"Hey, I was born ready!" - Monkey
Rat-ified is a Metal Maniacs car that is driven by Monkey. It was destroyed by a Sweeper, when Monkey was willing to get captured in order to hijack the machine.
History[]
It was first seen during Breaking Point, in the Metal Maniacs' garage when Taro was fixing his car.
After Monkey and Nolo were caught by a Sweeper in the Metro Realm, Monkey realized that Sweepers assumed each car it took apart being left-handed (i.e., steering wheel mounted on the left side of the cockpit) to extract the driver inside of it. With that in mind, Monkey specifically built Rat-ified right-handed to escape capture. This comes to use in Kurt's plan to infiltrate the Racing Drones' HQ and rescue Markie, by hijacking a Sweeper to do so. It was only driven in the first half of the Cosmic Realm, before it was destroyed by a Sweeper as part of the plan.

Trivia[]
- Rat-ified is one of only two Metal Maniacs cars to be right-hand drive, the other being Power Bomb.
- Powered by a V12 engine, Rat-ified is one of the only two Metal Maniacs cars to be powered by an engine of more than eight cylinders. The other is Spine Buster, powered by a V10.
- The name "Rat-ified" is split from the word "ratified" (present tense: ratify), means something becomes official or valid. "Rat" in this context, means "rat rod" a type of custom car that is structurally simple and really fast. In this case, it means Monkey is finally ready alongside his teammates, proving his worth as a teammate.
- This is one of the only cars to have entered only one realm, others being Deora II, Slingshot, '70 Plymouth Road Runner and Flathead Fury.
- It is also one of the three cars in the movies that can go to 300 mph completely on its own (without Nitrox 2 and track boosters), the others being Reverb and RD-09
- This means Rat-ified is the fastest car among the Metal Maniacs.
- The die-cast model is one of the only cars of Acceleracers toyline that has its Hot Wheels flame symbol on the body. In this case, it's debossed on the engine.
- In the Monkey wallpaper, the cockpit is somewhat at the center of the body instead of the right side.
