The Gadgetron Morph-O-Ray, also known as the Morph-o-ray or Morpharay,^[1] was Gadgetron's failed attempt to create a disintegration ray. Their failed result emanated a colorful ray that turned enemies into chickens. Larger enemies took longer to transform and the only boss that could be transformed was the Alien Queen.

BugEdit

More bolts could be acquired than regularly by transforming an enemy into a chicken and then using the Suck Cannon on it.

Gold Morph-O-RayEdit

Main article: Gold Morph-O-Ray

The Gold Morph-O-Ray morphed enemies faster into bigger chickens, that would also act as decoys for Ratchet, diverting the attention of untransformed enemies. When the enemies attacked it enough it would explode also damaging the enemies.

In-game summariesEdit

• "While it originated as a failed attempt at a disintergration ray, the Morph-o-ray has now become one of Gadgetron's most popular devices. Just shine the Morph-o-ray beam at your foes and watch them turn into harmless chickens! Hold the beam on an enemy for a short period of time to convert it. Caution: larger enemies may take longer to convert." - Normal Version Help Menu Description
• "When we realized how popular the Morpharay had become, we couldn't wait to make a Gold Morpharay. Yes, this is the perfect weapon for chicken-lovers everywhere. Now featuring faster morphing technology!

And, due to popular demand, we've even super-sized the chickens. BIG CHICKENS! Could anyone ask for more?" - Help Menu Description (Gold version)

Behind the scenesEdit

In a behind-the-scenes video in the goodies menu of the original Ratchet & Clank, at one point footage of the early version of the game is seen where the Morph-O-Ray had a different effect. It shot white rings, an effect that looked very similar to the effect created by the Metal Detector. It was also noticeable that in this early version, the Morph-O-Ray had a way shorter range.
