In case anyone is just now stumbling onto this video, as of April 26, 2021, we found out the female lombax's name is Rivet. You guys can now stop correcting me on the name, the secrets out, we all know now.
@@elsaborgarsdottir8945 Yes I agree. I'm aware that it could be a pretty boy lol, or another alternate species since different dimensions and that it just looks like a Lombax since we didn't get to see how that tail fully looks like. Lots of possibilities
@Metal Sonic True, that is a possibility too. But isn't it always cannon info that accompanies the topic of Angela Cross? But yeah I do agree that there is a chance it may not be the case. That radio broadcast in A Crack in Time could pass as a not cannon easter egg.
Shouldn't be really a problem if She does have a tail. If They made another Male like Aliaster in A Crack In Time without a tail like Angela. I'm sure people will go. Males have Tails. So that makes Him Female. I think Both Genders should be either Male and Female with or without a tail. That'll make Their Species unique and stand out like any other Alien Species and Creatures. Also Lomboxes have a Thing and Knack for Highly Advanced Tech, Equipment, and Weaponry. They're also said to be Great Inventors and Mechanics. They're known for using and wielding Wrenches, but this Lombox is wielding a hammer instead of a wrench. Which makes her different from other Lomboxes we seen. It could be possible She's a mixed breed since she has a raccoon tail instead of a feline tail like How other Lomboxes do. Or she could very well be a Alternative Version of Ratchet. His long list Sister, or possibly even his daughter. We won't know until Insomamatic release more confirmation about The Game and Her Origin's.
@@jakestevenson2106 The issue is that Insomniac has been putting this idea into the brains of fans of the series that female Lombax's don't have tails. Now the sudden changing of it so that they do have tails just caused a lot of confusion. I personally think the change would be just fine, it would add more variety to the species design. We also can't see in that angle the full structure of the tail itself so we can't be too sure that it's 100% a mixed breed. Edit: Forgot to mention Alister does have a tail btw
I really hope the girl Lombax isn't an alternate version of Ratchet because that's such a stupid classic type of plot, and I just want something to happen with the Lombaxes.
I doubt she's an alternate version of Ratchet and I have a theory. The rifts are not only rifts to other dimensions, but to other timelines. I feel like the dimensions Ratchet and the female lombax exist in are the same, but are different timelines. So the rift Clank went through could've sent him back in time to when Ratchet, Alister, and Angelina. Or since the female lombax doesn't know Ratchet, the chronology of the dimension Clank ended up in could've took place before Ratchet was even born.
Maybe it has something to do with The Great Clock or the dimensions being tamper again like in The Nexus. It could possibly take place after events with The Nexus. My bets on The Great Clock cause some of those events Showcase in The Trailer were Reference from the Future Triology Saga. We even got a glimpse of a Haven City like Dimension.
Preferable that it's an all new character on their own, but an AU would be pretty cool. Besides, it's been a looooong time since I've seen an AU plot outside of fanfics.
I'm with you on the third theory that she is just an alternate version of Ratchet from a different dimension, but with Nefarious.. I believe that even though he had a change of heart, it could be a Nefarious from the other dimension that managed to cross over into the original dimension and take over both. So there would be TWO versions of Nefarious, just like Ratchet (which would likely meet up)
For those who are wondering if this is a sequel to the original games....apparently it's not I went to the wiki and if correct, it's stated that It is the sequel to the 2016 video game Ratchet & Clank which if you forgot is a re-imagining of the first game in the series, as well as being based on the 2016 film of the same name by Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment.

The original story just feels too unfinished for a complete reboot. And for me the reboot is mostly a remake which might have been very fun for the developers to just see how they would make it today. Anyways.. I'm sure every fan will love the game in both cases - I even loved the movie someway, though the original plot was muuuch better, but yeah... Everyone just has to love this Lombax, right..? ^^
I have a suspicion that this could be the case as well, but to add on it - if there is a Ratchet & Clank pair who are heroes, a Nefarious with good intentions, another female lombax with strikingly similar attire to Ratchet, etc. Wouldn't it make sense for there to be another lombax/alternate dimension Ratchet that is doing the opposite of the original hero? There could be one more lombax coming, & I think he could be a villain version of Ratchet that everyone is truly looking for & fighting against as he's the one causing disturbances, or just adding onto them. The female lombax is also from another dimension, - where I think she is the hero in - I assume has been on the run for awhile from the good Nefarious. There's different lombax variations of Ratchet, but different names & stories. The different dimensional Nefarious' are there for the distraction, specifically the original one being used by this Alternate/Evil Ratchet for his own personal agenda.
At first I was like "thats girl?! but....she has a tail" then I was like "wait, wait......this is an alternate dimension so my argument is already invalid"
I dont think it's Angela. A crack in time confirmed Angela as a lombax and that female lombaxes dont have tails. This female lombax looking thing clearly has a tail. So either what is she, or what is Angela? I'm really afraid that that Angela is going to get retconned by this.
6:02 In this alternate universe, Clank actually was able to become a larger robot, because in the original Ratchet and Clank, it was shown that they ran out of a lot of parts to make Clank, making him smaller.
I think this new character will work like Blaze, i mean, it's from an alternate dimension and has the same habilities as the protagonist (i mean, Blaze is fast but Sonic doesn't have fire habilities).
