I really want to know if Ratchet does end up finding his family…and if they might one day create a new game which finally does put Ratchet\'s search for his family to an end. Based on the ending of A Crack In Time I think they will…what do you guys think?
i hope they do. i mean, R&C ACIT left a major cliffhanger
They could do that for the 10th anniversary! It's only next year.
Maybe it could involve stumbling into a plethora of alternate dimensions with the Surinox shard
I don't think Ratchet will get his parents back since they apparently died, but there must be lombaxes left (others than Angela) somewhere in the nearby galaxies as it isn't possible that all of them got to the Dimensionator portal(s) in time. And I have a feeling there were more lombax planets than just Fastoon, evacuating everyone to the portals would've been impossible.
Taking that to account, Tachyon can't have hunted down every other lombax, in fact, he supposedly didn't even know about Angela and Alister or any other lombax who possibly chose to stay. "Only two stayed behind, the keeper of the Dimensionator and his infant son", he told to Ratchet (might have been lying anyway).
And Ratchet had a bit of a short memory in ToD, as he apparently told Talwyn he hadn't met other lombaxes (cutscene 22 - The Lombax Secret). If he unintentionally forgot to tell about Angela, he may as well have met a lombax or two when he was on Veldin as a child, which he could've forgotten.
I think IG will eventually bring a sub-conclusion where Ratchet finds other surviving lombaxes there are left. That could happen in the next game after A4O bringing a conclusion to the PS3 era of Ratchet, but it's just pure speculation.

Ratchet's parents ARE DEAD. No questions, it's confirmed, by Tachyon, Azimuth AND Insomniac Games.
No Lombaxes in that Dimention, Angela and Ratchet were BOOTH sen't to Solana, wonder why? (sarcasm) I'll bet It was intended! And Alister was the ONLY Exile.
Fastoon was the ONLY Lombax Planet, while this wasn't confirmed, there has only been Lombax history in Polaris, and only one Lombax planet in Polaris… Fastoon! The Lombaxes most likely had a big showdown with the Drophyds in the area Ratchet does. Because when the Cragmites attacked i'm sure every Lombax on the planet would have been sumoned to fight (but the area was probably alot bigger during the fight. Chances are, the dimentionator was fired up in the Court, and the Lombaxes marched into it.
And Tachyon had an entire race of Drophyds… As youv'e seen, they come in large numbers. And Tachyon was a "brilliant inventor, technology lightyears from what we had seen" - Azimuth. And yea he didn't even know about Ratchet 'till the attack on Kerwan (and most likely, an attack on whatever planet Angela was at too (as said by Kip Darling the last that was seen of Angela was her being saved by Tachyon's troops by Max Apogee) He probably didn't tell Ratchet about Angela, so that he didn't get his hopes up (and he wouldn't have known about Alister's exile…
And Ratchet probably hasn't mentioned anything about Angela for the same reason he didn't mention anything about Sasha 
And don't worry Ratchet did NOT meet any other Lombaxes, of this I am certain!
Perhaps he still can meet other Lombaxes… If he can reach thier dimention… Tachyon had a thourough search thoughout Polaris… And Ratchet had a thoughout seach of the Breegis System (one area Tachyon could not look, due to Agorians, and Nefarious.

He probably didn't know at the time that Angela Cross was a Lombax…

Well, I agree with the parts I left unquoted and the last - it would be silly to question confirmed facts or obvious things. But:
1. Why would the lombaxes stay just on one planet if they possessed such skills in engineering? Wouldn't others want to employ them to build machines of all sorts? And any people with that advanced tech would found trading outposts or colonies on other (uninhabited) planets too, like they did with the military facilities around Polaris. That's why I think they were spread around Polaris, while most of them were obviously living on Fastoon.
If Ratchet's, his father's, or Alister's personalities reflect anything of lombaxes in general, there must've been lombax adventurers and explorers who have travelled far, and some of them might have settled down on distant planets on distant galaxies, possibly even beyond Solana and Bogon (though we don't know if these are even near each other, but at this point I assume at least Solana lies near Polaris). They may have survived if they were lucky.
I didn't mean there would be a surviving lombax planet or something like that out there, but more of an outpost of several lombaxes who couldn't for any reason reach the Dimensionator (imagine even evacuating a single city through one portal, it would take ages). Or maybe just a few scattered around the nearby galaxies. But they've definitely built outposts, though they might have been destroyed by Tachyon.
2. Well, Tachyon probably knew Angela was a lombax as she and her origin was known in the news broadcast as well, but she might have just been an unknown rebel Tachyon wanted to get rid of and that would've been why she was chased. If she and Max would've last been seen near Jasindu, I would've investigated the whole planet immediately if I were Tachyon (but only if I would've known she indeed was a lombax), and possibly have found the Dimensionator.
3. That is if he finds a way to travel there. I'm actually quite surprised that never came to Alister's mind seeing there are other inter-dimensional devices, in as easily acquirable items as the Rift Inducer 5000. He though wanted to save the fallen lombaxes and return his honour, not just go to inform they could return home it seems.
From what I understood, Tachyon did a surprise attack on Fastoon, the Fastoonian lombaxes had barely any time to react, far from sending a message to other lombaxes in space or on other planets and waiting for them to arrive as reinforcements or to get to the portal. If they could've prepared for the attack, they wouldn't have fled. It all happened quickly, so I doubt all of the lombaxes were called to battle or to the Dimensionator portal, apart from reaching it. Though, the possible outposts could've been evacuated creating portals there too.
And if I were a lombax who heard of the attack but couldn't reach the portal, I would have tried to gather all of the others there were left together and either ambush and assassinate Tachyon as revenge or then flee to a distant god-forsaken place where we couldn't be found.
I'm sorry about how overly long this reply became, but I tried to make it as tight as possible.

