Ratchet quotes from Transformers: Animated

Ratchet

Why do you waste your time with those old history vids.

Optimus Prime

All the great Autobot leaders learn from the past.

Bumblebee

That long?

Bulkhead

His attention span is short, too.

Bumblebee

I heard that!

Prowl

Apparently, so is his fuse.

Bulkhead

Ooh, the ninjabot gets in a good one!

Ratchet

Who knew he had it in him?

Bumblebee

Yeah, aren't you supposed to be the strong, silent type? Emphasis on the silent.

Bumblebee

Turbo boosters! Suh-weet!

Optimus Prime

You're not actually thinking of hooking these things up to yourself, are you?

Bumblebee

Oh, of course not! I was gonna ask the doc-bot to do it for me.

Ratchet

Have you got your processor up your exhaust port? These things are untested, incompatible—

Sari

And totally wicked fast!

Bumblebee

Here it comes!

Bulkhead

Swing it! Give it the old Bulkhead treatment, Sari!

Optimus

Why exactly is she swinging at a colorful animal?

Ratchet

Smack it! Smack it already!

Bulkhead

Hold on, Sari, I'll help! I don't even need a bat.

Prowl

This will not end well….

Bulkhead

Hanging out. Teaching her ninja nerve blows. Watching cartoons.

Fanzone

Hold up? What was that again?

Bulkhead

Watching cartoons.

Fanzone

No before that.

Bulkhead

Teaching her ninja nerve blows.

Fanzone

You're teaching an eight-year-old to do nerve blows?

Ratchet

You want her to pick it up in the street?

Prowl

This is part of every protoform's elemental programming.

Fanzone

Say what?

Bulkhead

Yeah, it's not like we're having her fight Decepticons.

Optimus Prime

I'm afraid I don't see the logic in trying to reproduce an image with such primitive tools.

Prowl

I believe it's more about creating something from one's imagination, like this one for instance.

Bulkhead

Actually, that was an accident I had with Ratchet's blow torch.

Ratchet

You ask me, it's all a waste of time. No 'bot ever saved anyone with art.

Hothead Blitzwing

The Key, Autobot!

Ratchet

You'll have to pry it from my cold, offline servo. >

Random Blitzwing

Well, it's not exactly offline, but— [Rips off Ratchet's arm] —it's certainly cold. Ahahahaha!

Ratchet

Move it, already! Don't you humans have anything better to do?!

Sari

You should really try to be more patient with people.

Ratchet

I'd be a lot more patient with them...if they'd GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Bumblebee

[To Wreck-Gar] What are you? [To Sari] What is he?

Sari

I don't know, but he's givin' off a ton of AllSpark energy.

I am Wreck-Gar! I give off a ton of AllSpark energy!

Bumblebee

So, what, an AllSpark fragment just brought a junk pile to life and made some new kind of Autobot?!

I am Wreck-Gar! I am some new kind of Autobot?!

Ratchet

Listen up, scrapheap. You're not an Autobot, and you never will be an Autobot. You're only good for one thing...GARBAGE!

I am Wreck-Gar! I am only good for one thing...GARBAGE! I must deliver garbage to all! [transforms and rolls out]

Bulkhead

But...I thought we were friends.

Mixmaster

We are friends, Bulky, that's why we ain't gonna hurt you, okay? Long as you hand over whatever bits you got of the...th-...what did he call it again?

Scrapper

Uh, SparkAll? AllSpark, AllSpark.

Optimus

Over my offline body!

Mixmaster

Aghh—you know what? I have had enough of this dipstick-in-the-mud!

Bumblebee

Hey! He's our dipstick!

Ratchet

And nobody pushes him around!

Ratchet

Prowl, any sign of the Dinobots?

Prowl

Negative, Ratchet. I'm starting to think those reports of rampages were nothing but exaggeration.

Optimus

We're not taking any chance, Prowl. That's why I had Ratchet lend you his EMP generator and those stasis cuffs.

Prowl

Still, I hardly think they're necessary. The Dinobots are territorial, but if left alone, they're perfectly happy.

Bulkhead

He doesn't look too happy to me!

Optimus

You should have called us sooner. If that weapon had gotten into Megatron's hands

Bumblebee

I know. I guess I just wanted to prove that I still had my touch.

Ratchet

Well, I hope you've learned something about team work.

Bumblebee

Oh, yeah. Even the star player needs backup sometimes.

Sari

Guys, I think I'm getting the hang of this whole powers thing. Look what I just learned to do.

Ratchet

Hey!! Hey!

Sari

Uh, oops. Why waste your time fixing stuff the old fashioned way when I could just use my key?

Ratchet

Let me tell you something, kiddo. My old fashioned ways have saved plenty of servos. Just because something's newer and easier doesn't make it better.

Sari

Uh, yeah it does. I mean, if you ask me, having these new Cybertronian powers is way cooler than not having them. Well, except for the blowing-your-stuff-up part.

Ratchet

There's more than meets the viz scanners when it comes to being an Autobot, Sari. Having powers and knowing when to use them are two different things.

Sari

But, Ratchet.

Ratchet

If you know what's best for ya, you'll take it slow. And learn the ways of being part machine.

Ratchet

What in the name of Cybertron is that!?

Sari

Hey boulder-bot! You wanna mess with my city? You gotta go through me first!

Prowl

Sari?

Bulkhead

But she looks so different.

Optimus Prime

Sari, what are you doing?

Sari

Don't sweat it, Prime! I got this one covered!

Optimus Prime

We have to get that key!

Ratchet

I told you, I'm fine!!

Optimus Prime

I know that, Ratchet. But if the key is what's overloading Sari's circuits, removing that power source could shut her down.

Ratchet

Right. Sorry about that, Prime.

Optimus Prime

Just take care of Bumblebee. We'll do the rest. Transform and roll out!
