Title:
Ravage Beast Mode Wal-Mart
Description:
Ravage (Alternator, 2007)
ID number: 26
The second version of Alternators Ravage (now without the "Battle”) is an entirely new sculpt, with the alternate mode being a licensed 1:24 scale Jaguar XK (appropriately enough), with all the normal bells and whistles inherent in the line (opening doors, seats, etc). This is a toy of many "firsts”. Not only is it the first Alternators character with two distinctly different toys, it’s one of the first two Decepticon Alternators with an original sculpt (alongside Decepticon Rumble), it’s the first Alternators toy with a European manufacturer’s car model as its alternate mode, and it’s the first Alternators character to have a non-humanoid "robot” mode, as its non-car form is now a quadrupedal big cat.
After Ravage had been released in various European markets, his and Rumble’s releases in the United States were questionable for a while, as the relaunched Alternators line was in its final decline by that point. Ultimately, they were shuffled to be Walmart exclusives, set in an endcap display alongside the Classics Constructicon Devastator exclusive gift set in March/April 2007...in some stores. In others, they were crammed in the normal aisle with everything else. Assuming they even showed up at all.
This Ravage and the aforementioned Rumble were only released as part of the Alternators line, with no counterpart in the Binaltech line, or any Japanese release of the sculpt whatsoever at all.
On this note, Ravage has a Great Britain license plate (which spells out his name as "RAVAGE” this time), regardless of which country the toy was purchased in. The steering wheel, however, is on the left, as in the United States. I say, meow.
