Ratchet & Clank Lore - The Lombaxes!

[@generalratchet651]

Until today i'm still questioning "Why Insomniac don't decide make a movie based in Crack In Time?"

[@VtnVivi]

Crack in Time honestly has movie material. But, no one will understand the characters; the story will just focus on the events.

[@Sonic1098s]

As it was said Ratchet doesn't really want to go back to see the Lombaxs as he says ' ''There was a time I would have said yes but theres more for me here than over there.'' But there is still a chance that there is a piece of technology that could come useful for Ratchet and Clank's next Adventures.

[@VtnVivi]

True. Maybe he could end up there on accident? Or yeah, maybe they would need something from that dimension! Maybe the Lombaxes might be in danger, that might convince Ratchet to head over there, how would he know they're in trouble? It's up to the devs :P

[@RSA-zv9hd]

I hope Ratchet finds a way to meet his kind someday, and somehow

It`d be really interesting, maybe we'd get the chance to find out his birth name.

[@CzechSpiritHD]

Sorry for answering so late, Ratchet's birth name was supposed to be in ACiT, but Insomniac decided that revealing the truth would change the way people look at Ratchet. Because of that, Insomniac decided not to tell his birth name after all. The Insomniac employees most likely know it though.

[@SunDown617]

Here from 2020: looks like that might potentially happen

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

I kinda wish they'd drop the re-imagining and just get back to the future series. So many things are unsolved.

[@VtnVivi]

AGREED!

[@perstongravey4556]

Dandy Crow nah nexus was good, just too short

[@yugioldchannel]

Yeah, I really want more of the future series, but with the last game being made in 2016, I’d take any game at this point

@Dandy Crow how? The reboot ruined the characters

@Cousin Chris Comments that don't age well

"Why raise a cragmite." If I had to guess it would be more of a guilt thing more than anything. I mean the Lombaxes essentially caused the Cragmites to go extinct, and therefor probably saw this as a way to right their wrongs.

Rachet And Clank was one of my child hood games back in the day, but damn i didnt know how deep the Lombaxes history was. awesome vid dude

[@VtnVivi]

It's a pretty deep story I agree!

[@VanishEclipse4867]

I feel like because the Lombaxes were a technologically skilled race, they were always building things and they would always carry a wrench with them. So eventually they just got use to having a wrench as their handy all purpose tool for any circumstances. As such they created giant wrenches that can be used as a handy tool and a weapon. The Omni-Wrenches were created and Kaden left one he made for Ratchet before he left I bet. Ratchet actually was laughing at how the Dimensionator was a hat and how his kind made weird things until Clank said he's the same. I mean remember that Gravimetric Warp Drive he made out of Blargian Scrap Medal? Nav unit he has as a belt and that jet cycle in the beginning of Tools of Destruction that sadly broke down too soon. Then of course we learned from Clank Ratchet invented some weirder things like Stunderwear a Nuclear bathroom buddy and of course Rocket Sled. Yeah whether you grew up with your own kind or not. It seems all Lombaxes have some level of knack for mechanical tinkering.

[@shadowking2973]

What if Clank fixed the dimensionater and Ratchet used it to see the lombaxes. remember at the end of into the Nexus Clank grabbed the dimensionater.

[@VtnVivi]

I do remember! and I hope IG continues with that.

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

I have a theory that the new game has something to do with the dimensionator, given the theme of the game is that dimensions are collapsing.

[@EvanMitsakis]

I think a prequel game would be cool

[@VtnVivi]

I know right! It would be a lot darker I imagine, probably the darkest.

[@shadowking2973]

the game would probably be based on Kaden and what happened before the cragmites were brought back by Tachyon and Tachyon would probably be a final boss

[@thomasfuentes3341]

You may never know insominac will probally make a spinoff in the future

[@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ]

