1. Introduction
**********************************************************************
I am MysticWeirdo also known by my real name Warren Grieder.
Robots based on an upcoming (at the time of this writing) movie of the
same name. You'll take on the roll of Rodney Copperbottom, a young
robot with a talent for invention. You'll be accompanied on you
advent by the Wonderbot a robot you'll construct in the first chapter
of the game.
I played this game on the XBox, but this guide should be helpful
for the Gamecube, PS2, and PC versions as well. There are also
version available for the DS and GBA but I imagine those with be
significantly different.

5.6.1 Rematch
-------------
The first thing you should to is talk to the yellow girls bought who
says she's been practicing and wants a rematch.
This race is virtually identical to the first on against her. Its a
three lap race on the same track. The only this that makes it more
difficult is that there is only a single full heal available so you'll
need to be more careful in avoiding the other pod and oil patches that
can damage you.
Otherwise use the same tips as before:
-take the corners on the inside
-use you turbo burst judiciously (the turbo slowly recharges)
-hit the glowing acceleration strips
-avoid the oil patches, they'll slow you down and damage you
-avoid running into the other pod, you suffer damage when you do.
-grab the full heal if you've taken a lot of damage, i.e. down to 1 or
2 hit points. Try to save it for lap 2 or 3.
You'll get [*Wonderbot Trick Chip #9*] as a reward of winning.
---------------------------
5.6.2 Magnogrip Construction
---------------------------
Exit Jacks store to start the special race to gather the Magnobeam
blueprints.
You can be damaged by running into other pods or the oil on the track.
Use your turbo in the longer gaps between scrap lines or if you're
lined up with a blueprint piece to save some time.
The are sixteen pieces to collect. There locations are indicated by
the white dots on the map on the HUD. All of the blueprints and some
full heals are located in the lines of scrap on the main track:
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #1*] is on the left side of the 1st line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #2*] is in the middle of the 3rd line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #3*] is the last in the 5th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #4*] is in the middle of the 6th line which also
has a full heal on the left. Watch out for the oil path on the left
side of the track just past here.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #5*] is the last in the 7th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #6*] is on the right of the 8th line which also
has a full heal on the left.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #7*] is the second from the left in the 9th
line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #8*] is on the left of the 10th line which also
has a full heal 2nd from the right.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #9*] is on the left of the 11th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #10*] is on the left of the 13th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #11*] is on the left of the 14th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #12*] is on the left of the 15th line at the
fork which also has a full heal in the middle. Backtrack to the left
fork after getting these.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #13*] is in the middle of the 17th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #14*] is in the middle of the 18th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #15*] is in the middle of the 20th line.
[*Magnogrip Blueprint #16*] is on the right side of the 22nd line.
There's only 20 seconds on the clock but each blueprint you pick up
added 3 seconds so there is more than enough time to get them all.
Jack will give you the Magnogrip upgrade and will tell you it works
when you jump under a metallic ceiling.

NOTE: Use your turbo to destroy any enemies encountered in the sewer.
You encounter a brute bot just inside the tunnel. After destroying it
follow the tunnel until it emerges onto a small ledge at the south end
of a large room.
Drop to the floor of the room and destroy the 2 brute bots and the
flame thrower. [*Spare Part #6*] is in a tube on the east side and
[*Spare Part #7*] is under a ledge in the Northwest corner. The
vending machine here has the same selection as the one in the hub.
Head up the ramp to the south to get back to the room entrance. Go
down the path leading north from the ledge using turbo near the end
and jumping to the left to get to a ledge where you'll find [*Spare

Go up the track to the south to get [*Spare Part #11*]. Use turbo to
get over the gap further south.
Turn west and follow the track as it turns north through [*Spare Part
#12*] and [*Spare Part #13*].
The trace turns west and will drop you into the east side of a large
round room with an acid pool in the center. Destroy the 3 brute bots
and the 3 flamethrowers around the perimeter.
There are full heals here if you need them. There's also a vending

