Title:
Ravage, Battle 1st Robot Mode
Description:
Battle Ravage (Energon Class, 2003/2004)
Takara ID number: SD-06
Takara release date: December 25, 2003
Accessories: "Leopard Cannon” spring-loaded missile launcher, "Night Eyes” cannon, "Tail Crush” tail/flail, missile, Decepticon energon chip
Known designers: Aaron Archer (Hasbro)
Released in the first wave of Energon "Energon Class” toys (basically "Basics”), Battle Ravage transforms into a robotic predatory cat. Moving his outer chest during transformation automatically swings his arms and beast-mode head into the proper positions. His beast mode tail can also detach to become a hand-held flail weapon, the ball-joint having a 5 mm diameter.
He comes with a pair of clear-plastic "energon” cannons: one that fires a spring-loaded missile, the other a non-firing accessory that greatly resembles the fusion cannon used by Generation 1 Megatron. These two pieces can be combined to form the ultimate energon weapon "Energy Rifle” (only named in the Takara release), which in turn resembles G1 Megatron’s gun mode. The non-firing cannon has a Mini-Con-style Powerlinx port, letting it activate Armada-mold Powerlinx gimmicks. He also comes with a clear-plastic "energon chip” which can be attached to pretty much every new-mold Energon toy.
There are several minor variants of the Hasbro version. The initial release of Battle Ravage lacked any way of locking down the torso in robot mode, so moving his arms tends to start the torso’s auto-transformation. Early in the run, a small peg and tab were added to the neck-plate and inner torso (respectively) to lock the robot-mode head and torso down and prevent this. Much later, towards the very end of the line, a Decepticon sigil tampograph was added to the white disc on the forelimb’s shoulder.
The Takara Super Link "Command Jaguar” version of the toy has a few notable differences from the Hasbro version. The most obvious one is that the Takara version uses a rich dark green for its energon parts, where the Hasbro version uses a bright yellow-green. There are also some differences in the paint applications, with the most obvious-at-a-glance difference being that all copies of Command Jaguar have the Decepticon symbol on the shoulder-disc, but also the gunmetal paint on his robot and beast-mode heads have been replaced with matte black, with the face paint layouts also slightly altered. This toy also has the neckplate locking peg from the later Hasbro releases.
This mold was redecoed to make Command Ravage.
