I like to think Ratchet has three settings when dealing with the injured Autobots.
If you got hurt from battle or something legitimately outside of your control, he's going to treat you like a prince while in his care. Gentle voice, making sure you get plenty of rest, helping you get positioned on the berth in a comfortable way, etc.
If you got hurt from something avoidable but to avoid it would result in harm coming to someone else, you get lectured while receiving most of the same care as listed above. Like, Mirage jumping in front of Noah because he'd be hurt but Noah would be killed. Or Bumblebee getting talent by the humans protecting Sam and Mikayla. Avoidable but doing so would hurt others so you get a lecture but it's affectionate.
If you got hurt doing something stupid he TOLD you not to do, you better hope it kills you, because otherwise he will. Sideswipe trying to Tokyo drift on a frozen lake and falling through the ice? Literally the entire Autobot base can hear Ratchet lecturing him from the Medbay. Optimus was a self sacrificing idiot who refused to refuel and recharge AGAIN and passed out mid meeting, hitting his head on the way down? There's a betting pool going around about whether or not Ratchet will hit him with his wrench or not hit him at all. Nobody wins, because Ratchet doesn't hit him with his wrench, he hits him with a crowbar.
And Primus forbid Ratchet has to leave the base to come get your dumbass after you got hurt doing something dumb. Bumblebee is stuck in the La Brea Tar Pits because Arcee dared him to run across it? Both of them are contemplating whether it's worth it to just wait for the Decepticons to find them because the threats Ratchet is already making while driving to come pry Bumblebee out are harrowing.
Do I know you… you seem familiar…
hmm... maybe.. idk it's not like we talk every single day and hang out irl frequently....

What's ur favorite platonic ship??
Also ur art tastes like blueberry lime slush
Idrk what platonic ship means…but my favorite pairing of buddies is Rewind, Tailgate and Swerve! They’re the best of friends who have no sense of tmi or personal space with eachother. They’re so gross. Rewind burps so loudly and tg and swerve go “I caught that” “that was so good bro”
Ocs ref redraw done!!

i hate this weird trend in fandom where subtext is seen as a Bad Thing and is only done if the creators are too cowardly to commit to showing something. i hate to break it to you but nuance and layers are what make stories interesting, if you have no subtext then you have a very flat story
