That made me sniffle. I say so what if it's a little OOC, sometimes you have to stretch for a story. As long as nobody's running around with lampshades on their head(Except Skids and Mudflap, they could get away with it) it's fine. And what a shocking plot twist you threw in. Made Ratchet's pain a lot more raw. Going from a peaceful mech to a war machine is enough to rattle EVERYBODY's CPU's.

Aww, poor Ratch' ;_;. It must be hard on Ironhide too.
