Title:
Ransack
Description:
Ransack (Scout Class, 2005)
Takara ID number: GD-05
Takara release date: January 20, 2005
Accessories: Twin-barreled blaster, Speed Planet Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: sc92
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Cybertron Ransack is a Scout-class toy, transforming into a Velocitronian-style motorcycle with transparent wheels. By inserting a Cyber Key into the cycle mode’s back end, a pair of non-firing guns flip out to form thrusters. This assembly becomes his hand-held blaster-weapon in robot mode.
"Gasket” was first released in the second wave of Takara Galaxy Force product. "Ransack” was later released in the first wave of Cybertron Scouts, but with a rather significant reduction in paint operations from the Takara version. Most immediately-noticeable is the complete lack of painted border on his Cyber Key (though it did gain a Cyber Key Code on the back), but Ransack is also missing several bits of gold paint on his forearms and blaster-barrels, as well as the black paint on his heels (shown in Hasbro stock photography). Ransack did, however, gain a small Decepticon symbol on the base of his blaster that Gasket lacks.
A persistent assembly error for this mold involves the rear wheel; it’s installed upside-down, causing the wheel to not sit flush with the rest of the bike, which ends up leaning forward somewhat. See "Notes” for more details.
This mold was also used to make the BotCon 2006 exclusive Axalon Rattrap (the one use of the mold where the above assembly error was fixed), and it was also used as the model for Quickslinger and pre-beast mode Tarantulas in "Theft of the Golden Disk”.
