- Ravage is a Decepticon cassette from the Generation 1 continuity family.
No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to Megatron than Ravage. One of Soundwave's most reliable spies, Ravage believes unwaveringly in the Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause. To better serve Megatron and the Decepticons, 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.
Sometimes he's a talker, other times he just growls or hisses at anything that isn't Megatron or Soundwave.
At various times, Ravage has been referred to as Tripredacus Agent, Tri-Predacus Agent, or Black Panther Man (クロヒョウマン Kurohyō Man). It's all very confusing.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel The Transformers comics
Ravage was a 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. Like ancient Rome, the last Overlord barely managed to hold together the autocracy through the gladiatorial games, which allowed the city-states to vent their frustrations over low fuel supplies on each other in scripted, controlled conflicts. A war broke out between Vos and Tarn, however, and Ravage and his partner Nightstalker attempted to escort the Overlord to safety. Joined by the gladiators Megatron and Optimus Prime, their journey was perilous. The Overlord was now an enfeebled mechanoid who required constant re-energization to survive, and constantly slowed them down. After Prime raced ahead to get help, Nightstalker self-destructed himself in a final loyal act to defend the Overlord, leaving the ruler alone with Megatron and Ravage. 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. State Games
As a member of Megatron's Decepticons, Ravage attempted to hijack the Ark four million years ago, only to fail and fall into deactivation sleep until 1984. The detonation of the volcano, Mount St. Hilary, reactivated the Autobots and Decepticons, unleashing their war on Earth. The two factions soon found themselves battling on the site of a drive-in movie theatre, where Ravage was able to distract Hound from determining the location of Bumblebee, who had gone missing. The Transformers The Decepticons found themselves in need of energy, so Megatron ordered Ravage to investigate Harrison Nuclear Power Plant. Jumping into one of the plant worker's cassette recorders, he learned not only of the energy-harnessing technology of this new world, but that its primary inhabitants were not the vehicles they transformed into, but their weird organic operators! Ravage and the other Decepticons immediately attacked Harrison Nuclear and claimed it for themselves. Afterwards, Ravage concealed himself within the boom box of "O", the friend of Buster Witwicky, and learned that Buster had allied himself with the Autobots. He quickly returned to Megatron to report this information, and the Decepticons launched another attack, this time on Buster's neighborhood. Ravage jumped Mirage, and the reluctant Autobot wrestled with the Decepticon until Ravage was knocked away by Brawn. The Decepticons retreated after kidnapping Buster's father, Sparkplug Witwicky. Power Play! Ravage returned with his comrades to the Decepticons' new base, constructed out of materials salvaged from Harrison Nuclear, and coerced Sparkplug into converting Earth fuel into a substance they could use. Soon, their base was infiltrated by Gears and the amazing Spider-Man, and although the latter was as fast and agile as Ravage, the former put Ravage out of the fight with a punch. Prisoner of War!
Shortly into their stay on Earth, the ever-treacherous Starscream attempted to build up support against Megatron by demanding action when Megatron cautioned patience, knowing his fellow Decepticons were getting restless for battle. Fearing that an outright execution of Starscream would turn popular opinion against him, Megatron asked Ravage to spy on the Seeker and find him an excuse to get rid of Starscream. Ravage was discovered, though, and critically injured by Starscream during their fight. Ravage managed to crawl home across the desert, however, and reported the betrayal to Megatron. Having dishonored himself by attacking his fellow Decepticon, Starscream was forced to engage in a trial by combat with the Autobot Brawn, who had fallen into a similar situation by unrelated circumstances. After defeating Brawn in combat and flying back to Decepticon headquarters to declare his victory, Starscream was shot down by the vengeful Ravage on Megatron's orders. Ravage reported the Autobots were responsible for the attack, and thus Megatron was able to galvanize the Decepticons for battle himself, effectively stealing Starscream's thunder and punishing the mutineer in the process. The Enemy Within!
As the Decepticons assaulted the Ark, Ravage fought against the magnetic Autobot Windcharger, employing his own electromagnetic shield to protect himself from his opponent's powers. When Optimus Prime attempted to awaken the ship's computer Auntie during the battle, however, she awoke in a scrambled state and turned against all the Transformers, using magnetic force to hold all the combatants against her hull... except for Ravage and Windcharger. Forced to work together for the benefit of both their armies, they managed to deactivate Auntie. Raiders of the Last Ark
Megatron ordered Ravage to sneak into the Ark and provide him with news of the Autobots' fuel situation. Fortunately for the Decepticons, the Autobots had failed to find a source of fuel, so the time came to strike. During the Decepticons' immediate attack on the Ark, Ravage singled out Mirage, intent on finishing the job he had begun earlier. Ravage ignored Mirage's pleas for a peaceful discussion and removed Mirage's arm with his teeth. Mirage's resolve against the Decepticons strengthened, he blasted Ravage, removing him fully from the rest of the battle. The Last Stand The chance arrival of Shockwave was all that allowed ultimate Decepticon victory, and Ravage, his deposed leader Megatron, and several others were nursed back to full operating status. The New Order Though Megatron rebelled against his usurper, he failed, and Shockwave paraded Megatron's beaten form in front of Ravage and the other Decepticons. The Worse of Two Evils!
Ravage accompanied several other Decepticons, under the command of Soundwave, in an assault on the Autobots after they had been duped by a bogus Optimus Prime under Shockwave's control. Ravage, the impostor Prime, and the other Decepticons made short work of the Autobots until the real Prime was restored. The Autobot commander turned the tide easily and Ravage and the other Decepticons were defeated. Prime Time!
While eavesdropping on the Autobots' arguments over whether or not to use the Creation Matrix to build an army of powerful superwarriors, Ravage's presence aboard the Ark was detected. The Decepticon spy made a run for it, but was caught in a web by Mirage and Hound. Ravage, however, is nearly impossible to kept locked up, and so he was able to quickly escape. Optimus Prime ordered Bumblebee to track him down, but Ravage's capture was part of a larger scheme, and he led Bumblebee right into a trap. Crisis of Command!
While sitting in their alternate modes inside a Portland, Oregon, electronics store, Soundwave, Ravage, and Laserbeak awaited news of Megatron's location during their former leader's disappearance. After his fuel-deprived body froze in nearby mining pit in the Powder River Basin, they left the store and brought fuel to Megatron. Here they successfully fought the American military and found a new ally, Donny Finkleberg, who claimed to control the Transformers as the supervillain Robot-Master. I, Robot-Master!
Ravage was given the task of being Finkleberg's "minder." He kept an eye on the fabricated supervillain even while "Robot-Master's" film crew captured a battle between Shockwave and Megatron for Decepticon leadership. Second Generation! Retaking command, Megatron re-established his Decepticons in the basin, at the protests of Shockwave, while Ravage continued to watching over Finkleberg. However, during a sudden Autobot attack, Ravage was distracted and Finkleberg was able to escape. Command Performances!
Ravage relentlessly tracked the human's scent across the Pacific Northwest towards Wyoming, despite Finkleberg's discarding of most of his smell by exchanging clothes. At this point, Ravage had apparently given up on returning Finkleberg to the Decepticons alive, and had begun shooting to kill. This change in protocol resulted in a melted campsite where Finkleberg had abandoned his clothes, but little else. Days later, Ravage tracked the human down in Wyoming, where he was protected by the Autobot named Skids and the Autobot's human companion Charlene. Ravage chased the trio through a small downtown area where he subdued Skids. Skids (and Finkleberg, by extension) was rescued by an unlikely hero, Jake Dalrymple, when Jake rammed his sports car into Ravage, toppling the Decepticon momentarily. After a protracted battle with Skids, Ravage was sent tumbling down a mine shaft and rendered inoperative on impact. Showdown!
At the Decepticons' base in the Florida Keys, Ravage tried to cheer up a down-in-the-dumps Megatron with some words of encouragement, but Megatron was too preoccupied to listen. Power Struggle Later, he informed Shockwave of Cobra's arrival. Ashes, Ashes...
Three years later, Ravage was awakened by a series of earth tremors, set off by the time storm raging throughout the universe. Finding much had changed since his deactivation, Ravage stumbled into the underground bunker of none other than "Megatron" and Galvatron. Initially siding with his old leader(s?), during a battle with the Wreckers, Ravage was surprised to learn that the presence of Galvatron and Scourge in the present was the source of the time storm. Though he was blasted by Carnivac (who had temporarily teamed up with the Wreckers), Ravage abandoned the battle and sought out the reclusive Shockwave. Shockwave was nearly catatonic over the irrationality of the time paradox that threatened to destroy them all, but Ravage managed to use logic to convince his former leader to come to his senses. At Ravage's suggestion, Shockwave gave up the body of Cyclonus, tossing it into the timestorm, which ended the threat to the present and future. Time Wars
In the aftermath, he hooked up with Megatron and they returned to Cybertron to seek new fortunes. In the Decepticon capital city of Helex, though, they found Autobots wandering around unmolested, and the area free of Decepticon supervision. After deposing the inadequate Triumverate, Megatron established a new beachhead for his conquests, with Ravage by his side. The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire. Before long, though, Ravage's Megatron was destroyed by the original Megatron, who revealed that the Megatron from Time Wars was a reconstruction of Lord Straxus. Two Megatrons!
Ravage eventually resurfaced on Earth, working with Starscream and Shockwave in an auxiliary Decepticon army, planning to overthrow then-leader Scorponok. After recruiting more of Scorponok's disgruntled soldiers, including Triggerhappy and Mindwipe, Eye of the Storm Ravage returned with his fellow insurgents to an underwater headquarters to plan their attack. As Scorponok began to forge a very unpopular alliance with the Autobots due to the threat of Unicron's coming, Ravage and the other Decepticon insurgents attacked the Decepticon base in New Jersey. Surrender! Scorponok survived, and as he emerged from the wreckage, he swatted Ravage aside easily. ...All This and Civil War 2
Their coup was interrupted when Primus summoned all the Transformers of Earth to Cybertron to do battle with Unicron. Out of Time! Ravage and the other teleported Transformers witnessed Primus, speaking through the body of Emirate Xaaron, tell the history of their supernatural war with the Dark God. The Void! Ravage was last seen fleeing, along with several others, immediately after Unicron's approach. On the Edge of Extinction!
Marvel UK future timelines
In 2003, Ravage was on a routine mission to infiltrate the Ark when he came across Ultra Magnus's huge new plans for a transforming fortress known as Autobot City: Earth. Upon hearing that Kup would be transporting a simulation tape of the City's blueprints to all the human leaders of Earth, Ravage skittered off to inform his Stunticon comrades so that they could intercept the information in transit. Ark Duty
Five years later, Ravage was seen on the field of battle with Soundwave, when the Decepticon commander desperately radioed the Autobots for assistance against their Quintesson attackers. Space Pirates!
Earthforce
Ravage was seen when an alternate-reality Galvatron probed Wheeljack's mind. Wheeljack remembered running into Ravage at Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One, following the Dinobot hunt, where Wheeljack was looking for the technology used to make Jetfire so he could repair the injured Autobots. Ravage and Wheeljack made a deal: In return for the technology, Wheeljack would use Ravage's neuro-control helmet to brainwash Jetfire into returning to the Decepticons. Despite not trusting Jetfire, Wheeljack backed out at the last minute. Good job too, as he later found out Ravage had destroyed the factory, meaning he'd almost betrayed his comrade for no end result. ...Perchance to Dream
Ravage remained on the side of Shockwave and Starscream during the Decepticon Civil War, fighting against his longtime commanders, Megatron and Soundwave. During a fight with the Dinobots, Ravage was faced off against Slag. Not... exactly... equal. Poor kitty ended up taking the horns to the hind quarters before the Decepticons retreated. Two Steps Back!
Ravage was seen at the Enclave, when the two Decepticon factions met to discuss peace and common goals. Someone brought him a saucer of milk. Awwwwwww. The Bad Guy's Ball!
Sometime later, the Decepticon factions managed to combine under the joint leadership of Soundwave and Starscream. Ravage began operating out of Soundwave's chest compartment again, just like old times. Divide and Conquer!

