Rattrap killed Ravage in Beast Wars. Now the Rattraps are a Mafia and joyfully torture his smouldering corpse.

"Admirably committed to keeping my word, and dumb as hell" *damn, I felt that*

The figure is actually misassembled, if you swap the beast legs they will be much more flush to the backpack

Ravage’s cg model for the show was a budget thing, the lower half is actually just a recolour of transmetal cheetor, whilst the head was just recoloured from tigatrons beast mode, I’m pretty sure the pyramid head part was to blend the head into the model and hide the fact it’s neck was originally in a different place

In defense of the giant guns, it was the 90s so everyone was giving their characters giant guns even if they didn’t make sense. Aside from that, I really love this figure. Probably not worth $60 but it’s the only con exclusive I got this year…..mostly because for some reason Hasbro revealed a retail version of that Pudgy Pig months before the con version was even released. Smart move, Hasbro! Almost as smart as your underwhelming tiers for that Rancor. 👍

I love Ravage's appearance in Beast Wars because no matter what medium he's in I will never be able to imagine him with any other voice. It makes all of his IDW scenes immediately better than they already were just having this comparatively tiny cat walk in and speak with this deep Russian baritone.

You know, the MMC R40 Ravage does have reference to his reformatted look in Beast Wars. All it is is just him shifting his front paws into hands and then having him stand upright while repositioning his head down, but you would probably prefer that look over what they went for him in Beast Wars. But as weird as Beast Wars Ravage may look, he will forever have one of the best lines/quotes in the show. DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!

Fun fact: panther refers to cats in the panthera genus which includes, tigers, lions, leopards, snow leopards, and jaguars. The black panther is mostly either a leopard or a jaguar with a recessive allele (leopard) or a dominant allele (jaguar) that causes melanism; however any other of the panthera genus that can have melanism can be a panther. So a lion can definitely be a panther.

This guy is probably actually my favorite kingdom deluxe, he’s super fun to mess with and super stocky

The pupils are like the cheetor figure you did, it's like they're piercing your soul. I totally love that they give you the cassette ravage. DECEPTICONS FOREVER

"Clearly a lion's head." Is now a bad time to mention that Ravage was made of re used assets from other characters? Body and leg are Transmetal Cheetor, arms are regular Cheetor minus the arm panels, and the head is... Tigatron's Beast mode's head. So yes it's still the wrong species, but it's a tiger. Though frankly they could have ended up with a more accurate head by tweeking Cheetor's head, because Jaguars and Cheetahs are actually fairly closely related.

It does a pretty good job of recreating what was on screens, and the G1 Ravage was a fun added bonus. BW Ravage was pretty memorable, despite the short time he had. Glad he’s getting a figure, but honestly would’ve preferred Depth Charge or Rampage to come before him.

5:06 Your Logo with a Baseballcap on has to be the most Unironic Funny thing i have EVER seen 😂😂😂

I’ve been binge watching your channel for a week now. I’m actually quite surprised at how people can have such drastic tastes. For me for example, I LOVE the transformers Animated designs, I LOVE the prime designs, I LOVE the game’s designs and I absolutely loved the design of ravage in the show, oh yeah I love beast wars designs too. I’m still trying to figure out what fits your taste after a week and I have no clue. I can never tell if a character fits your aesthetic or not 😂, ever. Every review I’m about to watch is a complete mystery box…

This video has become a comfort video for me and I watch it whenever I feel down, so thank you for this!

I love the development of this perspective end computer arc

To make things even more weird, flurries are Canon in the transformers multiverse. Headmasters had an episode dedicated to Beastformers And Beast Wars II, Moon the wacky animal sidekick might count as one.

Nice to know that you got your computer working again.

It’s nice following another fellow 20-something that ain’t afraid to geek out in a positive community good on you perspective

How does a character manage to be so strange, yet so awesome

I believe those scopes on G1 Ravage are heat seekers or something, also I like to imagine those missiles are just pods containing micro missiles that fire out of the studs on the missile tips.

