From Transformers Wiki
The name or term "Ravage" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ravage (disambiguation).
Main | Toys & Merchandise
Ravage is a Decepticon cassette from the Generation 1 continuity family.
No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to Megatron than Ravage. One of Soundwave's most reliable spies, Ravage believes unwaveringly in the
Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause. To better serve Megatron and the Decepticons, Ravage has become the most efficient and
deadly war machine under his command. He hides himself in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with grim accuracy. His name is
synonymous with stealth. His survivors are few.
Ravage's only weakness is bright light, which can temporarily blind him. Perhaps his absolute loyalty to Megatron can blind him as well.
Sometimes he's a talker, other times he just growls or hisses at anything that isn't Megatron or Soundwave.

At various times, Ravage has been referred to as Tripredacus Agent, Tri-Predacus

Agent, or Kurohyō Man (クロヒョウマン "Black Panther Man"). It's all very confusing.

Ravage was a loyal bodyguard for the Overlords, the Autobots that once ruled all of Cybertron, for generations. He witnessed as their planet-
wide rule crumbled into a loose collection of feuding city-states. Like ancient Rome, the last Overlord
barely managed to hold together the autocracy through the gladiatorial games, which allowed the city-
states to vent their frustrations over low fuel supplies on each other in scripted, controlled conflicts. A
war broke out between Vos and Tarn, however, and Ravage and his partner Nightstalker attempted to
escort the Overlord to safety. Joined by the gladiators Megatron and Optimus Prime, their journey was
perilous. The Overlord was now an enfeebled mechanoid who required constant re-energization to
survive, and constantly slowed them down. After Prime raced ahead to get help, Nightstalker self-
destructed himself in a final loyal act to defend the Overlord, leaving the ruler alone with Megatron and
Ravage. Though the Overlord was near death, Ravage refused to give the Overlord any of his energy,

