Lockdown: Tears Ratchet spark out
Ratchet: I NEEDED THAT!
You, sir or madam, are _evil!_ 🤣
LMAO
NICE! XD
😂😂😂
Ratchet: ded
Lockdown: A fine addition to my collection
There are no bad versions of Ratchet imo, the guy has an EXCELLENT track record few legacy characters can boast
Glad to hear you think that way.
Ratchet I’m a big fan..... :]
Even G1 had more of a fleshed out... Er... built up? character than most of the cast. On the level of Ironhide, Prime, and Starscream.
Shattered glass ratchet is a bad version of ratchet
TSM_ SavageNinja I think he meant that Ratchet as always been a very good written character not if he’s good or evil
My favorite Ratchet is the Aligned version, mostly because he has spread a pandemic known as:
"I NEEDED THAT!"
He is so great in that show. I love Grumpy Ratchet.
Technically the idea of "grumpy ratchet" started in animated
@@jimmyjeff1777 Still, I love it when he says, "I needed that!"
Transformers needed Ratchet. It always needed him.
Is it just me, or does he give off the “Grumpy Grandpa that grows a heart” vibe that Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor has?
Bumblebee: solo movie
Ratchet: I NEEDED THAT
Lokey though that sounds like a great movie idea
ya it dose
*yes agreed*
Ratchet, and the horrors he's seen on the field as a medic.
Hasbro I needed that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:>
I know he's been gone for almost 25 years, but RIP voice acting legend Don Messick.
Voice of G1 Ratchet, Gears, and Constructicon Scavenger.
Also Papa Smurf and the original voice for Scooby-doo.
Holy f*ck
"It's not that I don't want to remember. I have to remember.....for those that can't" Said by a G1 voice actor, who is sounding like one of his fallen comrades.
RATCHET HE IS ONE OF OPTIMUS PRIME,S WISE FRIENDS AND AN OLD PAL OF CYBERTRON BUMBLEBEE
ROBERT FOXWORTH HE IS THE BEST TRANSFORMERS ACTOR IN DARK OF THE MOON
Ratchet might legitimately be the only character spanning nearly all continuities who everyone universally loves. It's amazing lmao I've never talked to a single person who's ever disliked him. So what I'm saying is, where's our MedBay spinoff series??? (I mean it's a joke but I'd watch it lol)
What about Wheeljack?
Yeah, just a joke, haha... unless?😳
What about Bumblebee?
a spin off with all the medics including first aid, knock out, red alert and also not so known characters like velocity, ambulon, flatline even scalppel could appear
I´m sure Im forgetting people but I really love the medics
@@windvoice9286 I prefer red alert g1 character
I wish Ratchet’s connection to Omega Supreme featured in Animated would be further used in future stories. Ratchet was like the only one who would treat the arguably abused Omega as a friend rather than a tool and weapon. I found it very wholesome
*We needed that!*
Unsubtle hint that Prime Ratchet is the best Ratchet.
RATCHET HE ALWAYS SAYS HIS BEST WORDS EVER HEY MOONRACER I NEEDED THAT
Animated and Prime Ratchet are tied with me.
I prefer Marvel and Animated Ratchet over any other versions, but Prime Ratchet is one of the best reasons to watch that show.
TFP Ratchet was definitely one of my favorite Autobots in that series
Jim van der Kolk I think that ALL THE CHARACTERS IN PRIME ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Again its funny how in the movie Drift debuted... Ratchet died...
Out with the old in with the new
They couldn't risk to have them on screen together...
And it's funny how Ratchet basically died before drift in the Lost Light comics....
Damn homophobia.
@@rainthedraconic402 I- HOW
Them: Who watches a McFeely video at 3 AM!?
Me: Oh boy, 3 AM!
RATCHET HE WILL ALWAYS WATCHING OVER US AND THEY'VE ALWAYS BE IN OUR SPARK.
RIP movie ratchet. You will be missed and I hope the reboot keeps some designs of bayverse ratchet in the future. Whenever I see a ratchet with some bayverse designs into it, it makes me miss the time when movie ratchet was alive... God good memories
Hiii phantom^^
I had hoped at some point they would revive him since Lockdown stole his still pulsing spark and added it to his grim collection.