I think the reason beind Ravages organic animal head is because the show had a low budget and just re-used the model from Tigatrons beastmode head and changed it a little bit.

I think the feet had to be wrong for the sake of the transformation, Unless they cut out the big cat feet as partsforming, and that would’ve been 20 times as cursed. Also, that aside you made at the Masterpiece Ravage compared to the G1 Ravage gives me creepy parallels to Modern Masterpiece vs CHUG. the later may be more Correct and higher quality (usually), but...CHUG can be messed around with and toyed with endlessly (usually) I wonder if Ravage in the show was just the Cheetor’s model with the most obvious “Ravage” details stapled on…

His design was based on budget. They put Tigatron's head on transmetal Cheetor's body. Even as a kid, I could tell they just threw him together. He's still iconic though. RussianRavage ftw. 🙌

Aw yeah, starting off my birthday with a good old perspective end video

Earliest time I've gotten to one of your videos! I got this thing asap and was pretty surprised I really enjoyed it. Even though it's a pretty strange design.

The g1 cassette ravage looks so adorable

In beast wars the gathering comic they gave ravage cheetors form 3 and it works really well in my opinion for ravage more than I think for cheetor

Decepticons Forever . I bought him , personally love the figure

When he mentioned parts forming on the g1 ravage I could just hear emgo saying "It's a g1 toy they all parts form"

Nice That You got both a functioning computer and A Hard to get exclusive

Now that you point it out I wounded how it look as a furr suit

He had lanky arms in the show too.

This thing is such a fun figure. I ordered him immediately, he came in a week, and he's so fun! And I now carry the G1 Ravage in my pocket every time I go out in public.

I hope this figure gets repainted into transmetal Tigatron someday. There was an old botcon version of that but that figure, but that thing is really expensive. There was a comic where Tigatron and Air razor were brought back by the Vok after Tigerhawk died. I liked that because Tigatron is my favorite Beast Wars character and really got dealt a bad hand by the show after season 1.

I guess this is the final part in the perspective end Windows 10 arc

I think you owned several original 80s Ravages by now... The one from Wal-Mart back in 2019, the one from the Encore reissue back in 2009, and so forth...

I used to think this guy was Shadow Panther when I was a kid. My only exposure to Ravage was ROTF and I knew nothin about G1 other than "Why's Optimus truck mode just a box". Nowadays I love Ravages inclusion more but the highlight for me is the Megatron message in the golden disc. Makes me wonder what a 90s CG styled G1 show would be like. *And no the Netflix series doesn't count*

You got a )I think 70$) set just because you said one time that you would even though your in a bad financial position. Perspective, you continue to amaze me.

You may already know this stuff but i thought i`d mention it anyway. Ravage in beastwars looks as weird as he does because hes a Hodgepodge of recycled model parts, i believe this was done as a cost cutting measure. his body is least partially just Transmetal Cheetors body recycled, especially apparent in the legs. and his head is just flat out Tigatrons beast mode head thats been modified. i`m not sure where the arms come from, i think they might be recycled from Tigatron and cheetors robot modes with some pieces missing maybe.

I'd say the other problem with the head is that it's textured and was smooth in the show.

Rattrap mafia, the one the only. Great video and I have a question. Do u have any other g1 figures

6:37 I actually laughed at that scene when I watched it, I don't know exactly why, I guess it's just the visual of Ravage doing his battle cry "DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!!" and turning into a tiny cassette tape. I don't think I knew that's how he could control his ship because I saw him drive his ship normally earlier.

Got this for my daughter for Christmas, she's a big Soundwave fan so got her this and the giant Funko pop Soundwave. She doesn't know about either ☺️

Thank god someone said it, I’ve never liked ravage’s beast wars design, especially the head. It felt so weird that his skull was the only one I disliked in the series

You are most dedicated person on KZfaq

I think this was supposed to be based on the Takara tommy beast wars toy of ravage.

Awesome review perspective! Love the look of this guy by I wont be getting him. Other than that it's very nice!

