The third game in the ''[[Ratchet and& Clank (Video Game)|Ratchet and Clank]]'' series.
 
Ratchet And Clank return to their home galaxy (revealed to be named the Solana Galaxy) where they face off against Dr. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Nefarious]], a [[Mad Scientist]] and robot supremacist who also happens to be a former foe of Captain Qwark. The two reluctantly track down and team up with the disgraced superhero in order to thwart Dr. Nefarious's scheme to turn everyone in the galaxy into his robotic slaves.

{{tropelist}}
=== Provides Examples Of: ===
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: the labyrinth of a sewer beneath Dr. Nefarious's base on Aquatos.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Courtney Gears.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: An in-game meta example. The Annihilation Nation announcer says that most people know Ratchet as Secret Agent Clank's bumbling chauffeur. Said bumbling chauffeur then goes and blows a ton of crap up in the arena with weapons as big as he is.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Captain Qwark}} of all people pulls this off at the end of the game, even though he kinda just flies around doing various aerial tricks...
* [[Bond One -Liner]]: Appropriately enough, Clank gets one in the "Secret Agent Clank" films at the beginning and end of the game. Clank {{spoiler|(or rather Klunk)}} also gets one after the Courtney Gears boss battle. ("One disposable pop star... disposed")
* [[Boomerang Bigot]]: Dr. Nefarious hates "squishies" {{spoiler|despite formerly being one himself}}.
* [[Boss Remix]]: The boss theme for the fight against Courtney Gears is a remix of "Death to Squishies".
* [[Brain Uploading]]: {{spoiler|A cross between this and [[We Can Rebuild Him]] is what caused Nefarious to become the robot he is now after a horrible accident at the hands of Qwark while he was still human, though it's never quite explained which is more accurate.}}
* [[Call Back]]: The Amoeboids from ''[[Ratchet and& Clank 2002 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ratchet & Clank]]'' are revealed to have been an early galactic domination/destruction ploy by Dr. Nefarious (making their appearance then something of a [[Foreshadowing]] for him).
** Also in the 4th Vidcomic you visit Qwark's training course as Qwark.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]: They find Captain Qwark {{spoiler|after he faked his death so he wouldn't have to actually risk his life, and are unable to convince him to continue fighting. Later on, in the final boss battle, he comes dramatically sailing in on his spaceship, pumping rounds into the boss.}}
* [[Chekhov's Armory]]:
** Courtney Gears appears for the first time when you first win on Annihilation Nation, before you discover her role in Nefarious's plot.
Line 24:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Lawrence is the ''living embodiment'' of this trope.
* [[Double Entendre]]: The title, a common trend in the series. Hint; Up Your '''ARSE''nal.
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: Courtney Gears calls Dr. Nefarious "Snookie Wookums".
* [[Fake Ultimate Mook]]: Despite looking intimidating, King Amoeboids are downright pathetic (and VERY easy to one-hit kill) once your weapons are decently leveled. You can even use the Quack-O-Ray on them for D.I.Y [[Nightmare Retardant]].
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Dr. Nefarious hates "squishies".
* [[Five -Man Band]]
** Q-Force, how Qwark sees it:
*** [[The Hero]]: Qwark
Line 49:
* [[Hurricane Kick]]: Courtney Gears and her backup dancers.
* [[Innocent Innuendo]]:
{{quote| '''Galactic President''': My daughter says you're a man who's good with his hands, Ratchet.<br />
'''Ratchet''': Sir, I swear, I NEVER... }}
* [[LampshadedIf DoubleYou EntendreKnow What I Mean]]: Referencing Courtney Gears.
{{quote| '''Clank''': Her specifications were remarkable.<br />
'''Ratchet''': Well, she's not the hottest pop star in the Galaxy because of her singing. }}
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Dr. Nefarious. Between his repeated breakdowns, his [[Large Ham]] tendencies, and the snark leveled at him by Lawrence, he's easily one of the funniest characters in the series.
* [[Let's Play]]: A fairly good one by Ecwcwwe
* [[Lovable Coward|Lovable Cowards]]s: The Galactic Rangers in ''UYA''.
** {{spoiler|And they still get to pull a surprisingly awesome [[Big Damn Heroes]] monent in the finale.}}
* [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|Most Definitely Not A Lombax]]: Ratchet goes undercover with the Tyrrhaguise.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] on at least one occasion.
{{quote| '''Tyrrhanoid Guard:''' You have no clearance. How do I know I can trust you?<br />
'''Ratchet:''' Because I'll give you my sister's phone number, and because I'm certainly not a Lombax. }}
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: "Ladies and gentlemen...oh, and Helga"
** Funny thing is, it fits, since she actually is miffed until she is added onto the list. Most likely because her athletic and bodybuilder tendencies cause her not to view herself as a "lady".
* [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels]]: Failing the conversation minigame while wearing the Tyhrraguise can result in Ratchet saying, among other things, "Orange croutons zoom zoom butterscotch" and "[[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail|I emit a noxious effluvium in your general direction]]!"
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Courtney Gears is an obvious spoof of singers like [[Britney Spears]].
** Some also feel that the Galactic President resembles [[Bill Clinton]].
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If you import a ''[[Ratchet and& Clank 2002 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ratchet & Clank]]'' save, you get the Gadgetron employee discount mentioned in said game (the one that takes two years to kick in). Also, having a ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]'' save with certain guns obtained in it will let you get those guns for free.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Secret Agent Clank and Annihilation Nation.
* [[Solid Gold Poop]]: Sewer crystals come "fresh from the bowels" of the King Amoeboids.
* [[Summon Backup Dancers]]: One of Courtney's tactics when you fight her.
* [[Thousand -Yard Stare]]: The arena announcer says Ratchet has one of these.
* [[Villain Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6JNhWfejAQ&feature=related Death to Squishies], Courtney Gears' [[Lyrical Dissonance|peppy little]] declaration of robotic genocidal hate.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Dr. Nefarious's plan is to [[Unwilling Roboticisation|turn every organic lifeform in the galaxy into robots]], and he actually succeeds in doing so to Skidd McMarxx and everyone in Metropolis. Later in the game, Al is seen analyzing Skidd and remarking that it may be possible to reverse the process, but it is never really stated whether Al succeeds or not. Granted, Skidd does make a very brief appearance in the cinema at the end of the game, back to his normal self, suggesting Al did cure him and everyone in Metropolis.
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: The narrator from the vid-comics in the their game, expressing his disbelief on Qwark's supposed "adventures". Considering Qwark wrote the scripts, one can't blame him.
