Ratchet The Transformer
Appearing in the Transformers Generation1, Ratchet was
almost always portrayed as the Autobots' chief medical officer over the many
forms ( comic run, cartoon, movie etc )
who transforms into an earth ambulance in vehicle mode. He was not featured
in recent Transformers universe until the recently where he was
portrayed as a Rescue Hummer H2 in the
2007 live action film. Due to trademark
issues in the U.S. Ratchet was also referred to Autobot Ratchet, Autobot
Rescue and Red Alert
Apart from that,
there have been other variants of Ratchet in that he had two Robot modes/forms
which was rarely or never In fact seen in the comic run and television cartoon
series. This was seen in the toy mode of Ratchet however.. He was also
the longest-lived of all Transformers in Marvel Transformers comic
series.
Being a medical officer, Ratchet is hardly ever seen on the
battlefield. Often seen in the Autobot base with fellow Autobot Wheeljack creating and repairing those
injured. In fact, it was Ratchet, along with Wheeljack that were
credited for creating the Dinobots, in an attempt to boost the ranks of the
Autobots against the Decepticons.
He is always one to promote peace, believing that war isn't
always the only solution. However, he is
most loyal and courageous, demonstrated time after time. He would obey Optimus
Prime's every command, even if it mean going to the battlefield against his
principles and beliefs. Among the
saying associated with Ratchet are “You break it, I'll remake it”, “All life is
precious”, “Peace may triumph over war” and “Hold still. This won't hurt a bit”
Ratchet's weapons include a rotary saw from his left arm and his right arm is capable of transforming into a machine gun. Other abilities include a laser scan system, enhanced senses ( all based on the 2007 live action-movie), as well as X-Ray vision ( based on Jennifer Franz's “Transformers – Meet the Autobots” book )
