Tokens have no CMC, therefore are instant-killed by a Ratchet Bomb with one charge on it.
Tokens that are copies will have the CMC of whatever they're copying.
706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object’s characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The “copiable values” are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, expansion symbol, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by “as . . . enters the battlefield” and “as . . . is turned face up” abilities that set characteristics, and by abilities that caused the object to be face down. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
I do want to point out that a lot of people are stating all the indestructible spells we have to counter Ratchet Bomb, but remember that means that you ALWAYS have to have mana open and that just isn't feasible in standard. Do I think R-Bomb will kill all token decks? No. Do I think it will have an effect on the playability token decks? Yes. Conclusion: It will be harder to play token decks, but still feasible.

Oops. My brain is too tired from finals week to be on the forums that I am missing basic details like that. Don't know how I missed the 'clone' part.

I know that it is very small but at least it gives us an idea of what the promo version will look like.
At the size seen it actually looks a lot like the WPN promo of Golem's Heart with a bit more colour to it.