3:23 waiting on that video to happen 👀 Edit : I think the front legs are put on wrong sided accidentally

Ravage is one of my favorite characters

Panthers are technically a group of tigers, lions and other big cats

DECEPTICONS... FOREVEEERRR! I love the fact that he has a Russian accent, it's kinda funny.

I honestly don't blame you for disliking the design I hated it to when I first saw it

I just kinda assumed that the cat mode was more of a homage to the original Ravage since the G1 Ravage turned into a cat

I think what you call the triangles on their skin are his manes giving credit to your fursona and it being a lion instead of a Jaguar

One of my favorites from kingdom by far. I personally dig the idea of Ravage being an undercover agent for the Tripredicus council, why is he russian? Writers were on some wild stuff back in the 90s.

I heard about it, but I haven't seen the three part Beast Wars episode "The Agenda", that features Ravage. And I honestly won't see until I get my hands on this Covert Agent and G1 Ravage 2-pack. As it's pretty cool. But to quote this exclusive set in two words, "Decepticons Forever!"

People prob told you this but the alt mode on the figure is like the japanese figure that was a retool of transmetal cheetor.

If I had to guess this mold is either a pre tool of the tigatron or this is the basis for the tigatron, while it does resemble and barrow from Cheetor I think this is more than likely the case

I came across this figure a couple weekend ago. Thought he looked really cool and kinda wanted to get him. But as soon as I saw his price point I said no thanks. I’m not paying a border line leader price point for a deluxe class figure with an extra gun

I’m thinking of getting this figure but honestly I’m not sure, he feels out of place to me as he’s the only none season 1 character to get a figure in Kingdom.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that ravage is a jaguar in both g1 and beast wars not a panther. His Japanese name is jaguar as well. And the reason why older figures alt modes where so vaguely feline because more often than not he was a repainted or a repaint to other feline transformers . The headlump looks like a beanie to me or a Jewish Yamaka and to me either is hilarious

Try checking out the mmc r40 Jaguar. I only purchased it for the upgrade Tyrantron accessories but quickly feel in love with it. So much so that I've easily passed on every subsequent ever Ravage since.

a suprise to be sure, but a welcome one

I like this figure.

Sound wave when he finds out what ravage becomes in beats wars

that's FIVE. FIVE times the Rattrap mafia has broken someone's limbs AH AH AH AH

Mfw perspective keep hitting us with that billion dollar rattrap mafia

TL;DR Lion Ravage still makes sense I don’t see anyone mentioning this so I’m just gonna say “Panthers” aren’t an animal the way you think they are. “Panther” referers to and animal in the Panthera genus which includes, lions tigers, leopards and the like. Leopards and Jaguars are just more likely to exhibit the black coloration we associate with “Panthers.” So technically, a lion head works for Ravage.

(2.29) I mean technically lions can somewhat also be considered panthers since lions belong in the Panthera Genus

For some reason KZfaq in subbed me from you, that explains why I’ve missed on a month worth of videos from you

The furry, the chest and the Russian voice

Well technically the back pack has the “hair” he’s supposed to have

DECEPTICONS FOREVER!

Ah, you see, the cat mode shoulders are misassembled. Just pop them off their ball joint and swap them Story time! I actually got this guy mid September! I saw someone on Twitter saying that EB Games had Ravage early one night, so I went the next day and got one! However, when I went in the next day, I found out that they had screwed up and they weren't supposed to put them out yet, since the street date was October 22nd. So, there I was, mid September, with Pulsecon Ravage long before anyone else had one. It was a pretty nice feeling, since I normally get stuff long after everyone else

It's interesting that they used the g1 ravage

So I’ve been rewatching some of your older video’s and when I got to this one, I just realized the Covert Agent Ravage’s design is similar to the Transmetal Tigertron. How possible do you think it is that we might get a Redeco of Transmetal Tigertron?

I do really like this figure, aside from needing to swap the cat arms around but it's still a great addition to my collection.

Decepticons forever!

I can sorta understand why that some people might mistake ravage for a doberman.

