Editing Ravage (G1)/toys

You've got a lot of toys, haven't you? [[Ravage (G1)|You cute widdle kitty!]]

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1Ravage toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Behold... the world&#39;s skinniest jaguar.]]
* '''Ravage / Rumble''' (Cassette, 1984/1985/1986/1987)
** ''Japanese name:'' '''Jaguar''' (Cassette, 1984/1985/1986/1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''19''', '''D-59''', '''D-104'''
**''Accessories:'' Left &amp; right missiles, tape case ('85 Takara only)

: The first Ravage toy transforms from a robotic jaguar into a micro-cassette.  In cassette mode, he can fit into the tape compartments of the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] toys. For his [[Hasbro]] release, he was sold as a two-pack on a card along with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in 1984-1986, and as an individual toy by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] from 1985-1987; the '85 version came with an extra clear-plastic tape-case, but later releases omitted the accessory. In Europe, [[Milton Bradley]] also released Ravage all by himself.

: This mold was later used to make [[Glit]] and [[Howlback]].

===Beast Wars===
[[Image:BW-toy ShadowPanther.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Fuzzy kitty!]]
* '''Tripredacus Agent''' (Deluxe, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-7'''
**''Accessories:'' Tail-gun, water-shooting gun

: This originally Japanese toy, named [[Shadow Panther]], is a [[redeco]] of the original [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] toy in black, silver, and yellow, transforming into a generic big feline. His tail/flanks separate to form a non-firing blaster, while his underbelly forms a water-shooting "gut gun" that can be used in either mode.

: Much later, this toy was offered through Hasbro's online collector service under the name "'''Tripredacus Agent'''", with an online bio indicating he was the same character as Ravage (then called "Tripredacus Agent" due to [[trademark]] issues).

: This mold was also used to make [[Tigatron]], and was planned to be used for the canceled ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toy [[Nightprowler]].

* '''Tripredacus Agent''' (Deluxe, 2001)
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile, tail-flail

: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] is a redeco of—wait, can you guess?—[[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Transmetal 2 Cheetor]], in black, silver, and gold, transforming into a monstrous techno-organic (but not [[technorganic]]) big cat. He has a spring-loaded missile launcher on his cat-mode back that can be removed and used as a hand-held weapon, plus his tail detaches to form a hand-held flail. His left forearm has a flip-up blaster-shield (of dubious usefulness), while flipping up a panel on his right-rear leg reveals his [[spark crystal]].

====Beast Wars Metals====
{{anchor|Metals}}
[[Image:JaguarX9 toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Metal kitty!]]
* '''Jaguar''' (Beast Wars Metals Deluxe-sized toy, 1999)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''X-9'''
**''Accessories'': Tail-whip, left &amp; right pistol barrels

: ''Beast Wars Metals'' Jaguar is a heavy [[Retool|retooling]] of [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Transmetal Cheetor]], just as Ravage's robot mode CG model in the show is an altered [[Transmetal]] Cheetor. He transforms into a robotic big cat, with flip-out thrusters for a third "flight" mode (not, as in the episode, into a cassette tape that plays wicked 1980s style electric guitar, for obvious reasons). His forearms each have a spring-loaded flip out pistol stub, which can be extended with add-on barrels that clip to his rear legs in beast mode. His tail also can detach to form a whip-weapon, but he doesn't hold it very well.

: This mold was used to make [[BotCon 2001]]'s version of [[Tigatron]]. The original version was used to make ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], and as the basis for the non-toy character [[Cataclysm (BW)|Cataclysm]].

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
[[Image:STFRavage.jpg|right|200px|thumb|So tiny... So CUTE!]]
* '''Soundwave''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 05'''

: The ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' version of Soundwave comes with a ''teeeeeny'' version of Ravage, which does actually transform into a microcassette that fits in the tape-case door. ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' Ravage may very well be the actual smallest functioning ''Transformers'' toy made.

:He's relatively the size of a ''penny''.

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[Image:AlternatorsRavage%28Corvette%29.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He brakes for Meow Mix and nothing else...well, sometimes nip.]]
* '''Battle Ravage''' (2004)
** ''Japanese name:'' '''Ravage'''
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''11'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine-blaster

: A retool of ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Tracks (G1)|Autobot Tracks]], "Battle" Ravage transforms ([[trademark]] struggles) into a 1:24-scale licensed replica of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible, with opening doors, hood, trunk, plus a "realistic" driver/passenger compartment. Each robot-mode forearm contains slide-out (non-firing) double blasters. A part of his engine forms a double-barreled hand-held blaster.

