This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. |
- Onebox components are Transformer components from the Generation 1 continuity family.
When Ironhide and Ratchet transform into robot mode, part of their vehicle mode forms the Onebox component. Ironhide's becomes a weapons platform and Ratchet's is a repair bay.
Fiction
Generation 1
Cartoon continuity
Ratchet's component stood ready as Hauler rescued Hound. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1
Although Ironhide never deployed his separate component, he did utilize its missile launcher/laser. In van mode, he had Bumblebee climb inside, and man it to trench off a rushing flood and save a nearby town. More than Meets the Eye, Part 2 Later, he extended the launcher out of his own back as he chased escaping Decepticons, and blew part of Skywarp's tailfin off. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3
Marvel Comics continuity
When first arriving on Earth, Ironhide and Ratchet rode their components around. The Transformers Power Play!
Soon, however, both Ironhide and Ratchet began walking without the aid of their component.
Ratchet's component helped repair Gears. It even spoke, reporting when it finished minimum repairs on him. Prisoner of War!
Healers, Fighters, and Transformers
The two times Ratchet transformed, he did so while leaving his repair bay as a separate component, which did not itself transform beyond deploying the caterpillar tracks. Ratchet loaded a car crash victim into the repair bay before reconnecting with it while transforming back into an ambulance to transport her to a hospital. Healers, Fighters, and Transformers
IDW Generation 1 continuity
As Ratchet repaired Broadside and Jetfire, his repair bay sat next to him. International Incident Part 2: "Ranks of Bronze"
Wings Universe
Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.
Toys
Generation 1
- Ironhide (1984/1991/2001)
- Japanese ID number: 98
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles
- Ironhide splits when he transforms, with most of the rear section of his van mode transforming into a battle platform, and the remainder becoming his rather misshapen, headless robot form.
- Ratchet (1984/1986/1990/2001/2007)
- Japanese ID number: 99
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles
- The toy transforms from an ambulance to a robot and gun-station.
Timelines
- Descent into Evil (Multi-figure boxset, 2005)
- Accessories: Fold out gun/radar energon weapon, BotCon 2005 pin
- Like Ironhide's original toy, this redeco/retool of Energon Tow-Line splits from a van into a robot mode and a battle sled.
- Autobot Ratchet & Flareup (2005)
- Accessories: Lightbar/blaster
- In robot mode, Ratchet's lower vehicle portion becomes a mobile battle/repair platform. Also a redeco/retool of Energon Tow-Line.
Encore
- Ironhide (2007)
- Japanese ID number: 05
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles
- Ironhide's original Generation 1 toy was made available again in mid-December 2007 as part of Takara's ongoing Encore line of reissues.
- Ratchet (2007)
- Japanese ID number: 05
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles
- Ratchet's original Generation 1 toy was made available again in mid-December 2007 as part of Takara's ongoing Encore line of reissues.
- Protect Black Ironhide (2008)
- Japanese ID number: 05
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles
- Tied in to Ironhide's Encore reissue was e-HOBBY's exclusive "New Year Special" redeco of the figure: Protect Black Ironhide.
- Ratchet Emergency Green (2008)
- Accessories: "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles
- A redeco of the original toy (well, the retooled Encore version) which homages the live-action movie Ratchet, Ratchet Emergency Green is a Japanese mail-away exclusive available with a purchase of the book Transformers Visualworks.
Notes
- In the first issue of the Marvel comic, there is a gun platform on the Ark that strongly resembles this component.
- This component is absent in Ironhide and Ratchet's character model, where the robot transforms directly into the whole vehicle. The robot mode itself was extensively redesigned, giving these characters a very low degree of toy-accuracy.
- This component is not mentioned in the text of the characters' bios, Universe profiles, or MTMTE profiles, but it is included in the artwork.
- Other Ironhide and Ratchet toys have been produced that do not include this component.
