Known to human children as ‘Uncle Ratchet’, ‘Greenie Franky’, or ‘Grandpa Ratch’, the Chief Medical Officer of the Autobots is bumbling, wise, and life-loving. Brought into CELESTIAL due to his extraordinary technical know-how, Ratchet disagrees with Prime’s radical new strategy of a single strike force. Then again, he is not a military strategist: he prefers to think of himself as one who works quietly in the background, patching up the wounds of war. His comrades believe otherwise; for although he is the personification of compassion, he is by no means weak or frail. As part of Prime’s elite detachment of Autobots on Earth, there is nothing to look down on about Ratchet.

Weapons: Ratchet’s wise counsel belies his years, and is in fact extremely powerful and skilled. Since upgrading his weapons systems, Ratchet has decided, with a heavy heart, that even a doctor needs protection from wandering marauders. Ratchet has extremely versatile weapons, most of which are specifically designed for search and rescue, search and capture, and recover and protect assignments. To this end he uses a Callidus Class Tomahawk Axe, capable of slicing through steel ropes like melted butter. His axe has been upgraded to be implanted inside his arm, giving him the benefit of surprise. Folded inwards when deployed, the axe configures into a 45-FI Forearm Cannon model, which is more of a stun gun than a killing machine, shooting powerful proton blasts that disable functioning circuits and disrupt communication neuron passages (also useful when placating a wounded, uncooperative Autobot). His multi-purpose Drake Roof Rack triples in function, serving as a combat stretcher for injured Autobots, a Drake Pickup Claw, designed for melee capture purposes, and a shield, which generates an Energon sheet in-between its metal to protect against long-range projectiles.