PhantomZettonX18 his death traumatized me for years and still does
@A guy with an anime Profile Pic Because I can he only did that once and never brought it up again that wasn't even a necessary nitpick to point out
If it could have the correct colours the design ain’t that bad.
Ratchet? being a party animal? Well i didn't see THAT coming up in his original profile. But i needed to know more about my favorite 'bots.
Have you watch Cyberverse "Party Down"?
@@syabilaazri7834 I did, i'm still wondering how that trooper was alive without his God damn brain.
In the idw comics the nickname Party Ambulance comes up a few times.
I swear a lot of the original bios from the toyline hardly factor a lot of the time for characters in later media
OK I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE. First Sean Morse! Now here!
Who's going to be the first to make a "I NEEDED THAT" joke?
Bulkhead
(Inhales)
I NEEDED THAT
Ironhide: *breaks a component*
Ratchet: Hey, I needed that!
I dunno, but i *needed* these comments.
Prime I needed that.
Lockdown: **rips out Ratchets spark**
Ratchet: "Hey I needed that"!
When you realise knockout is basically a millennial ratchet...
"There is no bond greater than that of a father and son"
OH MY GOD YES
I guess I like both the Animated and Prime versions of Ratchet best.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 honestly most of the characters we're better in prime, all I ever hear with animated bulkhead is Patrick Star, Kevin Micheal Richardson I can actually take seriously!
Who doesn’t?
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69
He was a beast!
@Laltluangliana Sailop animated with its slick style and fast paced action using bot and vehicle mode to bash cons was more boring than g1 with its slow standing still shooting? What are you on because clearly its the good stuff
@PulseAnimations
They’re a bunch of Prime fanboys who can’t look at the show objectively. Animated was a far superior show.
When I saw "Age of Extinction" in theaters and Ratchet was killed by Lockdown, I cried like a baby. But, IMO, Animated Ratchet and Arcee make quite an adorable couple. Heck, if TFA had gotten a fourth season, I think there should have been a Christmas-themed episode where Sari and Bumblebee play matchmaker and try to get Ratchet and Arcee under the mistletoe.
I did too
@@malachiwilliams5696 Of all the characters they could have killed off, they had to kill the medic!
Bay has killed more Transformers. Than, a Cosmically Empowered Starscream.
@@Qardo They literally killed off Jazz in the first movie then Megatron as well then Megatron came back somehow and I'm pretty sure Ironhide got killed in the 3rd one? And then they killed Wheeljack as well and ofc the most famous one Ratchet and it can't be Transformers if Optimus didn't die at least once in the bayverse films and there's probably more but idc
It was worse when Sentinel Prime killed Ironhide in Dark of the Moon. Well, in my humble opinion anyway....
Finally a video about Ratchet.
I NEEDED THAT!!!!
I’m generally a “Geewunner”, but Jeffery Combs is my favorite Ratchet.
I grew up with Prime and the Bay films, i’ve always loved Combs as Ratchet
I guess we can say that you like the G- U- 1 article
I’ve seen far more people complain about G1ers than I have G1ers complain about everybody else
To me a GEEWUNNER is someone who thinks only G1 was good and everything else is trash, especially when it comes to toys. The kind who say that Masterpiece sucks because it's not what they had as a kid.
Oh shoot, I didn't realize that was Combs doing the voice.
I think Prime's Ratchet might be my favorite and I LOVED his VA from Prime too. But the level of Sass that the IDW Comics Ratchet throws around is beyond Godlike. "Hear that? It's the glorious sound of the past tense." But really, I love all things Ratchet. He is the single best Transformer in all of epic Transformer-dom! Long live the King of Sass!
Why won’t ratchet have blend design between movieverse ratchet and animated ratchet design
Animated,Prime and RID are the versions that I like.
RATCHET HE IS THE BEST AWESOME TRANSFORMERS NETFLIX TOY IN SIEGE WAR FOR CYBERTRON
I usually respect people's opinions but RID SUCKS!
Rid is the same one as prime
Teufortimus Prime what? Prime was good. RID was bad
@Star battle 2099 i usually dont shit on shows but saying "a little bit" Is a criminal understatement
*“ZAT* vas doctor-assisted homicide!”
"Medic!"

"And ze doctor vas never heard from again!"
@@awesomeproductions7755 "haha. Anyvay, zat vas how i lost my medical license."
It's like being a kid again and watching transformers on the weekends. Great full thank u.