Maybe they could make a sequel to the Future series where the story left off, and half of the game would be consisted of flashbacks to the past where you play as Kaden. But those flashbacks wouldn't be just some minigame in the middle of cutscenes, but a full fledged main gameplay with character progression and weapons to buy and stuff. It would be like in Crank in Time where the two playable characters play separately for most of the game. (Or Halo 2 for comparison with a game from different franchise.) Here the two characters would not just play separately, but they would be in their own respective timelines. That way, we could learn what happened to Ratchet and his search for Lombaxes after Nexus, while at the same time we could see the past events that brought all of this about. After all, the fate of the Lombaxes in our current time was decided by what happened in the past with Kaden, so it would make perfect sense to see both parts in one game. And it would be a great opportunity to see that story develop for Kaden too, as I doubt they would make a separate game just for Kaden (wouldn't really be much marketable if "Ratchet and Clank" wasn't in the title, and if it was and Ratchet wasn't playable, it would feel like cheating). And who knows, if Kaden doesn't die in the past flashbacks, there could be a time skip for Kaden at the end of his solo playthrough, and then he would finally meet Ratchet in the present time. Maybe there could be some gameplay even after that point where you choose your character. Maybe up to that point Ratchet and Kaden would have their own weapons and equipment, and after they meet, they could freely exchange them during the rest of the game. And it would be an easy excuse to recycle levels and assets, making you play through them in the past and then in the present. There could be some gameplay elements attached to it too. Like combining the weapons and gadgets, or Kaden setting some changes to the levels in the past, and then Ratchet being able to encounter those changes in the future either in his solo gameplay, or after they met.

Just got recommended after watching that new ratchet and clank game

[@papaballoon1856]

Dr.M was connor's friend but then turned bad then died Alister was Ratchets dads friend then turned bad then died. Ratchet defeated alister, sly defeated Dr.M. sly: a hero who saves the world from time to time, Rachet:a hero who saves the galaxy from time to time. Sly has Bentley the brains and Murray the brawn, Ratchet has Clank the smart one and i guess you could say Qwark is the brawn plus he is stupid like Murray. Both series are more similar than you think.

[@tygerchase9705]

you know what i would like a ratchet and clank orgin story with you playing as kaden

I will talk about that eventually, always had that in mind ;)

[@goldenphantom2259]

They should try making a spinoff of Ratchet’s origin being Kaden raising him

[@Ang3LofSp4rK]

i'd take a DLC for Rift Apart where you run around as Kaden or Alister; sounds fun But what would they do? Playable war with Tachyon?

I love that Kaden stayed to protect his wife and child.

Ratchet kind of reminds me of Superman... They were both sent to another planet to be safe and neither of them knew their actual names (until Superman found out). Great video by the way! :P

+VTNVIVI it's like how Sly Cooper reminds me of Batman, their parents were lost to crime. Sly's family were considered criminals but not the point, they both (Sly and batman) stop true crime whilst breaking the law themselves. I feel that one day there'll be a justice league type of story between Ratchet, Jak and Sly :)

[@devoncooper1329]

The question is who would Jak be? XD

Probably Hulk?? It doesn't have to be only DC or only Marvel, why not mix both :)

I think that Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time was the best Ratchet and Clank game in the series so far, yet a Rift Apart that's coming is the only non innuendo title other than Ratchet and Clank HD reimaging.

[@thenasterchief1]

About the tail thing those new reporters thought that all female lombaxes didn't have tails because Angela doesn't have one, yet Rivet who's also female does.

[@SpaceCatNikko]

OMG Great video! I actually learned something today! XD You have a very good point about Kaden's reasonings. I also agree about the Crack in Time's story telling. It's simply mind-blowing and I believe if they kept this story, it could have made a great and interesting movie. Not only for younger audiences. I'm also impressed about your editing skills. I feel like they're getting better. I can tell you really put a lot of effort into this video. Keep it up!

I love how Lombaxes couldn't defeat Tachyon yet Ratchet did on his own. Alister azimuth I hated in honesty. Ratchet asked about his family and heritage and stuff and Azimuth didn't want to tell him anything. He was asking Ratchet for help yet he wasn't willing to give him anything back.

So, are there more than one Dimensionator hidden in Polaris or even beyond? Though Alister says "There are no more Dimensionators" while Ratchet was fighting him in the Orvus Chamber but yet, is it possible that Ratchet will find a funtional one in future games and attempt to find his race?