appearance, is the first State Games
Transformer to have dialogue in
the first Transformers story. As a member of Megatron's Decepticons, Ravage attempted to
hijack the Ark four million years ago, only to fail and fall into
deactivation sleep until 1984. The detonation of the volcano, Mount St. Hilary, reactivated the Autobots
and Decepticons, unleashing their war on Earth. The two factions soon found themselves battling on the
site of a drive-in movie theatre, where Ravage was able to distract Hound from determining the location of
Bumblebee, who had gone missing. The Transformers The Decepticons found themselves in need of energy,
so Megatron ordered Ravage to investigate Harrison Nuclear Power Plant. Jumping into one of the plant
worker's cassette recorders, he learned not only of the energy-harnessing technology of this new world,
but that its primary inhabitants were not the vehicles they transformed into, but their weird organic
operators! Ravage and the other Decepticons immediately attacked Harrison Nuclear and claimed it for
themselves. Afterwards, Ravage concealed himself within the boom box of "O", the friend of Buster
Witwicky, and learned that Buster had allied himself with the Autobots. He quickly returned to Megatron
to report this information, and the Decepticons launched another attack, this time on Buster's
neighborhood. Ravage jumped Mirage, and the reluctant Autobot wrestled with the Decepticon until Holy crap, Ravage is HUGE!
Ravage was knocked away by Brawn. The Decepticons retreated after kidnapping Buster's father,
Sparkplug Witwicky. Power Play! Ravage returned with his comrades to the Decepticons' new base, constructed out of materials salvaged from Harrison
Nuclear, and coerced Sparkplug into converting Earth fuel into a substance they could use. Soon, their base was infiltrated by Gears and the amazing
Spider-Man, and although the latter was as fast and agile as Ravage, the former put Ravage out of the fight with a punch. Prisoner of War!
Shortly into their stay on Earth, the ever-treacherous Starscream attempted to build up support against Megatron by demanding action when
Megatron cautioned patience, knowing his fellow Decepticons were getting restless for battle. Fearing that an outright execution of
Starscream would turn popular opinion against him, Megatron asked Ravage to spy on the Seeker and find him an excuse to get rid of
Starscream. Ravage was discovered, though, and critically injured by Starscream during their fight. Ravage managed to crawl home across
the desert, however, and reported the betrayal to Megatron. Having dishonored himself by attacking his fellow Decepticon, Starscream was
forced to engage in a trial by combat with the Autobot Brawn, who had fallen into a similar
situation by unrelated circumstances. After defeating Brawn in combat and flying back to
Decepticon headquarters to declare his victory, Starscream was shot down by the vengeful
Ravage on Megatron's orders. Ravage reported the Autobots were responsible for the attack, and
thus Megatron was able to galvanize the Decepticons for battle himself, effectively stealing
Starscream's thunder and punishing the mutineer in the process. The Enemy Within!
As the Decepticons assaulted the Ark, Ravage fought against the magnetic Autobot Windcharger,
employing his own electromagnetic shield to protect himself from his opponent's powers. When
Optimus Prime attempted to awaken the ship's computer Auntie during the battle, however, she
awoke in a scrambled state and turned against all the Transformers, using magnetic force to hold
all the combatants against her hull... except for Ravage and Windcharger. Forced to work
He's so cute when he's angry.
together for the benefit of both their armies, they managed to deactivate Auntie. Raiders of the Last Ark
Megatron ordered Ravage to sneak into the Ark and provide him with news of the Autobots' fuel
situation. Fortunately for the Decepticons, the Autobots had failed to find a source of fuel, so the
time came to strike. During the Decepticons' immediate attack on the Ark, Ravage singled out
Mirage, intent on finishing the job he had begun earlier. Ravage ignored Mirage's pleas for a
peaceful discussion and removed Mirage's arm with his teeth. Mirage's resolve against the
Decepticons strengthened, he blasted Ravage, removing him fully from the rest of the battle.
The Last Stand The chance arrival of Shockwave was all that allowed ultimate Decepticon victory,
and Ravage, his deposed leader Megatron, and several others were nursed back to full operating
status. The New Order Though Megatron rebelled against his usurper, he failed, and Shockwave
"Ravage, why must we fight, we are not enemies!"
paraded Megatron's beaten form in front of Ravage and the other Decepticons.
The Worse of Two Evils!
Ravage accompanied several other Decepticons, under the command of Soundwave, in an assault on the Autobots after they had been duped by a
bogus Optimus Prime under Shockwave's control. Ravage, the impostor Prime, and the other Decepticons made short work of the Autobots until the
real Prime was restored. The Autobot commander turned the tide easily and Ravage and the other Decepticons were defeated. Prime Time!
While eavesdropping on the Autobots' arguments over whether or not to use the Creation Matrix to build an army of powerful superwarriors,
Ravage's presence aboard the Ark was detected. The Decepticon spy made a run for it, but was caught in a web by Mirage and Hound.
Ravage, however, is nearly impossible to kept locked up, and so he was able to quickly escape. Optimus Prime ordered Bumblebee to track him
down, but Ravage's capture was part of a larger scheme, and he led Bumblebee right into a trap. Crisis of Command!
While sitting in their alternate modes inside a Portland, Oregon, electronics store, Soundwave, Ravage, and Laserbeak awaited news of Megatron's
location during their former leader's disappearance. After his fuel-deprived body froze in nearby mining pit in the
Powder River Basin, they left the store and brought fuel to Megatron. Here they successfully fought the American
military and found a new ally, Donny Finkleberg, who claimed to control the Transformers as the supervillain
Robot-Master. I, Robot-Master!
Ravage was given the task of being Finkleberg's "minder." He kept an eye on the fabricated supervillain
even while "Robot-Master's" film crew captured a battle between Shockwave and Megatron for
Decepticon leadership. Second Generation! Retaking command, Megatron re-established his Decepticons in the
basin, at the protests of Shockwave, while Ravage continued to watching over Finkleberg. However, during a
sudden Autobot attack, Ravage was distracted and Finkleberg was able to escape. Command Performances!
Ravage relentlessly tracked the human's scent across the