I think, for the sense of change, IG is leaving the, female Lombaxs have no tails, Fiasco, behind. =) Besides, I like her. I still do not think, nor consider her to be a alternate version to Ratchet, till IG confirms it, I just don't see it. =P I know like in Marvel & DC comics, they have counterparts, dimensional, alternate, and those who exist within the same continuity, Superman has Super Girl, but they're cousins, Spiderman has Spider Girl, or Spider Woman because there are different versions, and ect. Whether she is though, doesn't really matter to me, I'm still going to enjoy getting to know her as a original character.
Or that because this is clearly a different breed of Lombax! And this breed has tails while the breed ratchet and Angela are the females do not! Consider that there can be different breeds of Lombax!
Yeah but with the whole multiverse thing has been blow out of proportion by marvel and DC how ever if they do something like JoJo part 7 or deltarune I think it's fine
DANCERcow Ratchet has a tail, I have a feeling that they have dropped the “ female has no tail stuff”, mind you the Lombax are an anthropomorphic cat like species and some cats are tailess and some have a Pom Pom like tail. Cannot wait to meet her, wonder what happened to her right arm though.
if that's true.... Then why did Insomniac's official 3D modeler by the name of Xavier confirm that the character is trans meaning biologically it do be a male? It's just 100% known fact that female lombax are taller, dont have tails, have shorter ears, and have breasts, here's a lombax with none of those traits and the official creator of the character 100% confirmed the character is trans yet you have people arguing this tail stuff lmao wut?
Taking a shot and saying it's Alastor's Daughter going off the color palette. this could also serve as an opportunity to bring him back in for an ACTUAL redemption arc lol
i rather hope she is like ratchet maybe a other kind of lombax would be awsome she and ratchet work together and become love interrest like cynder for spyro.
1. If she’s an alternative reality Ractchet, she’s probably playable. She might even use Clank on her back similar to ratchet. 2. Considering the name, ‘Ractchet’ is similar to a wrench. She may be named after a tool similar to a hammer. ‘Latchet’ isn’t a tool ‘Hatchet’ even though it’s not a hammer, is still a tool.
There are a LOT of theories floating around right now: She's an AU version of ratchet, and in her universe, female lombaxes have tails like that She's trans, she just decided to keep her tail after transitioning Or a simple retcon and ignoring of the old lore that female lombaxes don't have tails just because they decided her having a tail would be good for her character design.
@@zaltmanbleroze It is only a theory but if it were true, that is an absurd starement. Some people are trans. Rare, but like, it happens. It's normal. This says nothing about politics. Trans people can be conservative, liberal, anything political. There is nothing inherently political with the existence of a trans character in a piece of media. And it's only a theory. Blind speculation at this point. Relax.
@Metal Sonic The final one seems likely. But there is a surprising ammount of evidence for other theories. Apparently one of the character designers that worked on her was nonbinary. So it's plausible that they wanted to represent themselves a bit in their work.
I don't know who is this female Lombax really is. I don't know what's her name. And I want to know how did escape from Emperor Tachyon's invasion. Did she get left behind by the Lombaxes along with Ratchet, Kaden, Alister Azamuth, and Angela Cross on Planet Fastoon of Polaris Galaxy? Or is she with the Lombaxes to another dimension? And what happened to her arm. And how did she get a bionic arm? What's she been doing? I would love to see her orgin backstory in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart because I have SO many questions about that female Lombax! I've got to see it for myself! Like I said: I've got a LOT of questions about that female Lombax! Because I am so surprised there's another Lombax from another dimension!! I can't believe it! Oh, my gosh!! I am freaking out!! I can't help it!! I'm gonna faint!! I want to learn all about her! 😃😆 I can't wait to get Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PS5 when it'll be released!!! Because I'm Super hyped and very excited!! 😀
Latchet looks like such a badass, I want her to be a playable character so bad,also DAMN YOU INSOMIAC YOU GOT MY LESBIAN HEART BEATING FASTER THAN LIGHTNING!!
A UA-camr noticed something special fact. the female lombax could be named after the hammer that she's holding, just like Ratchet is named after a wrench. The bionic arm can be explained maybe by an big explosion that she lost her arm?
The new female Lombax could be a girl version of Ratchet because in this universe he was born a girl and as for why she has a tail it could be that in this universe both genders have tails but female's have fox like ones ( a reference to Angela's ponytail) and male's have the usual cat like ones.
3:10 Now you mentioning that, it's like I said before, if IG is going that route,(by that a mean, bringing the OG Ratchet and Clank storyline into the Reimagined) we're going to see a crossover of post Nexus and Reimagined. If its not continuing from that, than its, it's own original storyline.
Well as a long time Ratchet and clank fan, the basic constant between all the games is the fact after the first game everybody seems to know Ratchet and clank know him as a hero. The fact that this lombax has never heard of Ratchet insinuates the idea of a alternate reality. Also the fact we have already dabbled with time in the Ratchet and clank Future ark so why do it again?
But the theory still stands is this a continuation after the Nexus or a second game into the reboot series with a new story line. I think it's a reboot story considering Insomniac did say they were done with the old one. That could explain why the female lombax looks different. Plus nefarious was still alive at the end of the reboot and movie so fits in perfectly.
