| 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.
IDW comics continuity
Ransack was held as a prisoner in the Garrus-9 penitentiary complex overseen by Fortress Maximus, stripped down to his spark and held in a tiny box for an as-of-yet unknown crime or offense.
Ransack's identity as the prisoner here is presumptive, as the Insecticon Ransack has been seen to have been free in the reletively recent past. Though he of course might have been captured since.
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".
