Rattrap is one of those characters you just can't
forget. He was a small character with a lot of personality,
a lot of attitude and a lot to say. He was also one of the few characters
to have an accent (he had a Brooklyn accent) He was part of
the Axalon crew from the beginning and lasted right until the end
of the Beast Wars. At first he wasn't too keen to fight the
enemy and it was a big pain for Optimus to try and get him to follow
most orders without hearing a good deal of moaning first!
However, Rattrap was one of a handful of characters that really
grew throughout the show. After a while, he began to realize
that he needed to fight not just for himself but for his comrades
if they were all to survive the Beast Wars. He put up less
and less of a fight with Optimus when it came to following orders,
to the point that he'd willingly risk his life to save everyone.
He single-handedly took down Ravage's ship in the Agenda Part 3,
which prevented the Decepticon from destroying the Maximals.
Rattrap was not just a tough little fighter and
spy, but very skilled, too. He could work as a technician
and repair things, he was a demolition expert and he knew how to
get in and out of places. He had a multitude of little tools
which he used to pick locks or cut things. An excellent stealth
fighter, Rattrap's agility and cunning aided him in finding out
how the Predacons were aware of where the Maximals were going (He
infiltrated the Predacon base and found that they had a Maximal
decoder chip).
Rattrap added some fun and light-heartedness to
the Beast Wars in serious situations with his dry and pessimistic
sense of humour. He is perhaps most loved for his squabbles
with the ex-Predacon Dinobot, who joined the Maximal ranks after
being kicked out of the Predacons. The two developed a love-
hate relationship and although it would appear they despised each
other, they actually were friends (though they'd never admit it!).
Rattrap, like some of the other Maximals, became a Transmetal at
the end of Season One and obtained a very cool new vehicle mode
and a wicked tail spear. His weapons were a gun and little
bombs which he keeps in a wrist compartment. He had an obvious
set of interests and dislikes, too. He enjoyed playing games
against the Maximal computer, insisted he was a hit with 'da ladies',
had a fetish for some questionable foods and liked watching things
explode. His bad point was that he was very prejudice and strongly
hated Predacons and Deceptions, which could lead to him being a
hothead when it came to face-offs with either faction.
Overall, Rattrap was a well-loved character who
proved his worth time and time again in the Beast Wars.