I never saw them say they were done but rather that they weren't sure which one to use. If you check out into the nexus it's the same dimensionator portals, Clank took the broken dimensionator in the last cutscene. So the story theme would line up with continuation of into the nexus than the reboot.
@@TayambaMwanza but I don't remember the dimension portals being purple? If this is with post nexus they should've stuck with the original portal for consistency
They should not only make her playable, but also make it so that if and when the 2 are together, you can just casually switch between the two and they share a weapon pool, and add multiplayer mode where both players can control them.
Honestly, i wish Ratchet and Clank would disconnect itself from it's lore a little. It will be stretching over 3 decades by next gen, which makes it harder for newcomers to jump in. It's like comic books, don't go full comic book. Instead, they should treat it like Mario. Have a general continuity, but have strict lore stuck to individual games or games in a series. I say this as a Ratchet fan, who believes this series can be bigger. Not Mario big, but at the very least bigger than Sonic.
I'm a fan of big continuities like Marvel and such. I'm pretty used to retcons and small errors so I don't mind too much. We shouldn't expect the people making these things to have a 100% in-depth knowledge of the universe they're adding to, especially with franchises that last this long.
I believe the lombax girl is actually from a different subspecies, hence the fluffy tail. Maybe in her dimension, her species became the dominant race and bear the lombax-name instead of Ratchet’s. Also, my theory is that in her dimension, Clank never came to exist and that leads to her dimension’s Nefarious’s success in his universal conquest. That could explain why she has an robotic arm, she lost it during her long unsuccessful campaign against Nefarious.
She's likely to be the "Spide-Gwen" for the Ratchet-verse. Where she's not another ratchet but a new lombax that was left behind instead of ratchet. Or from a alternate universe where the lombaxs never left. Personally I'd prefer the idea of her being a lombax Gwen Stacy analog so they can save some of the lombax related content for future games. Maybe a direct follow up to this new game where you hop realities meeting and teaming up with other ratchets all while trying to hunt down maybe the ratchet from a universe where he becomes the villain after being turned down by the rangers.
I hope the Mysterious New Lombax is a playable character in the New Ratchet and Clank Game Rift Apart, If she were then maybe she could have her own weapons and gadgets, I also wonder if she has/had her own clank like Ratchet did. This game looks awesome.
I have a theory that the rifts are not only rifts to other dimensions or planets, but to other timelines. I think Ratchet and Latchet share the same dimension, but are just in different timelines. So the rift that Clank went through and ended up with Latchet could've sent him back in time when Ratchet, Angela, and Alister were the remaining lombaxes besides Latchet. Or since Latchet doesn't know Ratchet, the time could take place before Ratchet was even born.
I belive she is a Lombax (or something like that) from an alternate universe given all the signs like how she has a tail and her holding a hammer instead of a wrench, which is so symbolic in the Lombax society that they have wrench symbols in there language. Plus its a better story to tell in a game about dimesional travel then reusing the "she's another survivor" story, which they already used on Azimuth somewhat.
I would say she could either be a hybrid of a lombax and another species. Or going by the multiverse theory, female lombaxes of her universe have tails. The second one seems more likely if the multiverse theory is true.
Some peoples on the Insomniac Games's Discord are trying to translate the wanted posters at the back at the end of the trailer and have found some clues who said that her name can be Wicket or Widget but nothing official, just suspicions. But it's still great.
The tail could also be an hybrid thing. I don't know if hybrids are a thing in the Ratchet universe but ppl seems to romance a lot of other races (or flirt at least). I really hope it's Nefarious from an other dimension that attack and not the one that had so many character developement in the past.
I wish it was Angela that popped out the lombax dimension :( Female lombaxes have different physiology than their male counterparts they explain this on the radio in tools of destruction regarding Angela Cross
I'd like it to be a deconstruction of the alternate universe distaff counterpart trope. She has some similarities with Ratchet but is a different person and hasn't met her "Clank" yet. Then in the middle or end of the game she does. The two duos part ways after the finale with her and her new partner mirroring Ratchet and Clank. So in that way she is and isn't another version of him.
Maybe Nefarious is not the bad guy now. Maybe somebody just stole his identity like it happened with Fizzwidget in Going Commando. And I think they could make this twist more natural than in GC.
I guess this is an alternate universe, in which Clank never met up with Ratchet, which caused Nefarious to easily take over "Lachet" may be Ratchet in this universe, but without Clank
Ratchet is named after a type of tool he uses an Omni Wrench seeing that the Female lombax Uses an Omni Hammer and seeing that a Charpenter's Hatchet is considered a hammer... well i can guess what the name is gonna be.