Fifteen years after the battle on Klo, Megatron resurfaced on Earth, and the loyal Ravage joined his former leader. Ravage participated in a battle in South America where a strange anomaly had been detected. Megatron had Soundwave send Ravage and Laserbeak after Cliffjumper, Landquake, and Skyfall. All of them disappeared in a sinkhole, where they awoke to find a strange underground chamber. Ravage and Laserbeak attacked, though while Laserbeak was hit and sank into a strange pool, Ravage was able to escape the overwhelming odds. Crossing Over: Part 4
Some time after this, while Ravage was patrolling their new base of operations, he realized he was being scouted by Elita One. Though he was able to counter both her repartee and her Circuit-Su, he was eventually blinded by the color-change properties of her skin and taken out of commission. Games of Deception
Ravage was among the Decepticons on Earth when the planet was dragged into a negative universe. Disgusted by the existence of his negative universe counterpart, Ravage hunted down his doppelganger with the intention of removing his opposite from existence. When the other Ravage asked for a timeout to update Yatter, Ravage turned him down and was met with a savage attack in response.

Ravage was present on Cybertron when the Dark Matrix creature attacked the population and converted most of the Transformers into shadow-leeches. Thanks to his powers of stealth Ravage was able to escape this treatment but ultimately found himself cornered by a shadow leech comprising the remains of his former allies Soundwave, Overkill, Howlback, Slugfest, Squawktalk, Beastbox and Wingthing. Just in the nick of time he was rescued by Shockwave and Starscream aboard the Ark.

One of the original team of Decepticons that accompanied Megatron on the attack of the Ark spacecraft, Ravage was reformatted by Teletraan I as an audiocassette to better blend in for operations based on Earth. Ravage served loyally as a Decepticon spy. He was one of the first Transformers to have been encountered by a human, as workers investigating a destroyed power station fell afoul of Ravage who pounced upon them and frightened them away. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1
Shortly thereafter, Ravage accompanied Soundwave on an infiltration mission to gather data from Teletraan I. Though Soundwave was discovered, Ravage was captured in an energy net and held captive. More than Meets the Eye, Part 2 The Decepticon spy figured into a disinformation plot hatched by the Autobots, who purposely leaked the presence of a rocket fuel depository in the outlying desert. In truth, there was no rocket base—Autobot Hound projected a holographic illusion in the hopes of luring the Decepticons into a trap. The Autobots allowed Ravage to escape and report back to Megatron, who easily saw through the ruse. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3
When Bumblebee and Spike Witwicky tried to escape after being forced to take part in the Decepticon space bridge experiments, Soundwave sent Ravage after them. Ravage prevented Bumblebee from coming to Spike's aid when the lad tripped. During a fight in a cave, Ironhide stopped Soundwave from ejecting Ravage again. Ravage later got to guard Spike as the Decepticons prepared for another attempt to use the space bridge. Transport to Oblivion Ravage briefly got the better of Bluestreak, until he was thrown off, and Prowl blasted him, resulting in Soundwave soundly zapping Prowl in retaliation. The Decepticons retreated after Chip Chase lent a hand to the Autobots. Ravage was soon employed again, to kidnap Chip right out of his home. Roll for It
After Optimus Prime was badly injured and lay dying in Autobot Headquarters, Ravage took part in an all-out attack, being ejected to attack Spike. He had the boy pinned, until Bumblebee chased him off with especially bright headlights. Divide and Conquer After Autobots were found spying on a Decepticon operation in the Arctic, Megatron sent Ravage to search for more intruders.

