So, I recently found out the mediocre 2016 Ratchet and Clank movie had a post-credits scene & it featured the franchise's best character.

Looks like he ignored the memo not to act like his old PS2 self. Unironically, the best scene in the movie & it's at the crack end of the movie.

Fun fact: I love women.

Drew these cause I felt like it 🤷🏼‍♀️. All female lombaxes including my self insert Roslyn AND the former QUEEN of this blog: Kanti Azimuth-Draqoi. She’s only half lombax, and she’s a voltron OC, but she deserves to be there! Then I thought—might as well do all female robots too! So I did. This one included my OC Selina and my self-insert’s precious little catbot based on my irl kitty Emi!

I just love women.

Ayo fellow mutuals and everyone else who sees this, can you help me spread the word? From what I could find, I think nobody found out yet (maybe), but here's the dealio:

On the Ratchet and Clank 2016 game, apparently one can glitch walk on the rails of Kalebo 3 with the Hologuise!

I've already left a comment on a video that I searched a patched glitch, so now I'm leaving the info here!

I'll be checking our how far I can walk more on the hover board track below, since the glitch in question makes it so you can walk there.

Thanks in advance :D

Sora and Ratchet both declined into similar characters in KH3 and R&C 2016, respectively.

From protagonists with bite to uwu nice boys (Ratchet got it worse, but Sora isn't much better).

No idea how hard it would be to replicate, but I found a fun glitch in Ratchet and Clank (2016), apparently.

During the aerial combat section on Pokitaru, I happened to complete the objective at the exact same moment that I died. Instead of setting me back to a checkpoint to complete the section normally, it went ahead to the cutscene that plays after you win. So when I went to jump into the water and head into the sewer, instead of swimming, Ratchet just sank straight to the bottom I ended up fixing it by killing Ratchet, and that sent me back to finish the flying section the right way, but it's still funny this happened

So I finally decided to play that Ratchet & Clank game that came out in 2016 (to be more specific, that movie tie-in game) that I received for free back in 2021, through that campaign called #PlayAtHome that PlayStation offered some games for free during the pandemic.

The only thing I can say is that it's not a bad game, but I didn't like it very much at the same time.

Judging that after this game, Insomniac Games went directly to making the Spider-Man game, I can assume that they learned a lot from both games (Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank from 2016) and they applied everything they learned in the new Ratchet & Clank game.

[exposingtheidiocy]

Exactly! Watering them down doesn't make them seem more upstanding, a better person, whatever - it makes them a shell of their former selves at best. Sora after KH2 is not a real character, he feels really artificial, especially compared to his earlier selves, he did not start out how he did now. "Gag me" indeed!

KH2 Sora is and always will be amongst the two worst versions of the character.

He's an edgy angry yet smug jackass who thinks he's better than everyone, he insults and mocks everyone even his allies and if not he just ignores them.

It’s always good to have a friend to make you laugh when you’re feeling low.

What are your favorite outfits for Ratchet from the games?

Good question!

As far as the armors go, I usually never actually use them in the majority of the games I play (unless they're forced onto me, like Deadlocked's or 2016's). But I do have my favorites.

Holoflux

Shocking probably no one, Holoflux is the best. People often say it's their favorite, and that's for good reason— it looks incredibly good on Ratchet. I definitely don't enjoy drawing this armor that much, but I still will do it from time to time because I like it that much, and Ratchet gets pretty privilege.

It's also cool that this armor matches Azimuth pretty well, and I like that it has the "powered down" version in cutscenes. It makes the finale hit that much harder. This is the only armor where I know it's my favorite. The others are in no particular order.

Quest

Quest for Booty's armor was always rather charming to me, but it got even better once I recognized it had the Apogee insignia on the belt. I am a Talwyn and Ratchet stan at heart, so this pulled this armor above some others just because of that detail. But putting that aside, it also really fits the game it's in and makes Ratchet look like an explorer. He matches Talwyn quite nicely, too, which fits since she's his companion in this game.

Rebel

Oh my god this armor stole my HEART for so long. I am begging Insomniac to give us more casual fits in the next entry because this armor spoiled me so much. I love the graffiti Clank on the left hand, I love the little jacket, I love how the full gear doesn't cover his face... it's just adorable. Such a good fit that suits Ratchet so much and it's definitely my favorite new armor in Rift Apart.

Infernox

As far as armors that cover Ratchet's face go, Infernox was always one of my favorites as a kid. Something about its color palette and overall "flame" vibe just screamed early-Ratchet to me. I really like this one, and I definitely prefer it over the more popular Carbonox armor. Then again, I'm also a sucker for Up Your Arsenal. :P

2002

Not an armor but an absolute classic look. Of all the ones here, it's my favorite to draw since it lets me draw more of Ratchet's fur. It broke my heart to know that IG really wanted to put it in to Rift Apart, but was unable to find a way. I hope they try to do it for the next game, but I'll understand even if they can't. It's just one of the best looks for Ratchet. So iconic.

Marauder

Listen. This armor is really cool looking, and I like it, and I especially like that Deadlocked lets me take off the helmet too... but boy, this bitch is painful to draw. Simplifying it almost feels heinous to do, since it's just so cool looking but GAH!!!! If you ever wonder why I never update the Deadlocked Together AU, it's because of this!!! This painful armor!!!!!!

That aside, this armor fits the tone of the game so well. It's edgy, it's brooding, it's dark. I love it. The only thing I don't like is the fact they hide his tail :(

Tuxedo

Despite always playing Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal exclusively without armor when I play, you would never be able to tell because I love wearing the tuxedo Ratchet skins. Somethin about formal Ratchet makes me have heart eyes. Very kissable.

Robot Pirate

While I obviously prefer rebel, this was one of the only other armors in Rift Apart that I found myself using for Ratchet. The scarf really looks good on him, and I'm very fond of the chest plate. If it weren't for Quest armor's inclusion, I would always wear this armor when going to Ardolis.

Comics

Last but not least (because tumblr says I should stop adding images)... the comic outfits. Once again, the casual Ratchet outfits are always going to score higher for me. I loveeeee seeing my boy look more casual. And while the left image looks a lot like his normal outfit, I prefer it more for keeping it loose. That, and something about that blue chest piece never sat right with me. In a perfect world, I think it would have stayed green to keep his earthy tones in tact even after Tools of Destruction.

And the overalls are just. Mwah. Chef's kiss. What a dork. He's so cute. I love him.

Thanks for the ask!
