He was killed off in the comics by a cosmically powered Skids by throwing him down a cosmically powered mine shaft.
69th loike... also LOL
Ravage didn't die
lol
This is the Autobot equivalent of an Underbase-powered Starscream
The fact Skids has any sort of role is impressive considering how the cartoons and toy gets overshadowed.

SG Ravage: Oh hai there! Can u see me?I’m the one who’s waving!
@@magnusprime962 You're the white one that looks like Glit right?
IDW's interpretation of the character is arguably my favorite of them all.
C'mon, Soundwave FELT his death across space, you gotta admit that's a powerful moment.
I haven't read the comics and yet when Chris said that I felt like I had been punched in the gut.
Not gonna lie, almost sounds like something out of Kingdom Hearts. Soundwave sensing Ravage's death from across the universe like that. I don't hate it.
John Wick and Soundwave would be best friends.
Oh come on; you say that about all IDW versions of the characters. lol Okays we all do as well.
When he said “Don’t change back” to Megatron, I like how IDW kept it ambiguous whether he meant changing back as a Decepticon or Autobot. It was beautiful and poignant
"Decepticons FOREVER!!!"

@@khoadao3071 Not actually true (Black Panther has been in comics since 1966) but he is the original big cat version
@@seanmcgrath3826 But wouldn't Sky Lynx's Lynx half be the biggest robot cat?
The fact that ravage is so close to soundwave make soundwave look like the john wick in transformers
Now I want fanart of soundwave looking like John wick.
@@decepticonsforever3166 me too
SOUNDWAVE SHOULD HAVE KILLED TARN CHANGE MY MIND!
Soundwave is John Wick
Dope comparison.
His russian accent was so unexpected but so cool.
Who voice beast wars ravage its lee tockar did Russian accent.
@@alex.pvsz1727 Ravage is Lee Tockar's favorite, even owning the original Shadow Panther toy.
@come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge! Jesus Christ
SOVIET ANTHEM STARTS PLAYING!
Not to mention BLING-BLING BOY! Also several other characters.
I like the IDW take on him, the blending of his intelligence with his animalistic instincts as well his reasons for how he feels about Megatron's changing demeanour are why I like this version.
Me too
I like it even more because Soundwave didnt see himself as his Boss... But as his friend
Not to mention him using the word 'wobbles'.
It was heartbreaking when Tarn killed him.
IDW always seems to give us the best take on all the classics.
@@Lneti_VT so true.
"Whether he's a cunning talker or silent stalker, Ravage is one black cat that you definitely don't want to cross paths with"
Damn! I think that's your best outro yet! I love your outros!
yeah but he said it while showing a white ravage :p
@@Biorythym You mean just because of the light you think he is white?
@@Biorythym Well if take a second look? He's black and white in that image. Looks kinda like the Black Lion of Voltron actually.
Isn't Ravage a dog?
@@casualscrollron3923 no
We need another talking ravage. The idea of him being able to speak is awesome
Russian Ravage
@@joycorpus4124 it is I Soviet ravage.
Both
Ikr
he talks in poetry. imagine, autobots walking in the dark and then shakespear....
I like when he talks. Those incarnations seem to be the most fleshed out.
IDW Ravage > every other incarnation.
I’ve always seen him as a primitive creature, so I found it very odd when he could talk in the IDW comics. Still find it really weird.
@@ShinGallon I don't know - the original comics Ravage - especially in the UK stories - was pretty good. His loyalty to Megatron stood out, but the fact that he was smart and self aware really made him into a fleshed-out character. The IDW version seems to basically be a continuation of that persona.
Wait... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got 161 likes! Damn! Bow to me midgets I am a go- *Sees that others have more than a thousand* All around me are familiar faces
Since RotF, I've always known Ravage as an animalistic hunter and savage 'attack-cat', however I absolutely love his depiction in IDW above all others, and want to see more versions of the character as intelligent and verbal.
