| |
| * {{anchor|Recordicons #7}} Ravage's future self travels back in time to warn himself not to waste his life on the [[Internet]]. This goes about as well as could be expected. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 40|Recordicons #7}}

| * {{anchor|Recordicons #8}} Hipster [[Laserbeak (SG)|Laserbeak]] is listening to a song by an obscure artist, but when Ravage turns out to not only have [[Rosanna (SG)|Rosanna]] friended on Yatter, but to have contributed to the [[Look At Me I Am Waving (Double Trance Mix)|song in question]], Laserbeak can't enjoy it as much any more. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 41|Recordicons #8}}

When Ratbat offers to deal with any unfinished business that his counterpart left behind, it turns out to be office paperwork. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 44|Recordicons #11}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #12}} Heroic Ravage joins up with the equally heroic [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and is happy to meet lots of new Recordicon friends, though he stays a safe distance from [[Blockrock]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 45|Recordicons #12}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #13}} When Steeljaw points out to Ravage that another Steeljaw must exist, Ravage erroneously concludes that the mirror Steeljaw must be his worst enemy and the encounter with the heroic and actually friendly [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]] does not go well. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 46|Recordicons #13}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #14}} Following an accident, Ravage is warned by [[Glit (SG)|Glit]] about the dangers of texting and driving.

| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #16}} [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] picks up his bar tab, only to find that his name's been misspelled "lazerbeak", something he complains makes him look like an illiterate loser.

| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #18}} Ravage reminds Steeljaw that the Autobot had used the excuse that he was too busy solar recharging to be Ravage's friend.

| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #19}} [[Squawktalk (SG)|Squawktalk]] begins shouting strange phrases, leading Ravage to suggest that [[Beastbox (SG)|Beastbox]] might want to look into an anti-virus. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 52|Recordicons #19}}

| *{{anchor|Recordicons #21}} Batbot is suddenly confronted by [[Howlback (G1)|Howlback]] who objects to his heroic crusade, but Batbot is joined by [[Nightprowler]].

| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #22}} [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]] claims he's the most ferocious and deadly Recordicon, but [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] begs to differ. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 55|Recordicons #22}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #23}} Observing [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] perching on [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]'s shoulder, negative universe Laserbeak labels him a poser for perching on who ever's trendy. When Ravage points out he used to do that with their [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], Laserbeak asserts that was before Megatron sold out and began fighting a civil war like all the other [[sheepitron]]s. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 56|Recordicons #23}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #24}} ''Classicsverse'' Laserbeak and Buzzsaw decide their Ravage has gone crazy because he thinks [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] arrived on the ''Shattered Glass'' Earth in the past, was [[Beast Wars Shattered Glass|rebuilt as a giant creature and fought some beasts]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 57|Recordicons #24}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #25}} Ravage asks Laserbeak what music he listens to, causing the latter to begin a pretentious speech about the relative worthiness of music, only to be cut short because Sir Soundwave needs his guitar mode with which to rock out on stage. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 58|Recordicons #25}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #26}} [[Air Hammer]] tries to get the scoop from Lazorbeak on which Predacons are Recordicons in new bodies, and which are just name reuses. Lazorbeak doesn't have all the answers, but he's pretty sure the projectile-vomiting [[Soundwave (BW)|Soundwave]] on the next stool isn't the original. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 59|Recordicons #26}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #27}} Following [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]]'s death, [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] sets [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] up on a blind date with [[Eject (G1)|Eject]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 61|Recordicons #27}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #28}} [[Hound (SG)|Hound]] and [[Mirage (SG)|Mirage]] have a hint-laden conversation in front of Ravage, before "accidentally" dropping a key near his cage. Ravage reaches a paw out to the key, then extends a metal stick from his wrist which he uses to take a selfie. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 62|Recordicons #28}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Recordicons #29}} Ravage is on guard, however the Autobots distract him with a laser pointer, and the Decepticons are soon "enjoying" a dip in a [[smelting pool]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 63|Recordicons #29}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| *Like ''[[Around Cybertron]]'' #6, Recordicons #9 features a news ticker along the bottom of the panels using the [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]] font first seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]". It reads "-LTIVERSAL TRAVELER VECTOR PRIME ALWAYS LIES ABOUT FIVE FACES OF DARKNE-", no doubt a reference to an "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" segment from ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' in which Vector Prime named the previous leaders seen in [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]]'s [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] flashback in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]". In a later iteration of Ask Vector Prime, he responded that he doesn't intentionally lie, though he can make mistakes, and that a Vector Prime who regularly visits negative-polarity universes may well lie on the subject.

| * Recordicons #14 features Ravage driving the ATV from the ''[[Kre-O]]'' Decepticon Ambush set.
