Ravage (Transformers) - Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

According to an interview with producer Tom DeSanto published in issue #15 of the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine the original lineup pitched for the Decepticons in the live action Transformers film was Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, Skywarp and Shockwave.

According to an online post by Roberto Orci Ravage was used in an early draft of the script where Scorponok was later used.

Ravage and his partner Soundwave appear in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the 2009 sequel to the film. He has a beast-like robot mode that resembles a cross between a cycloptic jaguar and the Nexu from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. His alternate mode is an entry pod-boat that is launched by Soundwave from orbit to the Earth.

According to the biography and statistics published on the Hasbro web site Ravage is 4 feet tall and his main weapon is his shadow cloak.

In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Ravage is armed with what appears to be twin heavy machine guns mounted on his back, possibly firing standard projectiles or Cybertronian ammunition of some nature. The use of these weapons is seen during his raid on the NEST base when offering covering fire for his ball bearing components with incredible destructive power against lightly armored NEST vehicles and infantry. They are seen only once more during his stalking and short fight against Bumblebee in Egypt shortly before his death.

Other armaments belonging to Ravage are mounted to his chassis, one being a mace like tail and razor edged claws. Presumably due to his serrated appearance with multiple sharp, bladed edges, contact with him at all may cause some damage.
