fire-silver replied to your post “What happened to G1 Ratchet?”

I’m sorry if you didn’t want an actual reply but I think it stems mostly from his more “modern” interpretations of him (i.e.- Prime and MTMTE/LL) having those characteristics. Maybe some people probably just think that just because one incarnation of him has these traits they all do?

 @fire-silver No need to apologize! I always love getting replies on my posts!

that could absolutely be the cause, although I heard it started with fans interpretation that became canon in TFA and most incarnations since but it could just as easily be like you said and TFA started having him act like that and fans really like it.

I only got into the fandom like 3 years ago so I don’t really know…

I am curious as to where the idea to change him come from though – was it fans  (I heard people say that they headcanon him to be like dr. bones from Star Trek so that could be it) or if the showrunners decided that the only way to make him a war veteran is to make him be constantly in a bad mood but it apparently struck a chord with people regardless 

and like I said, I like him like that too, I just miss the dorky party ambulance that talked to traffic lights and was fascinated by hot dogs…

//that got a ramble-y there I’m sorry//

What happened to G1 Ratchet?

You know, I’ve been wondering for a while – what happened to G1 Ratchet?

I mean in the comics & episodes I read & watched he seems sweet, a little naive, LOVES to party (maybe a little bit too much😂), very protective of his friends and willing to fight for them while insisting that “I’m a medic, not a fighter!”

So why is it that in almost any other incarnation of the character – including fanfictions of G1 Ratchet – he always seems so angry and cranky – throwing wrenches at people & swearing and insisting he can & wants to fight too???

Don’t get me wrong – I love cranky grandpa Ratchet as much as the next fan but there is something about the erasure of sweet and non-violent characters’ traits (don’t even get me started on Perceptor and Wheeljack…) that just rubs me the wrong way I guess…

Maybe the reboot will give us some of these characters back (although I don’t have much hope for that… “badass” characters just sell better I guess)

Wow

I… I forgot how terrible buying clothes is…

I’m just so tired of trying on different items one after another and just ending up sobbing in the changing room because NONE. OF. THEM. FIT.

I mean I can’t possibly be so abnormally fat that clothes in my size just wouldn’t exist… so why is finding them so hard…
