- 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 version of the 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's "Darksyde" Dinobot and Cybertron Longrack.
