Ratchet (SG)

This article is about the evil Autobot "medic". For his heroic Autobot medic counterpart, see Ratchet (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Ratchet (disambiguation).

Ratchet is an evil Autobot "medic" from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

Suicide is a hell of a lot less painless than this guy.

To say Ratchet is the Autobots' medic would be a falsehood. Ratchet is where Optimus Prime sends the wounded from battle, but not for repairs. No, they are sent there for punishment. Any Autobot ordered there has to be dragged kicking and screaming.

It's not that Ratchet wants to terrorize his patients. In fact, he honestly believes that he's doing them a great favor! Who wouldn't want some rusty old equipment replacing their head? That would look so cool! And he really doesn't understand why they get so upset after seeing the end result of his loving care. But Ratchet shrugs off their cries of protest and confusion. They'll come around eventually.

You don’t like it? But almost everyone has two hands! Five digits? Pffff. How boring! You, now... you're interesting now!Ratchet is hurt that Rodimus doesn't appreciate his work, "Dungeons & Dinobots"

Fiction

Shattered Glass

After a harrowing Dinobot Hunt, Rodimus woke up on Ratchet's operating table, having lost a hand in a battle with Grimlock and the Decepticons. Rodimus, in a panic, immediately tried to leave, and objected to Ratchet's offer to add a second vocoder. It was then that Rodimus noticed that his hand had been not repaired, but replaced with a jagged sawblade. Ratchet was momentarily saddened by Rodimus's dissatisfaction with his "upgrade," but his grin of psychotic amusement returned quickly enough.