Bro frrs ngl
This guy was first intended to be a SHE but became a HE because of Hasbro's reluctance. Could you imagine what could have happened if Ratchet became the first female Transformer instead of Arcee?
She probably would've been extra-snarky. April Winchell would've voiced her at some point.
I would've liked a female Ratchet. Would've been nice to have a female bot who DIDN'T have the typical curvy body shape.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 You talking about Strongarm?
We also have strika in animated
@@thelavenderroom4396 Well Strika was in Beast Machines first but you are right, she's another fembot that doesn't have the stereotypical curvy body. She's a beefcake.
Strafe the Dinobot from the first IDW comics continuity (No relation to the G1 Technobot or Dinobot from Age Of Extinction) is also rather burly
My favorite is definitely the one from Prime. The fact that he’s voiced by Jeffrey Combs elevates him to one of my favorite transformers of all time.
"BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!" -Prime Ratchet
That never gets old😆😆😆
@@there4you19 yeah
@@there4you19 and its *always* bulkhead
I actually really liked the live action vehicle mode that Ratchet had
I do too, for the most part. That neon, "emergency" green color scheme kinda ruins it for me.
It really shines in classic Gen 1 colors, though.
@@RLSRedWolf Have you checked out his look from the third movie (Dark of the Moon)? He's a different shade of green there that's a little easier on the eyes, and also has a lot of white added.
Ratchet was my first ever transformer toy, from my nanna 😊
Mine too, though a birthday present from my uncle.
Hehe, nice, from which series?
Anita Mihholap G1
G1, as the kids now call it, for me too! Way back in the mid-80s.
Same mate! You always remember your first ;-)
My favourite iteration of Ratchet is his Prime counterpart. I also never knew G1 Ratchet was a party animal. I would like to see a take on him where he is one
Budiansky eventually gave a reason for why Ratchet didn't display his "party animal" persona: he was too busy fixing stuff.
I like to think that he got up to a lot of partying in his youth, but in most universes his time in the war just makes it way too hard for him to indulge that side of himself by the time the stories we see start to happen
I wonder if Shattered Glass Ratchet is like Nurse Ratched in personality.
@Miles Edgington AND THAT'S HOW I LOST MY MEDICAL LICENCE
I guess if a patient’s equivalent of a heart explodes while they’re on his operating table… “HEY! I NEEDED THAT!”
Hoo-ah!
Oh hey Thew, how is it goin?
Oh sick thew
Prime Ratchet is one of my favorite characters in the Transformers franchise! Great pick for a basics's episode!
Feels weird to hear Ratchet's iconic: "Bulkhead, I needed that!!" without its also iconic retort to what Bulkhead replied: "Puh-lease!!"
99.9% of TFP rachet's lines: *"insert name" I NEEDED THAT!!!*
I love the prime version as I love seeing him warm up to the humans as it hits me when Rafael says that Ratchet was teaching him cybertonian in his spare time.
My daughter and I look forward to each of these. Thank you.
Arcee: (loses her memory)
Ratchet: I needed that!
Ratchet will always be one of my faves. He showed his best in the gen one cartoon, when he and Wheeljack built Autobot X, to house Spike's mind when he was undergoing surgery after a near fatal accident. That cemented my love for the Autobot medic.
I will say, my favourite Ratchet moment was in the IDW comics, and actually after he had died, so minor spoilers for the very last chapter. During his funeral Whirl (one of the wreckers who had been a clockmaker and then lost his hands) was attending on parole and was approached by Drift after the service. As it turns out, Ratchet had left his hands to Whirl in his will so that he could have proper hands again, something Whirl had wished for previously
“Bulkhead I needed that!”
That never gets old
Animated would most definitely be my favourite version of Ratchet, though IDW is a close second. Who'd be your favourite incarnation(s) of him, Chris?
I'm really, really torn between Animated and Prime. Animated's got a more developed backstory to shape his personality, but... Jeffrey Combs, man.
@@ChrisMcFeely I feel that Animated Ratchet is just Kup as a doctor. That's not a bad thing, I like both Kup and Animated Ratchet.
@@ChrisMcFeely which ratchet did Jeffery Combs voiced
@@twistederror He voiced him in Prime and RID 2015.
@Chris McFeely
I’ll take a better character over some specific voice actor any day.