: The Tracks hardtop version of this mold was also used to make ''Alternators'' [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], whereas the convertible version originally used for Ravage was used as the basis for the one-of-a-kind [[Michael Bay|BayBot]].

: The Japanese ''Binaltech'' version of the toy is notable for sporting the American name "Ravage" rather than the established Japanese name, "Jaguar", for [[trademark]] reasons.

[[Image:Alternatorsravagejaguar.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Soundwave had MTV pimp his kitty.]]
*'''Ravage''' (Alternator, 2007)
**''Alternator ID number'': '''26'''

: The second version of ''Alternators'' Ravage transforms into a 1:24-scale licensed Jaguar XK (appropriately enough), with all the normal bells and whistles inherent in the line (opening doors, seats, etc). This is a toy of many "firsts". Not only is it the first ''Alternators'' character with two distinctly different toys, it's one of the first two Decepticon Alternators with an original mold (alongside [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]). ''And'' it's the first ''Alternators'' character to have a non-humanoid "robot" mode, as its non-car form is now a quadrupedal big cat.

: After Ravage had been released in various European markets, his and Rumble's releases in the United States were questionable for a while. Ultimately, they were shuffled to be Wal-Mart [[exclusive]]s, set in an endcap display alongside the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Devastator (G1)|Constructicon Devastator]] exclusive gift set in March/April 2007...in some stores. In others, they were crammed in the normal aisle with everything else. Assuming they even showed up at all.

: On this note, Ravage has a [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] license plate, regardless of which country the toy was purchased in. The steering wheel, however, is on the left, as in the United States. I say, ''meow.''

===Transformers Collection===
[[Image:G1Jaguar%28reissue%29.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A light breeze is enough to defeat him.]]
*'''Soundblaster''' (Transformers Collection, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''18'''
**''Accessories:'' Left &amp; right missiles, tape case

: The ''[[Transformers Collection]]'' [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]] of [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundblaster]] (the rebuilt form of Soundwave from the Japanese [[The Headmasters (franchise)|''Headmasters'' series]]) came with bonus "Cassettrons" Jaguar (Ravage) and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Both came with their own extra tape-cases, and had small stickers depicting the "weak points" of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] when viewed through the clear-red chest of Soundblaster's tape door.
{{-}}

===Classics (2006)===
*'''Soundwave''' (Decepticon, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left &amp; right missiles

: Hasbro's ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]''-themed reissue of Soundwave is a [[redeco]] of the Transformers Collection Soundblaster, coming with the double-tape door and both Ravage and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] as pack-ins.
{{-}}

===Titanium Series===
*'''Soundblaster''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes)
:A ''[[Titanium Series]]'' version of the Cybertron Heroes "Soundblaster", a redeco of the Cybertron Heroes [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]], was supposed to come with a tiny Ravage cassette/jaguar, as opposed to the original toy's tiny [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. However, this and several other toys from the series were canceled.

===Universe (2008)===
====Deluxe Class====
[[Image:Ravageuniverse2008.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I&#39;m finally 3D now, but in exchange for some poseability.]]
*'''Autobot Hound''' (Deluxe, 2008)

:Surprisingly enough, the new-mold toy of Deluxe Class [[Hound (G1)|Autobot Hound]] for the 25th anniversary of the Transformers brand features a similarly new-mold toy of Ravage, which can be carried in "tape mode" on pegs in the back bed of Hound's vehicle form.  In this mode, Ravage is compatible with either the original Soundwave or Soundblaster, and in jaguar mode, the 5mm holes can accommodate the weapons of the original Ravage (Even though there are tiny unpainted versions of the weapons above his hips).