Dinobots After Soundwave spotted Bumblebee, Spike and Luisa sneaking into an Incan temple through a secret passage, he sent Ravage in after them. The Decepticon caught up with his prey as they attempted to get Skyfire online, and struggled with Bumblebee at length. Bumblebee kept him busy long enough for Spike to get Skyfire working, and the larger Autobot sent Ravage packing. Fire on the Mountain
Ravage took part in a special mission, helping Rumble to distract the Autobots while Laserbeak kidnapped Sparkplug Witwicky. The Ultimate Doom, Part 1 During a battle after Cybertron was brought into Earth's orbit, Ravage boldly pounced on Optimus from behind. His victory was short-lived, as a falling tree limb caused him to come in contact with power lines, and he fled. The Ultimate Doom, Part 2 The Decepticons utilised Ravage's tracking skills in Bali, and he led them to an escape pod that the Insecticons had been using as a dwelling. Once the Decepticons caught up with the trio and took them to an oil refinery, Ravage took part in another battle against the Autobots. A Plague of Insecticons
During Megatron's gladiatorial match with Optimus Prime, Ravage was let out to watch his master battle their nemesis. Soundwave also petted him. This would be cute if it wasn't creepy. Heavy Metal War Ravage and Laserbeak were utilised to round up a pair of gold miners, during another Decepticon plan. Ravage dragged his captive back by the pants leg. He was unleashed again during the battle at the Solar Needle, and briefly got the better of Bumblebee until the Autobot kicked him off. Changing Gears He attacked Bumblebee again in a city, only retreating after Spike use jumper cables to deliver a nasty shock. Unbeknownst to the Autobots, he had planted a micro-bug on Bumblebee, allowing the Decepticons to learn of Wheeljack's latest invention, the Immobilizer. Megatron was very pleased. The Immobilizer
When a small group of Autobots came to the aid of their fellows, who'd fallen victim to Megatron's Transfixatron, Soundwave sent Ravage to stop them using an anti-transfixation grenade. The jaguar pounced on Chip Chase, but was too late to prevent the boy from hurling the device, and the Autobots were freed from their paralysis. The Autobot Run When Soundwave sent Rumble and Ravage after Spike, Bumblebee and Wheeljack in Sub-Atlantica, the pair instead discovered that Nergill intended to blow them all up. They made a token effort to stop him before fleeing. Atlantis, Arise! Ravage took part in another ambush, during which things went sour when the Autobots used dominator discs to take control of Devastator. The Core
While Soundwave and Ravage were spying on the Autobots, they learned of the existence of Dinobot Island, and Soundwave dispatched Laserbeak to investigate further. Dinobot Island, Part 1 Ravage and the other cassettes attack an Autobot bunker, aiming to steal the Negavator. Despite briefly taking control of the device, the Autobot forces overwhelmed them, and they were forced to retreat. Auto Berserk During one of the Decepticons' many trips to South America, Ravage got to meet up with a real jaguar. Despite his resemblance, the non-robotic jaguar did not take kindly to Ravage's presence and engaged him in a "cat-fight". Ravage used his rocket boosters to scare away his living look-alike. Microbots
During Megatron's attempt to convince the humans that the Decepticons were good and the Autobots were evil, Ravage was dispatched to track down Spike Witwicky when the human searched for evidence that would exonerate the Autobots. Cornering the flesh creature in a studio control room, Ravage had a door closed on him, was electrocuted by a control panel, and had a shelf filled with video cassettes pushed onto him. Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1 To make Ravage feel better, Soundwave took Ravage along with the other cassettes to a teen dance party, where Ravage was a big hit with the ladies. Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2
During another mission, Ravage ejected from Soundwave, but before he could jump out of the back of Ironhide, Blaster grabbed him by the tail. While he and Blaster struggled, Soundwave wandered off to report to Megatron. Eventually Ironhide noticed the fight going on inside him and transformed, ejecting both combatants. Some time later, Ravage spontaneously ejected from Soundwave and began sniffing around on the ground, the first sign of a Cybertonium depletion that would affect all of the Transformers. During a subsequent fight with the Autobots, Ravage pounced on Optimus Prime, only for a malfunction to cause him to revert to his cassette mode. Optimus was highly amused and dropped him in one of the many metal barrels lying around. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1
Ravage led a group of Decepticons into the Dragon Mound, and through a portal to 543 A.D. Starscream immediately had them teamed up with Sir Wigend du Blackthorne. Ravage was sent after a spying Nimue, but fell afoul of Warpath and was forced to retreat without his prize. The Decepticons set about trying to discover the means to generate energy, resulting in a series of events which led to Blackthorne's castle being stormed by Warpath, Hoist and Blackthorne's enemies. Ravage attacked Spike when the boy attempted to rescue Nimue, but was chased off by an annoying bird. In the aftermath of the battle, Ravage attempted to pull Rumble out of the rubble. The Decepticons were taken prisoner and forced to return through the Dragon Mound back to present day, where they were reunited with Megatron. A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court During a mission in New York City, Ravage and Rumble briefly pursued Tracks and Raoul.

Some time later, Ravage, along with Starscream, Thrust, and Soundwave, was transported to a planet with massive inhabitants, along with a group of Autobots, in a space bridge accident. The first creature they encountered, Aron, thought the Decepticons were toys. Ravage attempted to escape, but Aron's cat Nitro chased after Ravage like a mouse (how embarrassing). Aron put him with his pet hamster, Booper, in his cage. Instead of immediately asserting his dominance by killing the beast, Ravage went and ran on the creature's exercise wheel. When captured by scientists, they attempted to dissect the Transformers, but Ravage was able to pick his locks and free the Decepticons, who hijacked the Autobots light beam to head back to Earth... and landed in a lake filled with alligators. That was a very bad day for Ravage. Child's Play When the Decepticons needed to obtain the Key to Vector Sigma, Soundwave sicked Ravage on Alpha Trion. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1
Ravage was still present with the Decepticons in 2005, During the Battle of Autobot City, he was dispatched along with Rumble, Frenzy, and Ratbat to take out Blaster's communication tower and instead were pitted against his own cassette Autobots. After the battle, Ravage helped fight for Soundwave's bid for leadership of the Decepticons. The Transformers: The Movie
Ravage was still with the Decepticons after they were exiled to Chaar. One of his more notable adventures was when he, along with several other "primitive" Transformers, were summoned to fight Tornedron. Although Ravage was defeated by the energy monster, he and all the other drained transformers were restored back to normal thanks to the efforts of Grimlock. Call of the Primitives

Story of Binaltech
At some point in time after 1985, but before 2005, Ravage was captured by the EDC and kept as a prisoner. He was then kept stasis-locked in cassette mode inserted in his future/past self's tape deck, in order to provide his body with a "Life Essence Nucleus", as part of the III's "X-9 Revival Plan".

Although his plan was indeed to repair Teletraan I's databanks, Ravage had his own intentions for the information. He had traveled back from the future to the year 2005 in an attempt to use the "bio and tech specs" data stored inside the computer to manipulate the future and create a timeline free of "unnecessary conflict". When he was foiled by the unknown saboteur, he infiltrated the Autobots as Kurohyō Man and created the Information Control Center on Nana in order to control the recovery effort.
The bumbling Teletraan 15 (and eventually Teletraan 10 as well) resisted, escaping back in time using Ravage's Transwarp cruiser and becoming the very saboteur that caused her mission to begin. 10 Volume Though annoyed that his scheme had been thwarted, Ravage expressed pride in the independence of his underlings and graciously ejected them into space—a survivable situation for the pair and their Kiss Player cassette friends. 15 Volume: The Last Part

