: A limited-number (but still normal retail) [[redeco]] of [[Battle Ravage]] released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], Command Ravage transforms into a feline beast. Its mace-tail, connected to the body by a ball-and-socket joint, is designed to be easily removed and used as a hand-held flail. It comes with a clear-green/yellow cannon and large spring-loaded missile launcher, both of which store in its shoulders in [[beast mode]]. These pieces can combine into an "[[Energon weapon|Ultimate Energon Weapon]]" cannon with a scope that can be used by other Transformers toys.

Command Ravage is a Terrorcon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Command Ravages are a model of stealth-based Terrorcon drones who battle both the Autobots and Decepticons for precious energon.

During a raid on Jungle City, Alpha Q created a new stealth-type breed of Battle Ravage drones (along with "Shadowhawks Desert Type"). This enabled them to approach the installation without setting off any alarms. Unfortunately, the stealth-capable Terrorcons couldn't fool Kicker Jones and his unique sensitivity, and the young boy alerted the Autobots to the invasion.

  • Command Ravage (Energon Class, 2004)
  • Takara name: Command Jaguar Gentei Desert Type (コマンドジャガー限定デザートタイプ)
  • Takara ID number: SD-09
  • Takara release date: 18 March 2004
  • Accessories: "Leopard Cannon" spring-loaded missile launcher, "Night Eyes" cannon, "Tail Crush" tail/flail, missile, Decepticon energon chip
First released in the third wave of Takara's Super Link line as the "Command Jaguar Limited Desert Type", Command Ravage is a redeco of the Battle Ravage toy (using the later retool of the mold, with the locking peg/hole in the torso assembly), transforming into a robotic predatory cat. Moving his outer chest during transformation automatically swings his arms and beast-mode head into the proper positions. His beast mode tail can also detach to become a hand-held flail weapon, the ball-joint having a 5 mm diameter.
He comes with a pair of clear-plastic "energon" cannons: one that fires a spring-loaded missile, the other a non-firing accessory that greatly resembles the fusion cannon used by Generation 1 Megatron. The non-firing cannon has a Mini-Con-style Powerlinx port, letting it activate Armada-mold Powerlinx gimmicks. These two pieces can be combined to form the "Energy Rifle" ultimate energon weapon. He also comes with a clear-plastic "energon chip" which can be attached to pretty much every new-mold Energon toy's spark crystal, locating his on his robot chest/jaguar back.
Though it was part of the normal wide-release Super Link retail line, it had a much smaller run than the previous regular "Command Jaguar". It comes on a regular Command Ravage card with the normal-release paperwork, but with silver-foil stickers over the ID number portions of the card and a new cardboard bubble insert, giving it the new name and number.
This toy was later released in the fifth wave of Hasbro's Energon toyline "Energon Class" toys (basically "Basics"). This version is mostly identical to the Takara release, except the peachy-tan accent paint has been replaced with a metallic bronze/gold. And, of course, it was released in much greater numbers.

Notes

[edit]
  • This breed of Terrorcon was never aligned with the Decepticons in the cartoon, but the toy itself and its packaging have Decepticon insignias.
  • The Battle/Command Ravage mold is clearly a homage to Generation 1 Ravage.
  • Pre-release samples of the Command Jaguar Limited Desert Type toy had red energon. The final product had the same yellow as the normal Hasbro Battle Ravage.
  • Command Jaguar Desert Type is the only one of the "Limited" Terrorcons (and Omnicons!) to have new paint layouts rather than just color-changed versions of the same layouts.
  • Being a redressing of the original Battle Ravage, Command Ravage's CGI model used in the cartoon appears to either be flipped or the weapons of the model were designed for the opposite sides of the beast mode when compared to the actual toy, which is somewhat strange as the weapons can be found on the correct sides in robot mode, à la Animated Bumblebee's racing stripe. It is unknown if an older prototype of the toy existed where the weapons were able to connect on opposite sides or whether the animators were just given reversed toy images to work from. The robot mode model still has the weapons placed on the respective shoulders, which suggests the later may have occurred. The Planet Q native model recolors also suffered this fate.
