#tranformers ratchet

Ratchet headcanons and little character analysis bc he's my favorite:

ceo of grumpiness

"I don't care" (he cares very much)

after the incident with raf, he researches as much as he can about humans and talks with june a lot about medical stuff

him and raf often sit together working on their different projects

if they both decide to chat, raf often asks about cybertron, which eventually led to ratchet teaching him some cybertronian

miko and bulkhead will be loud or do something stupid and he's just like "how are they still alive at this point"

over time, as he got to know jack better, he saw more and more of Orion Pax in him

speaking of orion pax/optimus, i am pleased to announce i am a hardcore optiratch shipper

(love the ratchet and wheeljack ship tho, i can definitely see them too, optiratch just has a special place in my heart tho yk?)

they're just old dudes being gay

that being said, they don't really show it that much in public?

not for any specific reason, they're just very reserved bots, and both ratchet and optimus are busy most of the time

however they do manage to sneak moments in where they enjoy their company together

ok now for some kind of angsty hcs

remember the synthetic energon episode?

although he is much much better, sometimes he catches himself wanting it again (especially if he feels like he can't do something, or a task is just extra harder than normal)

he doesn't actually do anything about it, all he can do is wait for the feeling to pass

and it does, whether its by himself or optimus helping distract him.

ratchet knows he's intelligent, he knows his expertise is helping out from "behind the scenes", operating the groundbridge, patching the team up, and experimenting on things.

he loves doing all those things, but sometimes he wishes he could do more. (RATCHET I LOVE YOU, YOURE PERFECT AND YOU ALWAYS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP OTHERS)

thats about all i can think of for now <3

How many variations of "Fucked that old man." can I get out before Ratchet kicks me out of medbay challenge

Talk about an awkward reunion....

[cozzzynook]

Someone kidnapping sparkling Hot Rod and Perceptor trying to get him back.

I made this story twice and it kept getting deleted. I really want to crash out honestly.

But this is my third and final attempt at making this so i’ll just say Hot rod is a bitty with a spark condition and he’s taken from Perceptor while the mech is recharging. Perceptor wakes up and wails in anguish going on a bot hunt for his bitty who was taken by a group of mechs who believe bots with a dysfunction, not capable of serving their species or forged from or could forge other bots in the future from tanks.

He finds the group that stole his bitty and offlines them in a carriers rage that leaves them in pieces with their sparks ripped up and some missing chunks from being bitten out.

Hot rod is no longer allowed to sleep in his special made sparkling pod that they stole him in. Instead he’s strapped to Perceptor twenty four seven with his spark wires hooked into his chest and being hefted around on Perceptors hip and back.

Hot rod is not allowed out of Perceptors sight for a very very long time. The wreckers, Optimus, Ratchet, Deadlock, Prowl and Jazz have to intervene and send him to counseling.

Both Hot rod and Perceptor were traumatized by the kidnapping along with every mech aboard the ark and the decepticon side.

Word spread quickly and war just wasn’t on the forefront of any bots mind since almost every bot on both sides had a sparkling or more to protect. War just kind of stops and both sides claim a side of the planet for themselves.

Perceptor eventually learns to let Hot rod stay with others.

He lets Optimus watch Hot rod who plays with Bee. Hot rod and Bee developed differently than most of the sparklings on board. Bee was born too small and unable to process minerals and the ability to naturally create nutrients while Hot rod’s spark was connected to a lot of wires that stabilized it and helped it developed a normal beat.

Perceptor felt most comfortable with Hot rod in Optimus care. His next choice was Deadlock and Ratchet which surprised a lot of bots except for those that knew the three. Deadlock did not play when it came to sparklings and he barely trusted a bot outside of Ratchet and Perceptor with his own bitty First aid. Hot rod enjoyed playing with sparkling sized fake medical tools that Ratchet made for First aid. Ratchet was the best medic cybertron had ever seen and he was perfect to make sure Hot rod was okay. It wasn’t a hard decision like Optimus wasn’t. It was just extremely hard being away from him.

The next bot he left Hot rod with was Kup who was a bit rusty but he did very well. He was an incredible grandsire to Hot rod and Perceptor was sure he was safe since Kup wouldn’t let Hot rod from his arms. He found the two napping together barricaded in Kups office and he just couldn’t be mad.

When it came to letting Jazz and Prowl sparkling sit Hot rod he was…ordered to in a way by Optimus who assured him the two would keep an optic on Hot rod as they did Bumblebee. That gave him great reassurance but he still worried every nano klik.

Jazz and Prowl had two sparklings going on three. Springer was another mechs sparkling but Jazz claimed him as his own as well. Springer was a huge sparkling, really huge. He was scared he’d crush or hurt Hot rod but was pleasantly surprised the bitty was even more careful around Hot rod than a sparkling should be. Bluestreak was a bitty like Hot rod but even he was careful. The three of them had fun playing together and Springer even managed to rest Hot rod against him when he sat up. It was both scary and extremely cute but Perceptor was more than happy to leave Hot rod with them.

