He is taken back to recover and vows to perfect the [=SynthEn=] without any negative side effects. Unfortunately, though he destroys the last batch, Knock Out manages to find a sigle drop left, implied to be enough to reverse engineer and create a new batch for the Decepticons.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ratchet may have become stronger and more energetic thanks to the Synthetic Energon, but he is still a Medic-class Autobot. Though he was able to scrap many warrior Decepticons by himself, the battle-seasoned Megatron is still way out of his league and takes down Ratchet with a single punch.