I think the indication of Ratchet and Clank being "Ripped Apart" through a rift portal indicates that the Female Lombax is an alternate reality Ratchet. I thought this was obvious when watching the trailer.
it could be Angela cross from going commando, do a comparison between the 2. *note that this mystery lombaxes tail, does look like angela's hair in going commando,* *eyes do look the same as both have blue eyes,* *the blue symbol on the belt looks similar to angela's blue symbol,* *when paused right, both this lombax and angela have the same blue symbol on their upper chest* *when paused right, the color scheme on the lombaxes suit looks similar to angelas suit in going commando* *boots look a little off, but the same, almost* the only thing that doesn't make this valid, is that the mystery lombaxes fur is blue and the nose is pink
I think she is Alister's daughter from a timeline where Nefarious bioblitedated everything and that her mother was a different species. I'm calling her Hammer.
i neither think that is an alternate version of ratchet, nor that this is the lombax dimention, i think she just got stranded to another dimension (not alternate timeline, that was never talked about, idk why everyone is on about that), one different from ratchet's and the lombaxes
Theory Number 3 isn't fat-fetched at all. It actually makes the most sense. Her designs alone kinda gives it away. Not either of the two Lombax color schemes (gold with brown and white with crimson), her tail is bushy instead of a lion-like tail. At least she still has 5 fingers... It was confirmed by Insomniac that Lombaxes from "our" universe do normally have tails, which means something happened to Angela's tail. And the nod to Angela via the breaking news on the radio in A Crack in Time? Just a way for Insomniac to tie her in to the Future Saga because the fans were justifiably making a fuss about it and the reporter that said female Lombaxes don't have tails doesn't know the first thing about them, so don't take that seriously.
one thing, the 'proof' in a Crack in Time, based on how it's presented to me at least, is more Insomniac going 'I don't know' in regards to fan theories, I heard/read some where (this was years ago, and it could the Wiki, so take as much stock out of this as you want) that Insomniac forget about Angela as character when making TOD. also in TOD of lombaxes are described as 'Tailed ones' in their own writing, which would imply that most of their race have tails, the fact that her Tail is different from Ratchet's could mean that she a different 'race' of Lombaxes compared to Ratchet, rather then she a different version of Ratchet.
Could it be another dimension of space where shes possibly from? Like maybe she was an escapee from the lombax planet that was destroyed? If she is a survivor then maybe there could be other surviving lombaxes in the universe.
Yes, one of the theories that's going around is that the lombax female is an alternate dimension version of Ratchet. I suscribe to this one. I cite her being familiar with Clank. She drops in and does not introduce herself or ask who Clank is. Instead she asks who he's talking to. I suspect that she has mistaken him for her dimension's version of Clank. The fact that, unlike Angela Cross, she is about Ratchet's size and has a tail is circumstantial evidence to the alternate dimension theory as well. This leads to the possibility that her dimension's version of lombaxes have some of the secondary sexual characteristics reversed. The males are larger and tailless. By her dimension's standards, a male that's as short as her and does have a tail would be a femboi. I suspect her inevitable meeting with Ratchet is going to be very interesting...and probably very awkward.
It seems to be confirmed that she is indeed a playable character in the game Also looking at the ps5 event there is actual gameplay shown so I would think that a 2020 or 2021 release should not be unlikely And than we will eventually know what the deal is with this new Lombax !!!
I'm just gonna throw my theory out here but what if this Mysterious Female White Lombax is Angela Cross of the Rebooted Ratchet and Clank Series, it's true that she doesn't look anything like Angela Cross from the Ratchet and Clank Going Commando what with the different Fur Color, hair, height, Tail or lack thereof, but this is a Reboot and sometimes Reboots make a character with the same name look entirely different than they originally did, if I am right then it would be cool to see Angela Cross has returned if in a slightly different appearance and way.
Maybe, though it’s unlikely due to there being so few lombaxes that were left behind, as well as the fact that there is dimensional hopping. It would be a really cool plot twist if she turned out to be Ratchet’s daughter from the future of his dimension. At this point, it is all speculation.
I think she is the Lombax in the Nefarious dimension as in the Ratchet's dimension Female lombaxes have no tails but I'm guessing that one in the Nefarious dimension has a different lore of the lombaxes. Its like this. DBS for example. Universe 7 Sayians gain SSJ2 by sheer training while the ones in universe 6 gain it by a tingling sensation on their necks. Or Sonic for example as the Boom version of Sonic is an ancient but the main one isn't cause it doesn't follow that lore for that dimesnions but choose for the Chaos Emeralds. That is all I have to say. I also hope she is playable as well.
How many nanoseconds did it take for rule 34 to kick in for her? Also, anyone else notice that she has a fox tail, while Ratchet's is more like a lion? Specifically, one of those small lions from the Sunny Villa level of Insomniac's Spyro: Year of The Dragon?
The wanted posters say "game over". And yea I'm pretty sure latchet is an alternate version of ratchet. 1 she has a tool like ratchet (her hammer) and 2: she wears the exact same gloves ratchet does except different colour.
Clank might be in a alternate universe were dn (doctor nafarias) won the fight in the first game or it's ratchets daughter because I think his girlfriend in one of the games looked like that then again I'm possibly wrong but the first theory is vary vallad
Latchet? The Female Lombax should be called Gadget. Makes moresense with the Hammer and robotic Arm. We don't know where she come from but it might be another dimension or the result of a space time paradox.
Thus, ended the discussion about whether the new Lombax character is a female or transgender. Thank you BlueKnight with the confirmation and research, especially the part where you pointed out her tail being different. Though just to be extra careful, let's expect the unexpected.
Angela Cross is a female lombax it's said that female lombaxes don't have tails.... so im weirded out how this new female has a tail.. but now I have a theory what if this new character was a test experiment.. by someone hmm.

