You may not be able to depend on '''Rattrap'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s courage, but you can depend on him to have a lot of toys.

===''Beast Wars''===
[[File:BW-toy Rattrap.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Less cute than advertised.]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Basic Class, 1996/1997)
**''Takara ID number'': '''C-5'''
**''Accessories'': 2-part [[Fusion weaponry#Fusion pistol|pistol]]

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Basic toys, Rattrap transforms from a large rat to robot mode with a spring-action, [[Autotransformation|one-step transformation]] activated by pulling up on the base of his tail. His beast mode "shell" halves each hide a part of his handgun.

: Initial release of [[Hasbro]] Rattrap came on a "rocky bubble" style card, which was quickly replaced with a "smooth bubble" style card in wave 2. Rattrap shipped on both styles of card, but the rocky-bubble version is rarer, and commands a higher price on the secondary market, if keeping toys in rare-ish packaging is your particular collecting "thing".

: In Japan, "Rattle" was similarly released in the first wave of product in July 1997, and was basically identical to the Hasbro version. However, in January 1998, many first-wave toys were re-released with altered decoes to make them more show-like. For Rattrap, this mainly meant his robot mode head got a humongous glob of shiny copper paint (that didn't really match his copper plastic in tone). This copper was also used on his hands. His beast mode eyes were changed from yellow to red, and dark gray paint was added to his rat nose, although oddly the [[paint operation]]s on his rodent teeth were dropped altogether.

: This mold was also used to make [[Packrat#Toys|Packrat]].

*'''Rocky Mountain Showdown: Rattle VS Terrorsaurer''' (Vs pack, July 1997 / January 1998)
**''ID number'': '''VS-5'''
**''Accessories'': 2-part [[Fusion weaponry#Fusion pistol|pistol]]

: In Japan, Rattrap was available both separately and in a "Rocky Mountain Showdown" (岩山の対決, ''iwayama no taiketsu'') two-pack with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Terrorsaur (BW)#Toys|Terrorsaur]].

: Two variants of the set exist: the original releases and the 1998 [[redeco]] versions. The toys are identical to their individual releases.

*'''Rattrap''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 1998/1999)
**''Takara ID number'': '''C-43'''
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: Part of the second wave of Hasbro Deluxe [[Transmetal]]s, Rattrap transforms from semi-organic robot to a robotic rat. He has a third "beast-vehicle" form, folding his hind feet up into the extending rear wheels, flipping up his front legs, and pulling out a pair of [[Anatomic euphemism#Exhaust port|exhaust pipes]] (eyuw, the smell!). His beast mode tail becomes a whip for robot mode. There is a minor variant to this toy: about midway through the production run, a small "catch" was added to the neck's swivel joint to lock his robot head in place in robot mode. This [[retool]]ed version was then used for all subsequent releases of the toy.

: Despite the show's portrayal, his hubcaps are ''not'' removable (well, not in a way that won't break the toy), he does ''not'' have a handgun, and his back kibble does ''not'' rotate 180 degrees.

: This release is one of several toys notorious for severe chrome-flaking issues. Later redecoes -including the Takara release below- do not seem to have this problem (at least, not anywhere as bad or widespread).

: For the Japanese ''Beast Wars Metals'' release of "Metals Rattle" in September 1999, the toy was given a large number of deco changes that, while individually minor, add up to a considerably different-looking, arguably more show-accurate toy (at least in robot mode). The most immediately noticeable is that the "RATTRAP" [[tampograph]] on his beast mode back was changed to "CYBERTRON" with the [[Maximal]] [[Insignia|faction symbol]]. However, his entire color scheme has been slightly altered: his gray-tan plastics and are now more blueish-gray, the champagne-silver paint is now more cold silver, his brown base turned into a very dark pearlescent maroonish-purple, the chrome was given a much more maroon tone, and the bright orange changed to a darker, redder shade. (This version has the neck-catch tooling, in case you were wondering, which you weren't, but we're telling you anyway.)

*'''Flash Showdown: Metals Rattle VS Metals Terrorsaurer'''
**''ID number'': '''VS-43'''
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: In Japan, Transmetal Rattrap was available both as an individual and in a "Flash Showdown" (閃光の対決, ''senkō no taiketsu'') VS pack with [[Terrorsaur (BW)#Transmetal|Transmetal Terrorsaur]]. Both toys are identical to their individual releases.

