Ravage
Nearing the end, so let's take a look at the Decepticon's favorite kitty!
The toy is pretty basic. What was once a Micro Change Robo Jaguar is now a black microcassette. No variations, although it was packaged differently overseas. Here in the US it was released in a two-pack. The jaguar mode is pretty good and honestly pretty accurate to the box art, which is rather rare.
The mold would be reused a few times, but we'll get to them later. As for the file card, things are a bit different when compared to the show, which is pretty well normal by this point. The card lists him as a saboteur who almost becomes invisible when he wants, plus he always works alone (more on that in a bit).
For the comics, Ravage was there certainly. He usually acted as a spy or just straight up attacked people (usually Mirage). He also talked. Unlike many of the other character featured this month, he managed to survive to the end of the Marvel series, so that's something.
The cartoon is probably where most people know him. Voiced by Frank Welker, Ravage here was part of Soundwave's cassette crew and spoke only in growls. He had plenty of moments in the early episodes, but again he acted mostly as a spy. He also wasn't invisible so much as good at hiding. He made it to season three at least, where he was part of the animal transformers that got kidnapped by Unicron's brothers.
