'''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. He is apparently in a relationship with [[Botanica (Animated)|Botanica]].<ref>''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II]]''</ref><br />

Rattletrap was among the crowd welcoming home [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel "Magnus"]] and cheering on the capture of several [[Decepticon]] prisoners. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}} <br />
<br />
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 [[Carmine Fanzone|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}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* Rattletrap's name was not spoken in the episode in which he appeared. It was listed in the end credits.<br />
<br />
* Rattletrap is a homage to [[Rattrap]] from ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|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.]]<br />
<br />
* Rattletrap's name comes off as a [[Wikipedia:portmanteau|portmanteau]] of Rattrap's American name and his Japanese name (Rattle), but "rattletrap" is actually a ''word'' (with an [[Wiktionary:rattletrap|amusingly appropriate meaning]]).<br />
<br />
* 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!<br />
<br />
* Rattletrap's voice owes a little more to [[wikipedia:Lou Costello|Lou Costello]] than Rattrap's did.<br />
<br />
* Amongst the illegal services Rattletrap is known to provide are [[Shock Pop|shock pop]] [[datatrax]], [[prismaball]] tickets and forged [[S.T.A.R.S.]] indento-cards.<br />
<br />
* Seeing how he shares the body type with [[Ransack (Animated)|Ransack]], it is safe to assume that he transforms into a Cybertronian bike.<br />