Prime’s incarnation of Ratchet has always been by favorite, they truly wrote his character development significantly better than others. Ugh, just love him.
10:14 - WFC Siege Ratchet: Walgreens Exclusive. _[Buys him at a Canadian EB Games store weeks before most Americans 😈]_
Ha! Nice! That's why i've never seen him. Thanks for the tip.
Ratchet having a nephew is cute
Ratchet is a great character, my favorite version of him is TFPrime.
"I NEEDED THAT!"
Prime is definitely my favorite. Though I have a soft spot for the movie version, as it was my introduction to the character.
Everyone on their way to the comments to say "I needed that!" or something along the lines.
A classic if there ever was one. The Megatron/ratchet combined zombie creature was one of the most haunting things I saw as a kid
I liked the Animated version. I want more of old, cranky Ratchet and his adopted robot son Omega Supreme.
TFP and Animated will ALWAYS be my favorite.
I actually have my own variant on Ratchet, which incorporates his attitude from Prime with his scientific knowledge and willingness to cooperate with the inventor/assistant medic Wheeljack from G1..
(Wheeljack in my version is a combination of his G1 inventor/medic job and his job as a Wrecker in Transformers: Prime. Basically, he's the Wreckers' engineer, repairing 'bots and breaking 'cons, while inventing new ways and new mechanisms to do both.)
Not to mention his classic Prime catchphrase:
"I NEEDED THAT!"
It would be interesting to see a female version of Ratchet. I imagine her as a caring, mother figure, especially to Bumblebee. And her big rants whenever one the autobots does something stupid, and they call her and old lady.
"Hehe, Ratchet, say the thing!"
".........."
"*sigh*, I needed that..."
Why do I feel the need to hit the like button the second I hear Chris' voice?
Racthet's run ins with Megatron in the G1 comic were some of the more emotional Transformers stories.
Jeffrey Combs was such a perfect voice for Ratchet, and my personal favorite.
Made me a fan of Jeffrey Combs for sure.
7:31 - 7:40
Most important part of the video.
I NEEDED THAT
I like the “grumpy old man” Ratchet of TFA and TFP. “Bulkhead!?! I needed that!” 😄 And I loved how the TFA figure looked like it gave him an “old man beer gut.”
God, this made me tear up. Thank you, thank you so much for this. Ratchet is one of my favorite Transformers EVER! He's THE supporting character and a pillar to whatever group he's part of. I watched G1 as a bitty, and Ratchet was one I always remembered aside from Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. No matter which series he's in, he has seen some shit. Despite the disappointment the new Netflix series was for me, I loved how they handled Ratchet. As a Geewunner, I honestly like Alligned!Ratchet and IDW!Ratchet best.
chris you forgot about shattered gl- oh, wait
He often doesn't mention Shattered Glass characters.
@@Its_Charlie_Young Anymore.
As I read this he said shattered glass lmao
Oof
Shattered glass ratchet is one of my favourite SG characters. He's a pure psychopath, and I love it.
Probably one of my favorite moments of Ratchet from Prime was when he (almost drunkenly) referenced Bantor from BeastWars.
Ratchet: "Do I hear a Fuzor in need of voice box repair?..."
AgentFowler: "WHAT THE HECK IS A FUZOR!?!?!?!?"
Ratchet: "... Just ask Bantor, he was all mandrill before I put a tiger in his tank!"
That line gets me every time!
It's fun for me because I actually have Bantor's toy from the BeastWars toy-line; I always wanted to know more about him, since he never appeared in the cartoon. How about it Chris McFeely? A basics video on Bantor, perhaps? There were a lot of BeastWars characters that never appeared in the BeastWars cartoon, maybe you could do a video or 2 about them. Of course, it's just a suggestion.
I’d love someday see a party loving female Ratchet someday
Mixed with the old and grumpy characterization and you basically get robot Eda The Owl Lady which sounds amazing
Lockdown: (Tears Ratchet's spark out) a fine addition to my collection
The part where both rachet and Megatron fussed together that scared the crap out of me
Fun fact ratchet's voice actor from prime also voices scarecrow in Lego DC supervillains ( a Lego video game)
I still can't get over how Hasbro really thought killing off everyone's favorite characters was a good idea in G1
My favourite version is the Marvel one especially his rivalry with Megatron.