His winning moment of loving Springer was when they were all sitting together in the common area talking while their bitties were playing. Bee was rolling on the floor with Bluestreak while First aid was putting band aids on Blasters sparkling. Chromia and Windblades sparkling Arcee was nibbling on Springers helm, the bitty didn’t even mind, while smoothing Hot rods helm.

Perceptor was unapologetically grateful the sparklings had a sense to not be rough with Hot rod or Bee and still included them.

He also fell in love with the big green bitty when a mech came up to the group of sparklings with the creators permission and smiled waving at them. The bot reached out to give a friendly pat to Bee’s helm only for Hot rod to cry out disproving and that made them all slightly alert but they sat still.

The mech moved away and smiled friendly towards Hot rod with their hands in a soft manner moving slowly towards Hot rod who looked at them funny. Only for Springer to slap their servo away and rev his little engine.

None of them had ever seen him do that, not even his creators. Jazz was quick to grab Springer, who was about to flare his plating at the mech, and Hot rod who whined holding onto Springer. Prowl struggled to get up because he was carrying heavy while Perceptor hefted him up and ran to grab Hot rod while Prowl grabbed Springer.

The mech backed off entirely and scurried off making Jazz and Windblade follow.

“Thank you Springer,” Perceptor spoke truthfully, “I’m forever in your debt,” he truly meant it and the others could tell.

Ever since Perceptor was willing to leave his bitty with another but he never let go of being weary of new bots nor did he allow them to look at his bitty too long.

The start of the autobots zest fest…

[hallucinateonpaperspines]

what kind of jar does ratchet have? A swear jar, a did something idiotic jar, an attempted Murder jar or ..?

He has all the jars.

There’s a shelf in the med lab and he just randomly pulls one out depending on the situation.

Prime skipping recharge jar?

He Needed That jar!

Wreckers lobbed too hard jar?

The Attempted Murder Jar

Raf hacked government servers instead of homework jar?

Miko broke regulated decibel level jar?

Jack forgot to call his mother jar

Ashlyn left the play pen and gave some one a spark attack jar?

The sunshine Wheeljack Jar

Actually I take that back, he doesn’t have a Swear Jar. He’s got the medic glare and wrench for that.

Just started rewatching Transformers Prime and

HOOO BOOY!

I did not remember Optimus and Ratchet being THAT IN LOVE at the beginning.

Like, It's very obvious, but most of their moments you think about come later in the show. But naw, they really just start off like that.

*Optimus runs to his aid and squishes the spider machine for him* "And STAY DOWN!" (Yep, I'm helping my husband)

*after they just barely survived and explosion and OP strikes a hero pose* "Cutting it a bit close a r n ' t w e?" baBE SHUT UP!!

Optimus taking Ratchet out on a date reconnaissance mission, and only because he didn't think he'd be in danger.

"For the first time in my life, Optimus, i'd hoped you were mistaken." BRO!!??

Like they really just looked at the two of them right off the bat and said, yep, old married couple.

[riskyraiker]

Could I request a Transformers original bayverse trilogy where the humans have managed to create Knightmare frames like from code geass. The reader is a platonic friend of Optimus Prime and is the pilot of a Tristan like knightmare they call the "Orion," which is what drew Optimus' intrigue because that was his name before the war, and the reader often looks to Optimus for advice/guidance on how to be a leader since they're the lead pilot operator of the knightmare squadron (u call it whatever you want I just needed to clarify♡) and reader has a habit of climbing up to sit on his shoulder and constantly asking Optimus to tell them stories about his home planet and is always wanting to know about his kind, and what things were like before their civil war, etc. etc. Also, Optimus views the reader like a niece/nephew/son/daughter figure who he feels a sense of kinship with because they're both leaders and enjoys fighting beside them whilst they pilot their knightmare.

I'm sincerely sorry but i haven't seen any of the bayverse movies so I'm not able to write about this😔 but I do love the idea you have! I hope someone can complete this request for you <3

Hello! I'm not too sure what contunuities your familiar with but to pick one out:

Optimus/Ratchet

Hello anon! I think Optiratch is cute in most continuities but I most know it in tfp

Here’s what I’ve picked

It’s very fluffy and wholesome and I really like it! I haven’t read fanfics but I’ve seen fancomics but I didn’t know if that counted or not. Regardless I think the ship is cute and fluffy and it has perfect soulmate fluff materials. 8.5/10 :)

[birthdaycakeplate]

Meanwhile in a ‘tfa crew join a post peace Decepticon excursion force aboard the Nemesis’ AU:

This is the start of a safe, healthy relationship. They don’t know if they prefer this or Lockdown.

What is their history exactly in this universe? asfhgkl holy shit. Also, I think hippy TFA Prowl just belongs with a giant spider.

Bumblebee: I know you like nature and all, but this guys a freak of it!

Optimus: Have you read the Nemesis logs on this mech?! The ones not corrupted??

Ratchet: We are getting you some baffles installed pronto, sweetspark.