Use one of the ramps around the room to get on the fan blades and ride
them to get [*Wonderbot Trick Chip #11]. (If you miss and end up in
the acid try to get out quickly.) A full heal can be obtained on the
fan blades as well.
The are four spare parts in cages you'll need to come back for later.
Take the lift at the north end. Head counterclockwise around the
perimeter. You'll run across a switch that lifts one of the cages
over the spare parts below. Continue counter clockwise under the path
dead ends at [*Spare Part #14*].
Return to the lift and go clockwise this time. You'll roll across
another switch lifting a second cage. Continue clockwise going across
a red crosspiece to get around some pipes that block your way. These
pipe also serve as a hiding place for [*Spare Part #15*].
Continue clockwise to get to a switch tat lifts a third cage and get
[*Spare Part #16*] just beside it. Continue clockwise past the
southern lift to [*Spare Part #17*] and hit the forth switch to lift
the final cage.
Head down the nearest path to the center ring and go around clockwise
to get [*Spare Part #18*], [*Spare Part #19*], [*Spare Part #20*], and
[*Spare Part #21*].
Drop down to the bottom at get [*Spare Part #22*], [*Spare Part #23*],
[*Spare Part #24*], and [*Spare Part #25*] now that the cages over
them have been lifted.
Go back to the northern lift and make your way back to the southern
lift.
Take it up to a tube with [*Spare Part #26*] at the opening. Follow
the tube as it snakes to the south east returning you to the sewer
hub through door "c".
-----------
4.3 Door #2
-----------
Follow the tat to a flame jet. Go by it while it's off. (If you've
mistimed it take the left track down to a full heal.) Take the right
track.
At the next junction take the left track and turbo into the wall pad
at the end. (If the track ends at a gap instead of a wallpad you
missed the junction.) This rotates a track segment at a crossroads
further on. Backtrack to the previous junction and take the other
path.
[*Spare Part #27*] is over the track segment that was just turned into
place. Take the next junction on the right and go down the track to
the left at the following junctions. Roll over the switch at the
bottom of the track to lift a barricade.
Go back up the ramp and continue on going right at the next junction
past where the barricade was. Jump over a gap to get [*Spare Part #
28*] and continue avoiding the flame. Turbo into the wallpad at the
end of the line which returns the track segment at the crossroads to
its original position.
Get back to the previous junction and take the left track this time.
You'll get [*Spare Part #29*] as the path turns right.
Avoid the flames as the path drops. The path turns right again and
you'll find [*Spare Part #30*] and [*Spare Part #31*] over dips so
you'll need to jump to get them.
The path turns right again. You'll find [*Spare Part #32*] over a gap
a short distance later, use turbo and jump to get it. (If you don't
clear the gap. hit the switch below and ride the updraft of the fan it
starts to get the spare part and get back on the track.)
Continue along as the track turns right at the crossroads. Take the
left trace at the next junction to get [*Spare Part #33*] and
backtrack to the right branch.
Take the next right to get [*Spare Part #34*] and backtrack to go
left.
Avoid the flames at the u-turn and again as the path turns left to
[*Spare Part #35*]. Continue following the tracks to [*Spare Part #
36*] at the entrance to a large room.
You'll end up in the rooms center. Only the eastern path isn't
blocked. Follow it to the wall and turn right. [*Spare Part #37*]
is at a junction.
[*Spare Part #38*] is on the right path from the junction at a
dead end. After getting it retreat to the junction and take the other
path.
Hit the switch to move party of the path closer to you. Get on it and
ride it to the other side.
The path north to the center is currently blocks so follow the path
that corkscrews downward to a switch. Rolling over this switch lows
the pistons blocking the other paths from the center. go back up the
path to the center.
Take the western path. Turbo across the rotating path when its in
the safe position. Go to the wall for a full heal and get [*Spare
Part #39*] on a dead end path to the left.
Backtrack to a spur that leads north through [*Spare Part #40*] to a
switch that opens the area exit.
Go back to the center and take the north path. (Again you'll need to
turbo over a rotating path when its safe.)
[*Spare Part #41*] is at the end of the path by the wall. Don't go up
here yet, instead backtrack to a path going east and get [*Spare Part
#42*]. Now go up the corkscrew path. Take a dead end path to the
right
for [*Spare Part #43*] and another to the left to get [*Spare Part
#44*]. The next dead end path to the right leads to a vending machine
with the same selection as the second one behind "Door #1".
Go through the area exit and follow the tunnel back to the hub,
emerging through "door b".
----------
4.4 Door #3
-----------
Follow the tube to a track in a room with a lot of flame jets.
Jump over the lift gap to the east to get [*Spare Part #45*]. Go back
to the lift and ride in down. Get [*Spare Part #46*]from the outer
end of the lower path and turbo into the wall pad at the inner end to
open the upper path inward.
Ride the lift back up and go long the new open path. Avoid the flames
after the U-turn and go by the lift to get [*Spare Part #47*].
Ride the lift down at head in the direction of the exit (away from the
u-turn) to get [*Spare Part #48*]. Turbo into the wall pad to partial
open the path above.
Reverse directions and go past the lift and flames to [*Spare Part
#49*] at the U-turn. Continue through a full heal to [*Spare Part
#50*] and turbo into the wall pad to finish opening the path to the
exit.
Go back to the lift, minding the flames just before it, and ride it up
to the upper track. Continue towards the exit. Take the lift before
the exit down to get [*Spare Part #51*] and [*Spare Part #52*] from
the ends of the lower track.
Go back up the lift and follow the exit tunnel back to the hub through

