Battle Ravage (2004)
Alternator ID number: 11
Binaltech name: Ravage
Binaltech ID number: BT-11
Accessories: Engine-blaster

Alternators "Battle” Ravage (presumably named so for trademark reasons) is a retool of Autobot Tracks from the same line. Like Tracks, his alternate mode is a licensed 1:24 scale Chevrolet Corvette Z06, in his case a black convertible version of the model compared to Tracks’s hardtop version. Like Tracks, Ravage features opening doors, hood and trunk, plus a detailed driver/passenger compartment including a dashboard. In robot mode, he retains Tracks’ upright biped robot form, just replacing the Autobot’s head sculpt with a new sculpt inspired by Ravage’s Beast Wars form, complete with opening jaw. Like Tracks, each robot mode forearm is equipped with slide-out (non-firing) double blasters, a part of his engine forms a double-barreled hand-held blaster, and two (non-firing) missile launchers attached to the sides of his back are "hidden” next to the seats in vehicle mode.
The Japanese Binaltech version differs from Hasbro’s Alternators version by having parts of the vehicle mode shell made of die-cast metal and has the entire car shell painted, whereas the Alternators version’s vehicle shell is made entirely out of plastic. The Binaltech version is also notable for sporting the American name "Ravage” rather than the established Japanese name, "Jaguar”, also for trademark reasons. Both versions sport a license plate that simply says "RVG”, even though test shots of the Alternators version still featured a "BTL RVG” license plate.
The Tracks hardtop version of this sculpt was also used to make Alternators Swerve, whereas the convertible version originally used for Ravage was used as the basis for the one-of-a-kind BayBot.