:At [[BotCon 2008]], Hasbro claimed that Ravage's alternate mode would be marketed as a "capture mode" so that young children, unsavvy about technology from fifteen years before they were born, wouldn't be confused. Despite the toy arguably still treating Ravage as "captured" by Hound, the packaging only refers to Ravage's alternate mode as a "tape mode."
{{-}}

*'''Soundwave''' (2009)

: In 2009, Ravage was included with yet another reissue of Soundwave as part of the ''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, this time as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive that was prominently offered at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. Included were his weapons and his own cassette case.
{{-}}

===Henkei! Henkei!===
*'''Hound''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-13'''

:A [[redeco]] of Universe Ravage, Jaguar features the same plastic colors as his Universe counterpart, only his legs are a significantly darker metallic gray than the Hasbro version (so much so they almost look black in certain lights).

{{-}}

===Device Label===
*'''Ravage''' (Device Label, 2009)
[[Image:Device Label Ravage.jpg|thumb|right|200px|From a data storage device often used to store music, to a data storage device often used to store music.  Some things never change.]]
:''[[Device Label]]'' Ravage transforms from a working USB 2 gigabyte thumb drive into a black mechanoid panther.  

[[Image:DeviceLabeltoy-Ravagedesktop.jpg|left|thumb|300px|$50 for a 2 gig thumb drive was a lot to ask for until we learned about this.]]

:Stored on the USB drive is an installable program called "Transformers Desktop Defender."  When the Ravage device is plugged in, a Ravage avatar appears on the screen, transforming from thumb drive to jaguar mode as the program is activated.  The program's setup allows you to rename your jaguar to anything you desire, alter the avatar's movement speed and his personality, decide whether he eats your desktop icons, and view his function, mission, and [[tech spec]] numbers.  Whether he appears as Ravage or Tigatron can be selected as well.

:This mold was also used to make ''Device Label'' [[Tigatron]], and he came preloaded with the same program.  It was later used to make [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] as well.

==Merchandise==
===Wallet===
*'''Ravage Wallet'''

: Released in 1984 as one of the earliest Transformers merchandise items, this vinyl wallet featured a holographic image that changed from Ravage's [[package art]] to the Decepticon version of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] Transformers [[logo]].

===Decoy===
*'''Ravage''' (Decoy, 1986)
**''Decoy ID number'': '''49'''

: Coming packaged at random on carded ''Transformers'' toys during 1986, this is a soft-rubber version of Ravage in his jaguar mode. He—like all Decepticon [[Decoy|Decoys]]—was available in both purple and red, with the red version being considerably rarer. These are not erasers!

===Hard Hero===
[[Image:HardHero Ravage statue.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Classy cat!]]
*'''Ravage''' (2003)

:[[Hard Hero]]'s Ravage is a 5-inch tall, 8.5-inch wide cold-cast porcelain statue. It was limited to 2000 pieces and advertised as "first in the Decepticon Cassette Series", but ultimately no other Mini-Cassette statues were ever produced.

:Ravage was also available in a shiny "metallic" version, of which only 500 statues were produced.
{{-}}

===Statue===
[[Image:Gijoebaronessravagestatue.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Admit it, you wish you were Ravage right now.]]
*'''Baroness & Ravage Statue'''

:At the 2006 UK Toy Fair, [[First 4 Figures]] revealed a statue of The [[Baroness]] and Ravage based on the art from the Convention Edition of [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3]]. However, this statue will not be released[http://www.theterrordrome.com/2009/03/first-4-figures-baroness-ravage-statue-canceled/]—which is sad, since ''it's awesome''.

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Ravage robotheroes.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Wavage!]]
*'''Optimus Prime and Ravage''' (Robot Heroes 2-pack, 2007)

: Released in 2007 as a [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] vs. pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime]]. Ravage is ''adowable''!
{{-}}

===3D Battle-Card===
[[Image:Ravage Battle Card.jpg|right|80px|thumb|Flat Cat.]]
*'''Ravage''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card ID number'': 

: A 23-point "uncommon" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Ravage "transforms" into a black cat.  He uses the same parts layout as [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]], [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] and [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Primal]].
{{-}}
===Transformers - Mini Bust===
[[Image:DiamondSelect FrenzyRavage bust.JPG|right|200px|thumb|]]
* '''Frenzy & Ravage''' (Diamond Select, 2009)

:Ravage is sculpted pouncing alongside a cartoon-colored [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in this bust. Sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]], it was an [[exclusive]] to the online retailer BigBadToyStore and limited to 600 pieces worldwide. Frenzy's tape mode is sculpted at the front of the bust's base.
