Talk:Ratchet (WFC)

Can we please either change his quote to "[BULKHEAD,] I NEEDED THAT!" or add it in the cartoon section? It's probably far more memorable (and maybe even more defining) that the current one.

No. Quotes are meant to give an idea of the character, not to reference a recurring quote. --Detour 01:56, 20 April 2011 (EDT)

Perhaps, then, it would be appropriate on Bulkhead's page? (Random thought)

I was actually going to add it to Nicole Dubuc's page as a piece of trivia, since it only occurs in her episodes. I've been waiting for her next episode to see if it pops up again though. --abates 21:52, 20 April 2011 (EDT)

Has it? Because it's a really crappy "note", especially if he only used it twice. --Detour 19:12, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

And if anything, it'd be far more noteworthy to point out Bulkhead's tendency to break Ratchet's equipment than calling Ratchet's reaction "a catchphrase". --Detour 19:13, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

As of "Out of His Head," I'd say it's definitely a catchphrase. Which is disheartening, because I liked it the first time, and every time he uses it I like it less. --ItsWalky 19:34, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Is that another Nicole Dubuc episode? --Detour 19:41, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

No idea, but it's irrelevant as to whether it's considered a catchphrase or not. After three separate uses in three separate episodes, that ship has sailed. Mind, either way, it's a crappy-ass main quote. --ItsWalky 20:05, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Oh, yay, it's in the notes!

Shouldn't it be noted he's based off of Animated Ratchet?

No, because he isn't. This Ratchet doesn't even take any visual cues from Animated Ratchet, much less act like him. His personality, like most of the characters in Prime, is almost entirely new. I'll grant that both Ratchets are often grumpy (and, it could be argued, old, but Prime doesn't seem to imply that he's as old as Animated Ratchet was), but their grumpiness is played in different ways and caused by different factors. Distaste for humans is a good example: Animated Ratchet doesn't like humans because he's antisocial and would rather be back home on Cybertron by himself; Prime Ratchet simply finds humans annoying and a hassle, and would prefer to be as far away from them as possible. -¡Usa El Queso! 02:46, 20 May 2011 (EDT)

This Ratchet doesn't even take any visual cues from Animated Ratchet,

Uh... he kinda does. Actually, a fair amount. He is most definitely Animated-Ratchet-inspired on several levels. --M Sipher 12:52, 20 May 2011 (EDT)

So are we going to add a note on all Optimus Prime pages that they're based off of G1 Optimus? When I said "visual cues", what I meant was "near-identical aspects of the character model". I just flipped between the two character models a few times, and I don't really see anything. Yes, they're both primarily white ambulances and forsake the red cross in favor of the heart monitor, but that's as far as I see. It looks to me like they're simply two characters based upon all previous Ratchets - mainly G1. I think people see him as more like Animated because there's very little of Movie Ratchet in him.

I have to agree with Queso, aside from the color scheme and the same carryovers from G1, I don't really see much inspiration from Animated in Prime Ratchet's design. --Detour 21:27, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

Vehicle mode caption

Since it's right next to the trivia anyway, can we please insert the caption "He needed that!" or something very similar? - ¡Usa El Queso! ^{Complain here} 17:51, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

Yes, we know. It's originally from BWTF.com. We're not going to steal those pictures. Thank you. --ItsWalky 23:49, 4 February 2012 (EST)

Operation bumblebee part 2

In the end of operation bumblebee part 2 at the end of the episode ratchet said "thats not all i fixed." What did he mean by that? XD Jacktransformerdude 00:32, 21 March 2012 (EDT)
