| 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 in the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Ransack is often tasked for reconnaissance missions over Autobot encampments, and is well-known for his attack plans and calm demeanor. But once the fighting starts, Ransack fights back; disrupting Autobots from above with his magnetic field generator for stealth attacks. When shot down behind enemy lines, he transforms and battles to the death with his launchable rocket-powered propeller.
(Even though rockets powering a propeller seems like overkill.)
- European market name: Blitz
Fiction
Marvel Generation 2 comic
He helped Springer set up the "sky sniper" mines that turned out to be utterly useless against the Swarm. At least he tried.
Toys
Generation 2
- Ransack (Rotor Force, 1994)
- Accessories: Engine/gun, 2 x rotors
- Ransack transforms into a purple Chance Vought F4U Corsair with green pontoons/bombs underneath. As a Rotor Force toy, Ransack has a propeller that can be launched in vehicle and robot mode, the prop/engine portion of his plane mode becoming a hand-held weapon for robot mode.
- He came with two rotor discs, in case you lost one. (Considering how well they fly, good idea.) Early releases of Ransack and his partner Powerdive came with black-plastic rotor discs, but this was changed to red after a short while. The black-rotor version is much more uncommon.
Trivia
- Transformers Generation 2 #7 mis-spelled his name as "Ransak".