*'''Rattrap''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 1999)
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: The first store-[[exclusive]] Transformer in the ''Beast Wars'' line, Transmetal Rattrap was given a deep blue color scheme. He was only available as a [[Walmart]] exclusive, even having the Walmart logo emblazoned on the bubble as part of the design.

: This toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as a Transmetal form for [[Packrat]].

*'''Metals Rattle Special Version''' (Pack-in Deluxe, 1999)
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: The Deluxe Transmetal Rattrap toy was given a white and orange deco and packed in with a 500-piece ''Beast Wars Metals'' jigsaw puzzle from Central Hobby.

:Oddly, this toy uses the Hasbro "RATTRAP" tampograph on the rat mode back rather than the Takara "CYBERTRON" and symbol mark. This is likely due to the fact it was released long before Metals was released in Japan.

:This toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' version of [[Rattrap (BWSG)|Rattrap]] and as [[Labrat]].

*'''Rattrap''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: As part of the first wave of 2000's "[[Fox Kids]]" Transmetals series, this version of Rattrap was one of the last releases in the original retail ''Beast Wars'' line. The toy got a more primary red color scheme, with bright gray robot bits and deep blue/purplish chrome.

: This toy was released in Japan as part of a [[JafCon]] convention exclusive set (without changes) along with the "Fox Kids" Transmetals versions of [[Airazor (BW)#TMFK|Airazor]] and [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#TMFK|Cheetor]].

===''Beast Machines''===
[[File:BMtoy-RattrapMcD.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Is that whiteface?]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Happy Meal, 2000)

: Part of the ''Beast Machines'' McDonald's Happy Meal promotion, Rattrap transforms into a technorganic rat modeled more after the cartoon model than the toy. As such, his robot mode does not have normal legs, only extendable wheels. His toy also features light piping that in theory illuminates the Maximal [[spark]] on his stomach. Being made of softer plastic and having no removable parts, he is very suitable for the younger set.

[[File:BMtoy-RattrapRedRooster.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Ever want to know what the children would look like?]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Little Red Rooster meal, 2001)

: The McDonald's Happy Meal Rattrap was also released in Australia through the Red Rooster restaurant rai—uh, chain. Like the other three pieces used, it came in four color schemes: the original colors (with opaques replacing the transparents), a reversed red-with-green, a deep blue with very light blue, and a light blue with deep blue.

:These versions of the mold were retooled from the original, removing almost all arm articulation (and a step in the transformation), plugging up the light piping, and reducing the number of parts and plastic colours used by the toy. Oddly, even though Little Red Rooster Meal Rattrap no longer has light piping he has a red paint app (on all 4 versions) on his back to simulate the red circle of transluscent plastic on the original's back.

[[File:Rattrapbeastmachinesmega.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Nobody's truly disabled so long as they have <s>courage</s> a third mode!]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Mega Class, 2001)
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: Rattrap was the last release in the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' toyline before the change to the "Battle for the Spark" packaging, not appearing on shelves until long after the rest of his Season 1 compatriots. Reportedly, Rattrap was delayed for redesign purposes.

:Rattrap transforms into a large [[technorganic]] rat. In beast mode, turning his tail moves his head and ears. In robot mode, he has a flip-down visor and moving jaw. His robot legs can also fold up so he can use his wheels, which also have flip-out blades. His beast tail becomes a hand-held whip. He possesses an orange spark crystal, concealed within his body, making it visible only in mid-transformation.

===''Beast Wars Returns''===
*'''Rattle''' ([[November 18]], [[2004]])
**''ID number'': '''BR-03'''
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip
: The above Mega Class toy was later released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as "Rattle" in the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars Returns'' line]], made available only at Japanese Toys "R" Us stores. It appears that there are no notable differences between the Hasbro and Takara versions aside from packaging.