Story of Binaltech
The Government-run Intelligence and Information Institute unearthed a mysterious capsule during an archaeological dig. After the dissolution of III and the obtaining of Transformer probing technology, former III staff found that the container, dubbed "Schrödinger's Box", was the flight recorder of the Predacon Ravage's stealth ship, containing Central Consciousness File X-9, a copy of the feline's personality and memory engrams deposited into his vessel before his final blaze of glory. When the scientists found a way to communicate with this personality, it offered them its knowledge of future events in exchange for a new body. III agreed, and used a fake Binaltech project (internally termed the X-9 Revival Plan and filled under the pretense of "technological synthesis tests") to provide their part of the bargain. However, to truly bring the new Ravage to life, III stole the present-day Ravage—who had been captured by the Earth Defense Command and stasis-locked into his cassette mode—and implanted him into the new Ravage, thereby 'fusing' the old and new Ravages into one. This new Ravage, however, had no intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain and, after eliminating his benefactors and learning to his shock that history did not change in his faction's favor, decided to rectify his mistake. Ghosts of the Past
First on his agenda was his former commander, Megatron; stealing an Autobot shuttle, he located and repaired the Kronosphere and—during a decisive battle between Megatron's and Optimus Prime's forces that would have normally ended with the Autobots being forced off of Cybertron and into their moon bases—turned the weapon on his own faction, trapping Megatron and his crew in a space-time rift. This alteration in the timeline served two purposes: first, it would give the Autobots the chance to retake Cybertron, which would then lead to them having to face off against the oncoming Unicron alone, severely weakening them in the process. The second, and more important, purpose was to keep Megatron alive and in good mental health (relatively speaking), thus preventing him from becoming the insane Galvatron, and allowing him to lead the Decepticons to victory over the battle-weary Autobots. Ravage also Transmuted Shockwave into a new Binaltech body of his own, so he could lead the remaining Decepticons in Megatron's absence, Changing Lanes and secretly derailed many of the Autobots' supply missions, further weakening them for their battle with the Chaos Bringer.
Unfortunately for him, the Autobot named Overdrive became aware of Ravage's meddling in history, thanks to his acute sensitivity of the timestream, Reality Check and—with the help of Wheeljack—captured the wayward Decepticon and forced a confession out of him. Ravage, however, was not without a trump card, revealing that his alterations might prevent the deaths of many of the Autobots destined to die in the normal timeline (which, as a distinction between the two, was dubbed 'Prime Time' by Wheeljack, Ravage's altered timeline being called 'Ravage Time'), though in the grand scheme of things, only Optimus could not be considered expendable, as he contained the one thing that could bring down Unicron (the Autobot Matrix of Leadership). By the time of his capture, however, Unicron had already been sighted on a collision course with Cybertron and, despite the temptation of preventing future deaths among his ranks, Optimus decided Ravage's plans to be too dangerous to allow to come to fruition. To that end, he roped Ultra Magnus into helping him fly to Unicron in a preemptive strike against the monstrous threat, while the other Autobots (left in the command of Skids), were to initiate "Operation: Distant Thunder", which involved sending a copy of Wheeljack's memories of what Ravage confessed to them, back in time to a point prior to the Decepticon panther's meddling, via the energies located on Dinobot Island. Darkest Hour If "Operation: Distant Thunder" worked as planned, Ravage's plans would be foiled, and any tremors in the timeline he caused would be smoothed over by "Project Body Shop" (aka, the Binaltech project). However, just as Skids gave the signal to transmit the memory engrams, the Autobot base was rocked by an entire fleet of Decepticons. The Autobots just barely managed to hold off the fleet, ensuring that "Operation: Distant Thunder" was a success (though a protector ended up separating the Binaltech timeline from the original, as supposedly the Binaltech-bodied Transformers have a higher purpose in the grand scheme of things).

Ravage was stationed on Carob Island, where the Decepticons had set up a mining an construction operation. Using a rare ore from the island, the Decepticons were building duplicate Autobots loyal only to Megatron. Ravage acted as a go-between the Decepticons and Madame Cee, a human who's expertise and tinkering in mechanics were crucial in building the clones. Upon one of his visits to Madame Cee's workshop, Ravage came upon Madame Cee talking to the Autobot Prowl. Ravage attempted to attack Prowl, but Prowl evaded him and locked Ravage in a room.

Ravage is super-sneaky. He used the cover of an iceberg to board the Autobots' ship and tried to pounce on Hound and Spike Witwicky, only to discover he'd fallen foul of a hologram. Outnumbered by the alerted Autobots, he fled the ship. During a later battle, he and the other Decepticons became accidental victims of Rumble's earthquake.

Decepticon Patrol Ravage was among the Decepticons who attacked Hoover Dam, but were driven off by the Autobots. The Deadly Fuel Shortage
Ravage's spying alerted the Decepticons to a space communicator possessed by the Autobots, which allowed the Decepticons to send a fake message so they could take over the Ark. A Message From Outer Space Like Starscream, Ravage loved to follow Megatron's orders. When the Autobots interrupted the Decepticons in the process of tearing up a forest, Ravage leaped at Bumblebee only to completely miss and go plunging off a cliff. Forest Rescue Mission
When Thundercracker found a junk yard with a car compactor, Ravage came up with a cunning plan to lure the Autobots into it by disguising it as an Autobot Rest Stop.

Skulking around Disneyland, Ravage hid himself inside a Walkman so that you would carry him inside The Wizard's Cave attraction where workmen had uncovered a buried UFO. After you activated a time-sphere, Ravage and Laserbeak were transported four million years back in time, where they planned to locate the crashed Ark and destroy the Autobots within. After a few battles with the Dinobots, the two cassettes located the site of the flying saucer, intending to take the time-travelling aliens' advanced technology. Dinobot War
- One of the aliens transported him and Laserbeak to times and places unknown.
- You transported him and Laserbeak back to the present day and they slunk away, or were lost in the time-stream.

Ladybird Books continuity
When the Decepticons were hit by a surge of power from a lightning collector built by the Autobots, they all began malfunctioning. Ravage spontaneously ejected from Soundwave and attacked Megatron, who batted him aside. Soundwave picked up the stricken "mechanical hound" as the Decepticons retreated. Autobots' Lightning Strike
On another occasion, the Decepticons spotted Bumblebee spying on them and send Ravage after him. Ravage pursued the small Autobot, managing to fire off one of his missiles before Bumblebee used his sensitivity to bright light against him. After recovering from the eye-full of headlights, Ravage found Bumblebee had gone, but the cassette stumbled on a cave that would be perfect for testing the ion-drive for the space cruiser they were building. The news somewhat defused Megatron's temper at the escape of Bumblebee, and Ravage led the other Decepticons to his find. Ultimately, the Autobots got wind of the test and launched an attack, resulting in the ion-drive exploding and the tunnel collapsing on the Decepticons. Autobots Fight Back

