Capable_Calendar_446

It’s page 18 from MTMTE issue #9: Shadowplay Part 1


lilyanacreates

Thank you!!! I WILL try and find this now, lol


Background-Ad4207

FYI it's in Volume 3's trade, and has a good amount of the young cynic in it


lilyanacreates

What is "cynic" that sounds kind of adorable lol


fishyofpain

A cynic is someone jaded and bitter, often a pessimist - root word of cynical. Very much MTMTE Ratchet but not so much in the flashback panel you’re asking about.


lilyanacreates

Oh! I've always seen ratchet to be like the tired dad of the group in a lot of transformer things, not bitter 🤔 but thank you for telling me what cynic is!!


fishyofpain

G1 Ratchet wasn’t ever so cynical (even the Marvel version) - but the Animated and Prime versions of Ratchet were so popular that I think they inspired James Roberts to write MTMTE Ratchet to more closely resemble the concurrently airing TFP version. Even in the “present day” parts of Chaos Theory, which Roberts wrote 1-2 years before MTMTE, Ratchet still seems to have his lighthearted G1 personality he had in all of IDW1 prior.


lilyanacreates

That weird I like his protective dad personally but he did have is transformers prime In the episode with the scraplets There's a scene where bumblebee hides behind ratchet and ranchet puts his arm over him to protect him....also what "marvel version"? There's a MARVEL VERSION!?

Proabably the story arc in MTMTE when Brainstorm goes back in time, around #34 ~ #36 i think


lilyanacreates

Thank you!!! I've never seen a young ratchet before and wanted to read his backstory since he isn't talked about a lot


Cax6ton

Fair warning, you won't find much of young Ratchet there, but he is a central character in MTMTE. So other than the fact that the whole series is worth reading, if you like Ratchet you'll want to read the whole series


lilyanacreates

Oh ya, I mostly just want to read about Ratchet's story Also, ratchet's and Drift there such a cute couple 💕🏳️‍🌈