sewer. Jack's inventory has changed again:

Pick up [*Wonderbot Trick Chip #12] in Jack's back room.
Leave Jack's to begin the showdown.
You'll be facing off against the Maintenance bot across a river of
acid. Each of you has 5 pump guns to fire at the other. The
Maintenance Bots' guns will sometimes fire dogbots so be prepared to
beat them off with your wrench. You also need to avoid the damaging
acid with it splashes. Stepping in an acid puddle slow you down but
doesn't hurt.
You fire your guns by hitting them with you wrench. Pressure will
build up for a couple of seconds and a shot will fire.
The trick to hitting the maintenance bot is anticipating where it will
be. You can try to get a cheep hit it when its charging its pump.
Stand by the second pump from the right and hit it a half second after
you head the first crank of the pumps being charged. If the bot goes
for the second pump from the right first it will get hit.
If you don't get the cheap hit in, wait as the maintenance bot fire
four shots. Avoid the acid and deal with the dog bots as its does so.
Hit the pump across from the remaining pump as it heads towards it.
It will get hit either as its firing or beating its chest afterward.
Hit it 10 times to defeat it.
Afterwards, back in Jack's, you'll receive a full load on 10
scramblers from Jack.

There's a "chair" south of the vending machine that will take you into
jumping range of some scrap.
In the northern part of the room are three Guard Dogbots, one
patrolling each of the east, west and north sides. There a security
bot by the exit to the west and a second on the center stage. Deal
with all the enemies.
After dealing with the security bot on the center stage you can shoot
the large homing missile launch on a platform to the northeast from
the center stage.
Besides the exits to the east and west, the only thing of interest is
the combination lock. This consists of four touch pads which have
four settings each. You can try brute forcing the combo (there's only
256 combinations) or your can explore the level in search of it.
(If you do brute force it, wander into the western room briefly to get
the Wonderbot Trick.)
The most efficient way to brute force, if we label to the buttons ABCD
from left to right is to repeat the following sequence up to 4 times
to hit all of the combinations in the minimal number of changes (255
as the final D will return you to the first combination). You'll hit
the combination before you've tried them all.

