Ransack (ROTF)

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 Revenge of the Fallen franchise portion of the live-action film continuity family.

So Hasbro said to themselves, "We can make just about anything for the movie line and people'll buy it? Well, let's go for friggin' broke."

Early in the development of flight technology on Cybertron, countless ages ago, Ransack was a pioneer. One of the first flying aces, his ruthlessness was feared by all. These days, though, he's old and outdated.

• Ransack (Scout Class, 2009)
  • Japanese ID number: RD-09

Ransack is part of the second wave of Revenge of the Fallen Scout Class figures. He transforms into a German Albatros D.III biplane. This means he's really awesome. He has a non-firing weapons on each arm and totally metal details around the very large Decepticon sigils on his wings. He can also assume a transitional "battle mode", which deploys his wings and prop in robot mode. The ball joints on his shoulders are especially loose, and the pegs that hold his hands in place in vehicle mode are much stronger. As such, his arms are going to pop off about 90% of the time while converting the figure.

Notes

• Ransack's Generation 2 counterpart also has a propeller-driven airplane alternate mode, though it's a single-wing fighter. The name Ransack has thus been used for both the only WWI era and WWII era Tranformer planes.
