Blackcat (G1)

This article is about the heroic Autobot. For his evil counterpart, see Blackcat (SG).

Blackcat is an Autobot, presumably a Mini-Cassette, from the Generation 1 continuity family.

This is all you'll ever see of me!

Blackcat, despite his name, is green. He seems to spend most of his time in the Ark making puzzles.

Fiction

Transformers Comic-Magazin

Blackcat was on night watch duty in the Ark. Bored, he used the computer to create a puzzle featuring a red and yellow truck attacking a strangely colored Blurr. If you completed the puzzle in under a minute, he would think that you were swell. Transformers Comic-Magazin #18

Toys

G.I. Joe and the Transformers

• G.I. Joe featuring Ninja Force and Transformers (2016)

A primarily-green redeco of the San Diego Comic-Con 2013 exclusive Ravage figure (minus the chain and collar accessories), "Autobot Black Cat" is a non-transforming figure scaled to interact with G.I. Joe figures. His only articulation is a ball-jointed neck offering a rather limited range of mobility. His forepaws are red (inspired by the bizarre color scheme of a Ravage look-alike on the covers of two different German Transformers Comic Magazin issues; see below) while his hind paws are green. For additional contrast, he has been given several black highlights.

He was only available as part of a box set that was sold through both the Transformers Collectors' Club store and the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club store, both of them operated by Fun Publications. Other figures and accessories included in the box set were Ninja Force Scarlett, Cobra Commander, Dr. Sidney Biggles-Jones, Ratbat, Megatron, and Toaster.

Notes

Cover cat

• Blackcat's appearance is traced from a panel in "The Last Stand". Traced artwork of Ravage that ISN'T his package art/model sheet? What madness is this, Germany?
• Blackcat enjoys making puzzles and can use computers. Being a Ravage redeco, he has no opposable thumbs. Poor guy.
• Blackcat seems to be an Autobot sentry, posted at the Ark. He spends his time making puzzles. He pretends to work, they pretend to pay him.
• A green Ravage-type with red forepaws appears on the covers of Transformers Comic-Magazin #4 and #6. Could these be other appearances of Blackcat? The Collectors' Club seems to have thought so.
