Ratchet (Animated)
| The name or term "Ratchet" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ratchet (disambiguation). |
- Ratchet is an Autobot in the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Ratchet is one of the oldest Autobots on Optimus Prime's team. He's also second in command. Though sporting a bit of paunch, he's a true veteran. Having served as a medibot millions of years ago in the Great War, he's the only one of the group to have seen real combat before. Old wounds physical and mental have made him bitter, mostly in regards to heroism. 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.
His special power is based on magnetism; he can move metal-based objects, and create shields. He enjoys grumbling about almost everything, being sarcastic, and having war flashback, just like any old man.
He's not Kup. Honestly.
