Comment I want to vote keep since he is one of the main robots in some of the Transformers properties, but the sourcing on this article is a mess. Having looked at a few transformers articles, I am not sure that any have sources that actually establish notability, which is sad since the transformers have deep cultural penetration.

Keep While I agree most of the pages on Transformers I have seen in AFD certainly deserve to be deleted, Ratchet is a main character with decades of notability across films, tv, comics, toys etc.. He is one of the main characters and is generally central to their history as the medic of the crew. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 01:45, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If he is so notable, why does the article lack a reception section, nor have any new sources come up in the AfD. I am unconvinced that this article would pass GNG._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 00:05, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
