Ravage (G1)
| This article is about the Generation 1 Decepticon. For the Energon Terrorcon, see Battle Ravage (UT). |
Ravage is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity and a Predacon in the Beast Era. He is a chronic time-traveler.
No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to Megatron than Ravage. Ravage believes unwaveringly in the Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause. To serve Megatron, Ravage has become the most efficient and deadly war machine under his command. He hides himself in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with grim accuracy. His name is synonymous with stealth. His survivors are few.
Ravage's only weakness is bright light, which can temporarily blind him. Perhaps his absolute loyalty to Megatron can blind him as well.

Ravage was loyal bodyguard for the Overlords, the Autobots that once ruled all of Cybertron, for Generations. He witnessed as their planet-wide rule crumbled into a loose collection of feuding city-states.
During the Vos-Tarn war, Ravage, his partner Nightstalker, Megatron and Optimus Prime.
While escorting the last Overlord, an enfeebled mechanoid who required constant re-energization to survive, out of the city of Tarn during the Vos-Tarn war, they were pinned down. Though the Overlord was near death, Ravage refused to give the Overlord any of his energy, instead allying himself with Megatron, whom he believed would be the future ruler of Cybertron.

Ravage immediately recognized what a hydro electric station was, a method of generating power used on Cybertron "way way back in the mists of time," when Transformers were not much more advanced in science than humans are now.
This indicates that Ravage is among the oldest of the Decepticons. Even Megatron only feigned familiarity with this form of technology.