===''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary''===
[[File:BW10th-Rattrap.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Not phallic at all.]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Deluxe Class, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' product, the original [[#TM1|Transmetal Rattrap toy]] was given a slight deco modification for better show accuracy: mainly a brighter, more neutral gray plus a Maximal sigil on his chest (the latter ironically making him look ''less'' show accurate). He came with the right arm to the "build-a-bot" [[Transmutate (BW)|Trans-Mutate]], plus a DVD of the episode "[[A Better Mousetrap]]"... an episode that, oddly enough, features Rattrap in his original organic body.

: Rattrap is also the only ''10th Anniversary'' figure that is redeco'd from the Transmetal rather than the organic body, perhaps because the original Basic figure wasn't large enough to be sold on the same price point as others in the line, or because the original Basic figure's mold is lost or stolen.

===''Timelines''===
[[File:Timelinestoy-RattrapDoFP.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Mmmm, cheese wheel.]]
*'''Dawn of Future's Past''' (BotCon 2006 boxset)
**''Accessories'': Blaster, "Golden Disk Key"

: ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' "Axalon Rattrap" is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Scout Class [[Ransack (Cybertron)#Toys|Ransack]], transforming into a Cybertronic motorcycle. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]]—or in this set's case, a [[Golden Disk Key]]—into the rear portion of his bike mode flips out a pair of non-firing guns. This assembly detaches to form a hand-held blaster in robot mode. This is thus far the only version of the ''Cybertron'' Ransack mold to have the "correct" rear wheel assembly position.

: Rattrap came in a boxed 5-pack with "Axalon" versions of [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Timelines|Optimus Primal]], [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Timelines|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (BW)/toys#Timelines|Rhinox]], and "[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]" [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Timelines|Dinobot]]. This set was also made available as a bagged set in more limited numbers.

: This mold was also the model for non-toy characters [[Quickslinger (Cybertron)|Quickslinger]] and the "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]" video incarnation of [[Tarantulas (BW)#Timelines|Tarantulas]].

===''Generations''===
====''Thrilling 30''====
[[File:Generationstoy-Rattrap.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|At long last, I can finally move my legs!]]
*'''Rattrap''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #017'''
**''Accessories'': 2 blasters, demolition charge

:Part of the ninth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations#Thrilling 30|Generations: Thrilling 30]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Rattrap is a new mold that reattempts the original toy but at a larger size and with a more complicated transformation. He has two blasters which can combine to form a larger rifle, and his left forearm opens to reveal a demolition charge. The blaster can be stored securely in a slot between the robot's back and the backpack to simulate Rattrap reaching behind his head to draw it. Additionally, he is jointed so that he can be standing upright in rat mode, much like he did in the television show, and extra fur-textured plastic is placed at the back of his neck so that it can close up the gap when his rat head is facing downwards. His tail is rubberized with a wire running through it, allowing it to be posed. Though, like most Deluxe Class ''Generations'' toys, he is tooled to have lightpiped eyes, his eyes are painted over in red.

:He suffers from a design flaw in which an overly tight transformation joint in the shins can crack the legs or cause stress marks. This can be fixed with careful trimming of the back of the joint.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/generations-rattrap.985384/page-6#post-11166033 Post by optimusfan at TFW2005]</ref>

:He comes with a copy of "[[Finest Hour: Dark Cybertron Chapter 5|Finest Hour]]", which places its pages massively out of order and does not actually feature Rattrap.

:Notably, the photo on the back of the box depicts him with a large Maximal logo on his right robot mode leg that is not present on the actual toy.

:This mold was redecoed into [[BotCon 2015]] [[Packrat#Timelines|Packrat]].

:Part of the first wave of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class toys, Rattrap is a 3-inch-tall toy that transforms from a robot mode based on his ''Beast Wars'' cartoon appearance into a significantly more realistic rat than his ''Thrilling 30'' toy, and comes with a fusion blaster based on Rattrap's weapon from the cartoon. As part of the Core Class, the reveal press release describes him as "a mini version of the iconic character to pose out with other RATTRAP toys at larger scales", though the toy is already to scale with other ''Kingdom'' toys.

: His hands are ''hilariously'' positioned in rat mode.

: Part of a set of four Kabaya [[candy toy]]s, the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Gum|Beast Wars Gum]]'' version of Rattrap is an unpainted and unassembled plastic kit that "transforms"—that is to say, breaks down into its component parts and is rebuilt in a different configuration— from rat to robot mode. Although based closely on [[#Basic1|the original toy]], it is much smaller (and cheaper, of course), featuring only a few sparse [[sticker]]s for details. It is cast entirely in grayish-tan and pale yellow plastics, as are the other three toys in the set: [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]].

