Ratlon

Ratlon is a fictional material that appears in the animated television series Transformers. It is often depicted as a rare and extremely durable metal used in the construction of advanced Cybertronian technology, particularly weapons and armor. The substance is known for its exceptional resistance to damage, making it highly sought after by both the Autobots and Decepticons.

In various storylines, Ratlon's properties are central to plot points. For instance, an object or vehicle constructed with Ratlon might be significantly harder to destroy, leading to extended battles or requiring specialized weaponry to overcome. The scarcity of Ratlon also serves as a plot device, driving conflict as factions vie for control of its sources or the limited quantities available. Its unique molecular structure is sometimes explained as a result of ancient Cybertronian forging processes or found in specific, dangerous locations on the planet Cybertron or other celestial bodies. The exact composition and origin of Ratlon are often left vague, serving primarily as a narrative element to highlight the advanced and often exotic nature of Transformer technology.
