charle5! is usually a pretty reliable source who provided many previously unseen prototypes, so I trust his word in this.

EDIT:

PICS!

Saw this at a shop which sell proto/testshot today.
Enough of these things leak out to run a whole shop for them? :eek:

New jaguar head, eh? Reminds me of X-9 Jaguar. Excellent. :smokin:

The pic showing the jaguar head does not fill me with enthusiasm if this rumour is in fact true. The head looks very out of place to me.

The picture is a Photoshopped recolor of Tracks with an X-9 Ravage head stuck on. The real thing would look a bit different.

I'm curious as to whether it will have a tail.

Which car company was it that produced the Jaguar?

Uh... you mean Jaguar?

As for the bot... I don't know. I'll have to see it rather than a photoshop. The idea sounds kinda neat, but it can also go very wrong.

The backstory for Ravage should also be quite interesting as to why the Decepticons choose Ravage -a mere cassette bot at that time (BW Ravage comes later err earlier :rolleyes: )- for the Binaltech process instead of a "big" one?

odd choice, personally out of the models used so far i would have thought the meister mazda (mx-8 isn't it can't remember off hand) would be a better match for ravage its more svelte than the corvette. will wait to see what it looks like before i judge too harshly though.

Wow! I hope this comes to pass. I think it's a good direction to head in. Far more intresting than a repainted Autobot. Hey... ok, they're not gonna do it, but how about a remolded 20th Prime as soundwave...! Would fit with the car alternators..could come with Laserbeak instead of the matrix.

I dunno how well the Tracks mold would work and I'd be more inclined to buy it if they did more than remold the head. Black and red they already did with Dead End, where's the purple?

I really like the sound of this one. I think I'll pass on Tracks, and get this one, instead, and I might get Hound instead of Swindle just to keep bots and con somewhat balanced.

I'm assuming that the cons picked ones that are damaged in the first place. Also, it would be to their advantage to upgrade a casette bot over a "big" one, since by upgrading the casette bot, you'd have a net gain of one big bot.

Interesting fact, BW Ravage wouldn't really be too much bigger than his original form, seeing as the Maximals and Predacons were only about the size of minibots. Also, he does come later, but he ends up in the Beast Wars because he goes back in time, to follow the Maxies and Preds.

Sounds real cool

Sorry to change the subject, but have any of you seen this semi TF based UT2004 Mods

http://www.cyberspace-market.com/robostorm/

fairly cool, huh.

It means that you dont get into vehicles, you just are them, and their robot forms.

(Theres an autobot symbol on one of the robots in there aswell i think)

Updates:
A confirmation of two protos, which goes against the "fan kitbash" theory. Looks like he's a convertible, and he might end up as a convention exclusive (damn!).
Seibertron also claims the license plate hints that the US name might be "Battle Ravage", which would make sense.

Yeah, that. It's a 'Vette and it's Ravage, how can I possibly not want one?