machine an use the fourth tinker switch. Go to the southeast corner
and use the final tinkerswitch.
This activates a display with the combination on it.
heidism on the IGN boards noted an easier way to get on the conveyor:
--
Next to the machine there is a round platform, if you turn the
tinkerswitch nearest to the entrance, it makes this platform go up
and down. If you jump onto the can and then onto the machine, you can
jump onto the round platform next to the higher part of the machine.
This platform goes up high enough so that you can glide to the ledge
against the opposite wall easily.
--
With the above note from heidism in mind, instead of using the order
of the tinkerswitches above, I'd use this order: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 1st,
and 2nd. Numbering is according to the ordered mentioned above, you
may need to make two attempts due to the bazooka bot, or just kill it,
wait for time to expires and then do the switches in my original
order.
(It takes less time to brute force the combination.)

the "Diversion" sign as the course transitions into a construction
area.

stretches of oil in the center, there a full heal in on of these
lines.
You'll want to take the longer right fork however, There will be a

5.12 Ratchet Showdown
=====================
------------------------
5.12.1 Ratchet's Machine
------------------------
It's time for the final showdown. It the spirit of fair play you'll
be force to stand in one spot and given you scrap launcher as the only
weapon choice. It does have infinite ammo though.
You're facing Ratchet's machine, a large monstrosity consisting of
five portals that will spew out waves of enemies that you've faced
previously. Shoot them as they approach. Shoot full heals to heal
yourself when they appear. Continue doing this until you hear a horn.
On hearing the horn, immediately aim to the top of the machine and
look for a blue light above one of the portals. Shoot it until it
turns red.
Repeat this until you've shot the lights above all five portals.
--------------
5.12.2 Ratchet
--------------
Now it's time to deal with Ratchet himself. Aim for the top of the
machine, Ratchet will by moving between the portals. When Ratchet
stops over one of the portals open fire on him to hit him.
If you hear him say "Coming at you", "Fix That", or a similar taunt
he's going to throw a bomb at you. Shoot it down before it hit.
There will still be enemies running along the floor at you, but it you
keep Ratchet in your sights they won't have enough time to take you
down before Ratchet has been finished off.
Once Ratchet has been hit five time the game is complete.
Save a final time when prompted and watch the credits.
**********************************************************************
6. Enemies
**********************************************************************
There's are the names I've chosen to call the enemies in the game.
I've including a brief strategy for them. For the most part the
wrench is likely the weapon of choice since it doesn't consume you're
spending money.
I also highly recommend the Megashot upgrade. It can take out the
brutes with a single shot.
Once you acquire the Magnobeam its capable of lifting more enemies off
the ground and dropping them to destroy them.
The electro shot is capable of taking out most enemies with a short
burst. Quicker and more energy efficient than the magnobeam.
Dogbot
------
This canine robot has a nasty bite. It falls quickly to three hits
from the wrench.
Security Bots
-------------
Watch out for these bots spinning attacks. There's a window of
opportunity after there spin to hit them 4 times with the wrench to
destroy them.
Buzz Saw bots
------------
This small bot can take a slice out of you which its blade if
it gets to close, but falls quickly to three wrench hits.
Missile Launcher
----------------
This stationary target launches a missile that can be easily side
stepped. After it fires there's sufficient time to close with it and
hit it three times with the wrench to take it down before it
recharges.
Brute Bots
----------
These larger bipedal bots like to slam their fists into the ground, be
at distance when they do so, and the charge them for 5 wrench hits to
destroy them.
Spiked Top Bot
--------------
The spikes on this bots domed head can hurt on contact. 3 wrench hits
at required.
Shield and Gun Bots
-------------------
There bots fire projectiles at you. The shield protects them from
frontal attacks so get behind them and hit them four time with the
