Some say he was once a proud and honorable warrior, with a code of military ethics second to none. Whether or not this is true, that Decepticon certainly doesn't exist anymore.

- Carnivac's <A title="Character model"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Character_model">character model</A>, such as it was, varied a lot during the course of the Marvel comics, even when accounting for the widely variable styles of the UK book's many artists. (see right) Sometimes he changed appearances under the same artist and even in the same issue. Although virtually no rendition of him bore any resemblance to his toy's head, often his head is derived from his instruction booklet art. (see left)
- His personality is likewise at odds with the crazed lunatic portrayed by
his <A title=Bio href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bio">bio</A>; though he originally plans to kill Springer and the Wreckers "smiling", in practice he is more of an honorable warrior, eventually taking up an Autobot-like role of protecting the innocent. <BR clear=all> <A name=External_links></A> <H2><SPAN class=editsection>[<A title="Edit section: External links" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Carnivac&action=edit§ion=9">edit</A>]</SPAN> <SPAN class=mw-headline>External links</SPAN></H2>
