#ratch be like

[syberfire117]

back at it again in the plant with another, much goofier animatic for @justawannabearchaeologist s wheeljack in tfa au. specifically all the meme posts.  I felt like this was kind of just an inevitability

how i imagine pre-war OP x ratchet

[cybertron-smash-or-pass]

You know the thing I like about tfa ratchet is that he actually looks like an old man unlike IDW and tfp ratchet. Yet another reason why Animated is the best continuity

They said "we're going to give ratchet battle damage and a bunch of dents in his face that look like scruff and terrible posture and a big ol tummy and the most tired eyes youve ever seen on a robot and you're going to like it" and by the Allspark they were correct.

I really love the headcanon that, to tfa warbuilds, challenging an authority figure can also be seen as flirting.

I especially love to imagine Optimus' crew having to temporarily team up with Megatron to take down a threat, and as the leaders continue to butt heads over tactics/protocol, all the 'Bots are like "omg so scary poor Optimus 😣" while the 'Cons are like "omg get a room already 🙄"

i think women should get to be a little bit morally corrupt or perhaps even wicked sometimes. as a treat

Sharing a wip of a thing I will finish. Can be rough being the captain sometimes

I think my favorite part about the Luna-1 hotdog-style Ambulon incident is the "fuck around and find out moment" of Ratchet taunting Pharma with his insecurities only to be surprised/fearful when Pharma brought in Ambulon and First Aid to be bisected.

Like, aside from the fact that I love Pharma and think he deserves some murder as a treat

It's actually kind of a really good character moment for Ratchet where he super fucked up, like it's extremely rare in the whole of IDW for Ratchet to have made a mistake that bad and it's a fun addition to his character imo. He clearly thought he was in control of the situation and felt some kind of arrogant/clever about thinking he'd successfully manipulated, only for it to turn out "oops you just ended up escalating the situation and putting your friends in danger instead." Arrogance/recklessness aren't something you typically associate with Ratchet so I think the situation is really cool if only bc we got to see an aspect of Ratchet's personality that doesn't really come out otherwise.

Also it means that Ratchet 🤝 Rung -> Making a really stupid decision to provoke/taunt someone emotionally unstable in the middle of a hostage situation and just making it worse

[nonocere]

it is actually infuriating how much of ratchet's kindness was leeched from him by jro i will never forgive him

[compressednerve]

this is Northmoor to me.

[labratboygirl]

whateverrrrrr …….furified designs for the funny robot book guys

[kuzunoha-xiv]

a side of my brain is like just because theres a duo of characters where one is older and experienced and the other is much younger and a bit juvenile at times doesnt mean the older one is a parent figure

and the other side is like.......mommy ratchet.......

[cybertron-smash-or-pass]

His thing's got all kinds of mods. You think it can detach and be used as a vibrator with different settings

He got pissy about prowl getting a bunch of mods bc he's been there. Just not combat mods

Question relevant to others comfort:

It is uncommon for me to discuss ic or make ooc comments relevant to dark or suggestive content, so I've reached a point that I don't feel like it's necessary to worry about a second blog that I barely use. BUT some people consider this blog/ratch to be a comfortable space as is, so I'd rather ask first, regardless.

[careful-fear]

in the lives of puppets perfectly encapsulates the 'incompetent teenagers go on an adventure' energy despite the characters actually being none of those things, except maybe rambo.