[@Antonio-jq3fd]

VIVI if you could have the oportunity to continue with the story plot would you do it? I mean i've seen all of your videos of ratchet and clank and for me everything you said makes sense and i since i play ratchet and clank i always was wandering about the lombaxes and other thing in ratchet and clank uo your arsenal sasha wasnt a lombax to because she seems a lot like a lombax even she had a tail pls make a video about that and what happened to her and her father

[@VtnVivi]

As a fan, I'd definitely prefer the team to continue the classic games or at least finish the classic universe. Sure, Into the Nexus didn't have a cliffhanger, but there's a lot of stuff they can still work with. From Insomniac's perspective, they have two choices: make a sequel to the PS4 game thus making it less confusing for newcomers, or continue from ITN and make old fans happy. To answer your question, if I had the opportunity, I'd continue the classic universe and contact Sony for a PS4 Future Saga Collection (make it easier for newcomers). Afterall, the PS4 game is simply based off the movie. Sasha is a Cazar, not a Lombax. As for talking about Sasha, I had planned it a while ago, just got to work on it :) When will it be up, I don't know :P

[@qwertyios]

it's questionable if Kaden was the guardian of the dimensionator a in game it stated that there were more than one

[@VtnVivi]

True, it was stated by Azimuth that there are nor more dimensionators left. Maybe Kaden was the keeper of the very first one, the original. Tachyon mentioned the keeper and his son in the court of Azimuth, that could further prove that Kaden was actually the keeper, well at least the original.

[@LegitMHx]

Hmm, at the end of Into The Nexus we did the see the Dimensionator break, maybe ratchet tries to fix it in the future, and says like "how did the lombaxes..." and as he says lombaxes the dimensionator opens a portal to the lombaxes and ratchet is sucked in with the dimensionator still on the other side. Since the dimensionator was part broken, clank who was still on the other side cant fix it. Ratchet probably goes through a transition where he sees everything in the lombax city and finds new friends who he likes and starts getting along, he might basically start sort of a new life. Then somehow clank and talwyn and maybe some other people eventually somehow get to that dimension. And ratchet is torn on whether to go back, or stay with the lombaxes. Maybe then ratchet decides to stay in the lombax dimension, some new evil pops up in the original dimension and threatens the existence of all. Ratchet realises his mistakes apologieses to clank and saves the all the universes and dimensions. That would be one epic game... :D

[@goldenphantom2259]

I hope Kaden is alive and he gets to reunite with his son, who agrees with me? No one? Dang it!

[@VtnVivi]

Hey I like the theory of him being alive :)

[@goldenphantom2259]

VTNVIVI I didn’t say anything. I just said that I hoped he would be alive, but I do have an idea. Tachyon so called “destroyed” Kaden when he shot down his ship and Tachyon thought he was dead. But it turns out Kaden survived and now he’s been living under the radar to avoid Tachyon until he found out a certain Lombax killed him, and now he’s looking for Ratchet to find out if that’s his long lost son, and throughout the rest of the game, Ratchet battles his enemies with his dad at his side. The biggest thing that matters to me is to keep Kaden alive for good because I want Ratchet to have a happy ending and I already got mad when they killed Alister and I will have a rage fit if they kill off Kaden. I like your videos on these because it makes me hope more that Kaiden’s alive in the series and I hope he actually appears I the games. Also, thanks for replying to me, I would’ve never expected to be replied by a KZbinr.

[@thespyrofans6924]

Hey Vtnvivi i was searching through this site called Ratchet Galaxy and in this one section people were asking T.J. Fixman questions and somebody said "Do you know what happened to Ratchet's mother?" and T.J. Fixman answered back with this [T.J: Yes, I know what happened to her. And Kaden! But I never got a chance to tell those stories. So I have to keep it a secret in case Insomniac (or whoever) decides to tackle that plot.] what if Ratchet's parents survived somehow! He did say he never got a chance to tell the story of Ratchet's parents and he also keeping it a secret. So i was wondering if you could do a video about this and i would like to hear your thoughts on this and what you think happened to Ratchet's parents. could you do that please? Thanks :)

[@VtnVivi]

Yes, I know that website :). I've made an old video (when I started channel) going over those questions, BUT I've been thinking of updating it. Some interesting questions I agree. So yes, I will eventually get into it :)

[@anouaraynan8504]

Anyone remember the game where ur on island and have to activate these propelor towers to find clank?

[@spicyaura2440]

Either way sure maybe they'll find the real Lombax secret but they CANNOT change ratchets name if they do then they have to change the title for the future games like for example, Harry and clank? What?? That would confuse many people.

