Back in the early episodes of TF Prime, Ratchet did show a bit of a goofier side, getting super excited over the chance to build projects for the kids to take to school.
And with how much tinkering and researching he does to build the ground bridge, and other tech, I definitely believe he’s the inventing type also shown in RBA.
Now that the long, hard war is over, maybe Ratchet finally returned to the happier bot he was, once upon a time. I mean, he’s called the ‘Party Ambulance’ for a reason, right? He learned those amazing fighting moves at some point, maybe even was a bit of a show-off? [I’m quite convinced Synthen Ratchet’s sass must have come from some rebel streak in his youth lol]
And with the miracle of new life finally returning to Cybertron, maybe he saw the young sparks and new family as a gift? Maybe his time spent on Earth with the human children taught him to be kinder to youngsters, open to teach them, while still expecting high tier results. But most importantly, it taught him about family. And then in RBA he gets a BIG one!
Haha But he’s probably like...we few survived a 4 million+ year old civil war, let’s see how you kids can handle these new sims...I designed!! Oh gosh Ratchet, go easy on them!!!! XD
It’s an interesting character development, and though I also miss the grumpy mech, I’m really excited to see this happier Ratchet. He deserves to be happy! And I am still not over that he has an adorable nephew...who totally talks just like him!!!!!
