Talk:Ratchet (Animated)
I can't wait to use the "now with fighting paunch" quote from Frisky Dingo whenever I talk about Ratchet--Carrion 18:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
"Is Ratchet (Animated) the same as Ratchet (G1)?" Discussion
Just to give this discussion someplace to live . . .
Given that A) Ratchet fought in the last Great War, millions of years ago, and B) the last Great War is depicted using G1 footage, a tempting fanon conclusion might be that Animated is in fact a sequel to G1, set millions of years later, and that most of the characters are new characters with the same name (like Megatron (G1) and Megatron(BW)), except for Ratchet (Animated), who is in fact the same character as Ratchet (G1).
Except that G1 was set in 1984, and Animated is not set in 1984-plus-millions-of-years. It's set around 2008. Ergo, while the last Great War that Ratchet fought in might have strongly resembled G1 in many ways, it couldn't have involved 1984 Earth, and so is radically different from G1 in that respect, at least.
