Jerkass: Ratchet after Qwark's betrayal.He does become determined to get back at Qwark though. At this point, the only thing keeping him from dumping Clank and packing it all in is a need for mutual cooperation.
Heroic BSOD: Ratchet gets one after Qwark's betrayal. Everyone Has Standards: Ratchet is the Good Is Not Nice type of hero but even he's disgusted by Drek's motives. Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Drek's Planet Buster weapon. Much of the boosts that Clank bestows on Ratchet that come standard in later games have to be earned here. Quark is a lot craftier than modern audiences are used to. Not only does Ratchet have a different voice (Mike Kelly instead of James Arnold Taylor), he's a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal and proper Jerkass instead of the fully-clothed Deadpan Snarker of later games. The game's weapons are rather straightforward, compared to the more outlandish sci-fi weapons that would come to define the brand in later years. It also has a rather political, anti-Capitalist, tone instead of the Space Opera feel that the brand would later settle into. It also has a much Lighter and Softer tone. The game is much more of problem solver/platformer than its sequels. The Dragon: The Robot Lieutenant is this to Drek early on in the game, but he promptly disappears after the duo encounter him in the logging site on Eudora and gets replaced by Qwark. The two have to choke back their disgust at this. He's a Corrupt Corporate Executive who's Only in It For the Money. Disappointed by the Motive: As quoted in Motive Misidentification, Ratchet and Clank assumed that Drek was a Well-Intentioned Extremist who was genuinely trying to help his people at any cost. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. #RATCHET AND CLANK WIKI QUARK MANUAL#
