Transformers: Prime

5. Hidden attachment to people At first, Ratchet was against having humans in the squad. He feared they would become a burden or die. But over time, he grew attached to Jack, Miko, and Raf. He helps them with their homework, worries about them, and risks his life to save them.

When Raf was infected with Dark Energon, Ratchet refused to take him to a human hospital because he knew the doctors wouldn't understand the nature of the illness. He took the risk himself and cured the boy—by infusing him with regular Energon.

6. Respect for Optimus - but not blindly Ratchet is Optimus Prime's second-in-command and respects him as a leader. But he's not afraid to challenge him. He criticizes his decisions if he believes them to be wrong. This isn't betrayal—it's loyalty to the team.

In the episode "Darkest Hour," he calls Optimus a "traitor" for destroying the Omega Lock. But ultimately, he still defends him because he knows Optimus acted out of the highest moral compass, not weakness.

Main personality traits:

1. Serious and rational Ratchet is the oldest member of the team in age and experience. He always maintains a level head, even in the most desperate situations. His decisions are based on logic, data, and common sense. He rarely gives in to emotion—but when he does, it means the situation is truly critical.

Example: When Optimus Prime decided to defend Earth, jeopardizing the resurrection of Cybertron, Ratchet was furious. Not because he didn't understand the morality of it, but because he saw it as a logical disaster—sacrificing his homeworld for another.

2. The devoted duty of a physician For Ratchet, life is sacred, regardless of faction. He's even treated Decepticons, including Starscream, on numerous occasions, because he believes, "Repairing is not approving." His motto is, "I'm a doctor. I don't choose who I save."

He's not afraid to take responsibility, whether it's risking synthetic energon on himself or using a forbidden procedure (like the cortical psychic patch) to save Optimus. 3. Skeptic and cynic (on the surface) Ratchet often acts as a distrustful observer. He doubts Optimus's plans, criticizes Bumblebee's recklessness, grumbles at Bulkhead, and is suspicious of humans. His favorite line is:

"Bulkhead I needed this!!!" has become a cult classic.

He doesn't like to fight, but when it comes to combat, he becomes a dangerous opponent, using his knowledge of the "anatomy" of transformers to hit their weak points.

4. Internal doubts and self-criticism Despite his talent, Ratchet doesn't believe in his own importance. He believes his contribution to the fight for freedom is too small, that he's "all fixing, no fighting." This uncertainty plagues him, especially when the other Autobots go into battle while he remains at base.

Example: After failing to fully restore Bumblebee's voice after being tortured by Megatron, he said: “I could have done better” – and this became a personal trauma for him.

Alt Form: A modified Ford E-350 ambulance (although Ratchet rarely transforms, preferring to remain in robot form). Weapons: Wide, straight blades extending from his "sleeves."

He is adept at pinpointing his opponent's pressure points and can deliver deadly blows (perhaps this is the reason Ratchet avoids combat).
