Description Ratchet in his DarkWolf Armor designed specifically for him by Abel, the Azul. A marvel of defensive and offensive technology.

The armor is a reinforced titanium/trillium alloy (not entirely sure if trillium is a Polaris-only metal... I hope not xP) that will protect against most forms of high-velocity projectiles (bullets and such) and is completely resistant to energy-based weaponry, absorbing it to use to add power it's reflex enhancers and highten the abilities of it's nano-tech; when it has absorbed all the energy it can, the orbs found on the suit will glow. All the while being lightweight at an astonishing 37 lbs. thanks to careful refining techniques.

Helmet: Designed with a retractable faceplate much like the Deadzone helmet, but only reveals the mouth and nose (hint, hint, Insomniac >:U). The visor is as hard as diamond and can adjust to sunlight as well as switch between normal, thermal, and night vision via telepathic sensors. Capitalizing on the telepathic sensors, the suit also allows for instant contact via CommLink with any known frequency with but a thought and can be shut off just as easily.

Torso: The armor over the torso is reinforced even more to protect the major organs. If needed, the armor will administer defibrillation to the heart to revive to user, all the while fully utilizing the built-in nano-tech to repair any damage done to the body.

Arms: The most notable features of the arms are the inclusion of enhancers to allow for stronger grip, speed, and force for deadly effectiveness, as well as the power-directors located on the palms which can make of any absorbed energy and force it into whatever the directors touch (without fear of harming the user).

Legs: Much like the arms in terms of strength enhancements, most notable is the increased jumping ability and agility. If need be, the user can glide across the landscape for a short while thanks to the rechargable jets located on the soles.

Tail: In a stroke of genius by Abel, the tail was turned into it's own weapon. If need by, the user may stab an enemy with the spike on the tip to administer a lethal dose of an disclosed mixture of toxins. The spike is easily retractable via telepathic sensors.


Alright, I'd just like to point out that I winged the whole thing you just read

I would love for Insomniac to make full use of THAT kind of helmet for it's ultimate armor in each game. I don't give a crap if his face is covered during gameplay, but I damn well better see his expression if I'm able to fully enjoy the dialogue and humor! >

Note the Megaman feet... I did this for one reason and one reason only... It's easier xD Oh and cuz you rarely see it now! (w00t oldskool!!!)

The side view of the helmet should point out that his ears aren't shortened but rather just forced up slightly because of the design (I'll be making sure that Caine and Abel's ears are a longer length from now on the note of length xP)

This whole thing was just an idea I had and I really doubt I'll post a back image xP

Hope you all like^^

I designed the armor, but Insomniac owns Ratchet's fuzzy butt xP

Sorry for ALL of the things i'm typing I just want it done in a day ebfore I loose the moment...

I love the armor totally, especially the face is nicely done (except for the ars, they seem a bit TO high :s) But something I find a bit disturbing.

A) this was made by Abel for Ratchet (reasons unknown to me as the story issn't that far, perhaps just for protection vs Caine) so why issn't it in blue colours? Wich Abel loves so much... or in green (wich are Ratchet's colour)

B) I wonder why you said it's Trillium/Titanium... I always taught it would be a Raritarium (wich is only a Polaris metal, but some can be found on Pokitaru in Solana) and a Trillium.

P.S. he louks HOT (drools)
P.P.S. No i'm not into animal stuff, but one may admire these things no?

Hehe, all the comments are fine by me. I love answering them.

In truth, the ears are like that because when I first drew Ratchet, I wasn't able to draw lombax ears for crap and they came out like that. So, I played it off by saying it was supposed to be like a wolf (kinda like the ultimate armor in the other game was a fox).

As for the red, that was just cuz I like the color, but that is still up in the air and will probablly end up being green by the time it shows up xDDD

Earlier designs can be a real pain for visualizing what's been written, huh? xD

Tell me about it!

Tough might I give a few tips? Perhaps try to create his shoes a bit less big they seem to be out of proportion. And perhaps for his back some sort of generator where the actuall power of energy weapons is gathered and then dispersed trough the suit. Less you don't want to offcours.

It would just make the suit more believable. Don't get me wrong I just love the art of it, but heck i'm just me.

Well, I did the feet that way to make the similiar the leg armor of Nero and Noir (though I never got around to posting a pic to show them fully).

Hmm, probably will add a generator on it, though.

i have but one word for that: DAYUM.

no really, that's hot. and i completely agree with you on terms of the ultimate armor thing. that's why i LOVED the cheat to remove ratchet's helmet in Deadlocked, because 1. i'm a fangirl, i love those fuzzy ears 2. his expressions are priceless. that's why i normally stop at the level of armor before the last one. i'm competent enough to not need it.

as for the armor itself, wow. there's not much i can say. the only thing that bothers me is the ears. they're too high up, but as you pointed out, they're part of the design and indeed resemble a wolf, so problem solved.

wow...seriously, i'd send this into insomniac just to see what they think! imagine lookin' at your own work in HI DEF. hell yes.

i'd say now you should try a wrench to complete the ensemble!!

ideallyRANDOM In reply to birdie94 [2008-01-07 22:16:42 +0000 UTC]

Well, I must say DAYUM, myself xD Thank you very much for your words^^

I was curious if they ever would consider looking at others designs. I know they thank their online community in the credits often, but I never hear what exactly forums help with. I would indeed love to see this suit be brought to life in a future installment.

I never actually considered a wrench, but I'll more than likely do it now that you've mentioned it^^

Thank you very much^^

birdie94 In reply to ideallyRANDOM [2008-01-08 02:33:57 +0000 UTC]

you know, i kinda wonder if they ever want to base armor, weapons, and planets off of fan submissions, suggestions, and ideas, but can't for legal reasons and greedy, so-called "fans" wanting their share of the wealth for the idea behind the design.

i am part of the online community, but i never actually went on the forum because i always figured it would mostly be talk about multiplayer games and i didn't actually get hooked up to the 'net until my dad realized that the PS3 could do that.

well, i could always give the forum a shot now!

Seeing as they have a fan art gallery, I'm thinking i'll be uploading a few pics soon.

They have credited some of their members for helping with the developement of games via feedback, but I want to see what has been attributed by fans^^