Learning that his Shattered Glass incarnation looks so cute and speaks like a LOLcat is the best thing I've seen all week
The creaor gave him a Twitter account, Facebook page, etc., for a year or so. There are even sg ravage comics. Google it and have a laugh
IDW Ravage's faith may have been the first time I cried reading a comic, previous deaths hit hard, but were mostly enfurating, his was so sad, specially due to Sounwave's reaction, which showed us how a talented artist can make a faceless robot emote better than some real life people.
Ravage was refrigerated. It was NOT okay.
"Covert agent Ravage, at your service." Best. Line. Ever. Also, I would totally try to pet Ravage. I just... like cats. I mean, really like cats.
His loyalty to Megatron is more blinding than sunlight.
I loved the MTMTE Ravage. They wrote him so well. It was bad enough they killed Skids, but I chocked when Ravage died.
What's MTMTE?
@@syweb2 IDWs More Than Meets The Eye series is where Rodimus is captain of the Lost Light searching for the Knights of Cybertron. After Dark Cybertron story arc Megatron now an Autobot joined as co-Captain. Good comic a absolute read. To many good characters in IDWs run, RIP.
At this point this is just the general consensus for everyone on the character.
I like the Shattered Glass version. That artwork is so adorable
It was made by David Willis, one of the noble hierarchs on TFwiki.net , if I recall correctly
We can totally see him waving at us right now!
And the fact that it's just a recolor of the official artwork for the non SG version is awesome as hell
Ravage is a cool villain, and his Beast Wars and IDW incarnations both made big impacts in spite of their limited screentime.
Nobody
Chris Mcfeely: his largest role has been in the idw continuity
Is that supposed to be a joke or...?
@@fabianrocha9924 yeah its just a joke. I've heard him say it so many times now it felt like it needed to be a meme
@@GrrMaker54321 IDW Is just good at making characters good
And then there’s star saber
@@theraginginfernape9496 Except Ultra Magnus.
This episode made me really, really want a Basics on IDW Megatron.
Ravage managed to NOT be offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream? Ravage is the baddest cat of them all!
Ravage is one of my favorite Decepticons. He's arguably one of the most memorable characters in the series. Not only does he have a menacing side to him due to his ferocity in battle, but he also has a few cute and comedic moments as well. And I'm SO GLAD he survived the animated movie and season 3. Ravage is a survivor along side Jazz, Cliffjumper, Bumble Bee, Spike, Soundwave, and his other cassettes.
The basics on everyone's favorite Bumblebee recolor, the parinoid sharpshooter cliffjumper or rumble and frenzy.
Eager to see a basics on Cliffjumper and a debunking on how he does not die as often as we joke about.
@@myriadmediamusings yeah it's such a pain watching him die.
Or is it Frenzy and Rumble?
@@myriadmediamusings theres alreasy i vid about that (rodimus primal made it i think)
...why do I remember watching a Cliffjumper video... Can't find it, but I remember watching it...
Soooooooo many instances of his G1 package art...

I know his name was actually a stealth jab at the executives who were moving around employees, specifically being "Gee, ax us?"
Beast wars ravage: decepticons forever!
His idw death just tore me up, between Soundwave sensing it despite the distance and his message to megatron as he passed away. I loved that incarnation.
I really like how they did ravage in the bumblebee movie
They really should have made him talk more, it was a neat concept to have him talk when played
Also I liked how, even when speaking, Frank Welker still made those growling sounds.
I mean, they can always just say "Ravage doesnt talk any human launguages, though can speak cybertronian"
@@pifilixxiv3192 Eh, I don't want to hear him speak that garbled, snarling rubbish from the Bay movies. :P
@@alexlemonds2838 They can always just change it to be like simlish in sims games, somewhat listenable but jargin
I think I like IDW's blended take on the character best. Though something about his death feels a little... off.
My complaint about IDW Ravage is I wish he got upgraded into his BW self's humanoid body. Be interesting to see somebody who faced prejudice from humanoid TFs now suddenly be one himself.
IDW Ravage was the best Ravage, and Megatron didn’t make Tarn suffer nearly enough.
I like to imagine that Megatron unmade Tarn completely, so that there wasn't anything left to return to the All-Spark.
