Rattletrap is an Autobot from the Transformers Animated continuity family.

Rattletrap apparently gave info on Omega Supreme's activation codes to Shockwave. He was later interrogated by Ratchet and 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 had been tailing them the whole time, and let them in.

Notes

  • Rattletrap is an homage to Rattrap from 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, most of the time.
  • Rattletrap's name comes off as a portemanteau of both his American name and his Japanese name (Rattle), but as "rattletrap" is actually a word, that's probably more of a coincidence than anything intentional.
  • Rattletrap's face was given to Transformers fan Peaugh in the form of a Twitter avatar as a gift from Derrick Wyatt. Little did he know it was a spoiler in disguise!
  • Rattletrap's voice owes a little more to Lou Costello than usual.