:Kabaya decided against producing transforming model kits to tie in with ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (franchise)|Beast Wars Metals]]'', instead releasing the ''[[Metallic Beast Ramune]]'' kits: hollow non-transforming figures partially made of colorless, translucent plastic, inside which chromed plastic pieces were placed for that familiar shiny Transmetal look. Rattrap was one of the four characters released in this series, and was available with either blue or golden chrome parts, including a chromed version of his tail-whip weapon.
{{-}}

===Metals Hero Ramune===
*'''Rattle''' (candy toy, 1999)

:Like their earlier ''Beast Wars Ramune'' line, Kabaya's ''[[Metal Hero Ramune]]'' series consisted of non-transforming figures of the ''Beast Wars'' cast, now in their Transmetal bodies. Rattrap was one of seven figures available in the wave, cast as a hollow PVC figurine attached to a base.

War for Cybertron: Kingdom

{{nav-WarForCybertronSiege}}

[[File:WFC-Kingdom-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|So, with Galvatron its just Megatron with a different helmet...great job Hasbro]]
'''''War For Cybertron: Kingdom''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the final portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed at [[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]], ''War for Cybertron: Kingdom'' is a toyline in celebration of the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. A first for any toyline, this subline is generally split between "Generation 1" characters and those from ''Beast Wars''. As a direct continuation of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', ''Kingdom'' carries over the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], meaning most toys feature 3 mm and [[5 mm post]]s to accommodate the weapons and the effect parts from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and other toylines. Due to the realistic animal modes, ''Beast Wars'' characters only employ the C.O.M.B.A.T. System in robot mode. Much like its predecessor, ''Kingdom'' has rereleases of toys from the previous subline, ''Earthrise''.

This toyline sees the addition of the "Core Class", a return to the Legends Class from the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', replacing the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Battle Master]]s of previous lines. ''Kingdom'' also features the "Fossilizers", new skeletal characters amongst the Deluxe Class, replacing the Weaponizers and [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulators]]. As part of the "[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]]" (Fossilized Osteo-Skeletal Shield Integration Loadout), they can be taken apart to form armor or weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Unlike the previous toylines, the battle damage decoes are completely absent, and the robot mode [[scale]] falters due to the larger size of the ''Beast Wars'' characters and the smaller size of Generation 1 characters in the Core Class.

Not too dissimilar to ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', all figures from Deluxe Class upwards include [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards with a peelable foil sheet, revealing one of three different variants, each revealing a different [[Golden Disk Destinies|destiny]] for the character.

'''''War For Cybertron: Kingdom''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the final portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed at [[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]], ''War for Cybertron: Kingdom'' is a toyline in celebration of the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. A first for any toyline, this subline is generally split between "Generation 1" characters and those from ''Beast Wars''. As a direct continuation of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', ''Kingdom'' carries over the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], meaning most toys feature 3 mm and [[5 mm post]]s to accommodate the weapons and the effect parts from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and other toylines. Due to the realistic animal modes, ''Beast Wars'' characters only employ the C.O.M.B.A.T. System in robot mode. Much like its predecessor, ''Kingdom'' has rereleases of toys from the previous subline, ''Earthrise''.

This toyline sees the addition of the "Core Class", a return to the Legends Class from the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', replacing the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Battle Master]]s of previous lines. ''Kingdom'' also features the "Fossilizers", new skeletal characters amongst the Deluxe Class, replacing the Weaponizers and [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulators]]. As part of the "[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]]" (Fossilized Osteo-Skeletal Shield Integration Loadout), they can be taken apart to form armor or weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Unlike the previous toylines, the battle damage decoes are completely absent, and the robot mode [[scale]] falters due to the larger size of the ''Beast Wars'' characters and the smaller size of Generation 1 characters in the Core Class.

Not too dissimilar to ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', all figures from Deluxe Class upwards include [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards with a peelable foil sheet, revealing one of three different variants, each revealing a different [[Golden Disk Destinies|destiny]] for the character.