Still, it was pretty satisfying to see Tarn get his head crushed to pulp
Everybody take a drink whenever he says "Bob Budianski."
You'll kill us all!
@Kim Yo Jong's Sandwich all hail -logicboi- Shockwave
Soundwave is superior...
1:51 I had no idea that was *_his_* voice
His last line was epic, "Decepticons, FOREVER!!!
"Here's the basics on RRRRRAVAGE!"
I loved that growl he did for his name.
IDW MTMTE Ravage was best. Rest in peace little kitten…
I would make a joke but you would tear it in half
That scene _tore me apart!_
Rest in Pieces, old friend... :'(
Anyway, gotta _split!_
Ambulon is quaking.
Kind of similar to his death in ROTF.
I'm 36 years old and I have always loved Soundwave and all his Mini-Cassettes! I'm also the proud owner of The whole G1 cartoon from the US as well as it's movie! I consider your channel a version of the "Cybernet Space Cube"😉 from the G2 cartoon!
un-der-growth
Thew Adams ravage the midgetcon
hewwo thew channn
Haha you're still on that
Random but not unwelcomed
hi thew
Ravage showing up in the Beast Wars was awesome, I think they got rid of him too soon. So I'm glad he showed back up in the comics. A black recolor of T2 Cheetor was his best look. I made sure to collect BW toys that either shared names with Soundwave & his crew or reminded me of them. So in my head most of them survived into the future & was still causing trouble.
IDW Ravage's death will always be the saddest thing ever to happen in Transformers lore. I knew I'd see it in this video, but it still got me. :'(
Ravage is one of the best Decepticons, I think they should give us more of the talking Ravage!
For me your comment is posted a day ago even thought this was made 18 mins ago 👀👀👀
Laltluangliana Sailop ah okay
I know it would end badly for me..........but if I ever saw Ravage I would attempt to pet him.
Even the ROTF Ravage?
@@ltb1345 yes, even that one.
My favorite is his Corvette alt mode that transforms into humanoid Ravage. Reminds me of a Decepticon Anubis
Ah yes the OTHER famous cassette of Soundwave. Personally among the two I like Laserbeak more, but Ravage is cool in his own right and visually is the superior one. This is why Ravage had more movie appearances.
Laserbek shoup in dark of the moon
Best cassette is either Ravage or Buzzsaw (the sadistic artist, not the non-existent cartoon version). Laserbeak is mostly a big chicken. 😜
@@Brickerbrack wait seriously. I never knew that about buzzsaw.
@@decepticonsforever3166 and you chose your user name to be that?
Buzzsaw is best girl all the way hahaha!
Great overview. He's always been one of my favourites since his debut in '84, and his characterization in the Lost Light storyline was the best, IMHO. His noble death in that comic still brings a tear to my eye.
"I offered you peace, and you ran me over with your car." - Ravage in Transformers vs. G. I. Joe #1
Ravage is what made me fall in love with black cats as a kid. Now I have two.
Ever since I’ve discovered your channel, my love for Transformers emerged once more and now I want to watch more cartoons and read IDW comics so I thank you very much for that 😊. Plus, I do have a recommandation for a future video, the so often forgotten leader of the Sweeps, Scourge! Once again thank you and keep on the great work 👍
10:53 "Ravage, eject!" - Soundwave
Again I never read the comics, but Ravage's part in the IDW story sounds fascinating, especially with how he essentially became Soundwave's therapist.
But for the stuff I actually saw, I'd say "Beast Wars" had my favorite take on the character. "Decepticons FOREVER!"
I should be working on a test right now, but hell I wanted to see this episode! Amazing as always. Ravage is probably one of my favorite deceptions ever. He's just amazing. A giant, mechanical black cat that stalks and kills. IDW even opened my mind into how cool he was when he talked. He's great!
Blaster’s animals, Steeljaw and Ramhorn can talk, so why not Ravage?
Ravage would probably be very savage about roasting just about everyone in the most burning way possible.
Them guys need a basics, for sure
If you’re talking about the G1 series, Ravage talked once in cassette mode, and Steeljaw never talked at all.