I do appreciate Rachets conviction as he removed a stolen part from Lockdown. In Animated & felt his fear when dealing with Soundawave in Prime. Theres quite the history to this medic!
3:13 that means he wasn’t off-lined by a Cosmically Powered Starscream at all!
As much as I love grumpy old Ratchet, I'd like to see his party animal personality explored. I imagine he'd be something like Hawkeye from MASH.
I have to say, I think Prime Ratchet is my favorite.
Same and animated
@@wolfgang6442 For me, animated Ratchet's design looks a bit weird, it's mainly his strange blue butt-chin and hobo like posture lol
@@MissLatteC omg😂😭
My all time favorite character of the entire Transformers franchise. And my favorite version must be the Prime one, because of the design and Jeffery Combs. Thanks for making this video on the backstory of my boi :)
7:32
Bulkhead i needed that!
My all-time favorite Ratchet is the Marvel Comics version. For all intents and purposes, HE was Megatron's rival instead of Optimus. Also, his friendship with Prime was given perhaps its deepest portrayal, with each taking an issue to mourn the other's death--and with Optimus's conflict over what to do about the Ratchet/Megatron fusion forming one of the key storylines of "The Price of Life" (one of my favorite comics ever). Even Ratchet's ultimate sacrifice in that series--crashing the Ark to stop Megatron and company--invokes Optimus, highlighting how interconnected the three of them were.
I needed this
;)
Animated ratchet is by far my favorite.
4:51 ah my first ever transformers toy....nostalgia
Still can’t believe they had Jeffery Combs in tf prime. I mean he’s frickin Herbert West!
“If you get that reference, congratulations your old. And sad enough to be here” - JobbytheHong (check out his RUclips channel)
My brother introduced me to Jobby. He's so funny to watch.
Fun fact: Armada Red Alert was called "Ratchet" in the original Japanese version "Micron Legend"
When Dreamwave's Ratchet is with Brawn, there is always an odd feeling that they will soon die.
7:46 Awww Papa Ratchy is so proud
We need him we love we need healing it’s ratchet
My main question about Ratchet is... Did he ever actually throw wrenches, or is that just a fan thing? That's probably my favorite thing about Ratchet in the fandom. 🤣
A good amount
Just watched the whole Ratched series on Netflix. I was thinking all the time about Ratchet instead of the nurse.
FUN FACT: When Transformers Armada anime and toyline release in Japan six months after the US, Red Alert was renamed as Ratchet for the Japanese market
Man, i needed this episode
And so was Ratchet
I always wondered why medic and mechanic are different roles in a race made up primarily of non-organic entities especially when there are times Ratchet doesn't know much in terms of organic biology.
All I know is that I want SOMEONE to make an official set of medical tools for Ratchet instead of a gun. That never sat well with me, I'm afraid.
@@mikorupondsumisu6883 especially since in recent incarnations of ratchet where he plays some sort of a role he is against fighting in the war like in wfc 😭
Wait the original bio is the reason we call Ratchet "the Party Ambulance" nowadays?!
Transformers animated once again most underrated tf series
My favourite ratchet has to be primes just for his character alone being stuck at base when he wants to be out there helping the bots and his guilt getting the better of him on times like in the Synthetic Energon episode and waiting to be cut up in a scrapyard when Raf and Bee find him and try to get him to come back to get a counterattack ready
. . . I think Ratchet might be my favorite character. Hard Headed, Stubborn, but always doing what's best for others, no matter the cost.
I think Ratchet deserves his own Live Action film!
My favorite Ratchet quote: "No time for long goodbyes; There's the door"
Matter of fact, in Japan, the Armada incarnation of Red Alert is named Ratchet in their markets.
I NEEDED THAT!! Prime rachet is by far my favourite incarnation of rachet
My favorite version of ratchet can be summed up in one line
"Bulkhead I needed that !!"
7:31
This man Rachit basically Raphael and Donatello fused together
Let’s be honest. We needed this
I’m a G1 fan at heart (even tho I’m only 14) but I gotta admit, prime’s ratchet will always be my favorite
2:28 Ratchet: the Doctor of Doom
I always liked Ratchet, and there were a few scenes in G1 that showed his grumpier side, specifically the end of the episode where the Arielbots meet Orion Pax.
To think Hasbro embracing a fan universe and making official toys of them makes them better than most companies.
