Spoilers ahead

The nefarious Chairman Drek, portrayed by Paul Giamatti, addresses his followers, the Blarg, as they prepare to annihilate an abandoned planet. In a moment of comical reprimand, he catches one of his minions texting and instructs his robotic henchman, Victor Von Ion, to handle the situation. Displaying his ruthless demeanor, Victor resolves the issue by consuming the goon’s phone before the villains successfully destroy the planet.

Meanwhile, in another part of the galaxy, the young lombax named Ratchet is tinkering away in his garage, working on a spacecraft for a customer. In a comedic mishap, he accidentally activates the ship’s magnetic pull, resulting in a whirlwind of metal items flying toward the vessel. Despite the chaos, Ratchet manages to launch the ship, inadvertently ejecting the customer from his seat mid-flight.
