favorite thing about them its fucking RATTRAP dude. hes my best friend. all jokes aside he is the PERFECT and i mean PERFECT "guy who acts silly but is deeply tragic" character if you just take some time to think about him. hes annoying but in such a charming, funny little way, but he can be so genuine and real at times. i love that in a character. and the reason i call him a "perfect" version of that trope? because you have to think about him in order to see it. a perfect silly guy whos harboring sadness should also fool the audience at times, not just the people around him. hes such good analysis fodder that no one really takes up because. well. dinobot is right there and i cant really blame them for that.

least favorite thing about them he is, in fact, so fucking annoying sometimes. like at the end of the day i love him, but he is sooooo annoying. especially the whole "are you secretly a pred" thing. like. we get it you dont like predacons can we move on. (picks him up under his arms like a cat)

favorite line theres so many but if ONLY to force people to know he said this, im going to say the fact in season 2 episode 5 "maximal no more," rattrap has the audacity to say, IN A KIDS SHOW, "you really get off on this commander gig, dont ya?"

brOTP every single relationship rattrap has in this show is insane. a platonic one i dont think people talk about enough is him and optimus. they have one of the funniest i have seen because its so unclear how they know each other past the whole "im your commander" thing. like did they know each other before this? are they long time friends and its friendly sleights? or is it just like genuinely they barely know each other and act like this. so many questions never to be answered ever

OTP i mean. of course im gonna say it. im a poly maximals fiend. rattrap is dating rhinox and is dating dinobot and dinobot is dating optimus who btw has a very deep profound relationship with rhinox dont ask and cheetor is their son. you know

nOTP i... dont really think ive ever encountered a rattrap ship in the wild that i supremely hated...? i guess the general ground rule of "dont ship anyone with cheetor" applies but nothing rattrap specific. i would just mostly be baffled by anything else but i guess nod and move on..?

random headcanon beast wars takes place in a post earth connected to cybertron society. i think rattrap is a real bostonian. i will not clarify further

unpopular opinion uhhhhhhh... hm.... i dont really know what constitutes as an unpopular opinion here. can i just include a joke? can i say rattrap doesnt know what women are? can i make that in joke public? every time he talked about women in the show he thought it was slang for twinks. he thought airazor and blackarachnia were twinks. not clarifying further this is literally a bit

song i associate with them sorry to everyone else ray this is just for you ぺこみこ大戦争 !! by REDALiCE

favorite picture of them this, purely for the confusion it is going to cause the outside world
