In IDW Publishing's Transformers comic continuity (2005–2018), Ratchet is the cynical, world-weary Chief Medical Officer of the Autobots. Far from a gentle healer, he is a seasoned veteran hiding deep compassion behind a cantankerous and sometimes brutal demeanor.Key Characteristics & LoreBackground: Before the Great War, he worked closely with Optimus Prime (then Orion Pax) to operate a secret free clinic in the impoverished "Empties" district of Cybertron.The Lost Light Era: Following the war, he joined the crew of the starship Lost Light in The Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye. This series provides some of his deepest character development, where he grapples with his advanced age and eventually passes his medical duties to his protégé, First Aid.Relationship with Drift: Despite his staunch, scientific atheism, he forms a deep bond with the spiritual and philosophical Autobot (and former Decepticon) Drift. The two eventually became a romantic couple, affectionately known in the fandom as "#Dratchet".Legacy: He was highly respected across the galaxy for his unrivaled medical skills, famously being the only Autobot to have personally saved the life of every Cybertronian Prime.
