'''Ransack''' is a miniature delinquent. Along with [[Backtrack (RID)|Backtrack]], the two [[Cyclone]]s delight in causing mischief as well as show disinterest in [[Fracture (RID)|big, threatening bounty hunters]] and even other [[Mini-Con]]s. Now he's working with [[Overload (RID)|Overload]], and eager to cause more destruction with his master. Sometimes, Ransack works with [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]].

==Fiction==
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' shorts===
Long ago, Ransack attacked a young [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] in [[Serenity Yard]], stealing from him a ball bearing. {{storylink|The Tragedy of Slipstream}} Ransack was eventually incarcerated onboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' when it crash-landed on [[Earth]], and was freed from his stasis pod when [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] had [[Airazor (RID)|his own]] [[Divebomb (RID)|Mini-Con companions]] tear it open. He helped his <s>cellmate</s> podmate knock out Fracture before both of them rolled away, giggling maniacally all the while. {{storylink|Knock, Knock!}} [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and his team soon thereafter detected Backtrack and Ransack's signals. {{storylink|The Power of Dibs}}

Backtrack and Ransack resisted further attempts on Fracture's part to recruit them, knocking the Decepticon into unconsciousness before provoking Airazor and Divebomb into chasing them. {{storylink|Back and Forth}} Their pursuers were intercepted by the Autobot Mini-Cons [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and Slipstream, who began to squabble with their Decepticon counterparts over which had the best claim to the Cyclones. Ransack and Backtrack quickly lost interest, becoming mesmerized by some nearby rocks. But when Slipstream was knocked into a rock mound they had built, the Cyclones turned their firepower on all four of the other Mini-Cons, forcing them to take cover. {{storylink|A Level Playing Field}} When the aligned Mini-Cons emerged from their hiding place, they managed to work together long enough to defeat both Backtrack and Ransack. The Cyclones were then taken back to the Autobot base to be put in stasis lock. {{storylink|Two Plus Two Equals More}}

Freed from their stasis pods by a fight with [[Overload (RID)|Overload]], Ransack and Backtrack spied on the rest of the battle. They tailed the Decepticon who was heading for [[Crown City]], and teamed up with him. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}} The pair hung out with Overload until Bumblebee convinced them that they had nothing in common with the Decepticon, and they happily started hitting him with pots and pans. Bumblebee was later able to lead them back to the scrapyard. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}} When Overload escaped the scrapyard after being freed by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], Backtrack and Ransack were left behind by their old master. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

Ransack's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

*'''Ransack''' (Mini-Con, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Armor sprue (Helmet, jetpack, left & right blasters, 4 leg-claws)

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)| Robots in Disguise]]'' individually-packaged Mini-Cons, Ransack transforms from cannonball to quadrupedal robot in a few simple steps. He comes with a large armor sprue, containing armor pieces that can attach to him in both modes; he is capable of transforming between his modes, and being used in Cyclone-style launchers, without the need to remove the armor.

: As a Cyclone Mini-Con, Ransack's cannonball mode is designed to be used in the launchers of the larger Deployer toys [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] and [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]].

: This wave was largely skipped by larger brick-and-mortar stores in the US, but began to filter out through discount chains like Marshalls and Five Below by the 2016 holiday season.

: This mold was also used to make [[Backtrack (RID)#Toys|Backtrack]].

*'''Crazybolt / Micron Ransack''' (Micron Shooter, 2016)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TAV47'''
**''Accessories'': Armor sprue (Helmet, jetpack, left & right blasters, 4 leg-claws)

: Part of wave 15 of the [[TakaraTomy]] ''Adventure'' line, a more thoroughly-deco'd Ransack was only available packed in with Crazybolt. This version of Ransack is slightly [[retool]]ed, as were all the Microns from Wave 14 onward, adding a rather intrusive [[5 mm post]] to his back so he can be... used as a hand-held cudgel? Who knows.