The last Decepticon.

no joke i got kingdom waspinator and i did not expect for it be that annoying, i literally hate how his body literally comes undone, and the thing cannot even stand also the wings sometimes come off ( i honestly ain’t the best at writing conversations, also sorry bout this, just wanted to vent about how annoying this figure is.)

Here's some engagement for the algorithm

2:36 okay heres a big cat lesson. The term panther refers to big cats within the family "pantherinae". Some examples include lions, leopards, jaguars, etc. A "black panther" isn't actually a different species of big cat but rather a leopard or a jaguar with black fur. Its actually a birth defect called "melanism". Its similar to albinism but instead its a black coat of fur. So ravage having a lion's head is somewhat accurate. Accept i think they are going for a leopard or a jaguar. Not a lion. Though I don't know if the designers actually knew this.

You should do a video where you roast TF fanart! There's a ton posted to your discord already! Even I've contributed some! I think it could make for an interesting and funny vid!

The front legs in beast mode on my copy were swapped. I had to pop them off and switch them to what they were supposed to be. But I saw some stock photos that were also like this, maybe it’s just a huge mistake hasbro made with the figure

As a furry that looks like one of the classic buff sexy lion sonas from the late 90s

Is it weird that I kinda want an ocelot Beast Wars character?

I thought Ravage looked Bad Ass when the first time he was in Beastwars and he probably looked like that because of the time that had passed between G1 and the Beast Wars Saga especially since the Maximals and Predacons look vastly different from AUTOBOTS & Decepticons

I think the guns are probably the same guns his G1 incarnation had.

I'd like a Shattered Glass Version of this

His robot mode feet look like white loafers.

Out of the Ravage set, the Quintesson Pit of Judgement set, and the G1-toy colored Refraktor set, which exclusive set is the best? Mine is the Ravage, although he is facing some stiff competition with the Quintessons(And I’m not gonna get the Refraktor as I like the show’s color set better). Also I’m pretty sure they just reused the Tigatron beast mode head on BW Ravage’s show model so they could save money on making new assets. That’s what I’ve been thinking since I first watched the show. I do think it works well and suits the character, but I can’t help but notice the resemblance. Have you ever noticed that?

7:50 I guess he's related to the OG Cheetor figure

I'm thinking of getting a potp cutthroat to turn into lazerbeack to go with the ravage

I assumed all beast wars fans adored Ravage’s design. That head is uggo. At least Lions are Panthers leo I guess. Love the beast head movement though. It’s like Ravage, Airazor, Primal, and Megatron get it and that’s it. I like to think the hand cannons are a last resort thing. I love the holsters allowing for the G1 homage. I wonder how the show feet could have been accommodated. Probably by re-engineering the entire legs. You can pop and swap the front legs BTW. They were probably just assembled wrong. As for the lump…it’s a tumour. Terminal. This is the real reason why Ravage accepted death so readily in the finale of the show. He had 3 months left. If I were to redo beast wars, I would have had Shadow Panther be like Prime Soundwave as Megatron’s lieutenant, never loosing a straight up fight(though he could be trapped or something). As the series goes on, he would be seen swiping little bits of technology from crashed pods and Vok stuff until eventually he puts it all together. After season(s) of silence. He activates the machine, puts his finger to his ear. “Covert agent Ravage reporting in”. The idea is he was planted into Megatron’s crew by the Tripredacous council to keep tabs on Megatron but even with Ravage’s knowledge weren’t able to prevent the theft of the golden disk, and thus just kept going with everyone else as they escaped Cybertron leading to the opening of the show. Edit: this is one of my favourite episodes in a while. I haven’t rewatched one of your videos this much since the kingdom wave 3 what’s the best

I only want this because it’s a con exclusive, and if I don’t buy it now, the scalpers will get to it

Now I wonder what the other cassettes/minicons look like (especially ratbat and lazar beak) in beast wars. (Obviously more furry, but still)

I think why beast wars ravgve has beast mode kibble is because he is a tripple changer

swap the beast legs its misassembled Edit: just realized someone already said it
