The Henkei version's stripes resemble those of his original toy, while the Universe version more resembles his Animated counterpart. The red paint detailing on Universe Ratchet is different than that of Henkei Ratchet in color and layout. While similar in execution, there are a great many changes from Henkei Ratchet to Universe Ratchet. He sports the American-style emergency lightbar previously used for Universe Prowl (and later used again for Generations Red Alert) cast in translucent blue plastic (as opposed to Henkei! Henkei! Ratchet's differently sculpted red Japanese-style emergency lightbar).

Known designers: Alex Androski (deco artist).Accessories: Medical Dispenser/Combat Blade.However, these clips are right where a pair of decals normally go. This version of the toy was retooled to add a pair of "clips" to the mobile platform's gun-base, designed to keep Ratchet more securely attached when riding it.

By punching out the image along the perforated edges, folding it just so and tucking it in behind the toy's windshield, one could give the toy a "real" head, just like in the TV series, instead of using the Diaclone-original windshield face sticker. This particular version came with an illustration on one box flap depicting Ratchet's cartoon-design head and chest windshield. In mid-December 2007, Ratchet was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's Encore line.
He could only be purchased in an at-show "souvenir" two-pack along with Flareup. The mold's standard "receiver dish" weapon was not produced instead, he came with a new "light bar" that pegged onto his roof in much the same manner. In this, ahem, position, Ratchet can also form the top half of a two-robot "Powerlinx combiner" with any Energon Deluxe Autobot, and any of them can also use his platform for their own combination. Ratchet can fold his legs back and up over his shoulders (wow!) and re-attach to this platform for a "battle mode". In robot mode, his lower vehicle portion becomes a mobile battle/repair platform. One of two "souvenir" packages exclusive to BotCon 2005, Ratchet is a retooling of the Energon Autobot Tow-Line with a new head, transforming into a large utility van.
