Fiction
Shattered Glass
When the Ark launched for a second time, Ravage accompanied Soundwave to Earth in the pursuit on the Nemesis, and his escape pod landed near Soundwave's after the ship was shot down by the humans. He then joined in on the search for the Nemesis. The Desert Heat!
When Soundwave, Heatwave, Ravage, and Frenzy finally located the Nemesis's crash site, they noticed a team of scientists snooping around. Ravage decided to have fun with two of them, Will and Rick, by chasing them around playfully, waving at them, quipping at them in LOLspeak, and text-messaging them so they'd notice he was sneaking up behind them. Eventually Soundwave and Heatwave transformed to deal with and calm down the panicked humans. When Frenzy arrived with the other two, Professor Arkeville and Sephie, he told Ravage things would have gone more smoothly if he hadn't acted like, well, himself. Ravage reacted indignantly to the chastisement.
Ravage ended up getting along famously with Sephie, who understood his odd Netspeak and internet obsessions (both of which merely baffled the other Decepticons), and happily purred at and snuggled up to her attentions. When the Decepticons made their attack to free Burpleson Air Force Base from the Autobots' control, Cliffjumper paired them together since Sephie was the only one who could "shut [Ravage] up".
The two were among the ones able to sneak into the base while riding in Soundwave, with the help of a cover story from Will and Rick. They then all split up, with Sephie and Ravage heading towards the control room. Before they could get there, however, they ran into Wheeljack, who Ravage cheerfully waved at from the middle of the hallway. However, when the crazy inventor started ranting and pounding the walls, he sensibly took off running with Sephie.
They eventually managed to lose Wheeljack, but by that point Heatwave had already managed to talk the base's transmitter into evacuating the base in preparation for destroying it with the Global Orbital Defense Satellite, so Sephie and Ravage opted for getting out of there themselves. Eye in the Sky
When Soundwave was busy trying to find where Blitzwing had run off to, Ravage informed him that someone had posted on their Yatter account that there was a giant robot near their house, enabling Soundwave to arrive just in the nick of time to save the wayward Decepticon from Blaster. Blitzwing Bop
Recordicons
Ravage and Thundercracker were ambushed by a group of Autobots including Optimus Prime and Rodimus. The event would later become known (probably only by Ravage) as Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction. Recordicons #3
Ravage recounted the Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction tale to Buzzsaw, who pedantically pointed out several incorrect details about the title. Recordicons #3 Recordicons #4
Toys
Kiss Players
- Cassettron Set Kiss Players Position (Multi-pack, 2006)
- Accessories: Left & right "multifunctional medical tool boxes"
- Kiss Players Glit was officially repurposed as Shattered Glass Ravage. A redeco of the original Ravage mold, he transforms from a microcassette that can fit into the tape door of the Soundwave and Blaster toys to a robot jaguar. He was available only in an e-Hobby exclusive set with Rosanna and Sundor, which also came with a bonus music CD. The Cassettron set was released during the second week of March 2007.
- This mold was also used to make Howlback.
Timelines
- Double Punch and Turbomaster (BotCon 2010 souvenir set)
- An honest-to-god nonrepurposed Shattered Glass Ravage toy, a redeco of Universe Ravage, transforms into a "cassette", or "capture mode" according to the original version of the mold's instructions. This mode fits onto the back of his mold-partner "Turbomaster" via a pair of clips on the vehicle mode that fit into the tape spools. In this mode, Ravage is compatible with either the original Soundwave (and similar toys), and in jaguar mode, the 5mm holes can accommodate Glit's weapons or those of the original Ravage (even though there are tiny versions of the weapons above his hips).
- He was sold in a BotCon 2010 souvenir set along with Double Punch and "Turbomaster". Unlike those two, Ravage didn't come with a bio card, probably because we know way too much about Ravage already! Timelines Ravage, like his set-mates, is limited to 1500 pieces.
Notes
- Shattered Glass Ravage was conceived as a humorous fan-character by David Willis, as a silly inversion of Generation 1 Ravage's role as a quiet, stealthy spy. The character gained a bit of a following when Willis set up Twitter and Facebook pages for him as part of the joke, leading to his being officialized with a profile in issue 26 of the Transformers Collectors' Club magazine.
- The blue-and-white jaguar whose corpse appears in Drift #2 was drawn into the issue by Alex Milne at the apparent urging of a friend, who envisioned it as Shattered Glass Ravage and sought to annoy David Willis (who was more amused than anything) by killing him.[4] Because we're a bunch of nerds who'd rather have a bit of fun with it, we've listed it as an appearance of Generation 1 Glit since Drift #2 is a Generation 1-based story and not a Shattered Glass one.
- He's the one that's waving!
