It is fantastic that Ratchet is getting the love these last few episodes. He has been a stalwart on Team Prime. Even when angry or in despair, he throws all his emotions in. Just such a well done character, well acted, great design. NOOOOOOO, don't die!

 

Ratchet was brave in this episode.

 

Ratchet put a up a fight to what was about to be his end. Tough old Bot. That's why I love him.

 

Ratchet really is awesome!  

He kinda reminds me of my grandpa. Old, grouchy and tough. But underneath he truly cares.

Ratchet exudes a tough exterior to protect an all too soft spark. You see it in everything he does, how much he pours himself into his work in the belief and hope that it will, somehow, help his fellow 'Bot's, protect the children he's grown to care for and perhaps, revive Cybertron.

I really, really hope Doc Bot doesn't die.

 

Ratchet was extremely brave in this episode. Not only did he have to deal with the abuse (physical and verbal) from Megatron, but for him to stand up to Predaking speaks volumes of how wonderful and courageous this Doc Bot is.

Never ceases to amaze me.  

 

Ratchet is so brave~.

Spoiler

But I think he's going to regret convincing Predaking that he should kill ALL Transformers. :/

 

I missed today's episode. I can't wait to see it - sounds like the doctor was in his finest form!

 

*reads your post in "Synthesis Discussion."*

Looks like you weren't disappointed!  

 

Nope!  

 

Judging by the preview, we're going to get more action from him next week too! He's whipping out the surgical blades!  

 

yeah...had he had time to think about it a bit better, he might've worded it a bit differently...or at least placed more blame on Megatron.

 

"I know where I am needed."

Even more than Starscream, Ratchet has been the richest, fullest character in TFP. Love how he has come full circle to care so deeply about the human side of his family.

 

^^ That was a very nice touch. ^^

Ratchet didn't leave his comfort zone.

 

This effect is probably going to carry on all the way to the Movie. *bites lip*
Ah well, still quick thinking on his part. I think his convincing was especially effective because this was the first time any one ever treated Predaking as more than a beast and appealed his intelligence. "Analyze" indeed.

 

When Ratchet said he was staying I thought "smart Ratchet!"

Let them do all the rebuilding and then come home. yip yip yip *evil smile*

 

You know what your problem is Optimus for such a big strong bot, your soft