Pacific Northwest towards Wyoming, despite

Finkleberg's discarding of most of his smell by exchanging
clothes. At this point, Ravage had apparently given up on
returning Finkleberg to the Decepticons alive, and had begun shooting to kill. This change in
protocol resulted in a melted campsite where Finkleberg had abandoned his clothes, but little else.
Days later, Ravage tracked the human down in Wyoming, where he was protected by the
Autobot named Skids and the Autobot's human companion Charlene. Ravage chased the trio "Nothing can sway him except, of course, rubbing
through a small downtown area where he subdued Skids. Skids (and Finkleberg, by extension) him just in the right spot on his tummy-tum."
was rescued by an unlikely hero, Jake Dalrymple, when Jake rammed his sports car into Ravage,
toppling the Decepticon momentarily. After a protracted battle with Skids, Ravage was sent tumbling down a mine shaft and rendered inoperative on
impact. Showdown!
At the Decepticons' base in the Florida Keys, Ravage tried to cheer up a down-in-the-dumps Megatron with some words of encouragement, but
Megatron was too preoccupied to listen. Power Struggle Later, he informed Shockwave of Cobra's arrival. Ashes, Ashes...
Three years later, Ravage was awakened by a series of earth tremors, set off by the time storm raging throughout the universe. Finding much
had changed since his deactivation, Ravage stumbled into the underground bunker of none other than "Megatron" and Galvatron. Initially
siding with his old leader(s?), during a battle with the Wreckers, Ravage was surprised to learn that the presence of Galvatron and Scourge in
the present was the source of the time storm. Though he was blasted by Carnivac (who had temporarily teamed up with the Wreckers), Ravage
abandoned the battle and sought out the reclusive Shockwave. Shockwave was nearly catatonic over the irrationality of the time paradox that
threatened to destroy them all, but Ravage managed to use logic to convince his former leader to come to his senses. At Ravage's suggestion,
Shockwave gave up the body of Cyclonus, tossing it into the timestorm, which ended the threat to the present and future. Time Wars
In the aftermath, he hooked up with Megatron and they returned to Cybertron to seek new fortunes. In the Decepticon capital city of Helex,
though, they found Autobots wandering around unmolested, and the area free of Decepticon supervision.
After deposing the inadequate Triumverate, Megatron established a new beachhead for his conquests,
with Ravage by his side. The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire. Before long, though, Ravage's Megatron was
destroyed by the original Megatron, who revealed that the Megatron from Time Wars was a
reconstruction of Lord Straxus. Two Megatrons!
Ravage eventually resurfaced on Earth, working with Starscream and Shockwave in an

auxiliary Decepticon army, planning to overthrow then-leader Scorponok. After recruiting
more of Scorponok's disgruntled soldiers, including Triggerhappy and Mindwipe,
Eye of the Storm Ravage returned with his fellow insurgents to an underwater headquarters to
plan their attack. As Scorponok began to forge a very unpopular alliance with the
Autobots due to the threat of Unicron's coming, Ravage and the other Decepticon

In 2003, Ravage was on a routine mission to infiltrate the Ark when he came across Ultra Magnus's huge new plans for a transforming
fortress known as Autobot City: Earth. Upon hearing that Kup would be transporting a simulation tape of the City's blueprints to all the
human leaders of Earth, Ravage skittered off to inform his Stunticon comrades so that they could intercept the information in transit. Ark Duty

Ravage was seen when an alternate-reality Galvatron probed Wheeljack's mind. Wheeljack remembered running into Ravage at Blackrock
Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One, following the Dinobot hunt, where Wheeljack was looking for the technology
used to make Jetfire so he could repair the injured Autobots. Ravage and Wheeljack made a deal: In return for the
technology, Wheeljack would brainwash Jetfire into returning to the Decepticons. Despite not trusting Jetfire, Wheeljack
backed out at the last minute. Good job too, as he later found out Ravage had destroyed the factory, meaning he'd
almost betrayed his comrade for no end result. ...Perchance to Dream
Ravage remained on the side of Shockwave and Starscream during the Decepticon Civil War, fighting against his
longtime commanders, Megatron and Soundwave. During a fight with the Dinobots, Ravage was faced off against Slag.