Ravage followed Cliffjumper, and when the Autobot tried to abduct Doctor Heath Blaisedale, Ravage decided to capture her for the Decepticons instead. After jumping onto Cliffjumper's hood in panther mode, he transformed to robot mode(?!) and tried to grab the doctor, only for Cliffjumper to glass gas his right arm. The Autobot made off with Blaisedale, leaving Ravage in the dust, but the Decepticon notified Megatron who made alternate arrangements. When later the Decepticons wanted to attack the solar plant, Ravage successfully kidnapped Blaisedale as a diversion. He and the other Decepticon guards later fled when the Autobots came to rescue her. Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)
The Battle for Planet Earth
Ravage spied on Hound and a bunch of Autobots in the Ark and reported to Megatron. He was on Megatron's team as they tracked Optimus Prime to South America and attempted to seize Mount Sheelah. Unfortunately the volcano blew up in their faces, trapping them with lava. Terror of Mount Sheelah Ravage was hanging out at the Decepticon fortress when Bumblebee stole the Decepticons' global crystal, but didn't detect the scout until it was too late. Bumblebee to the Rescue
When Starscream spotted a construction at Stanley Lake, Ravage was the only Decepticon who knew his history well enough to recognize what a hydro electric station was, a method of generating power used on Cybertron "way way back in the mists of time." He accompanied Megatron to Stanley Lake on a fact-finding mission, and when the other Decpticons were washed away by a torrent thanks to the Autobots, Ravage alone escaped. He confronted Jazz, only to be dazzled by the Autobot's sound and light show until the other Autobots arrived, and he had to retreat. Menace at the Dam Sore at all the defeats, the Decepticons discussed how to defeat the Autobots, and Ravage came up with the idea of infiltrating the Autobot ranks with a spy. This plan paid off when Starscream did so and reported on an Autobot super weapon being stored at Mount Levram. Of course, while the Decepticons were smashing Mount Levram, the Autobots demolished the Decepticon fortress, having gotten wise to Starscream and fooled him themselves. Espionage!!!!!
Battle Beneath the Ice
When human scientists discovered a mysterious city beneath the ice of the North Pole, they placed a call to Autobot City in order to get the Transformers' perspective on the discovery. The Decepticons also somehow learned of the city, and Ravage found a way to infiltrate it unnoticed. As he lurked, Ravage managed to record a conversation between one of the city-dwellers and the human Nyder, who were discussing stealing the warrior-factors from both the Autobots and Decepticons in order to encode it within themselves, thus turning their people into an army. He later came upon a group of humans as they were being given a tour of the city. Making himself known, Ravage was threatened to leave at gunpoint by Hot Rod, who was accompanying the humans. Ravage assured him that if he had come as their enemy, he wouldn’t have let them see him. Ravage went on to explain that the Decepticons hadn’t shot down the humans’ plane, as the group had earlier been led to believe. One of the city-dwellers interrupted their conversation, and threatened to neutralize Ravage, pointing towards him a rod-like blaster. But Ravage was too quick for the city-dweller and pounced right for his throat. Before Ravage could reach him, Hot Rod discharged his photon lasers, and hit the city-dweller by accident. The city-dweller was revealed to be a robot, and Ravage played the conversation between Nyder and the Watcher, the leader of the city-dwellers, he had previously recorded. Ravage and Hot Rod then forged a temporary alliance. Their group stumbled upon the city-dwellers analyzing a fight between Skydive and Vortex, programming themselves with the Autobots and Decepticons’ battle tactics. One of the young humans in the group, Jeff, asked Ravage to record the footage of the Gus Gopher Cartoon Show he had captured on his chronovid wristwatch, and overwrite the city-dwellers’ computers with it. Ravage complied, noting that he liked this kind of sneaky plan. Once the reprogramming was accomplished, and the city-dwellers began acting like cartoon characters, Ravage contacted the Combaticons above-ground and told them to cease fighting, and to follow the Aerialbots to the underground city. The city-dwellers defeated, the Decepticons honoured Ravage’s truce and left in Blast Off’s shuttle form peacefully. Battle Beneath the Ice
Find Your Fate Junior
Attack of the Insecticons
Ravage alternatively spied on Decepticons of doubtful loyalty towards Megatron or prowled about Decepticon headquarters, keeping a lookout for intruders. He accomplished the first task in one possible adventure, where Shrapnel planned to overthrow Megatron with the use of an energy device called the Sun-Pak, and the later in another possible adventure where the Autobots attempted to retrieve the same device after it had been stolen by the Decepticons. Attack of the Insecticons
Desert Flight
Ravage was part of a Decepticon deployment stationed in a desert base. The Decepticons plotted to lure the Autobots in a trap through the use of an anti-gravity beam. Using the beam on a nearby human settlement, the Autobots would be duped into coming to the fleshliness’ rescue, only to be themselves trapped by the effects of the beam.
In the event that the Autobots used a trojan ruse to infiltrate the Decepticon base, and the Decepticons’ forcefield was disabled, Frenzy and Ravage tackled Powerglide after the later had burst into the Decepticons’ base, guns ablaze, only for the two Decepticons to crash into one another when Powerglide ducked.Desert Flight
Decepticon Poison
Ravage possessed an fighter jet alternate mode. He was also armed with proton bombs.

Whether they succeeded or not depended on which choices the Autobots made. Decepticon Poison
Autobot Alert!
Ravage was stationed at the Decepticons’ command centre, working as a guard to make sure the Decepticons’ latest plan to conquer the Earth went smoothly. Autobot Alert!
The Invisibility Factor
In one possible scenario, Ravage accompanied Galvatron on a patrol in a desert at night. Upon spotting a spaceship that flickered in-and-out of sight, the patrol investigated. Finding the Autobots Kup and Hot Rod conversing with a woman at the ship’s landing site, Ravage and the others fired upon them, causing them to scramble away. Galvatron then ordered his troops to stay and scrutinize the spaceship instead of pursuing the Autobots.
If Hot Rod and Kup decided to attack immediately, the Autobots were easily defeated and destroyed by the Ravage and the other Decepticons.
If Hot Rod and Kup silently followed the Decepticons back to their hide-out in a nearby canyon, they managed to tricked Ravage and the others into thinking that they were being ambushed by a whole squadron of Autobots. Panicking, the Decepticons attempted to retaliate by firing in all directions. Amidst the confusion, Ravage began arguing with Thrust, both of them insisting that the Autobots were attacking from a different direction.
If Hot Rod snuck down and successfully snatched the Invisibility Device from Shockwave, the Decepticons gave chase to the young Autobot. They were unable to catch him before Kup fired down onto the canyon’s walls, causing it to collapse and burying the Decepticons under an avalanche of earth and rocks.
In an alternate scenario, Ravage and the other Decepticons decided to take off into space in Sarah Sander’s ship after acquiring the Invisibility Device. Whether the Decepticons succeeded in mastering the Invisibility Device and subsequently destroyed the Autobots, or were destroyed or defeated themselves depended on what choices the Autobots made from this point on.
In another possible scenario, Ravage and the other Decepticons happened upon Sarah Sanders’s ship before any Autobots had come in contact with her. While Scavenger held the woman captive, Ravage and the other Decepticons dragged the ship itself to a hidden location. In whichever scenario that followed, the Autobots managed to steal the Invisibility Device from the Decepticons, either dazzling Ravage and the others with their headlights while Hot Rod took the device right out of their hands, or tricking him and most of the other Decepticons into leaving the spaceship behind while they pursued the young Autobot on a wild goose chase. The Decepticons did not succeed in catching Hot Rod no matter what scenario ensued. The Invisibility Factor

Ravage is one of the few Decepticon warriors who was granted amnesty at the end of the Great War and reformatted into a Predacon, complete with classy Russian accent. He was sent by the Tripredacus Council to capture Megatron, clean up any messes he might have made, and deal with the rest of the beast warriors. (Whether this translated to "kill them all" in the minds of the Tripredacus Council is unclear, but that was apparently Ravage's intent.) Ravage made the trip to prehistoric Earth in a specially modified stealth transwarp cruiser. He successfully contacted the Maximals and allied with them to capture Megatron. Due to the stealth capabilities of his ship, and the fact that Tarantulas was also an agent of the council, Ravage and the Maximals easily captured Megatron and imprisoned him. The Agenda (Part 1)
Megatron, however, had one more card to play. He knew that Ravage wasn't going to let any of the beast warriors live, and also knew he had the one thing that would turn Ravage to his side. Using a fragment from the Golden Disk, Megatron showed Ravage something which shocked him—a message from Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. As a safeguard against potential defeat, Megatron had left instructions for the descendants of the Decepticons to use transwarp technology to return to prehistoric Earth. Although the message cut out before it was finished, Megatron's plan worked: Ravage, moved by the sight of his former master, released Megatron. After Megatron explained the rest of the message, Ravage joined the Predacons and turned on the Maximals. Megatron and Ravage attacked Cheetor and Optimus Primal, at which point he transformed into his old mini-cassette alt-mode, jumped into the tape player on his ship, and started playing wicked guitar solos. The Agenda (Part 2)
His latest treachery was short-lived. During the assault on the Axalon, Rattrap infiltrated his ship and used fusion grenades to cause an explosion that destroyed the vessel and Ravage himself. As the inferno headed toward the bridge, Ravage raised a fist and shouted, "Decepticons forever!" to whomever heard or cared. The Agenda (Part III)
His head, seemingly all that remained of him, was knocked into the water below the Axalon by one of Tarantulas's spider-drones. Optimal Situation
3H comics
Even though the Maximals had left Earth with Megatron, the Beast Wars were far from over! Tarantulas's "death" was actually a cover for his return in a more powerful form that had ingested the power of the Vok! He revived Ravage into a new Transmetal 2 body to help boost his forces, which also included Iguanus and Razorclaw, and prepared to begin the next stage of his evil plan. Meanwhile, the remnants of Ravage's previous body were recycled by the Vok to re-create Tigatron. Primeval Dawn Part 1
Soon, Ravage led an attack on Primal Prime, the Vok's new champion, and managed to separate Prime from Tigatron, Airazor, and Ramulus. Ravage boasted of his "dark cloak" which shrouded him from even Airazor's impressive sensor array, and unleashed a volley of missiles which knocked her out of the sky. Meanwhile, Tarantulas encountered Primal Prime far from the main battle, and after a heated battle, the Matrix itself was ripped from his chest by the undead spawn of Unicron. Primeval Dawn Part 2
Back at Tarantulas's lair, with the Matrix in their possession, Ravage oversaw the construction of a transwarp portal that would transport them deep within the maw of their new master, Unicron! Their newly-born ally, Spittor, expressed frustration at their unwillingness to finish off the Maximals during the battle, and Ravage responded brutally. Ravage was immune to Spittor's deadly venom-covered surface, but Spittor was not likewise protected from Ravage's savage claws, so Spittor quickly quit complaining. Once the portal was completed, Tarantulas allowed them to attack the Maximals; Ravage and the others had served their purpose. Ravage led them to the Ark, but warned them to not disturb the Autobots or Decepticons on board. But little did they know that the Vok themselves had taken control of Primal Prime's body, and remade it in their powerful image... Primeval Dawn Part 3
IDW Beast Wars comics
While Ravage is considered by many to be loyal only to himself, his primary loyalty is actually to Megatron and the dream of Decepticon conquest. He views himself as carrying on where Megatron left off, scheming and operating constantly to end Cybertron's peace and bring back a conquering empire. Any plot and rebellion, you'll find Ravage there.