Yes
I'm with you on the third theory that she is just an alternate version of Ratchet from a different dimension, but with Nefarious.. I believe that even though he had a change of heart, it could be a Nefarious from the other dimension that managed to cross over into the original dimension and take over both.

Omg insomniac. Angela come out in like 2003, it is 2020 already. Why am I still questioning her existence?
I dont think it's Angela. A crack in time confirmed Angela as a lombax and that female lombaxes dont have tails. This female lombax looking thing clearly has a tail. So either what is she, or what is Angela? I'm really afraid that that Angela is going to get retconned by this.
Maybe they are a cousin species to the Lombaxes?
Maybe in the dimension that she comes from female lombaxes *do* have tails?
6:02 In this alternate universe, Clank actually was able to become a larger robot, because in the original Ratchet and Clank, it was shown that they ran out of a lot of parts to make Clank, making him smaller.
I think this new character will work like Blaze, i mean, it's from an alternate dimension and has the same habilities as the protagonist (i mean, Blaze is fast but Sonic doesn't have fire habilities).
shes absolutely adorable, god bless r34 artists
You know rule 34 😄
bruh
I think, for the sense of change, IG is leaving the, female Lombaxs have no tails, Fiasco, behind. =)
Besides, I like her.
I still do not think, nor consider her to be a alternate version to Ratchet, till IG confirms it, I just don't see it. =P
I know like in Marvel & DC comics, they have counterparts, dimensional, alternate, and those who exist within the same continuity, Superman has Super Girl, but they're cousins,
Spiderman has Spider Girl, or Spider Woman because there are different versions, and ect.
Whether she is though, doesn't really matter to me, I'm still going to enjoy getting to know her as a original character.
Or that because this is clearly a different breed of Lombax! And this breed has tails while the breed ratchet and Angela are the females do not! Consider that there can be different breeds of Lombax!
If there are any humans in the comment section to put it into perspective imagine stepping into a dimension where all the women have beards.
Yeah but with the whole multiverse thing has been blow out of proportion by marvel and DC how ever if they do something like JoJo part 7 or deltarune I think it's fine
DANCERcow Ratchet has a tail, I have a feeling that they have dropped the “ female has no tail stuff”, mind you the Lombax are an anthropomorphic cat like species and some cats are tailess and some have a Pom Pom like tail. Cannot wait to meet her, wonder what happened to her right arm though.
if that's true.... Then why did Insomniac's official 3D modeler by the name of Xavier confirm that the character is trans meaning biologically it do be a male? It's just 100% known fact that female lombax are taller, dont have tails, have shorter ears, and have breasts, here's a lombax with none of those traits and the official creator of the character 100% confirmed the character is trans yet you have people arguing this tail stuff lmao wut?
This could be a mystery female Lombax have tail and looks it with tails I bet she be a good friend
White lombax: *Revealed Two days ago*
Rule 34 artists: "enemy spotted!"
White lombax: "hehe I'm endangered!"
Tbh I dont think it would be endangered for long....
Jarski l
Hundreds of men lined up: “What makes you say that?”
Taking a shot and saying it's Alastor's Daughter going off the color palette. this could also serve as an opportunity to bring him back in for an ACTUAL redemption arc lol
That missing arm IS her robot.... As a A.I computer.
i rather hope she is like ratchet maybe a other kind of lombax would be awsome she and ratchet work together and become love interrest like cynder for spyro.
well since the 2016 ratchet doesn't have a love interest, maybe this new female lombax could be his love interest it would be so cute if it is
Ratchet is already in a happy relationship with Talwyn.
Evomre that isn’t cannon in the 2016 game
What about the part where she sees Clank and says “Hoo?” Did she also lose a Clank like robot the same way Ratchet did?
1. If she’s an alternative reality Ractchet, she’s probably playable. She might even use Clank on her back similar to ratchet.
2. Considering the name, ‘Ractchet’ is similar to a wrench. She may be named after a tool similar to a hammer. ‘Latchet’ isn’t a tool ‘Hatchet’ even though it’s not a hammer, is still a tool.
There are a LOT of theories floating around right now:
She's an AU version of ratchet, and in her universe, female lombaxes have tails like that
She's trans, she just decided to keep her tail after transitioning
Or a simple retcon and ignoring of the old lore that female lombaxes don't have tails just because they decided her having a tail would be good for her character design.
Ugh. Trans.... Yeah no. The other ideas are better
TheKenji2221 What you got against trans peeps?
What is up with the trans theory? No gender politics in games please.
@@zaltmanbleroze It is only a theory but if it were true, that is an absurd starement. Some people are trans. Rare, but like, it happens. It's normal. This says nothing about politics. Trans people can be conservative, liberal, anything political. There is nothing inherently political with the existence of a trans character in a piece of media. And it's only a theory. Blind speculation at this point. Relax.
@Metal Sonic The final one seems likely. But there is a surprising ammount of evidence for other theories. Apparently one of the character designers that worked on her was nonbinary. So it's plausible that they wanted to represent themselves a bit in their work.
If our protagonist is called Ratchet, the female Lombax may be Rachell
I don't know who is this female Lombax really is. I don't know what's her name. And I want to know how did escape from Emperor Tachyon's invasion. Did she get left behind by the Lombaxes along with Ratchet, Kaden, Alister Azamuth, and Angela Cross on Planet Fastoon of Polaris Galaxy? Or is she with the Lombaxes to another dimension?
