Ravage is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.

Hear me Howl! Time to leave them all behind, I’m my own master now.

One of Soundwave's Mini-Con minions, the dogmatic Ravage prefers to stay silent, talking only to recite Decepticon code.

Fiction

Aligned novels

Like all of Soundwave's minions, Ravage would prowl around Megatron's Kaon headquarters, keeping an eye on his gladiators. Soundwave considered Ravage and Laserbeak more valuable than Frenzy and Rumble, so he did not send them to search for the Matrix of Leadership in Crystal City. He let them roam around the audience during Megatron and Orion Pax's hearing with the High Council. Like the other Minicons, Ravage gets restless when Soundwave makes intense calculations and he isn't allowed out. Exodus

While torturing the traitor Axer for information, Soundwave released Ravage who crawled over the helpless Decepticon, ripping components out one at a time with his teeth. Retribution

Generations

Data disc? More like a Mooncake.

• Ravage & Decepticon Rumble (Legends Class, 2012)
  • Series / number: 01 / 001
  • Accessories: Disc case

• Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro)

Part of the first wave of Generations Legends Class toys, Ravage transforms from a "data disc" into a robotic jaguar. He is designed to interact with the Voyager Class Soundwave mold, being capable of storing in and launching out of Soundwave's chest compartment, and features a partial, spring-loaded transformation to cat mode that is triggered when a button on his underside is pressed. He comes with a clear-purple plastic case which can be used to store him in disc mode.

He was only available in a two-pack with Decepticon Rumble. He was later redecoed and retooled into Steeljaw. Steeljaw inherits his exact "circuit board" pattern with no alterations, the only repeat in the line.

The TakaraTomy release of Generations Ravage has some slight differences from the Hasbro version. In addition to noticeably warmer plastic colors, silver paint has been added to parts of his, well, rump-panel. His circuit-board pattern is the same as the Hasbro version, only mirrored on the vertical axis.

He was only available as part of a four-disc set with Rumble, Frenzy, and Ratbat.

This toy was repurposed as Cloud Ravage as well as the Black Legendisc.
