* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Dr. Nefarious lays into [[spoiler:Qwark]] during his MotiveRant.
-->'''Dr. Nefarious:''' Day after day, I slaved away creating all the weapons and devices that made you look like a hero! But you're not a hero! You're not even a good villain! You're the galaxy's biggest joke!

Removed per cleanup.


* AnAesop: As Grim said it himself, "To be a hero, you don't need to do great things, just the right ones". This helps for Ratchet's character arc.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* CoDragons: Both Victor von Ion and Dr. Nefarious act as this to Chairman Drek. Victor is Drek's go-to guy for destructive operations, general ass-kicking [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and cellphone eating.]] Nefarious, meanwhile, is his chief scientist and responsible for building his robots and weapons, including the Deplanetizer.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: This is based on [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 the first game (released in 2002)]], but it also includes Dr. Nefarious and the Galactic Rangers even though they weren't introduced until 2004's ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal''.

The former is a bit more justified
** A large number of characters, weapons, and alien species that were introduced in later installments of the games make minor apperances here as well, such as [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus Neftin Prog]] and the [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime Fongoids]].

Added example(s), general clean-up, removed "continuity nod" as it is its own continuity


[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016 A game]] was released on the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 4}} as a tie-in with the film, leading people to believe that the film is a reboot of the franchise, though the developers insist that it's a re-imagining rather than a true reboot.

* AdaptationNameChange: Not for a character, but a location -- For unknown reasons, Kerwan's capital city of Metropolis was renamed to Aleero City in both the film and its tie-in game.



* ContinuityNod: A huge number of them, referencing over a decade of material:
** [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus Neftin Prog]] is name-dropped by Qwark as a past foe, with his mugshot being displayed on-screen.
** [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal President Phyronix]] is shown pictured during a news broadcast announcing that the Galactic Rangers are recruiting.
** [[VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked Dallas (sans the awful toupée) and Juanita]] are shown working as comparatively civil newscasters on Kerwan.
** A large number of weapons from throughout the series appear, such as the [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Negotiator]], [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime Constructo Pistol, and Spiral of Doom]].



* InternalHomage: Two of the film's [[https://imgur.com/a/79AmTsv early posters]] had the main duo posed in the exact same way that they were on the [[ComicBook/RatchetAndClankComic 2010 comic miniseries]]' first issue.



** A few characters from the series make cameos, including [[VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked Dallas and Juanita]] and [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus Neftin Prog]].

Adding some proper indentation.


* AdaptationalWimp: In the games, Ratchet was an InstantExpert in the dozens of weapons he would acquire. Here it takes him longer to get the hang of using them.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Part of Drek's plan is to [[spoiler:have Qwark covertly disable the weapons systems of the Rangers' mothership. This is exactly what Elaris has Ratchet and Clank do when they infiltrate the Deplanetizer]].

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:Dr. Nefarious turns Drek into a sheep with the Sheepinator as part of backstabbing him. The effects are temporary, as Drek returns to normal after crash landing on New Quartu--only for the planet to get vaporized by the Deplanetizer shooting it.]]

* EmergencyTransformation: TheStinger reveals [[spoiler:that Dr. Nefarious barely survived at the end. A repairbot discovered him badly damaged and "repaired" him, turning him into a robot.]]

* IncomingHam: Drek unleashes a new weapon against the Galactic Rangers by pressing a button... and the audience is met with Mr. Zurkon's famous "YOO-HOO!" Shortly after, an entire ''army'' of Mr. Zurkons attack, all of them spouting his signature one-liners.