And what happened to her arm. And how did she get a bionic arm? What's she been doing?
I would love to see her orgin backstory in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart because I have SO many questions about that female Lombax!
I've got to see it for myself! Like I said: I've got a LOT of questions about that female Lombax! Because I am so surprised there's another Lombax from another dimension!! I can't believe it! Oh, my gosh!! I am freaking out!! I can't help it!! I'm gonna faint!! I want to learn all about her! 😃😆
I can't wait to get Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PS5 when it'll be released!!! Because I'm Super hyped and very excited!! 😀
ayyyy i feel u. Same here!!!😁😁😁
A genuine good comment
"female" y'all know the official creator of the character has confirmed that the character is trans right?
Just finished the game. Thank you for keeping me hiped for the game, your videos are great
Latchet looks like such a badass, I want her to be a playable character so bad,also DAMN YOU INSOMIAC YOU GOT MY LESBIAN HEART BEATING FASTER THAN LIGHTNING!!
A UA-camr noticed something special fact. the female lombax could be named after the hammer that she's holding, just like Ratchet is named after a wrench. The bionic arm can be explained maybe by an big explosion that she lost her arm?
Maybe Mallet her name
The new female Lombax could be a girl version of Ratchet because in this universe he was born a girl and as for why she has a tail it could be that in this universe both genders have tails but female's have fox like ones ( a reference to Angela's ponytail) and male's have the usual cat like ones.
3:10 Now you mentioning that, it's like I said before, if IG is going that route,(by that a mean, bringing the OG Ratchet and Clank storyline into the Reimagined) we're going to see a crossover of post Nexus and Reimagined.
If its not continuing from that, than its, it's own original storyline.
Considering that nefarious is back being evil, I think it’s continuing the new 2016 timeline
Maybe she is ratchet big sister
Ratchet is an only child.
Or his freinds
I think she is the alternate reality female version of Ratchet.
Well as a long time Ratchet and clank fan, the basic constant between all the games is the fact after the first game everybody seems to know Ratchet and clank know him as a hero. The fact that this lombax has never heard of Ratchet insinuates the idea of a alternate reality. Also the fact we have already dabbled with time in the Ratchet and clank Future ark so why do it again?
Thats the dimension of the lombaxes. Ratchet finally can see his father
R34 Artists: Ok, she has just 2 seconds on the screen, but is enough to start to work
Lombaxes are known to wield wrenches as their weapon of choice. She got a hammer and a way different color pallet.
But the theory still stands is this a continuation after the Nexus or a second game into the reboot series with a new story line. I think it's a reboot story considering Insomniac did say they were done with the old one. That could explain why the female lombax looks different. Plus nefarious was still alive at the end of the reboot and movie so fits in perfectly.
I never saw them say they were done but rather that they weren't sure which one to use.
If you check out into the nexus it's the same dimensionator portals, Clank took the broken dimensionator in the last cutscene. So the story theme would line up with continuation of into the nexus than the reboot.
@@TayambaMwanza but I don't remember the dimension portals being purple? If this is with post nexus they should've stuck with the original portal for consistency
Christian Fleitas All the Nether weapons are purple coloured.
They should not only make her playable, but also make it so that if and when the 2 are together, you can just casually switch between the two and they share a weapon pool, and add multiplayer mode where both players can control them.
Imagine playing as the female lombax with Clank, that's new gameplay to me
hello isekai they confirmed that she is playable
Not sure but maybe it's a lombax from a different universe... What makes me think that is that this female lombax seems to know Clank.
Honestly, i wish Ratchet and Clank would disconnect itself from it's lore a little. It will be stretching over 3 decades by next gen, which makes it harder for newcomers to jump in. It's like comic books, don't go full comic book.
Instead, they should treat it like Mario. Have a general continuity, but have strict lore stuck to individual games or games in a series.
I say this as a Ratchet fan, who believes this series can be bigger. Not Mario big, but at the very least bigger than Sonic.
I'm a fan of big continuities like Marvel and such. I'm pretty used to retcons and small errors so I don't mind too much. We shouldn't expect the people making these things to have a 100% in-depth knowledge of the universe they're adding to, especially with franchises that last this long.
No, that’s just ridiculous.
I believe the lombax girl is actually from a different subspecies, hence the fluffy tail. Maybe in her dimension, her species became the dominant race and bear the lombax-name instead of Ratchet’s.
Also, my theory is that in her dimension, Clank never came to exist and that leads to her dimension’s Nefarious’s success in his universal conquest. That could explain why she has an robotic arm, she lost it during her long unsuccessful campaign against Nefarious.
She's likely to be the "Spide-Gwen" for the Ratchet-verse. Where she's not another ratchet but a new lombax that was left behind instead of ratchet. Or from a alternate universe where the lombaxs never left. Personally I'd prefer the idea of her being a lombax Gwen Stacy analog so they can save some of the lombax related content for future games. Maybe a direct follow up to this new game where you hop realities meeting and teaming up with other ratchets all while trying to hunt down maybe the ratchet from a universe where he becomes the villain after being turned down by the rangers.
She could also be Ratchet's doppelganger from a parallel dimension.
