Ratchet (05-01-09)
Transformer of the Day for May 1, 2009
RATCHET
-Faction: Autobot
-Era: Animated (2008 - Present)
-Function: Medic
-Motto: “Hold Still - This Won’t Hurt a Bit
-Notable Toy: Crystal Prime (Takara, 2003)
Notes: Ratchet never got his due in Generation One cartoon, where he was always left to fix the bots. Now, in the early days of the comic, that was a different story. Taking on Megatron alone, or even the Mechanic, before being passed over for the latest and greatest. Animated Ratchet is a medic too, but he’s one with a past, and he’s probably my favourite character on the show for it. Plus the Activator toy is a pretty nice piece.