Fifteen years after the battle on Klo, Megatron resurfaced on Earth, and the loyal Ravage joined
his former leader. Ravage participated in a battle in South America where a strange anomaly had
been detected. Megatron had Soundwave send Ravage and Laserbeak after Cliffjumper,
Landquake, and Skyfall. All of them disappeared in a sinkhole, where they awoke to find a
strange underground chamber. Ravage and Laserbeak attacked, though while Laserbeak was

One of the original team of Decepticons that accompanied Megatron on the attack of the Ark spacecraft,
Ravage was reformatted by Teletraan I as an audiocassette to better blend in for operations based on
Earth. Ravage served loyally as a Decepticon spy. He was one of the first Transformers to have been
encountered by a human, as workers investigating a destroyed power station fell afoul of Ravage who
pounced upon them and frightened them away. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1
Shortly thereafter, Ravage accompanied Soundwave on an infiltration mission to gather data from

More than Meets the Eye, Part 2 The Decepticon spy figured into a disinformation plot hatched by the Autobots,
who purposely leaked the presence of a rocket fuel depository in the outlying desert. In truth, there was
no rocket base—Autobot Hound projected a holographic illusion in the hopes of luring the Decepticons
into a trap. The Autobots allowed Ravage to escape and report back to Megatron, who easily saw
through the ruse. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3 Ravage reveals his slef [sic] to humans.

Story of Binaltech
The Government-run Intelligence and Information Institute unearthed a mysterious capsule during an archaeological dig. After the dissolution of III and
the obtaining of Transformer probing technology, former III staff found that the container, dubbed "Schrödinger's Box", was the flight recorder of the
Predacon Ravage's stealth ship, containing Central Consciousness File X-9, a copy of the feline's personality and memory engrams deposited into his
vessel before his final blaze of glory. When the scientists found a way to communicate with this personality, it offered them its knowledge of future events
in exchange for a new body. III agreed, and used a fake Binaltech project (internally termed the X-9 Revival Plan and filled under the pretense of
"technological synthesis tests") to provide their part of the bargain. However, to truly bring the new Ravage to life, III stole the present-day Ravage—
who had been captured by the Earth Defense Command and stasis-locked into his cassette mode—and
implanted him into the new Ravage, thereby 'fusing' the old and new Ravages into one. This new Ravage,
however, had no intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain and, after eliminating his benefactors and
learning to his shock that history did not change in his faction's favor, decided to rectify his mistake.
Ghosts of the Past
First on his agenda was his former commander, Megatron; stealing an Autobot shuttle, he located and
repaired the Kronosphere and—during a decisive battle between Megatron's and Optimus Prime's
forces that would have normally ended with the Autobots being forced off of Cybertron and into their
moon bases—turned the weapon on his own faction, trapping Megatron and his crew in a space-time
rift. This alteration in the timeline served two purposes: first, it would give the Autobots the chance to
retake Cybertron, which would then lead to them having to face off against the oncoming Unicron alone,
severely weakening them in the process. The second, and more important, purpose was to keep
Megatron alive and in good mental health (relatively speaking), thus preventing him from becoming the
insane Galvatron, and allowing him to lead the Decepticons to victory over the battle-weary Autobots.
Ravage also Transmuted Shockwave into a new Binaltech body of his own, so he could lead the
remaining Decepticons in Megatron's absence, Changing Lanes and secretly derailed many of the Autobots'
supply missions, further weakening them for their battle with the Chaos Bringer.

