind an impenetrable forcefield and unleashed Rumble, [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], and [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] upon the Autobots. Any attempt by Optimus and his team to free Zeta was met with a gleeful attack by Rumble and his compatriots. However, when they received damage, Soundwave was forced to leave his protective shield to administer repairs, leaving him open to attack. Eventually, Soundwave and his minions were overwhelmed and had to retreat but not before mortally wounding Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

Ratbat (WFC)

:''Ratbat is a [[Decepticon]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)| War for Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:WFCcomicEliteGuard.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]

'''Ratbat''' was the [[Mini-Con]] representative for the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] in the days before the great war. He was well known for being corrupt and in the pocket of the wealthy elite. The general opinion was that he believed only what he was paid to, and only while the payment was good. When the war began he left that position, along with fellow Council member [[Contrail]], to join Megatron's Decepticons.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus''===

Ratbat generally made useless interjections during [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]'s hearing before the High Council, humiliating Orion when he joked he could imagine an end to their session when the young librarian complained the [[caste system]] had rendered the society imaginationless. Ratbat became more serious when Halogen began to concur with Orion and Megatron's beliefs, and was informed that no matter what, it was the beginning of the end for the castes.

Ratbat then mentioned attempts to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] had been made by the rebels, and uncharacteristically commented since it had not been found, the Matrix was unwilling to give itself up. This in turn led to the Council's unanimous vote for Orion to become Optimus Prime and be given the quest to find it. An enraged Megatron killed [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]], declared war and called the Decepticons to follow him. Optimus noticed Ratbat boarded Contrail and left with the Decepticons. During the war [[Polyhex]], Ratbat's home, quickly fell to the Decepticons. Teracycles later, Ratbat's cowardly survival was notable enough for [[Teletraan-1]] to inform [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] of it. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}

==Notes==
* What exactly Contrail and Ratbat were doing is rather unclear. It seems very likely they were already of Megatron's camp, given that they leave with the rest of the "secret" Decepticons in the Council Chambers at the end of that confrontation. If so, their outward aggression during procedures was probably intentional, masking leading questions to influence the direction of the meeting... But if ''that'' is so, why did they then vote for Orion Pax as the new Prime? This was clearly not part of the infuriated Megatron's plan. Yet regardless of this apparent betrayal they felt safe enough leaving with Megatron's Decepticons.
**When asked on Twitter, [[Alex Irvine]] said "Megatron knows that sometimes you have to say one thing and do another... don't think there are hard feelings [between him and the senators]."[http://twitter.com/alexirvine/status/36061638025023488]
* Ratbat is described as being the Mini-Cons's representative to the Council. So it's not surprising that he's often described as being tiny and scampering. As of the end of the story, he's also the only Mini-Con that is depicted talking, versus communicating in beeps and tones. ([[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] are said to be able to, but use the coded beeps and tones when it's quicker or more efficient.)