As Magmatron was surveying the timestream, he witnessed several key events of the Beast Wars. Among those was Ravage having a conversation with the captured Megatron. The Gathering #1
Magmatron recovered Ravage's heavily-damaged torso, which still contained his spark. He then inserted the spark into a blank protoform, which had already been affected by the Transmetal 2 Driver, and Ravage was reborn. Beast Wars Sourcebook In his Transmetal 2 body, he and his fellow Predacons, under the command of Magmatron, sought out Razorbeast's band of Maximals. Viewing from a safe distance, Ravage ordered his soldiers to engage. Additional Maximal forces arrived, however, and Ravage's forces were defeated. Ravage retreated into the wilderness. The Gathering
Subsequently, Ravage would utilize all the Predacons under his command in a desperate attack as a diversion while he crept into the Maximal base to steal the chronal phase facilitators left behind by Magmatron. He was confronted by Razorbeast, who guessed incorrectly that Ravage intended to use them to board the Autobot shuttle and return to Cybertron. Ravage corrected him by stating that he intended to free Megatron and eradicate the Maximal forces. His ambitions, however, were thwarted by Snarl who caught him off guard and gave Razorbeast the opportunity to knock Ravage offline. The Ascending #1
It is not certain if Ravage's intentions for Megatron were another ruse or if he was actually out of his kitty mind regarding the tactical feasibility of this endeavor.
However, what WAS a ruse was Ravage being offline — as soon as he had been tied up by Razorbeast, the Maximal commander had to leave to help on the battlefield—upon which Ravage stopped playing dead and broke loose rather easily, managing to obtain the chronal displacement bands that Razorbeast had put him right next to after pointing them out. (A tactical genius, that Razorbeast.) However, upon activating the bands, Ravage was pulled into Chronospace by the trapped Magmatron, who warned him of the apocalypse that was to come, and ordered him to form a truce with the Maximals to fight this menace. And after hearing the warning, Ravage heeded the sage advice, sneaking out of the base while chronically displaced and re-emerging to the sight of several gun barrels from Lio Convoy, Razorbeast, and the Pack. However, just as he explained the situation, Rartorata emerged from nowhere and turned Razorbeast into a Princess Mononoke homage. The Ascending #2
After introducing himself to Lio Convoy, Ravage agreed with him on a truce until they dealt with the menace of Shokaract. Commandeering his Predacons, Ravage's forces defeated Rartorata and Ravage extracted a sample of Angolmois energy from the Blendtron. When he told Lio Convoy to abandon the Angolmois-infected Razorbeast, the Pack's leader warned him that if he made light of his friend's peril again, he'd personally de-spark him. Ravage boarded the Pack's ship and returned to Cybertron with them, on the way analyzing the Angolmois capsule, to come up with a vaccine. However, as he explained, none of them were qualified scientists for the task. After arriving on Cybertron, Shokaract blasted the Maximal ship out of the sky. The Ascending #3
Ravage survived the crash, along with the Pack, and visited Magmatron again. Magmatron told Ravage to chronally-displace Shokaract so he could "enlighten him". He then showed unusual concern for Razorbeast's Maximals, asking how they were doing. Ravage then returned to the battle and hit Shokaract's Heralds with a grenade at an opportune moment. After Shokaract's suicide, Ravage found Magmatron returned and they all lived happily ever after.

Dreamwave Generation One continuity
Ravage, with a much more arboreal alt mode, was part of the second assassination team Megatron sent after the new Autobot leader Optimus Prime, The War Within #1 The War Within #2 alongside Soundwave and the future Insecticons. Ravage got savaged. First Prime blinded him with an energy burst from his own partner Kickback, then he tossed said Kickback into the feral Decepticon, squashing him against the wall. The War Within #3 Later, he was an operative of Shockwave's faction during the Dark Ages. They made war against the Chaos Trinity to upset the plans of The Fallen. Conflagration Ravage was also present at Tyger Pax when the Decepticons and Ultracons reluctantly planned to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots, right before Megatron returned in all his glory, with the thousand-strong Aerospace Extermination Squadron at his back. The Age of Wrath
Millions of years later, Ravage and the crew of the Nemesis awoke on Earth in 1984, and did battle with the crew of the Ark for some time. He and the rest of Megatron's army were eventually defeated and captured by the Autobots, but their return vessel to Cybertron, the Ark II, was destroyed in mid-flight, leaving the Transformers apparently dead. Prime Directive #1 Ravage and many others were recovered and reprogrammed by the human mercenary known as Lazarus. As a test of his control and their power, Lazarus sent his robots to destroy the Smitco Oil Refinery, and Ravage was there to "pacify" any human resistance. Megatron soon broke free of Lazarus's control, however, and freed his fellow Decepticons in the process. Prime Directive #2
When Megatron vanished from the face of the Earth, Ravage reluctantly joined Soundwave and many other Decepticons in following Starscream as the new leader. Starscream made his first act to take over the human city of Las Vegas, turning it into a kingdom under his command. In order to ensure cooperation, he worked with the human population, promising them fame and protection in exchange for their obedience. Soundwave and his cassettes worked directly with the LVPD, supplementing their efforts with surveillance and Cybertronian based weaponry. Ravage personally intervened during a block war, dismembering a gang member before he could kill patrol officer Ryan O'Brien. The Decepticons weren't above silencing their detractors, though, and that same officer was beaten to death by some of his fellow cops later that evening, for conspiring against the Decepticons. Hardwired
Megatron returned from deep space sometime later, but the extent of his injuries at the hands of the Keepers left him unable to retake his command from Starscream. Instead, he voluntarily went into exile, but invited the other Decepticons to leave Starscream and join him. Ravage and Soundwave were among the Decepticons was eagerly accepted this invitation. Annihilation
After an enormous battle with the Keepers in Las Vegas, Megatron reclaimed leadership of the Decepticons from Starscream. To properly declare his return to power to the world, Megatron made a brazen assault directly on the White House in Washington, D.C. He had Ravage patrolling the alleyways, terrorizing civilians and running interference—the cat's efforts kept a large portion of the DCPD and National Guard occupied while Megatron had his "conference" with the President. Later, the President sought revenge on the Transformers during an ambush in the Nevada desert. He had American troops employ deconstructionites, tiny microchip-sized projectiles reverse engineered from Cybertronian technology, with the power to drain energy away from Transformer systems. Ravage was caught in the initial barrage, and either his small size or limited processing power made him fall victim faster than others. Megatron had to carry Ravage to safety as the Decepticons retreated. Fusion
Sometime thereafter, Shockwave arrived on Earth with a detachment of Unified Cybertronian soldiers, equipped to take both Autobots and Decepticons into custody as enemies of the peace. Shockwave quickly granted clemency to Soundwave, Ravage, and the other Decepticons willing to swear fealty to him, after he disposed of Megatron. New World Order After returning to Cybertron, Soundwave was considering his options when a small sound caught his attention. He dispatched Ravage to investigate, but the poor kitty tried to tackle Starscream and got a mouthful of null-ray. Brothers' Burden Starscream had plans of his own, and managed to convince Soundwave and his cassettes that following him would be more profitable than throwing in with Shockwave.

