Angela had much smaller ears and no visible tail. Interestingly, Rivet’s physical appearance differs from Angela’s, having large flat ears and a very prominent, raccoon-like tail. That honor belongs to Angela Cross, former Megacorp employee who appeared in their second adventure, and disappeared with Max Apogee one year the events of Tools of Destruction thanks to Emperor Tachyon. Rivet is Ratchet’s dimensional equivalent, but she's is not the first female Lombax that Ratchet and Clank have encountered. But despite the many losses, her spirit’s never been broken - she’s still convinced that she can win this fight. While she’s known and admired by many around the galaxy for her heroics, she has never managed to win against their evil ruler. Determined to restore peace to her home, Rivet works tirelessly to dismantle the Emperor’s dystopia one battle at a time. Whether we’ll get to enjoy the pair’s intergalactic escapades in the form of a standalone entry or as part of Ratchet and Clank’s future adventures remains to be seen, but too much effort has gone into introducing these two new heroes for Insomniac to suddenly forget all about them.Underground Resistance fighter, capable mechanic, and secret softie, Rivet is from a universe where she never had a robotic partner and, as a result, Nefarious reigns supreme. Is Rift Apart setting up a “Rivet and Kit” spin-off?Ĭlearly destined to find each other within their own universe at some point, Rift Apart effectively speeds up the timeline and most definitely sets up a potential “Rivet and KIT” spin-off game. Whether the next installment will star the duo, as before, or reunite the foursome is also left open to interpretation. Our best bet is that it’s the second option, which could potentially leave the door open for future Ratchet & Clank adventures. Her name was never revealed, throughout the Ratchet & Clank series. However, Rift Apart never makes it clear whether Clank knows the exact coordinates of where the remaining members of the Lombax race are located, or if a good amount of travel and mishaps will be required to find them.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the location they’re referring to is most certainly the place that Ratchet and Clank originally intended to go. When the dust eventually settles and Nefarious is defeated, Rivet and Ratchet posit making a certain “pit stop” together before returning to their home dimensions. Nefarious, kicking off the events of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

This, of course, ultimately leads the Dimensionator Clank’s been working on to fall into the hands of Dr. The whole reason the titular pair are transported to an alternate dimension in the first place is that Clank wants to treat Ratchet to a surprise trip to find the other Lombaxes.

Where is the “pit stop” Ratchet suggests they visit before returning KIT and Rivet to their dimension? Unfortunately, all this good work is undone when Rivet and KIT are reunited, and the latter refuses to join the others in the final battle against Emperor Nefarious due to still being racked with guilt and thinking herself broken. Over the course of a couple of planet-hopping adventures with Ratchet, however, KIT eventually begins to believe she could forgive herself, and may even have a life outside of simply guarding the Archives back on Savalis. In this dimension, she’s not had a Lombax companion to help guide her, after all. Whereas Clank (her dimensional counterpart) quickly grew to realize he’s capable of more than just destruction all the way back in the first game, Rift Apart finds KIT at a point where she is still reconciling with the consequences of her actions. Late in the game, it’s revealed via flashback that the warbot responsible for taking Rivet’s right arm is none other than KIT. Let’s take a look: Why did KIT return to help Rivet and Ratchet defeat Emperor Nefarious? That said, there are still a few unanswered mysteries worth digging into at the end of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The game ends pretty definitively, with our heroes saving the day (surprise, surprise!).