wrench.
Top Bot
-------
The wrench is not recommended for this bot, while it will go down with
three hits you'll get hurt as well.
Instead try to stand somewhere safe and snipe them with the scrap
launcher. You'll need to lead them a bit. Three hits from a normal
launcher or a single megashot with take them out.
If you do find yourself in close quarters with them, rapid fire from
the scrap launcher (don't aim) can be effective.
Fish Bot
--------
These bots leap in and out of acid. Ignore them they're harmless.
(I tried firing megashots at them but either I was missing or they
can't be destroyed.)
Dozer Bot
---------
This small bulldozer is invulnerable to frontal attacks. Get behind
them after they charge and attack them 3 times with the wrench.
These bots seem to be immune to scrap launcher fire, except during
their appearance in Ratchet Showdown.
Drill Bot
---------
These drill headed bots can hurt you if you get to close but fall
quickly to 4 wrench hits.
Spiked Bumper Car
-----------------
Don't get to close to this bot that's surrounded by pointed spiked.
Shoot it from a distance with the scrap launcher or mangobeam.
Mobile Missile Launcher
-----------------------
Avoid this small robots missiles and close with it to take it out with
your wrench, three hits will be enough. Be careful, it also has a
melee attack.
Large Security Bot
------------------
This large round robot attacks with its clawed hands. After it
attacks move it with the wrench and hit it 4 times.
This bot is immune to the magnobeam.
Homing Missile Launcher
-----------------------
This bot looks like the large security bot but its fixed in place.
Keep moving when it fires to outrun the missiles that turn towards
you. Hit it 6 times with the wrench while it recharges.
This bot is immune to the magnobeam and the electro shot.
Bazooka Bot
-----------
This bot carry a big gun and will launch a missile at you if you're it
range. The first ones you encounter are across trenches and will need
to be shot. Wait for their shot to miss before returning fire.
Spiked Bottom Bot
-----------------
This large bot has some rather point spikes on the bottom. As these
land mines explode on contact it's best to shoot them from a distance.
When in a transport bot try to avoid them or take your lumps.
Guard Dogbot
------------
A black version of the regular dogbot. Otherwise they're the same.
Round Robots
------------
When with bots emerge from there iris there can be stomp on. The long
necked variety may also toss bombs.
Frogbots
--------
A bipedal bot with a frog's head. They have a whipping attack after
with they're vulnerable to 4 wrench hits.
Claw and Shield Bots
--------------------
Watch out for the serrated edge on the shield which allows it to be
used as a second weapon. 4 wrench hits are enough.
Cannons
-------
Shoot these quickly with the scrap launcher when they're taking aim.
They're less vulnerable to projectiles in the upright position.
If you can get close to them, they'll fall to three wrench hit
regardless of the position they're in.
This bot is immune to the magnobeam.
Flamethrowers
------------
These bots shoot fire out there mouth. You'll first encounter them
while operating a transport pod, so try to hit them from behind. If
that's not possible, hit them quickly to minimize damage.
Insane Sewer Maintenance Bot
----------------------------
This boss is brought down by being hit 10 times with acid.
Gun and Shield Bot Mark II
--------------------------
Much to same as its small cousin. The shield is spiked and can be
used as a weapon at close quarters. 5 hits with the wrench will bring
these down.
Cannon Mark II
--------------
This upgraded cannon shoot multiple projectiles at a variety of
angles. It's more vulnerable to return fire than the earlier model.
This bot is immune to the magnobeam and the electro shot.
Grenade Lobber
--------------
This bipedal robot lobs multiple explosive grenades in you direction,
it's lob can reach significantly higher levels than the one its on so
be careful. Return fire between its volleys to take it out.
Electrocutors
-------------
There behemoth shoot electricity out the front a fair distances. Best
dealt with from afar. If you find you self at close quarters quickly
take them out with 6 wrench hits.
Ratchet Machine
---------------
A large machine spewing out waves of enemies. Shoot the five light
above the portals when they are blue.
Ratchet
-------
The final boss. Shoot him five times while shooting down the bombs he
throws at you.
