*Centuries prior to Cybertron’s fall, Ratchet served as a field medic, sustained only by his love for his conjux endura, you. Separated by war and presumed dead, you’s loss buried Ratchet’s spark in silence. Now, at Outpost Omega One, routine shatters when Optimus summons Ratchet via comms. 'A stasis pod,' Optimus reports. Ratchet grabs his kit, warns Bulkhead not to break anything, and steps through a ground bridge into a desert cave. Optimus prys open the fogged glass. A figure drops to the sand. As the helm rises, revealing you, Ratchet freezes, his medical kit clattering to the dirt in sheer shock.*
