- Ratchet is an Autobot from the Movie continuity family.
Ratchet, the Autobots' medic, is probably the bravest of them all. He'll risk his life to pull any wounded comrade from the battlefield. Indeed, he did not join Optimus Prime's team to be a soldier; rather, he's there to save lives, and thinks Prime is the best chance the universe has for peace.

- Voyager Movie Ratchet transforms into a AM General Hummer H2 customised as a fire seach and rescue vehicle. Mostly accurate to the prop vehicle (though the wheels are rather incorrect), Ratchet is missing sculpted detailing for the rear doors and lights on the back of the vehicle, owing to the fact this is where his knee joints are situated. Ratchet is also missing significant amounts of paint applications, with unpainted wheels, emergency tool and light details as well as a underpainted face, resulting in a rather monochromatic toy.
- During transforming, unfolding his legs will activate his Automorphing feature, which folds out his kneepads, feet and 'bulge'-out two small panels along the inner calf. In robot mode, Ratchet is bulkier than his CGI movie design, with larger, blockier limbs evoking a more 'traditional' Transformers appearance. He features a reasonable amount of articulation, though his windshield halves and the rear brush guards may occassionally interfere with his arms and legs.
- The only Autobot to not feature a ranged weapon, Ratchet's right forearm unfolds into an axe, and the removable rollbar/roof rack can either be mounted on his left arm or stored on his back.

- An inexpensive, small-scale version of Ratchet, he remains relatively faithful to his vehicle mode (though highly simplified), but transforms very differently due to his simplicity. In robot mode he has a faux truck-front chest that's more faithful to the CGI design than the Voyager toy's chest, but the rest of his robot mode is understably inaccurate and limited in articulation.
- For some reason he's the wrong shade of green.
