| The name or term "Ransack" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ransack (disambiguation). |
- Ransack is a Decepticon from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family (via the 2003 Universe toyline).
Ransack seems to live to antagonize the Autobot builder Smokescreen. Whenever Smokescreen finishes a new building or installation or piece of art, Ransack is lurking not too far away in the shadows, waiting to demolish it. It's kind of petty, really.
Ransack is partnered up with the Mini-Con Refute.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In Aurex 203.26 Zeta, Oil Slick, Ransack, and Refute were battling Swerve and Roadhandler when Unicron abducted them to be his Minions in the Universe War. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Universe (2003)
- Smokescreen with Liftor vs. Ransack with Refute (Battle in a Box, 2004)
- Ransack is a redeco of the Armada Hoist mold, transforming into a heavy shovel-arm digging machine. He was slightly retooled so the plate on his shovel-arm was flat rather than having a molded faction symbol. His shovel-arm is locked until a Mini-Con is placed on the Powerlinx plug on the top, which activates a "punching" gimmick. He was only available in a Battle in a Box multi-pack along with Smokescreen, Liftor, and Refute. This set was only available in "market six" stores like Kohl's.
- This mold has a common misassembly error; his left arm's ratchet-joint is off a notch, preventing the arm from "clicking" to a proper level-with-the-ground position in vehicle mode.
- This mold was also used for BotCon 2006 "Darksyde" Dinobot and Cybertron Longrack.