1. Very interesting, I completely forgot about that! But yea, Fastoon was the Planet they came from, and the planet they would most likely support if in danger, and with Tachyon's attack, all Lombaxes would have come to try and fight for the Galaxy… Even the Universe! But upon loosing to all of the Drophyds I'm sure Tachyon would have rounded up every last Lombax and sent them through, sure it would take forever, but as said by Alister i think it was? "Tachyon was Thourough (probably spelt that wrong?) He would have spent every remaining day looking to find and kill every Lombax in Polaris! But after a good look around probably either remembered or found out that two Lombaxes had been sent far far away to Solana… All he would of had to do was look in the news paper to see where they were at!
2.I'll bet Tachyon had found out her purpose remember "Only I know what your true purpose is!" and "I detected no lie in his voice" I'm pretty sure his purpose had something to do with Angela 
3.The Dimentionaor was voice activated "find home!" "find the Cragmites" "find the Lombaxes!" while the Rift Ripper could open a portal to another Dimention, the first one kinda sucked them in and crushed them! While the 5000 opened up an unstable portal to a random dangerous dimention to let a beast poke his temticles out and eat some people up! Most likely very dangerous! But if you remember a lot of Lombaxes had died, and Alister wanted to save them all, thinking the Clock was the safest and best way to save them… He wen't foward with his plan 
And if some Lombaxes were slow (like if thier ships were outta fuel and noone else could get them to Fastoon, then I'm sure after Tachyon finished off with Fastoon he would have sent the Drophyds out on a mission to kill every stray Lombax!

Well, Tachyon must have hunted down a lot, if not every other lombax in Polaris except Alister, especially those who weren't as cautious as Alister. But there must be hundreds of uninhabited wastelands where hiding and keeping a low profile could be possible (as Yoda and Obi-Wan did in Star Wars - Alister's cautious low-profile living is actually very similar to Obi's). Though many of the behind-left lombaxes must have been killed on the run, at least Angela managed to survive for over 15 years, and Tachyon even wasn't directly on her (not-existing) tail even after 15 years of search as was seen in Going Commando. She had escaped to another galaxy, that's possibly the cause to that. That makes it possible for a few other lombaxes to be scattered around the nearby galaxies (some of them may have died for other reasons such as local conflicts though).
There are a lot of questions to be asked about Angela:
- Why didn't she leave through the portal in the first place? She most probably wasn't around at Fastoon, but how come a teenager was left behind (she is supposedly about ten to fifteen years older than Ratchet, thus being a teenager when Tachyon attacked) - her parents would've probably wanted to get her to safety by any means unless they had died.
- How did she end up in Bogon?
- Did she possibly flee Polaris or her homeland (in this case it must've been an outpost of some sort or then she was living with non-lombaxes, as if she were on Fastoon she would've been killed or fled to the another dimension) with any other lombaxes? Did anyone help her to escape?
- How did she manage to hide from Tachyon for so long?
- What happened to her after she escaped with Max and hid the Dimensionator to Jasindu?
- How did she and Max get their hands on the Dimensionator? Did Kaden hand it to Max before he fought and perished against Tachyon? (May have been answered officially, but I can't really recall any of such.)

Well I'd guess she couldv'e had the same story as Ratchet, except she went to Bogon, rather than Solana. If those galaxies use to have Lombaxes, then I'd think there would have been a big deal about it. (like how in Polaris everyone is like "holy moly its a LOMBAX!!!"
I'd say Angela was sent to Bogon, because it was so far away from Polaris, and same goes with Ratchet, do you remeber "Too bad he sent you to Solana before we could meet" (Tachyon) Tachyon must have found this out just before sending the Drophyds to Kerwan. And he also must have learn't a simmilar thing about Angela. Because as Kip said, she was on the run from Tachyon. So maybe a simmilar story, Tachyon must have not said anything about the second Lombax, because he didn't want Ratchet getting any funny ideas (like teaming up to defeat Tahyon)
Oh and as for how she hid from Tahyon… She's a Lombax! (the running type)
Well from all I've heard (Radio and Smuggler) Max Apogee was trusted to keep the Dimentionator safe from Tachyon. He obviosly knew the Kerchu, and so trusted them to look after it. Ratchet had the Dimentionator destroyed (well gave it to Cronk broken anyway) so Max wouldn't be able te escape that way… Unless he had a secret of his own?
Oh and I don't think the Dimentionator was Kaden's responsibility… More like the whole Races secret, so they all would have agreed to give it to Max.
Insomniac did say the Future series is done, so that means we won't be hearing much more about the Lombaxes or Zoni… Maybe a clue every now and then, but sadly if IG says so, it is basically true.
