  • Energon Crystal: AP Cure

Ratchet Spanner is an Arms Micron figure that transforms from a robot resembling Ratchet's robot mode into, befittingly, an oversized wrench, compatible with the Arms Micron weapon system via numerous 5 mm posts and holes. He was part of the third wave of Gacha Arms Microns.

• Ratchet Spanner MX (Gacha Arms Micron, March 2013)
  • ID number: 5
  • Energon Crystal: AP Cure

At the very tail-end of Prime, all twelve Gacha molds were re-released all in one go as a "Special Edition" wave through the capsule machines. The Autobots were cast in clear-blue "Matrix Power Up!" forms, retaining their normal paint operations, though the eyes have changed from blue to red. Wheeljack Kunai's red and gray paint has an added metal-flake sheen not present in the original.

Notes

• "Spanner" is British English for wrench, in case you couldn't tell.
• Ratchet Spanner and the other Arms Microns with robot modes resembling larger show-cast characters are considered separate characters by this wiki on the grounds that the only fiction we have on them is the over-arcing backstory of the Arms Microns: non-living weapons were exposed to special Earth energon and turned into living miniature robots. Obviously, being a new form for Ratchet doesn't really work with this. So until something official says otherwise...
