Ratchet, as a rep from a Non-Nintendo console

[DGN]

He means that, instead of clank being a switch-off, clank is just used in Ratchet's moveset.
I agree with that.

[SmashKing201]

If playable, how will Ratchet and Clank work with their fighting style?

What Im saying is that Clank should be a character that can assist Ratchet , like the Ice Climbers, but not able to be separated from each other.

[El Maiz]

That'd be odd, as Clank can't do the same things as Ratchet.

I still don't really get it.

[SmashKing201]

Is there any moves that Ratchet and Clank do as a duo?

[El Maiz]

Not that I'm aware of.

[SmashKing201]

Well how about as Ratchet does one move of his own, Clank does a move of his own as well which would be 2 different moves performed at one time dealing double the damage?

[El Maiz]

I dunno. It just seems kind of... not right.

During the course of the games, they do switch out, particularly when Clank has to go into space or smaller places.

[SmashKing201]

Never really played the game before, but what abilities does Clank have?

[El Maiz]

Most of what he can do combat wise before his game is just punching. He can also command Gadgebots, he can shoot foes with lightning bolts in one game, and he has something called the Geo-Laser, which let him cut through walls.

Clank was a standard model 7.66 robot and ran on XP-88 sisterboards. While normally rather unimpressive, Clank's strength came from his highly modifiable body, his most common being converted to a backpack. He was fitted with the Heli-Pack, Thruster-Pack, Hydro-Pack and robo-wing upgrades. He seemed to have some sort of device for shrinking devices in his torso. He got an ability to transform into a Giant Clank ultramech using an Ultra-Mech launch pad. He was upgraded with a weapon called the Clank Zapper which allowed him to damage enemies from his place on Ratchet's back. Shady Salesman Billy sold Ratchet the Levitator, a device which enabled Clank to fly using boost pads. While the duo was transformed into digital forms, Ratchet found a device called Clank's Grapple, which allowed Clank to extend his arms and use them as grappling hooks pretty much like the Swingshot. The Zoni gave Clank the Robo-Wings, the ability to slow down time and the Geo-Laser. Clank also got a Heli-Pack boost in A Crack in Time. When you pressed "X" in mid-air, Clank was given higher altitude.[3] Sigma 0426A installed a Quantum Actuater in Clank's circuitry, allowing Clank to create and use time pads.

[SmashKing201]

So how about as Ratchet shoots his gun, Clank shoots his lightning bolt or Geo Laser?

[El Maiz]

I frankly think that this moveset works well. Why is it that you think that would work better?

[SmashKing201]

I think the way you explained your moveset can work, no complaint. I just figured that they may work better as a duo instead of switching from one to another. But I never really played the game (though my little brother has it) so it is a bit difficult for me to put in ideas based on what was actually done in the game. So far I like the moveset, between 1-5, I would give it a 4/5

[El Maiz]

Updated first post, with a short section explaining my logic for the Tag team, as well as minor changes to the moveset.

Also, did the poll just glitch and add another vote to each option, or did a bunch of people vote in a very coordinated way?

[Dettadeus]

We get 8 votes, there are 8 answers.
Someone probably just selected all of them.

[El Maiz]

Ah

That's rather annoying.

And kind of messing up the poll.

[SmashKing201]

I only picked two options that are not complete opposite of the other. Some is obviously picking all options to be funny.

[El Maiz]

Also, I was mistaken. I mentioned the Ratchet & Clank series having "five dozen" weapons, but the count is actually 406 weapons.

[SmashKing201]

Also, if Ratchet & Clank can switch, where would the character being switch disappear to? For example, Pokemon Trainer's pokemon disappear into a pokeball, Samus armor shatters and reveals Zero Suit while Zero Suit gains her power suit to become Samus again.

I was thinking that Ratchet would turn around, and teleport away on a teleport pad, but leaving Clank behind.

When switching back to Ratchet, it'd probably be a pretty much reversed version of this.

[DGN]

Not having to do iwth Ratchet, but with the fact of only if Master Chief is in...
We have Banjo-Kazooie, and I don't think he's going to be cut.
Yes, I know B-K was on a Nintendo console, but as of now Rare appears to hate Nintendo, and thus left to Microsoft.
He'd be a good representative for Microsoft, and Ratchet would be a good representative for Sony
