Ratchet: Deadlocked is a 2005 video game and is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank franchise to mixed reviews exclusively for the PlayStation 2.

In a mission at Sarathos, Ratchet got connected to a hotline related to the pop star Courtney Gears before getting cut off by the hosts of DreadZone.

Shellshock Second Battle

Shellshock was supposed to have more dialogue for his second battle while explaining that his real name is Ivan Von Shellshocktonberg.
