Rumors that Ratchet is Secretly a Decepticon are Unconfirmed
Bumblebee, NOOOOOOOOOO! The human inside the brave Autobot was unharmed. There is no information available right now about how deep the Decepticon infiltration has reached, though Ratchet and Prowl have been taken into protective custody pending a full diagnostic scan.
