Ratchet and Optimus: *chatting*

Bumblebee: *jumps into Ratchet's backpack*

Ratchet: "Bumblebee, what did I say about playing hide-and-seek in my backpack?"

Bumblebee: "I'm not playing hide-and-seek, I'm hiding from my team so I can have peace of mind for once in my life."

Bumblebee: *moment of realization*

Bumblebee: "Wait, is this why you two would randomly disappear and no one could find either of you after hours of searching?"

Ratchet and Optimus: "Yes."

Bumblebee: "Oh."

Optimus: "I told you he would understand one day."

(Day 1)||(Day 5)||(Day 6: Family)||(Day 7)

A small snippet about Ratchet and Optimus at the end of Season 2 RiD. Set right before Ratchet heads out.

Both Optimus Prime and Ratchet split from the rest of Team Bee and moved to the edge of the junkyard to watch the sunset. They sit close to one another so they can touch each if they want, but their EM field intermingled. While their reunion was short lived, Ratchet delays his departure to tomorrow just give himself more time with his bond mate.

"It's strange to think", he rests shifts so more of his body is facing Optimus but continues to look forward. That I've gotten used to outpost Omega-1 being our family. Now that we've disbanded it's just the two of us." Ratchet pats the disk that is Undertone.

"I apologize that I may not go with you Old Friend."

Ratchet stops him by placing his and on Optimus' shoulder. "It's fine, besides once my parole is over I'll come back to assist both you and Bumblebee." He stands ups and moves so he stands on top of Optimus. "So at least wait until I get back before you do something stupid."

They stare at each other, both understanding the journey each will have to undergo separate. Optimus then rushes forward to hug Ratchet's mid section and drags him to the ground, both of them laughing. "I promise if you give me a parting gift."

"Optimus, not in front of Undertone."

Ratchet: Megatron's optics are blue, right? Orion Pax: They're red, with hints of yellow when the light hits just right. Ratchet: And when was the last time he smiled? Orion Pax: Last night at 2:03 AM. Ratchet: Right. And when is my creation day? Orion Pax: Ratchet: When is my creation day, Orion?

So I am infamous now for the time I pointed out Op and Meg's eyes both are tears of sadness and of rage.

But @seraphim-seeker commented on my Megatron one with this in the tags

So yeah, what about Ratchet?

Ratchet has been described, in the Art of Prime to have soft eyes

Which, when looking at Ratchet, does in fact come across in his design but I wanna point out one very vital factor in his eyes.

These almost teardrop like additions to them.

And, knowing how rare to see them it is , believe me, I had to go through a lot of clips to find shots where it showed these tears I once again cannot help but be reminded of tears, of a medic in mourning.

Mourning what? The loss of his world, of his allies, his loved ones, his patients.

And it is so rare to see these tears, just as rare as it is to see Ratchet be vulnerable, because he puts on the armor and shields that hide his emotions from others.

With the kids for example, he immediately rejects the idea, but grows so close to Raf

one of my favorite gifs that shows how gentle and soft Ratchet once was is this

How he is quick to use both hands to catch Raf, and makes sure he has a hold of him with both, before making sure to shift to one carefully.

And keeping his eyes ON Raf, all times as he carries him.

And as always I mention RID15 for the rare good thing it did in design

It showed how tired he is. He was a war medic, making sure everyone made it back in one piece and made it out alive, and RID15 shows it in a way that makes it also feel so tragic

Ratchet bears the tears, ever eternal, of a doctor who couldn't save many, but saved those that mattered most.

Grumpy he may be, but there is a gentleness to him, no matter what he says to all.

Recently binge watched RID2015! It inspired me to do some editing since I feel some of the design changes were strange. I wanted to make them look more like their Tfp designs! What do you think?

I decided to draw more Optiratch but in G1 and RobotsInDisguise-

It was pretty fun to try it! :]

[paradimeart]

For you divorce baby Au: Jetstorm and Jetfire. It's a comedy film in my mind, I can just imagine the chaos two (flying?/hovering?) baby orbs can chaos in elite guard headquarters, driving everyone nuts, dodging all the hands trying to grab them, the go to baby sitter who can keep up is Blurr.

ps. all your au's and art are amazing

i HAVE thought about the jettwins in a proto-orb scenario though its a lil different than what uve described

they cant fly until they get limbs and little baby thrusters but they sure can use their other powers. also the part about blurr i drew something stupid and then remembered rise of safeguard actually takes place during season 2. have it anyway

Ratchet: "A week, a month, a year... what's the difference? There'll always be an ending -- and if you're lucky, you get to see it coming."

[mgarmagedon]

Besides I have new theory! Because I found out yesterday night, that Undertone looks quite similar too Bee in tfp

I MEAN LOOK AT HIM AFTER I MADE HIM YELLOW!!!

LOOK AT THIS YELLOW FUCK, THEY LOOK SIMILAR AND I CAN'T UN-SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!1111!11111!1

My theory is that Ratchet after he was forced to retire and they gave him Undertone as his "nanny" XD, and he agreed for that ONLY because he looks like his son when he was a teenager.

Drift, frustrated: Flirt back Ratchet, even more frustrated: How?!
