The name or term "Evac" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Evac (disambiguation).
Evac is an Autobot from the Transformers: The Ride – 3D portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Please make sure your lap bar is securely fastened and keep your hands and arms inside the car and outside of Ravage at all times.

Evac is a little new at this, but don't worry. He's had plenty of NEST training, and the last thing he's going to do now that he's finally getting his shot at the front lines is let something happen to his cargo, whether it's Autobot MechTech technology, a load of new NEST recruits, or even the last shard of the AllSpark! He's as quick and as nimble as they come, but his combat training means he can hold his own in a firefight, too.

In theory, anyway.

Fiction

Transformers: The Ride – 3D

Voice actor: Dustin James Leighton (English)

Evac's first important mission on Earth began at a NEST base at Universal Studios, where he was assigned to transport you, your fellow trainees, and the last remaining shard of the AllSpark. Unfortunately, before he could get underway, Ravage broke into the base and attempted to steal the shard. Bumblebee was able to fight the Decepticon off and get the shard to Evac, who (along with his passengers) blasted free of the base and out into the city streets. With the help of Optimus Prime and Sideswipe, Evac survived a gauntlet of Decepticons including Grindor, Sideways, Bonecrusher and even the gargantuan Devastator.

Unfortunately, his escape from Devastator left him in the clutches of Starscream. Escaping with the aid of NEST helicopters, Evac attempted to help Optimus defeat Megatron high atop a building, but the two were ultimately forced to sacrifice the AllSpark shard to win, with Evac driving it into his enemy's chest and sending his lifeless body to the streets below. Evac fell as well but was saved by Bumblebee. He was then congratulated by Optimus and returned to NEST, passing under megatron's body smashed through the pavement and told the recruits they could ride with him anytime.

Toys

Cyberverse

Remain seated please. Permanecer sentados por favor.
  • Evac (Cyberverse Legion, 2012)
    • Series / Number: 2 / 009
    • Japanese ID number: EZ-13
    • Accessories: Blaster
Part of the second wave of Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Evac transforms into an enclosed-canopy version of his Transformers: The Ride – 3D "supercar" vehicle mode. He comes with a translucent red double-barreled blaster which he can either hold or mount in various 3mm ports on his body.
His blaster, in varying colors, was also used by Bumblebee, Arcee, Hyperspeed Wheeljack, Autobot Tailgate and the redeco of Bumblebee that comes with the Bumblebee Battle Suit.
The United States market release of Evac used the Transformers: Prime-based Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class packaging style but lacked the "Prime" moniker. The multilingual European market packaging, meanwhile, retained the Prime title.
Furthermore, the stock photos featured on the back of his packaging (which depict a hand-painted prototype) place his Autobot insignia on the left side of his hood/chest, whereas the final product has it tampographed at the front, slightly to the right.


Seriously, this toy is virtually impossible to neatly place under one specific toy line.
  • Evac (Cyberverse Legion, 2012)
    • Accessories: Blaster
An unchanged version of Evac was also available in Transformers: Universal Studios packaging, sold exclusively at (where else?) Universal Studios theme park stores. This version is co-branded Universal Studios and Cyberverse.


Universal Studios

The only Transformer you can actually be inside of.
  • Evac (Deluxe, 2012)
    • Accessories: Abdomen blasters
Universal Studios Deluxe Class Evac is a larger-scale toy. He features molded seats where passengers and ride-goers would sit in the real thing, and is armed with four non-firing guns: one on each arm, and two on the sides of his abdomen, the latter of which end up inside his vehicle mode grille. In an undocumented, possibly unintended feature, the abdomen guns can detach and are molded together on a rod which can fit in his hand, due to the fact that his hands are molded to accommodate 5mm posts. His shoulders, forearm guns, and heels/vehicle roof feature C joints.

Notes

  • Evac has a pretty exciting life for a guy with only one fictional appearance. And it's all for your enjoyment!
  • The vehicle riders sit in is styled after his vehicle mode.
  • Evac's design is a modified version of Roadbuster, with a new head (resembling Sideswipe) and altered vehicle kibble.
  • His Cyberverse Legion Class toy (the version in Universal Studios packaging) features different package art compared to his Deluxe Class toy, as well as a different set of Tech Specs.
  • The final version of Evac's Deluxe Class figure lacks the weapon shown in images of the prototype, as well as the 5mm port for it in the roof.