thanks to his acute sensitivity of the timestream, Reality Check and—with the help of Wheeljack—captured
the wayward Decepticon and forced a confession out of him. Ravage, however, was not without a trump
card, revealing that his alterations might prevent the deaths of many of the Autobots destined to die in the normal timeline (which, as a distinction between
the two, was dubbed 'Prime Time' by Wheeljack, Ravage's altered timeline being called 'Ravage Time'), though in the grand scheme of things, only
Optimus could not be considered expendable, as he contained the one thing that could bring down Unicron (the Autobot Matrix of Leadership). By the
time of his capture, however, Unicron had already been sighted on a collision course with Cybertron and, despite the temptation of preventing future
deaths among his ranks, Optimus decided Ravage's plans to be too dangerous to allow to come to fruition. To that end, he roped Ultra Magnus into
helping him fly to Unicron in a preemptive strike against the monstrous threat, while the other Autobots (left in the command of Skids), were to initiate
"Operation: Distant Thunder", which involved sending a copy of Wheeljack's memories of what Ravage confessed to them, back in time to a point prior
to the Decepticon panther's meddling, via the energies located on Dinobot Island. Darkest Hour If "Operation: Distant Thunder" worked as planned,
Ravage's plans would be foiled, and any tremors in the timeline he caused would be smoothed over by "Project Body Shop" (aka, the Binaltech project).
However, just as Skids gave the signal to transmit the memory engrams, the Autobot base was rocked by an entire fleet of Decepticons. The Autobots
just barely managed to hold off the fleet, ensuring that "Operation: Distant Thunder" was a success (though a protector ended up separating the Binaltech
timeline from the original, as supposedly the Binaltech-bodied Transformers have a higher purpose in the grand scheme of things). Binal Time Whatever

left them soon afterwards to become an operative for the Tripredacus Council. Dawn of Future's Past
Beast Wars cartoon

Ravage is one of the few Decepticon warriors who was granted amnesty at the end of the Great War and
reformatted into a Predacon, complete with classy Russian accent. He was sent by the Tripredacus
Council to capture Megatron, clean up any messes he might have made, and deal with the rest of the
beast warriors. (Whether this translated to "kill them all" in the minds of the Tripredacus Council is
unclear, but that was apparently Ravage's intent.) Ravage made the trip to prehistoric Earth in a specially
modified stealth transwarp cruiser. He successfully contacted the Maximals and allied with them to
capture Megatron. Due to the stealth capabilities of his ship, and the fact that Tarantulas was also an agent
of the council, Ravage and the Maximals easily captured Megatron and imprisoned him. The Agenda (Part 1)
Megatron, however, had one more card to play. He knew that Ravage wasn't going to let any of the beast
warriors live, and also knew he had the one thing that would turn Ravage to his side. Using a fragment
from the Golden Disk, Megatron showed Ravage something which shocked him—a message from "I vill ask you only vuhnce more... vhere
Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. As a safeguard against potential defeat, Megatron had left are moose and skvirrel?"
instructions for the descendants of the Decepticons to use transwarp technology to return to prehistoric
Earth. Although the message cut out before it was finished, Megatron's plan worked: Ravage, moved by the sight of his former master, released
Megatron. After Megatron explained the rest of the message, Ravage joined the Predacons and turned on the Maximals. Megatron and Ravage attacked
Cheetor and Optimus, at which point he transformed into his old mini-cassette alt-mode, jumped into the tape player on his ship, and started playing
wicked guitar solos. The Agenda (Part 2)
His latest treachery was short-lived. During the assault on the Axalon, Rattrap infiltrated his ship and used fusion grenades to cause an explosion that
destroyed the vessel and Ravage himself. As the inferno headed toward the bridge, Ravage raised a fist and shouted, "Decepticons forever!" to
whomever heard or cared. The Agenda (Part III)
His head, seemingly all that remained of him, was knocked into the water below the Axalon by one of Tarantulas's spider-drones. Optimal Situation