Only Ramhorn ever spoke, and at that I think it was an oversight. Or, one could chalk it up to the time anomaly that occurred in that same, single episode he ever talked in.
@@garthdavis4320 in the cartoon Ravage spoke twice, once were we saw in the video and second in the pilot when he gave the false info to Megatron
I like animal Ravage and Laserbeak
Its cute to see Soundwave treat them like beloved pets, and I like the idea of there being different kinds of Cybertronian life, like animals
He has evolved so much since 'is beginin's!
We do need more of Robot Kitty~🖤
I feel like this episode has been a long time coming! But at least with it coming now there’s more to learn about Ravage. Superb as always.
Seeing Ravage in the Bumblebee movie made me realize how much I miss seeing that murder kitty on screen. Put Ravage back in the cartoons Hasbro!
I asked James Roberts (writer of IDW's Lost Light) via Twitter (@jroberts332) about Ravage's meaning at the end when he told Megatron not to change back -- if he was telling him to not return to being a Decepticon, or telling him not to return to being an Autobot. Mr. Roberts kindly responded, letting me know that interpretation was up to the reader, leaving Ravage's meaning up in the air ;)
I think IDW publishing and Shattered Glass are my favorite. IDW is interesting and makes him super likeable. While Shattered Glass is adorable and really pulls off the white and blue.
Ravage will always have a special place in my heart ever since I found a toy of him in a parking lot as a kid and had no idea what he was.
your reading of the idw conversation between ravage and megatron was when I first found you!
great work as always
I prefer the combo when ravage followed megs onto the list light investigating why megs is no longer a con.
A Purrfect blend of animal and intelligence.
Soundwave:Ravage eject operation presentation
In all honesty the friendship that soundwave and ravange have in the IDW is truly beautiful and sad. That Soundwave felt what was his only true friend, who had stuck with him through thick and thin, die from galaxies away spoke volumes of their friendship. Soundwave is my favorite transformer and his friend ship with Ravange is part of that, he treat Ravange with respect as a friend and a loyal pet in almost every incarnation but the IDW shows that fully.
As a child of the 90's, I love Covert Predecon Secret Police Agent Ravage. However as a child I was only familiar with the G1 cartoon depiction of him so when he appeared inside the Axalon and shot the guns out of everyone's hands and started speaking with a Russian accent.... 9 year old me was quite confused...
Ravage, the cat that acts like a dog. Such a good kitty, and good boy. I really enjoyed him in the cartoon, and as I've heard he's great in IDW, so I can't wait to read about it. But I kind of liked him in Beast Wars.
I must admit, I've got a really big soft spot for his Energon counterpart, as his figure was the first transformer I ever owned. I really like that figure.
DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!!
When oh when will we see a toy of Tarn and the DJD?
Official? Never, since they have to be heavily censored and then whats the point. 3rd party? Youre late man, check ebay and such. Had my Tarn like forever ago
@@saltmanz yes, with the price point of having to pay an arm and a leg, plus it doesnt transform
So thats where you got your ravage voice from( 1:52 ), in that IDW voiceover you did!! You sounded just like the cartoon voice! Well done
(To those that dont know chris did a really good fan reading of the IDW magatron/ ravage conversation that he talks about in this video)
Ravage!
I remember him making the G1 transform noise in Beast Wars during the Golden Disc storyline.
Dude turned into a cassette so Megatron had some sick tunes.
Plus the Russian accent was perfect for a leftover soldier deciding sides and the dude could do gun tricks.
5:37
DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!
This sounds cliché but I love your videos there really well edited and you actually got me into transformer more! And I became one of my favorite comic/tv shows series because of your videos!
One of my favorite decepticons, and I even named my kitten after him. May she rest in peace,..
This is the coolest Transformer series ever. Thanks for the awesome work.
IDW ravage’s Death is still sad I wanted him to stick around longer
11:05 Man the siege version, Ravage has gain some weight there!
