5.0 out of 5 stars First Energon Figure I Picked Up, December 13, 2003

I'm a big fan of the original Ravage character (the black panther that popped out of Soundwave's chest in the original series,) so Battle Ravage was the first Energon figure I picked up. That, and the fact that it was the only Energon figure Wal-Mart had left.

I've been pleased with the figure, though. Transformation is simple, and he comes with a nice variety of weapons. Even better, all the weapons easily attach to Ravage in both beast and robot mode, so kid's aren't going to loose the weapons *as* quickly. The weapons are very well sculpted--one laser cannon looks just like the original Megatron's fusion canon, which is a very nich touch. The missile launcher works extremely well, maybe even a little too well. And the tail can be detached and used as a mace while in robot mode. Finally, the weapons can be assemled to form an even larger laser canon, which can be used by other "Energon" figures.

The Beast Mode looks great, but I have a couple of complaints of the figure in general:
1.) Beast mode looks WAY to much like the Black Lion from Voltron. I keep wanting to yell "And I'll form the head!" everytime I look at him.
2.) The front claws could have been articulated better. They tend to get in the way in robot mode, and curl up funny in beast mode.
3.) Most insulting, however, is that Battle Ravage is described as a "mindless drone" in the pack-in comic. My favorite Decepticon--reduced to drone status--arrgh.

Still, a really good figure, much better than anything (besides Unicron and Starscream, anyway) to come out of Armada.

Well it is about time we get to have another ravage figure to add to our collections. Even though the original ravage was kinda whack as a toy he was the best soundwave cassette in the cartoon. well back to this figure nice toy transforms easily, good for the young kids who all these toys are made for. and all the adults should stop complaining of how they look. there made for children not us. nothing can compare to our transformers. but these are our kids transformers. i like to collect all transformers g1 to energon doesn't matter to me. but i understand why they make the new figures the way they do to appeal to children. well keep up the good work hasbro.

This review is from: Transformers Energon Terrorcon Battle Ravage (Toy)

In the series, comics, and new movie that feature him, Ravage is a great character, the intelligent (if often voiceless) and proud stealthy hunter. Unfortunately, none of the other versions of him translated into plastic that well: G1 Ravage transforms into a cassete, Beast Wars Ravage was various repainted Cheetor toys that didn't look much like Ravage at all, and the Japanese ones, which do look like him, are prohibitively expensive, and movie Ravage merely transforms into "reentry mode" by scrunching up.

In other words, there is only one Ravage that can transform from a full beast mode to a full robot mode - namely, Energon Ravage. He's also a good army-builder, if you've got the cash: even if they weren't used that way in the show despite the name, one Command Ravage commanding three or so Battle Ravages is sure to strike fear into the hearts of the rest of your collection.

He's decently poseable, and his two guns can be wielded by both modes in a variety of ways, and even combine into one large weapon. His tail also detaches to become a flail weapon.

Cons: I'm not so wild about the robot mode head design, and the beast mode claws don't really have anywhere to go in robot mode, simply folding down to hang from his arms awkwardly.