[@thespyrofans6924]

yes i agree it's just Tj Fixman thought of calling Ratchet by his real name but decided it not too

[@Jessica151294]

I don't think knowing Ratchet's Lombax name would mean the title has to change. By this logic the series should have been called "Ratchet & XJ-0461" from ACiT onward. The Jak and Daxter series weren't named "Mar & Daxter" after Jak 3. I still wish we could know, I know it probably won't make a difference and maybe it doesn't even matter to Ratchet anymore but still I'd pay 10,000,000 bolts to know! Maybe one day...

[@VtnVivi]

They might reveal his real name one day. If he meets the Lombaxes one day, one might call him by his real name, but it doesn't mean they'd have to change his actual one.

[@VtnVivi]

I'd like to know the name his parents had given him, curious :P

[@spicyaura2440]

Ok ok you guys convinced me that they can find his real name and all you guys have a very good point, it's just that I doubt where getting another future game for a while because of the re-imagining for ps4 and the way it ended the future series would probably be delayed.

[@tabreezsiddique]

Some people believe Azimuth to be Ratchet's true father. I can see why, because before meeting him Ratchet was lead on the idea that his father was the only one to stay behind when the Lombaxes evacuated to another dimension to ensure the Dimensionator didn't fall into the wrong hands. Azimuth for supplying Tachyon with Lombax technology against the their wishes was exiled from joining them in another dimension. Kaden also refused to join them to be by his wife's side was too late to save her, Azimuth claimed he had no clue of how long Kaden survived before Tachyon caught up with him, except he was to blame. Think about it, if Azimuth and Kaden were the only two Lombaxes along with Kaden's wife, wouldn't Azimuth at the very least offer some support to Kaden to find his wife and stop Tachyon? Azimuth most likely was too late to help but you would think the head of the Lombax Praetorian Guards would have what it would take.

[@VtnVivi]

I also wondered why Azimuth wasn't there to help. Surely he knew what was going on. Ok he was exiled, but they were childhood friends, he should've been there. Like you said, maybe it was too late.

I have some suspicion that he may have lied about what he said to Ratchet -_-

[@thespyrofans6924]

Guys i know what Ratchet's real name is Tj Fixman said on Twitter on July 17 2015 he said that Ratchet's real name is Gregory

[@spicyaura2440]

Ok then smart guys their not gonna just change THE WHOLE FLIPPIN NAME OF THE SERIES AND NAME IT GREGORY AND CLANK

[@thespyrofans6924]

Freeze blade Ice cat It's what Tj Fixman said his real name was going to be ok calm down

[@WildonVantrix]

Since this vid is about 4 years ago, where is the link to the updated one?… Haven’t played the games,… yet… but the vids I saw of the newest ones have so much more info & perhaps … answers?

[@VtnVivi]

Rift Apart has some new tidbits of lore yes :) I'll dive into it eventually.

[@aleksiha]

I love Ratchet

[@thespyrofans6924]

OMG Vtnvivi did you know that there atully was deleted scenes from the Ratchet and clank movie but they didint put it on the blu ray at all!!!!!! Kevin Munroe posted one on his instagram. also it is on Ratchet galaxy

[@VtnVivi]

Yes, sad to know that they weren't included. I saw the screenshot on his instagram.

[@thespyrofans6924]

VTNVIVI i know it's so Interesting as to why they diddent put it on the desk maybe because the movie diddent do well in theatures?

[@BrennySpain]

Vivi I seriously can’t wait for the day all ratchet and games released for the ps3 come out for ps4 either remastered or as ports. I can’t believe it hasn’t already happened yet! It needs to before the launch of ps5 and the end of ps4 life span too. Do you agree as well?

[@VtnVivi]

AGREED!

[@SuperMonaLisaBros]

My head-canon name for Ratchet is "Chien" which means warrior in Vietnamese.

[@kyodemer2590]

it also means "dog" in French though xD

[@JCHUNTER248]

A few months ago Ive once ask Insomniac if they ever gonna bring Rachet Gladiator (Deadlock) to the ps4 and they said its up to Sony....Im still waiting Sony >:(

[@VtnVivi]

Exactly, HD ports/remasters is up to Sony.

