Changes: Wrench

Revision as of 07:50, 25 February 2009

The wrench was a basic melee weapon that could also be used as a tool for activating Bolt Cranks, among other things. There were several forms of wrenched found across both the Solana and Bogon galaxies, and some versions were also developed by Vox Industries in the Shadow Sector. Ratchet always carried a wrench, he used several different wrenches throughout his life.

Ratchet initially carried a Gadgetron OmniWrench 8000, although during his time in the Bogon Galaxy he replaced it with more powerful wrenches. OmniWrench 8000 V2 on Tabora and OmniWrench 8000 V3 on Aranos, respectively. He continued to use the wrench he found on Aranos after he returned to Solana. The wrench could be temporarily enhanced further using the Infernox Crates, turning it into an Infernox wrench, which set fire to anything it touched.

While in the DreadZone, Ratchet acquired a series of new, progressively stronger wrenches: the Versa-Wrench Lite, Versa-Wrench Multicore, Versa-Wrench Striker, Fission Lance and Obsidian Blade. These wrenches could be modified with morphing mod by using a cheat. Fission Lance and Obsidian Blade are also on fire like Infernox wrench.

After leaving the Shadow Sector he acquired an OmniWrench 10K that could be upgraded using Wrench Mods. After Ratchet escaped from the Prison with Clank's help, and prior to visiting the Polaris Galaxy, he got an OmniWrench 3000, an older model of the OmniWrench. While separated from Clank, he replaced it with an OmniWrench Millennium 12, to which he added an illegal kinetic tether mod. These wrenches could be modified with morphing mod by using a cheat. Fission Lance and Obsidian Blade are also on fire like Infernox wrench.

Trivia

The names of the two wrench upgrades in Going Commando were never explicitly stated in the game; however, in Up Your Arsenal Ratchet uses the second wrench upgrade and it is called OmniWrench 8000 in the Help Menu. So the wrenches are newer versions of the original OmniWrench 8000.

Confusingly, although Ratchet's Wrench in Size Matters is called the OmniWrench 10K, it resembles his standard OmniWrench 8000 from the first game.

Even if Ratchet's OmniWrench 8000 V3 looks same as Versa-Wrenches and other wrenches he carried in Dreadzone, they are different wrenches.