I think she may be Ratchet's alternate universe counterpart, imo.
I hope the Mysterious New Lombax is a playable character in the New Ratchet and Clank Game Rift Apart, If she were then maybe she could have her own weapons and gadgets, I also wonder if she has/had her own clank like Ratchet did. This game looks awesome.
Awesome video bluekinght
People: so what turned you into a furry?
Me: my childhood
People: huh?
Me: **shows video**
I have a theory that the rifts are not only rifts to other dimensions or planets, but to other timelines. I think Ratchet and Latchet share the same dimension, but are just in different timelines. So the rift that Clank went through and ended up with Latchet could've sent him back in time when Ratchet, Angela, and Alister were the remaining lombaxes besides Latchet. Or since Latchet doesn't know Ratchet, the time could take place before Ratchet was even born.
I belive she is a Lombax (or something like that) from an alternate universe given all the signs like how she has a tail and her holding a hammer instead of a wrench, which is so symbolic in the Lombax society that they have wrench symbols in there language.
Plus its a better story to tell in a game about dimesional travel then reusing the "she's another survivor" story, which they already used on Azimuth somewhat.
I would say she could either be a hybrid of a lombax and another species. Or going by the multiverse theory, female lombaxes of her universe have tails. The second one seems more likely if the multiverse theory is true.
Flash: Nobody....I said NOBODY can surpass my ultimate speed.
Rule 34: Hold my beer and just watch
Some peoples on the Insomniac Games's Discord are trying to translate the wanted posters at the back at the end of the trailer and have found some clues who said that her name can be Wicket or Widget but nothing official, just suspicions. But it's still great.
The tail could also be an hybrid thing. I don't know if hybrids are a thing in the Ratchet universe but ppl seems to romance a lot of other races (or flirt at least).
I really hope it's Nefarious from an other dimension that attack and not the one that had so many character developement in the past.
Here we, here we go!
Vi, then you?
This information is getting greater and Greater!
That's funny, Vi said the same thing. 5:33
I wish it was Angela that popped out the lombax dimension :(
Female lombaxes have different physiology than their male counterparts they explain this on the radio in tools of destruction regarding Angela Cross
I'd like it to be a deconstruction of the alternate universe distaff counterpart trope. She has some similarities with Ratchet but is a different person and hasn't met her "Clank" yet. Then in the middle or end of the game she does. The two duos part ways after the finale with her and her new partner mirroring Ratchet and Clank. So in that way she is and isn't another version of him.
Maybe Nefarious is not the bad guy now. Maybe somebody just stole his identity like it happened with Fizzwidget in Going Commando. And I think they could make this twist more natural than in GC.
If Rift Apart is a sequel to the reboot, could she be a rebooted Angela??? 😱😱😱
I guess this is an alternate universe, in which Clank never met up with Ratchet, which caused Nefarious to easily take over
"Lachet" may be Ratchet in this universe, but without Clank
Ratchet is named after a type of tool he uses an Omni Wrench
seeing that the Female lombax Uses an Omni Hammer and seeing that a Charpenter's Hatchet is considered a hammer... well i can guess what the name is gonna be.
I think the indication of Ratchet and Clank being "Ripped Apart" through a rift portal indicates that the Female Lombax is an alternate reality Ratchet. I thought this was obvious when watching the trailer.
it could be Angela cross from going commando, do a comparison between the 2.
*note that this mystery lombaxes tail, does look like angela's hair in going commando,*
*eyes do look the same as both have blue eyes,*
*the blue symbol on the belt looks similar to angela's blue symbol,*
*when paused right, both this lombax and angela have the same blue symbol on their upper chest*
*when paused right, the color scheme on the lombaxes suit looks similar to angelas suit in going commando*
*boots look a little off, but the same, almost*
the only thing that doesn't make this valid, is that the mystery lombaxes fur is blue and the nose is pink
But then it's also confirmed Talwyn 's mother is a lombax max apogee is a markizin? So Talwyn is only half lombax in her blood.
I think she is Alister's daughter from a timeline where Nefarious bioblitedated everything and that her mother was a different species. I'm calling her Hammer.
i neither think that is an alternate version of ratchet, nor that this is the lombax dimention, i think she just got stranded to another dimension (not alternate timeline, that was never talked about, idk why everyone is on about that), one different from ratchet's and the lombaxes
Theory Number 3 isn't fat-fetched at all. It actually makes the most sense. Her designs alone kinda gives it away. Not either of the two Lombax color schemes (gold with brown and white with crimson), her tail is bushy instead of a lion-like tail. At least she still has 5 fingers...
It was confirmed by Insomniac that Lombaxes from "our" universe do normally have tails, which means something happened to Angela's tail. And the nod to Angela via the breaking news on the radio in A Crack in Time? Just a way for Insomniac to tie her in to the Future Saga because the fans were justifiably making a fuss about it and the reporter that said female Lombaxes don't have tails doesn't know the first thing about them, so don't take that seriously.
It could be both because that main badguy in tools of destruction had a dimension ater right I forgot what its called? I'm not the best with theory.
"This tail is similar to another certain PlayStation mascot- *Shows Sly Cooper.* "
Don't do that. Don't give me hope. :(
Rule34: d r a w
Insomniac with Rift Apart Prototype: THIS BIT EMPTY. YEET!