Even though the Maximals had left Earth with Megatron, the Beast Wars were far from over!
Tarantulas's "death" was actually a cover for his return in a more powerful form that had ingested
the power of the Vok! He revived Ravage into a new Transmetal 2 body to help boost his forces,

Meanwhile, the remnants of Ravage's previous body were recycled by the Vok to re-create

Soon, Ravage led an attack on Primal Prime, the Vok's new champion, and managed to separate
Prime from Tigatron, Airazor, and Ramulus. Ravage boasted of his "dark cloak" which shrouded
him from even Airazor's impressive sensor array, and unleashed a volley of missiles which
knocked her out of the sky. Meanwhile, Tarantulas encountered Primal Prime far from the main
battle, and after a heated battle, the Matrix itself was ripped from his chest by the undead spawn
of Unicron. Primeval Dawn Part 2 Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution![1]
Back at Tarantulas's lair, with the Matrix in their possession, Ravage oversaw the construction
of a transwarp portal that would transport them deep within the maw of their new master,
Unicron! Their newly-born ally, Spittor, expressed frustration at their unwillingness to finish off
the Maximals during the battle, and Ravage responded brutally. Ravage was immune to Spittor's
deadly venom-covered surface, but Spittor was not likewise protected from Ravage's savage
claws, so Spittor quickly quit complaining. Once the portal was completed, Tarantulas allowed
them to attack the Maximals; Ravage and the others had served their purpose. Ravage led them
to the Ark, but warned them to not disturb the Autobots or Decepticons on board. But little did
they know that the Vok themselves had taken control of Primal Prime's body, and remade it in
their powerful image... Primeval Dawn Part 3

It is not certain if Ravage's intentions for Megatron were another ruse or if he was actually out of his kitty mind regarding the tactical feasibility of this
endeavor.
However, what WAS a ruse was Ravage being offline — as soon as he had been tied up by Razorbeast, the Maximal commander had to leave to help
on the battlefield—upon which Ravage stopped playing dead and broke loose rather easily, managing to obtain the chronal displacement bands that
Razorbeast had put him right next to after pointing them out. (A tactical genius, that Razorbeast.) However, upon activating the bands, Ravage was pulled
into Chronospace by the trapped Magmatron, who warned him of the apocalypse that was to come, and ordered him to form a truce with the Maximals

Millions of years later, Ravage and the crew of the Nemesis awoke on Earth in 1984, and did battle with
the crew of the Ark for some time. He and the rest of Megatron's army were eventually defeated and
captured by the Autobots, but their return vessel to Cybertron, the Ark II, was destroyed in mid-flight,
leaving the Transformers apparently dead. Prime Directive #1 Ravage and many others were recovered and reprogrammed by the human mercenary known
as Lazarus. As a test of his control and their power, Lazarus sent his robots to destroy the Smitco Oil Refinery, and Ravage was there to "pacify" any

When Megatron vanished from the face of the Earth, Ravage reluctantly joined Soundwave and many other Decepticons in following
Starscream as the new leader. Starscream made his first act to take over the human city of Las Vegas, turning it into a kingdom under his
command. In order to ensure cooperation, he worked with the human population, promising them fame and protection in exchange for their
obedience. Soundwave and his cassettes worked directly with the LVPD, supplementing their efforts with surveillance and Cybertronian based
weaponry. Ravage personally intervened during a block war, dismembering a gang member before he could kill patrol officer Ryan O'Brien.

