Ravage (Earth-7045)

''This article is for the Decepticon. For the supervillain, see Geoffrey Crawford.''

No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to Megatron than Ravage. One of Soundwave's most reliable spies, Ravage believes unwaveringly in the Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause. To better serve Megatron and the Decepticons, Ravage has become the most efficient and deadly war machine under his command. He hides himself in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with grim accuracy. His name is synonymous with stealth. His survivors are few.

Ravage's only weakness is bright light, which can temporarily blind him. Perhaps his absolute loyalty to Megatron can blind him as well.

Post Great War
For his efforts in the first Unicron War, Ravage was one of the few Decepticon warriors who was granted amnesty after the final battle of the Great War. Although his loyalty to Megatron ensured he would always find ways to carry on his work, and was thus reformatted into a humanoid body to serve in the Predacon years later.

Beast Wars
Some time after a [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/End_of_the_Maximals!? second battle with the Chaos Bringer], Ravage fell in with the Tripredacus Council a new ruling body among the Predacons, for unknown reasons.

Ravage was eventually assigned by the Council to track down a rogue Predacon who shared his former leader's name, clean up any messes he might have made, and deal with anyone else involved. Ravage made the trip to prehistoric Earth in a specially modified stealth transwarp cruiser. He successfully contacted the Maximals under Optimus Primal's command and allied with them to capture Megatron. Due to the stealth capabilities of his ship, and the fact that Tarantulas was also an agent of the council, Ravage and the Maximals easily captured Megatron and imprisoned him.

Megatron, however, had one more card to play. He knew that Ravage wasn't going to let any of the stranded Transformers live, and also knew he had the one thing that would turn Ravage to his side. Using a fragment from the Golden Disk, Megatron showed Ravage something which shocked him — a message from the original Megatron. As a safeguard against potential defeat, Megatron had left instructions for the descendants of the Decepticons to use transwarp technology to return to prehistoric Earth. Although the message cut out before it was finished, the current Megatron's plan worked: Ravage, moved by the sight of his former master, released Megatron. After Megatron explained the rest of the message, Ravage joined the Predacons and turned on the Maximals. Megatron and Ravage attacked Cheetor and Optimus Primal, at which point he transformed into his old microcassette alternate mode, jumped into the tape player on his ship, and started playing wicked guitar solos.

His latest treachery was short-lived. During the assault on the Axalon, Rattrap infiltrated his ship and used fusion grenades to cause an explosion that destroyed the vessel and Ravage himself. As the inferno headed toward the bridge, Ravage raised a fist and shouted, "Decepticons forever!" to whomever heard or cared.

His head, seemingly all that remained of him, was knocked into the water below the Axalon by one of Tarantulas's Arachnoids.

Weaknesses

 * Ravage's optics are more sensitive to light than most other Cybertronians.

Equipment

 * Holomatter Projector: holomatter is a solid-light projection technology, used by Transformers operating on alien worlds. Holomatter projectors can create projected facsimiles of native species which are too small or fleshy for Transformers to mimic with their mechanical altmodes. The avatar isn't just a friendly image to fool human beings; it's also the Transformer equivalent of a remotely operated vehicle, allowing Transformers to go places and perform actions that would otherwise be prevented by their size and the need to camouflage their true identities. Having an avatar in a location is like the Transformer being there himself. An avatar can function up to at least 400 miles away from the controlling Transformer, even when separated by solid walls.


 * Cloaking device

Transportation

 * Soundwave's chest compartment (formerly)
 * Nemesis (formerly)
 * GroundBridge: A scaled-down iteration of space bridge technology, a GroundBridge allows transport to coordinates on a single planet, or even (with great difficulty) into the planet's orbit. Considerably easier to maintain and less costly in energon to operate, it is the primary means of coordinating Transformer forces on planets.
 * Transwarp cruiser

Weapons

 * Hip-mounted missiles (formerly)


 * Pistols
