Rav (BM)

Rav is a Maximal in the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Rav is a reformatted ancient task drone who was found by Nightscream. As one of the Deployers, he is capable of quick transformation abilities. He's a quiet scout with a penchant for singing musically to Nightscream, because Nightscream wasn't annoying enough.

I'm different!

All three Deployers were given "running change" redecoes. This version of Rav is blue and navy blue, and retains all his original features.

This toy was later fictionally retconned into Chro.

Trivia

• The running-change redecoes of the Deployers were originally meant to be renamed as new characters, but ultimately came out with their original names. What happened is unknown, but the name for the Rav redeco "Chro" (or sometimes "Cro") made it to "canon" via retcon in the 3H Wreckers comics.

• Rav's bio makes a veiled reference to the ancient Autobot Beta.
