Rav (DOTM)

This article is about the Dark of the Moon Mini-Con. For the Deployer, see Rav (BM).

Rav is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Okay, that's plenty obscene-looking.

In some ways, Rav's position as one of lowest ranked robots in the Autobot army is understandable. He's of only average intelligence, physically feeble, and worryingly fragile. However, that's only one side of the story. If you look past those things, you'll see that Rav is fast enough to swoop in past enemy lines and well-armed enough to make a difference when he gets there. This bot has the skills where they matter. What's more, despite his physical limitations, he's one of the bravest warriors you're ever likely to meet.

He might be friends with Triceradon, Dualor, and Catilla.

• Rav (Mini-Con, 2011)

Rav is a redeco of Classics Swoop, transforming into a robotic pteranodon. His colors are an homage to Swoop's cartoon appearance. He was only available individually as a shared "exclusive" between online retailers Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth and "market six" discount/closeout retailers. He was sold individually alongside Triceradon, Dualor and Catilla. His jointing allows him to stand on his hind-feet as well as assume a normal flying position.

A great many samples of Rav have their Powerlinx socket hideously warped to the point of uselessness. Be careful.

This mold was also used to make Reptix, and Universe Windrazor.

Notes

I wuv you DIS MUCH!

• Rav's cardback photo is hilariously mistransformed, making his ptero-mode claws into his robot-mode hands. Also, his beast-mode head is shoved down over his face.