Rift Apart is cancelled.
Why do I feel like her name would be Lily
I would say mallet
one thing, the 'proof' in a Crack in Time, based on how it's presented to me at least, is more Insomniac going 'I don't know' in regards to fan theories, I heard/read some where (this was years ago, and it could the Wiki, so take as much stock out of this as you want) that Insomniac forget about Angela as character when making TOD.
also in TOD of lombaxes are described as 'Tailed ones' in their own writing, which would imply that most of their race have tails,
the fact that her Tail is different from Ratchet's could mean that she a different 'race' of Lombaxes compared to Ratchet, rather then she a different version of Ratchet.
I was thinking her name could be Mallet or Gavel if they stick to naming her based off her weapon like Ratchet is
She looking type fine tho 👀
Could it be another dimension of space where shes possibly from? Like maybe she was an escapee from the lombax planet that was destroyed? If she is a survivor then maybe there could be other surviving lombaxes in the universe.
Honestly for years i said they need a female lombax for ratchet,he cant be the only one of his kind
Yes, one of the theories that's going around is that the lombax female is an alternate dimension version of Ratchet. I suscribe to this one. I cite her being familiar with Clank. She drops in and does not introduce herself or ask who Clank is. Instead she asks who he's talking to. I suspect that she has mistaken him for her dimension's version of Clank.
The fact that, unlike Angela Cross, she is about Ratchet's size and has a tail is circumstantial evidence to the alternate dimension theory as well. This leads to the possibility that her dimension's version of lombaxes have some of the secondary sexual characteristics reversed. The males are larger and tailless. By her dimension's standards, a male that's as short as her and does have a tail would be a femboi. I suspect her inevitable meeting with Ratchet is going to be very interesting...and probably very awkward.
Finally the guy who has a answer for my question who is the mysterious lombax
It seems to be confirmed that she is indeed a playable character in the game
Also looking at the ps5 event there is actual gameplay shown so I would think that a 2020 or 2021 release should not be unlikely
And than we will eventually know what the deal is with this new Lombax !!!
She is Ratchet's girlfriend😁
Some people think it's Sloane
I'm just gonna throw my theory out here but what if this Mysterious Female White Lombax is Angela Cross of the Rebooted Ratchet and Clank Series, it's true that she doesn't look anything like Angela Cross from the Ratchet and Clank Going Commando what with the different Fur Color, hair, height, Tail or lack thereof, but this is a Reboot and sometimes Reboots make a character with the same name look entirely different than they originally did, if I am right then it would be cool to see Angela Cross has returned if in a slightly different appearance and way.
Latchet sounds wonderful and awesome 👏 name for her
Latchet is amazing!
After hearing the third theory....
multiverse... multiverse.... MULTIVERSE!!! CROSSOVER!!! COME ON SONY!!! DO IT NOW!!!
My theory is that she could possibly be Ratchet’s Descendent.
Maybe, though it’s unlikely due to there being so few lombaxes that were left behind, as well as the fact that there is dimensional hopping. It would be a really cool plot twist if she turned out to be Ratchet’s daughter from the future of his dimension. At this point, it is all speculation.
I think she is the Lombax in the Nefarious dimension as in the Ratchet's dimension Female lombaxes have no tails but I'm guessing that one in the Nefarious dimension has a different lore of the lombaxes.
Its like this. DBS for example. Universe 7 Sayians gain SSJ2 by sheer training while the ones in universe 6 gain it by a tingling sensation on their necks. Or Sonic for example as the Boom version of Sonic is an ancient but the main one isn't cause it doesn't follow that lore for that dimesnions but choose for the Chaos Emeralds.
That is all I have to say. I also hope she is playable as well.
How many nanoseconds did it take for rule 34 to kick in for her?
Also, anyone else notice that she has a fox tail, while Ratchet's is more like a lion? Specifically, one of those small lions from the Sunny Villa level of Insomniac's Spyro: Year of The Dragon?
The wanted posters say "game over".
And yea I'm pretty sure latchet is an alternate version of ratchet. 1 she has a tool like ratchet (her hammer) and 2: she wears the exact same gloves ratchet does except different colour.
Clank might be in a alternate universe were dn (doctor nafarias) won the fight in the first game or it's ratchets daughter because I think his girlfriend in one of the games looked like that then again I'm possibly wrong but the first theory is vary vallad
Latchet? The Female Lombax should be called Gadget. Makes moresense with the Hammer and robotic Arm. We don't know where she come from but it might be another dimension or the result of a space time paradox.
Thus, ended the discussion about whether the new Lombax character is a female or transgender. Thank you BlueKnight with the confirmation and research, especially the part where you pointed out her tail being different. Though just to be extra careful, let's expect the unexpected.
Angela Cross is a female lombax it's said that female lombaxes don't have tails.... so im weirded out how this new female has a tail.. but now I have a theory what if this new character was a test experiment.. by someone hmm.
Maybe she's alistars girl🤔
Maybe Angela lost her tail in a flight, like it got cut or blasted off.
Edit Its Rivet
I hope we still play as Ratchet
There's A 4chan rumour said that female lombax name called Rachell
maybe she is Ratchet's Long Lost Sister or Another Lombax her name is Gidget Or Mallet
