Rassa-frassa KIDS with their loud music and their rocket-powered axes...

Ratchet is one of the oldest Autobots on Optimus Prime's team. He's also second command. Though sporting a bit of paunch, he's a true veteran, and he's the only one of the group to have seen real fighting and war in the past. A leader figure for his comrades, he's got a bit of a military drill sergeant aura to him. He also likes bashing Bumblebee on the head when 'Bee's being a smart-ass.

He's not Kup. Honestly.

Young bots. Can't live with 'em. Can't melt 'em down for spare parts.Ratchet, grumbling and moaning, "Transform and Roll Out!"

According to the historical files Prime watches in the beginning of the pilot episode, the Great War took place many millions of years ago. According to Ratchet, he was in that war, which makes him...pretty old. Also, the fights made him bitter, mostly in regards to heroism. He has quite a knowledge about the Decepticons. His special power is based on magnetism; he can move metal-based objects, and create shields.

He enjoys grumbling, being sarcastic, and having war flashback, just like any old man.

Toy