He's a CHONKER now
*in a Cartman voice*
"No kitty....thats MY pot-pie "
Man, I love your videos! This is one of my favorite TH-cam series, for sure! Thanks for making them!
Ravage is one of the iconic "core" characters that most people with even passing knowledge of Transformers stuff know. Honestly, I was surprised he didn't get a roll of any sort in Prime, as the lack of him there always felt like a void in the show.
Love this episode. Ravage is one of my favourites. If I was given an TF form this would be me.
Of all the deaths in IDW, Ravage’s was always one of the toughest for me :(
I feel like Ravage speaking is a fantastic idea. I mean, if IDW is anything to go by, then the character arcs a talking Ravage can go through are limitless. I wanna see a Ravage who switches sides!
Beautifully done, and that ending is brilliant! Thank you for another awesome video!
I just love Ravage and it's my nr 1 as Soundwave casset. 🥰 No matter if he talks or just growl. You know your doomed.😂
I've grown up with the growling but I'd like to see a talking ravage in more live action, cartoon, and common media
I love these videos. There’s always some little bit of information I wasn’t aware of or had forgotten.
Fantastic episode! Thank you so very much for your channel! This is the highlight of my week and eagerly await your uploads. May we get a Basics episode on Autobot Nightbeat in the near future perhaps???? Keep up the great work and thank you again for all you do for our community.
"Decepticons forever!!"
-BW Ravage
Please do a Basics on everyone's favorite Autobot medic: Ratchet.
NGL Ravage's last moments with Megatron in the IDW comics was just as emotional as Rung's last moments imo.
I'm featuring Soundwave and his cassettes as main characters in my fanfiction, and on that note, I think I'll go with the blended personality of IDW for Ravage, an intelligent speech-capable cassette who serves Soundwave, but sometimes growling or roaring when angry.
Ravage is so cool. I wish we could see more from him
Two hip missiles seemed more like a burden considering he never used them.
Delete this right now
I'd never thought about this for over three decades... Why did you do this?
The same logic can be applied to Soundwave so to speak. He never i repeat never used his shoulder mounted minigun since his creation in G1. In fact only recently in the Cybverse cartoon did they finally have him use it. Something tells me the artists for a lot of TF characters weren't concerned on making sure whether characters actually use certain weapons. They just wanted them to look cool and tough.
@@Burning-TwilightYou're right. The shoulder cannons thing can be said for so many of them actually. Dammit, y'all have me questioning my childhood. Lol. But Ravage specifically would look really, really odd without them.
I like how he still has the classic g1 transforming Sound effect in beats wars, the first and only time that Sound was heard in a cartoon since the g1 cartoons and wouldnt be heard again until transformers animated almost 10 years after beast wars killed him
Soundwave's cassette tapes were the first Transformers that I ever owned. I had bought them in order to use them alongside my GI Joe action figures because I felt that in their robot/beast modes that they were roughly 3.75" scale, and my Cobra army needed some reinforcements. The funny thing was that I liked them well enough to get more Transformers even after I stopped using them with my GI Joe figures. Ravage was an favorite of both myself and my little brother, and I probably own almost every retail version of him.
Pur~fect. What's the matter not fe~lion it it's a total cat~tastrophe. Thank you thank you I'll be here all night.

Ravage when he transform into a Player: J.A.P.A.N
I personally like the Beast Wars version best because it emphasizes he's come a long way since his first appearance.
Honestly, for as badly it was handled, I like the concept of Scorponok and the Terrorcons and really would like to see them revisited as maybe some group that goes around attacking people for their energy and maybe even have them attack Cybertron during the war. You can even do some horror aspects of the alternate color ones being the “commander” or “command unit” and the normal unit being mass drones the Command units can make, giving them a bit of a horror aesthetic as well. I think there are plenty of Things that can be done with the concept

My favorite appearance of ravage would be that one panel in IDW's comics where he was patted like a common housecat and got really mad.
Oh man finally. That was worth the wait. He’s always been my favorite Transformer and I have a substantial collection. IDW killing him off hurt me to my spark. Great work on this Chris!
I loved it when Megatron told Ravage about why he changed to the Autobots