patrolling the alleyways, terrorizing civilians and running interference—the cat's efforts kept a large portion of the DCPD and National Guard
occupied while Megatron had his "conference" with the President. Later, the President sought revenge on the Transformers during an ambush
in the Nevada desert. He had American troops employ deconstructionites, tiny microchip-sized projectiles reverse engineered from
Cybertronian technology, with the power to drain energy away from Transformer systems. Ravage was caught in the initial barrage, and
either his small size or limited processing power made him fall victim faster than others. Megatron had to carry Ravage to safety as the
Decepticons retreated. Fusion

in his leader's lap as he reviewed the footage. Wataru's Power

Ravage betrayed (Predacon) Megatron, then entered the ancient Autobot battle cruiser, the Ark. Using a
prototype cloning device based on transreplication technology, he produced clones of the ancient Decepticons,
with memories and personalities intact. One by one, he downloaded protoform cloning data of the legendary
warriors: (Decepticon) Megatron, Skywarp, Starscream, Thundercracker, Reflector, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak,
Buzzsaw and Soundwave. With his clone army, Ravage returned to Predacon space with plans of conquest.

Notes
A working name for Ravage was "Stalker".[2]
As given in early Universe-style profiles published in The Transformers Comics Magazine, Ravage's nickname is Cat.
Alternate names, narration and in-universe descriptions by other characters over the years have inconsistently described the specific sub-genus of
feline which Ravage represents as a jaguar, a panther, a puma, and sometimes even as a canine.
Ravage's original package art is by far the most-copied depiction of any Transformer. It was, of course, adapted for his Transformers Universe
profile, but was also used (twice) in 1984's "back-of-the-box" battle scene,[3] and was copied in licensed coloring books and storybooks; the
pose also showed up repeatedly in the Marvel Comics. In "Time Wars Part 2" (Marvel UK #200), artist Robin Smith copied the art multiple times
across several subsequent panels. And it was, of course, recolored for Howlback's card-art. Yikes.
Reportedly, Hasbro wanted to bring Ravage's Jaguar X-9 figure over to the States as part of the Beast Wars 10th Anniversary line, but they
couldn't find the mold. Bummer.
According to the Transformers Adventure Game Book "Dinobot War", Ravage's cassette mode is labelled as the soundtrack to the musical
Cats.
In the Japanese dub of the Generation 1 cartoon, all of Frank Welker's various growling and snarling sounds for Ravage were maintained and not
redubbed with a Japanese voice actor (though Yutaka Shimaka did speak as Ravage during the character's one lone instance of dialogue in "More
than Meets the Eye, Part 3"). Frank Welker was not credited in the Japanese version, either. Jerks.
The exact same thing happened in the Brazilian dub for the series, but to be fair, voice actors in Brazil were never credited for their work until the
late nineties. Welker only received the same treatment.
Ravage's Beast Wars robot mode is simply a modified Transmetal Cheetor with Tigatron's beast head.
Ravage's transformation to cassette mode in "The Agenda (Part 2)" was accompanied by the Generation 1 transformation sound effect.
Ravage's profile in the IDW Beast Wars Sourcebook seems to suggest that, in the body he is first seen in the Beast Wars, he possess three
separate modes; robot, beast and cassette.
The name "Ravage" became unavailable as a trademark during Beast Wars, so Hasbro used the alternative "Shadow Panther" instead, and when
even that turned out to be off-limits, used the somewhat clunky name "Tripredacus Agent". The name "Ravage" eventually became available again
in time for Energon, but apparently Hasbro decided to play safe and added a prefix, thus releasing the Energon toy under the compound name
"Battle Ravage" (and later, its redeco as "Command Ravage"). Hasbro also used "Battle Ravage" for the Alternators toy and also intended to use
it for the reissue of the original Generation 1 toy available with the Toys"R"Us exclusive Classics-affiliated "Commemorative Edition" reissue of
Soundwave... but then decided that the single name "Ravage" would work just as fine. Thus, the reissue is still named "Battle Ravage" on the
packaging, but simply "Ravage" in the instructions. Following that, multiple subsequent toys have simply used the name "Ravage" again.
