Ratbat was one of several tapes that accompanied [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] when they were spying on the construction of [[Autobot City]]. Soundwave had managed to record a meeting between [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] where the two Autobots leaders discussed hiding the [[Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] in a bunker at the building site. Ratbat was deployed along with [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]], [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], [[Beastbox]] and [[Squawktalk]] to oversee the retrieval of the powerful Autobot artifact. As Ratbat happily reported the minimal usage of fuel in the successful operation, the Autobot [[Hot Rod]] rammed [[Squawkbox]] and Slugfest, scaring the crap out of the bat. {{storylink|Madman Transformers Comic}}

{{Note|Despite the fact that this comic is set firmly within the cartoon continuity of ''Generation One'', Ratbat's sole line of dialogue (and the fact that he speaks at all) is based on Ratbat's various comic book appearances, and not his beast-like cartoon depiction.}}
