'''Ravage''' specializes in infiltration. A frequent partner of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], he does the dirty work of the larger Decepticon. Ravage's body and armament are all dedicated to hitting the enemy before they even know what hit them. He can be orbitally inserted at fifteen times the speed of sound, spy inside highly secure locations using swarms of [[microcon]]s, and generally ruin your day. He respects the danger [[human]]s present though, as they were the ones who managed to kill [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Some doubt Ravage's sentience, and there is debate on the degree to which he is a distinct entity, rather than an extension of Soundwave's will.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref>

==Fiction==
===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
After the [[crab spy]] successfully infiltrated [[NEST]] headquarters at [[Diego Garcia]], it made its way back to the sea where Ravage was waiting to pick it up. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

From his vantage point high in orbit above Earth, Ravage's master [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] located the last remaining shard of the [[All Spark]] in a [[NEST]] holding facility on [[Diego Garcia]], and dispatched Ravage to retrieve it. Launched from Soundwave's chest, Ravage plummeted through Earth's atmosphere in re-entry mode and impacted just off Diego Garcia's shore, bounding to land in the blink of an eye. Quickly and stealthily, the feline Decepticon knocked several of the base's security sensors offline to cover his approach, then proceeded to vomit a large quantity of [[microcon|small, metallic spheres]] down a ventilation shaft. Once inside the base, the spheres transformed and combined into "[[Reedman]]", who successfully stole the shard and returned to the surface to reunite with Ravage so the pair could make their escape. 

Ravage and the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] traveled by barge to the area of the sea in which [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was buried.  After diving over the side of the barge and reaching the bottom where Megatron's body rested, Ravage ejected [[Scalpel|the Doctor]] from a compartment in his chest.  While the Constructicons began to tear apart the "[[Ze little one|little one]]", Ravage was going for a swim, apparently enjoying the water. After the Doctor resurrected Megatron using the All Spark shard, Ravage and the Constructicons swam up to the surface following their revived leader.  

Some time later, Ravage joined the other Decepticons in searching for [[Sam Witwicky]] amid some [[Egypt]]ian ruins. The forces of NEST soon arrived, and battle broke out, during which Ravage attempted to take [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] by surprise following the Autobot's battle with [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]]. Unfortunately for Ravage, Bumblebee still had plenty of fight left in him, and he promptly dispatched the killer kitty by tearing out Ravage's own goo-covered spine. ''Ouch''. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==Toys==
===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Deluxe Class Toys====

*'''Soundwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-04'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 Ravage missile

:Soundwave comes with an intricately sculpted missile that appears to represent Ravage in transition form. He can't transform, though. Bummer.

*'''Ravage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number''

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class toys, Ravage transforms from "panther mode" into a [[transition form|"reentry mode."]]  (The "reentry mode" is exactly as involved as it looks.)  By pulling back on a lever located on the small of his back, Ravage's head will snap forward and his jaws will open; sliding the lever back and forth will reverse and reactivate the gimmick.

==Merchandise==

*'''Ravage Reveal''' [[Burger King]] free toy (2009)
:Ravage is revealed from his <s>hand grenade</s> <s>kitty toy</s> pod (presumably representing his reentry mode) with a flick of the wrist.  Or by manually holding the two halves of the pod apart so that Ravage pops out.  Oddly there are what appear to be four holes on either side of the pod, perhaps so Ravage has air holes to breathe through.

==Notes==
* Ravage and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] were part of an early draft for [[Transformers (2007)|''Transformers'']]. However, when Soundwave was changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and the initial jungle setting was replaced with a desert, Ravage was changed to [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].
*Whether through misinformation or to hide his identity, the Ravage deluxe figure shows up in the Wal-Mart computers as "TRA DLX WOLF". Of course, they're [[Andy Reid|not the first to make this mistake]].
*In the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' novelization, Ravage has a flying [[alternate mode]]. He flew out to the freighter where the four Constructicons were waiting and transformed on deck. While descending into the ocean, he was described as a sphere, so he might have two alternate modes. (His Burger King toy perhaps?)
* Despite having a red/orange eye in the movie, all the Ravage toys and merchandise have a purple one.
* On his blog, Furman said that Ravage's spine-torn death was a late addition to the film... so late that [[IDW Comics]] had already made Ravage a key part of their post-ROTF comics! Quick, to the Rewritemobile! [http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/next-up-%e2%80%94-transformers-nefarious/]