[@Shiresgammai]

I always hated that they changed the original backstory of the Lombaxes. They were these simple but hardworking critters from the planet Veldin (you can in fact see buildings inspired by Lombax wars in the first and third games). What made them awesome was that they were the average joes of the universe. Then they introduced this nonsense of Ratchet's "Superman" origin in "Tools of Destruction", the Lombaxes were now a mysterious super advanced species full of geniuses who loved wrenches. Seriously, how dumb is that? Ratchet wasn't alone, otherwise he would have reacted quite differently when he met Angela in "Going Commando".

[@VtnVivi]

Ahh yes...Angela. The whole can of worms.

[@Shiresgammai]

@@VtnVivi Thank you for the reply, you have a great channel, btw! I'm wondering myself why they never brought Angela back and why have they never released a good Ratchet plushie in the 20 years? I would love one for my nieces and nephews.

[@afrobanana4772]

I hate that in crack in time ratchet didnt go back in time to the other lombaxes ;-;-;-;

[@owl9130]

The real question is: Why is asmuph (I dont know how to spell his name) the only white lobax?

[@VtnVivi]

His unique genetics I guess.

[@dylanijbema133]

Maybe Angela cross met mex apoge and he used iT to open a gate way to the lombax demension so Angela could be with her kind but i also think that the story line from tools of destruction and after are diffrent from the story line from the first couple games so Angela would never know about Rachet. Any thoughts? Ps: please dont mind my spelling english is not my first lanquage

[@VtnVivi]

Maybe the dimensionator was found with the help of Angela. Her being a lombax, she was able to open that door in Tools.

[@meten-saiyanthelombax2970]

I mots now. I hope it wil ever happend! I hope they will reterun the old Ratchet and clank ! 😢

[@YubelLord1]

Namekians Saiyans and Tuffles make Lombaxs

[@memory_LF]

If you reply, you can make one lombax's adventures continue on ps4

[@VtnVivi]

Hi Gerrinx!

[@memory_LF]

AY, INSOMNIAC, CONTINUE YOU'RE LITTLE CLIFFHANGER OF AN ENDING!

[@memory_LF]

VTNVIVI​ looks like they aren't answering, would you like me to call or email them?

[@dian41k]

I want to ask you a question that bothered me so much... Why does Allister Azimuth has yellow eyes????

[@VtnVivi]

Xehanor... Wrong game. Rare genes :)

[@totallynotanakatsukimember9475]

Crack in time was my favorite ps3 game

[@thedjrobot]

I also like to hear more about them

[@VtnVivi]

The Lombax dimension especially!

[@thedjrobot]

yeah that to

[@Trapblast-ef2tu]

The first time I got hooked onto ratchet and clank was from the movie

[@VtnVivi]

Definitely try the original series!!!

[@Trapblast-ef2tu]

@@VtnVivi I might. But I'm going to have the games. Because I don't really own any of the ratchet and clank games

[@Ballistic_Circuit]

I know I'm late to this video, but if female lombaxes don't have tails, how come Rivette has a tail in the Ratchet and clank Rift appart

[@TimeLords910]

Iris creator is kaden why do you think it recognized ratchet

[@onepieceking1770]

So it seems that story of the lombaxes building a society in another world is true considering in rift apart (despite we only saw the trailer) we can infer that the female lombax we meet in this game either knows about that dimension or comes from it

[@VtnVivi]

Rivet, according to the preview, has been solo all her life and IS curious about other Lombaxes.

[@onepieceking1770]

@@VtnVivi ahhhhh so the story of both ratchet and rivet is actually gonna come together basically figuring out wat happened together

[@rock-n-party9241]

So no female Lombax has a tail and here we are with Rift Apart.

[@shadowdragon236]

You have a good point.. What is Ratchet's real name?

[@VtnVivi]

A mystery that shall never be solved.

+VTNVIVI there all sound really good. I want to learn more about ratchet people in the next game. Seen! cartoon like this, can have a great story and funny parts too. Good video man.

Tell me about it!

+VTNVIVI tnx for replying

[@kingofnonation5843]

Lombaxs seem like a former slave race, like mechanics who rebelled using the only thing they had wrenches

[@oddysay]

HEY VTNVIVI I just made a video about ratchet but in yoshitaka style i WOULD personally love your feedback on it since you are the master himself and inspired me to starting my channel.
