Transformers Legends

Ratbat auditioned to join the Knights of Unicron alongside his friends Laserbeak and Smooth Jazz. After a series of grueling try-outs, the three were finally accepted into the band.

He can hit those really high notes.
  • Knights of Unicron Reunion Tour Set (San Diego Comic-Con 2014 exclusive, 2014)
    • Accessories: Keytar strap
A redeco of Animated Ratbat, Knights of Unicron Ratbat is a robo-bat that transforms into a keytar, with some gaudy gold stripes on him to add to the glam-rock vibe of the box set. Added to this version of the toy is a removable elastic fabric strap to keep him in place when being played by his partner Smooth Jazz. Unfortunately, the knobs on his keytar mode, while good for keeping the elastic strap in place, are too small to actually fit properly in any 5 mm post-holes.
He was only available in the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con "Knights of Unicron Reunion Tour Set", which also included hair-metal versions of Megatron, Optimus Prime, Smooth Jazz, Soundwave, and Laserbeak.