Ravage was among the Transformers laying dormant aboard the Ark when it was discovered by Cobra, who took the alien robots and reprogrammed them to serve in Cobra Commander's plot to conquer the world. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2 Along with Soundwave and the other cassettes, Ravage was sent to attack the SPS Research Facility, where he protected Zartan as the ninja stole a necessary module from the facility. He fought against Quick Kick and Mutt, and would've killed them if he hadn't been recalled to Cobra Island when Zartan got out and deemed the mission a success. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3 Shortly after the Decepticons returned, however, Cobra's control of them was broken by Wheeljack's tampering, and Soundwave sent out Ravage to punish his former captors. The jaguar knocked out Firefly and dragged him back to Soundwave to be used as a slave. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4 Ravage later attacked Optimus Prime only to be grabbed and crushed in the Autobot's fist. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5
Two years later when Teletran 3 had gone berserk, sending scores of Transformers and humans both forwards and backwards in time, Ravage was among the Decepticons who surrounded the tower where the disturbance had originated. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2
In an alternate future in which the Decepticons had conquered Earth, packs of Ravages prowled the woods that a team of G.I. Joes and Cobra members were traveling through. A few of them were destroyed by Ratchet, causing the remaining ones to flee. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #3

IDW Generation 1 continuity
Before the war, Ravage and his pals Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were constructed cold in animal forms for an unspecified purpose. Beast-form Cybertronians were looked down upon in their Functionist society, so Ravage and the others were left with thankless jobs like grudgingly running errands for the Senate. One day they ran into a lost and confused 'bot named Soundwave, who was suffering from his inability to control his unique mind-reading powers. Sensing that Soundwave had the smell of an alright guy, Ravage shared his own experience with controlling over-sensitive senses (namely his nose) and taught him that the secret was finding something to focus on. The thankful drifter joined them, and the four lived on the streets together until they were approached by Senator Ratbat, who employed Soundwave and had his partners modified into cassettes that could hide within him. Soundwaves
When Ratbat learned of the rise of gladiatorial champion Megatron, Soundwave was sent to negotiate with him on the corrupt Senator's behalf. Soundwave detected two spies, Bumper and Fastback, watching their secret meeting and had Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw capture and bring them to Megatron. Megatron Origin #2 During this time, Soundwave learned that unlike the Functionists, Megatron saw Ravage and the birds as equals rather than animals and only wished to create a society without oppression. Moved by his resolve, Soundwave and his partners joined his revolutionary Decepticon movement. Soundwaves Ravage was caught on tape during the earliest days of the Decepticons, sabotaging the industrial sector. Megatron Origin #3 As part of a plan devised by Soundwave, the Decepticons lured the Senate to Kaon, where Ravage and the others aided Starscream in assassinating them. Megatron Origin #4
After the war broke out, Soundwave ended up on the run from a team of Autobots and let out out Ravage to fight off Bumblebee and Hound. Ravage defeated the two pursuers, but was brought down by Hound in the process. Frenzy later asked Soundwave if they should go back for him, but the opportunity never came up. The Hunt for Soundwave Four million years ago, Ravage was helping Soundwave against the Autobots when Ironhide left him feeling a little...run down. The Iron Age
At some point in time Ravage fought against the Dynobots alongside Runamuck and Soundwave. They were thoroughly trounced for their efforts. Spotlight: Grimlock
Millions of years later, when Bludgeon was ordered by Megatron to investigate the disappearance of Shockwave, Megatron in turn ordered Soundwave to secretly keep an eye on him. Soundwave took Ravage and Laserbeak with him, and eventually followed Bludgeon and his accomplices to Earth, where Ravage took on the form of a cassette tape in the year 1984. Soundwave observed as a cassette tape player, he sent Ravage and Laserbeak to follow the human facsimiles constructed by Bludgeon to do his enigmatic work. Ultimately, the trail brought the three to Bludgeon's volcanic lair under Mount St. Helens. When Soundwave realized that Bludgeon's group intended to reawaken Thunderwing, Soundwave, Ravage, and Laserbeak desperately attacked, but Ravage was impaled by Bludgeon's sword. He was later buried by a volcanic eruption, but dug out a year later by the human organization Skywatch. Spotlight: Soundwave
Years later in 2007, he was chained up in the Skywatch headquarters along with Laserbeak and reprogrammed to seek out the other Transformers. Escalation #6 On his first mission out with Laserbeak, however, the pair's signal from Skywatch was blocked by Soundwave. Devastation #1 Devastation #4
Ravage sought out Soundwave in the bedroom of young Jimmy, bursting through his household wall. Soundwave had been stuck in his small tape-player altmode for 25 years, so the assistance of Laserbeak was required to haul his small form away. Ravage regrouped with them both at the base of Mount St. Helens, but it was taking all of Soundwave's fast-dwindling energy to keep blocking Skywatch's mind control signals. Fortunately, they had an ally in Shockwave. Maximum Dinobots #4 Soundwave and Shockwave struck a deal which would lead to Soundwave being freed from his altmode prison, leaving Ravage and Laserbeak to be found by Skywatch as part of the plan. As soon as Soundwave could transform again, the two cassettes killed their captors and reunited with him. Maximum Dinobots #5
A year later, Ravage helped defeat the Autobot regiment on Earth, making way for Decepticon conquest of the planet. All Hail Megatron #7 After a failed human counter-attack in New York City, Ravage went after the pilot Andy Reid so as to prevent him reporting back to his commander. He had the military human and a civilian pinned, when a second human male threw an explosive at him. It detonated on his face, distracting him long enough for the humans to escape. This annoyed him only slightly less than the fact Andy kept calling him a dog. All Hail Megatron #2
After the Decepticons' defeat, they abandoned Earth, leaving Ravage and others behind. Spike Witwicky headed a military regiment to hunt down surviving Transformers and found Ravage in an abandoned building. Ravage attacked Spike but got blasted for his efforts. At least he put Spike in the hospital, though. The Man of Steel
Ravage presumably spent the next couple of years in Skywatch custody, until the Decepticons finally returned to Earth and freed their captured comrades. He was seen among the troops who were eager to watch another duel between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Enemy Mine A short time later, Megatron used the space bridge technology built into his new body to summon the Decepticon army to Cybertron, where Ravage pounced on Sideswipe and had a scuffle with Bob. The Decepticons were then mind-controlled by Galvatron into forming the "Deceptigod". Chaos Part Three: Kings
Following the defeat of Galvatron, Ravage and the other weakened Decepticons were outfitted with I/D chips and imprisoned by the Autobots. They were, however, let out to serve as crowd control during a NAIL riot. The Death of Optimus Prime Ravage was present when Ratbat protested against the treatment of the Decepticons. The Autonomy Lesson After the I/D chips were overridden by Shockwave and Soundwave, Ravage was present when Skywarp teleported back to the Decepticon prison and informed everyone that Horri-Bull had been executed. The World & Everything in It Shockwave would charge Ravage and the Reflector trio with the task of stealing Turmoil's ship from Autobot custody. Night and the City
As he returned to Shockwave to assure him nobody that nobody had seen him sneak Reflector into the ship, Ravage was distracted by a strange smell. He was about to leave to track down and kill Dirge when that smell turned out to be that of Arcee, who stabbed him in the neck before defeating and capturing the rest of Shockwave's allies. The End of the Beginning of the World They were taken to the Black Room where they were repaired and upgraded into new forms by Prowl, who was under Decepticon control. The Verge Ravage then helped capture Bumblebee and Metalhawk on behalf of a returning Megatron. Before the Dawn He proceeded to participate in the battle over Cybertron, Plan for Everything but the Decepticons lost and were exiled into the wilderness. Heavy Is the Head As a cold constructed Transformer, Ravage was a victim of Chief Justice Tyrest's universal killswitch and came close to dying, causing Soundwave much distress. Arm the Lonely
Learning that Shockwave had abandoned them during the battle, Soundwave apologized to Ravage for having him work with the deserter and gathered the Decepticons for an attack on his location. Or at least that's what he wanted to do, but the other 'cons refused because of their recent failures and the Triple Changers even attacked him, causing Ravage and the others to protect him. Shockpoint Aided only by his loyal cassettes, Soundwave left to confront Shockwave at his Crystal City base. During the course of battle, Ravage leapt to Soundwave's rescue and took a lethal shot from Shockwave, only to be instantly revived and repaired by the Ore-14 infused in the city. Realizing there was no point in fighting a battle that neither side could lose, the group retreated to try again in recruiting the help from their fellow Decepticons. Soundwaves
After convincing the Decepticons, Soundwave led them in an attack on Shockwave's Necrotitan only to end up in conflict with Bumblebee's Autobots. Black Metal Ravage was defeated before witnessing the Titan unleash a deadly energy wave that caused casualties on both sides, Winners & Losers after which he was in favor of teaming up and destroying the giant. Into the Abyss Instead Soundwave and Bumblebee took the fight to Shockwave himself, but the mad scientist summoned the Necrotitan to his side, injuring Ravage who had to be carried to safety. Finest Hour
The defeated Decepticons and Autobots retreated back to Iacon to protect it from the advancing Titan. No Exit A recovered Ravage participated in the battle, but ran away when he smelled an energon leak that would cause a nearby building to explode. Burning Bright He joined in the celebrations after the Necrotitan was brought down by Metroplex, but the fun soon came to an end when he noticed the stars were disappearing--blocked out by an army of Ammonites sent by Shockwave. The Becoming Soundwave and the cassettes intended to help defeat Shockwave in his lair, but stayed behind to fight the Ammonites so as to not overload Skywarp's teleportation powers. Black Planet Shockwave was finally defeated thanks to Megatron, giving Ravage some hope that the Autobots would hail him as a hero, only for Soundwave to find out that their leader had betrayed them and become an Autobot. ...And the Damage Done
Soundwave dispatched Ravage to spy on Megatron and confirm if his change of heart was genuine, and if so was the case, assassinate him. His first move was to test Megatron by freeing a group of captive Decepticons and having them storm their leader's trial, but Megatron rejected the chance to escape. slaughterhouse Ravage went on to sneak onto the Lost Light when Megatron became its co-captain, coming along on its journey and constantly spying on his former leader, including his psychiatric evaluation by Rung. Towards Peace When the Lost Light disappeared completely, Ravage stowed away in the Rodpod. During a Mexican Standoff in between the tense crew, caused by power failures and crew disappearances, Hound spied Ravage. The cat-bot jumped at him only to be shot unconscious by Megatron, when the lights failed again. Ravage was, however, fully conscious and was chirolinguistically ordered by Megatron to keep still and play dead. Twenty Plus One
When the crew of the Rodpod found the wreckage of another Lost Light, Ravage was brought along to sniff out the crew and, after enduring some patronizing from Nautica who mistook him for a pet, located the remains of Minimus Ambus. Suspecting a future version of himself for the destruction, Megatron had himself locked in a cupboard with Ravage who, angry and disappointed, confronted him on his betrayal. Megatron admitted he'd switched sides because he'd grown to see himself as a monster, saddening Ravage who still saw him as the embodiment of the Decepticon cause, but their heart-to-heart was then interrupted by the discovery of more bodies. Realizing the Decepticon Justice Division was responsible, the two regrouped with the others, where Ravage sniffed out a still living Rewind. slaughterhouse Once the alternate Lost Light was dealt with and their own version restored to reality, Ravage offered to return to the other Decepticons, but Megatron gave him a counter-offer to join his crew instead, asking if he truly wished to remain with the Decepticons after having seen the D.J.D.'s dirty work. The Road Not Taken It seems Ravage took up Megatron with his offer, as he is seen in Megatron's quarters with the former Decepticon leader as he quietly regards his Rodimus Star.

