[@effluviah7544]

Interestingly enough, the reason some versions of Ratchet don't have medical red crosses etc. is because in some places, medical symbols have serious restrictions on the ways in which they can be applied and used, even in media. This is why sometimes Ratchet's colours are inverted, so it's not a red cross on a white background (symbol of first aid/hospitals) but a white cross on a red background-- Which unfortunately then resembled at least one nation's flag, so a lot of the time they just omitted Ratchet's crosses (and other medical markings like the paramedic star) entirely, relying on the red and white colour scheme alone to get the point across.

[@Enixgeek]

That's why you paint him green and pray that nobody compares him to the Bayformers.....

I'm freaking out right now cuz once you started saying "the orange is new" for TFP Ratchet, I just stared wide-eyed, like...I never thought it was orange, that looks red to me. Maybe it's how the lighting in the show is, it blows out the red sometimes and makes it seem orange? Cuz I don't know if it's something different about my eyes to yours or what, but I almost had a crisis when you said ornage, lol.

[@dirkthewrench]

Ratchet from prime is hands down the best design and version of the character, imo

[@Latte44]

I agree

[@magnusprime962]

Design arguably, but character-wise? Animated all the way. That was the one that defined him as the weary veteran, and his episode with Lockdown and relationship with Omega Supreme were some of the best parts of any Transformers story.

[@Achieme]

The Ratchet/megatron fusion is understandable, but at the same time I like the body horror, Bayverse ratchet is cool, I wished he actually would do some field medic and repair some other autobots (The first movie when he lasered bumblebee doesn't count, that was basically a check up, plus it was a one time thing)

[@theimperviousfirecracker7934]

In the Bay Movies, I'd prefer Green, simply because I thought Yellow kind made him blend with Bumblebee a little too much. The green look sort of sets him apart from that, and makes the whole autobot lineup look more diverse,

[@zara-hope5518]

I like IDW mtmte/lost light and Prime ratchet's designs. He looks charming in IDW and wrise and has a grandpa vive in prime.

[@2bdaqueen268]

I can't remember if you ever did a video dedicated only to Transformers Universe concept arts (and if not it'd be nice to see you talk about it) but I have to say I've seen them dozens of times already, and I'm still awed by how amazing the characters look (some may be a little too cartoony, but they would exist well in the Transformers Prime universe). Such a shame the game never truly got off the ground...

[@SageofStars]

Props for giving the Animated..you know what I mean if you watched the video...anyway, that design deserves the props. It was a good, nuanced look for a character, and really spoke volumes even before he opened his speech hole. Almost the whole show was good at visual storytelling for its character designs.

Much like with Ironhide, that toy started out as a transformable mech walker for a microman. However, the "conversion" to a Transformer toy was such a rush job.

Ranking every combiner designs Top tier: wombo combo Mid tier: good connection Low tier: pile of vehicles with a name Lowest tier: must stay separated

[@ThePuff18]

For those of you who were wondering, gen 1 Ironhide and Ratchet, like many of the transformers at the time, were carried over from the Japanese series “Diaclone”. In Diaclone, the robots aren’t living beings, but rather actually just that. Robots. Specifically, they are Mech-like robots. And Ironhide and Ratchet showed that more than most, with seats for pilots instead of heads. Now, in Hasbro’s defense, they _did_ try to remedy this by adding a robotic-looking face on the windshields of the bots. Also, I personally *LOVE* Universe Ratchet. I quite like the Bo staff-looking arm. Also, the fact that they made the windshield fully translucent is really funny. It’s made that way so you can see the face when in alt mode. Looks like he’s driving himself :)

[@Karlos1234ify]

@@Latte44The blue on the chin is meant to evoke a five o’clock shadow. It demonstrates that Rachet is more grizzled and world-weary than the others. Animated had a lot of touches like that to help convey the characters personalities visually. Prowl’s slender limbs helping him to blend in, Bulkhead’s roundness demonstrating the softer guy underneath the physical strength, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the DOTM and AOE Light Neon Green and White Version from 2011 and 2014. It's just. The dotm version, its a tiny tiny bit too loud of a color scheme, even though I think it is very cool.

[@davidragan9233]

I keep thinking about the cartoon, Rachet need Minicons (I regard Soundwave's and Blaster's humanoid tapes as Minicons as well) maybe have them transforms from humanoid helpers to mobile medical equipment? The main reason is he is most likely going to have to interact with human-sized people, and loading wounded ones into his body.

[@DragonStar524]

Ratchet always remains consistent. Yet i love the shows that still keep his core personality intact, while giving him something unique, like his more cantankerous old man personality in Animated Yet i love how even though he's the designated medic, he can fight, and hold his own if he absolutely has to.

Animated and Bayverse Ratchet actually take more influence from Armada Red Alert. But then again Animated and Bayverse Bumblebee also take more influence from Armada Hot Shot too.

[@banobobot]

Okay, so the original G1 toy was thrown into the trash without explaining the context, so I will explain: the reason why Ironhide and Ratchet look the way they do is because the Season 1 cast of toys was imported from Takara’s Diaclone and Microchange toylines, which had completely different lore from the Transformers. They were either remote controlled or piloted mechas. Ironhide and Ratchet obviously have seats where someone could pilot them.
