Ratchet, Autobot Chief Medical Officer
Ratchet (ラチェット, Rachetto) is the Autobots' medical officer, and has a dry wit, often giving his wounded comrades a hard time for taking hits he somehow avoids. While he works to find new ways to make do, he'd really prefer if the Autobots didn't risk injury (or worse) to protect humans. He'd also prefer the humans weren't brought to thier base but since he is unfamiliar with human tech, he needs people like, Coby to help him out. However, for all his views on humans, deep down Ratchet admires what the tiny fleshies bring to the fight.

History[]
Past[]
During the Decepticons' siege of Iacon, Ratchet was assigned to Optimus, and helped him rescue two couriers named Bulkhead and Bumblebee, who informed Optimus that with the presumed death of the Cybertronian Primes, the Council was putting him in command. The three of them headed back to the command center, receiving a message from Jetfire that the Aerialbots were being overwhelmed and needed support. It was decided that the planetary guns, disabled earlier by Megatron's forces, needed to be brought back online. Informing Jetfire that he was taking temporary command, Optimus took Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee with him on the mission, though when Ratchet questioned the "temporary" part, Optimus brushed it aside.
When that mission was completed, they decided their next stop was the Decagon, in order to re-establish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. Hitting serious resistance, including several Decepticon war machines and more than a few damaged lifts which Ratchet puzzled out a way around, they nonetheless prevailed with help from Jetfire and Ironhide, before reaching the Decagon itself, where they encountered the former Autobot Sky Commander, Starscream. They managed to defeat him as well and retook the Decagon.
After Optimus was named the new Prime, Ratchet was one of those who stayed behind with Optimus to resist Megatron's schemes, and to build an Ark to carry them from their home when the time came.