Hearts of Steel
Starscream sent Ravage to kill Tobias Muldoon, who had deserted the Decepticons when he learned they were evil. Ravage tracked him to Stanford Merriweather's house in San Francisco and crashed into the household, startling Muldoon, Merriweather, Merriweather's daughter Kitty, and Mark Twain. The humans fled the house as Ravage broke through the wall.
He then pretty much got his ass kicked by Mark Twain, who took advantage of Ravage being momentarily trapped in rubble to flick a cigar at him, thus igniting a gas leak. The explosion flung Ravage into the bay, never to be seen again. Hearts of Steel #3

Notes
- A working name for Ravage was "Stalker".<ref>Bob Budiansky Botcon Panel Coverage</ref>
- As given in early Universe-style profiles published in The Transformers Comics Magazine, Ravage's nickname is Cat.
- Alternate names, narration and in-universe descriptions by other characters over the years have inconsistently described the specific sub-genus of feline which Ravage represents as a jaguar, a panther, a puma, and sometimes even as a canine.
- Ravage's original package art is by far the most-copied depiction of any Transformer. It was, of course, adapted for his Transformers Universe profile, but was also used (twice) in 1984's "back-of-the-box" battle scene,<ref>http://www.botchthecrab.com/galleryImage.asp?gallery=7&image=33</ref> and was copied in licensed coloring books and storybooks; the pose also showed up repeatedly in the Marvel Comics. In "Time Wars Part 2" (Marvel UK #200), artist Robin Smith copied the art multiple times across several subsequent panels. And it was, of course, recolored for Howlback's card-art. Yikes.
- According to the Transformers Adventure Game Book "Dinobot War", Ravage's cassette mode is labelled as the soundtrack to the musical Cats.
- In the Japanese dub of the original The Transformers cartoon, all of Frank Welker's various growling and snarling sounds for Ravage were maintained and not redubbed with a Japanese voice actor (though Yutaka Shimaka did speak as Ravage during the character's one lone instance of dialogue in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3"). Frank Welker was not credited in the Japanese version, either. Jerks.
- Exactly the same thing happened in the Brazilian dub for the series, but to be fair, voice actors in Brazil were never credited for their work until the late nineties. Welker only received the same treatment.
- Ravage's Beast Wars robot mode is simply a modified Transmetal Cheetor with Tigatron's beast head.
- Ravage's transformation to cassette mode in "The Agenda (Part 2)" was accompanied by the Generation 1 transformation sound effect.
- Ravage's profile in the IDW Beast Wars Sourcebook seems to suggest that, in the body he is first seen in the Beast Wars, he possess three separate modes; robot, beast and cassette.
- Reportedly, Hasbro wanted to bring Ravage's "Jaguar X-9" figure over to the States as part of the Beast Wars 10th Anniversary line, but they couldn't find the mold. Bummer.
- The name "Ravage" became unavailable as a trademark during Beast Wars, so Hasbro used the alternative "Shadow Panther" instead, and when even that turned out to be off-limits, used the somewhat clunky name "Tripredacus Agent". The name "Ravage" eventually became available again in time for Energon, but apparently Hasbro decided to play safe and added a prefix, thus releasing the Energon toy under the compound name "Battle Ravage" (and later, its redeco as "Command Ravage"). Hasbro also used "Battle Ravage" for the Alternators toy and also intended to use it for the reissue of the original Generation 1 toy available with the Toys"R"Us exclusive Classics-affiliated "Commemorative Edition" reissue of Soundwave... but then decided that the single name "Ravage" would work just as fine. Thus, the reissue is still named "Battle Ravage" on the packaging, but simply "Ravage" in the instructions. Following that, multiple subsequent toys have simply used the name "Ravage" again.
- At JoeCon 2011, Rik Alvarez and John Warden participated in a "Treasures from the Hasbro Archives" panel, which revealed that an unproduced Rise of Cobra "Arctic Baroness" figure would have come with a robot panther modeled on Ravage. While Alvarez was ambiguous about the figure's identity, Warden consistently denied that it was actually going to be Ravage, though admitted the use of Ravage design cues was intentional. Neither the Baroness or the robot panther were tooled, with the panther in the photo being the only one in existence.
