"Covert Agent Ravage at your service..." - Predacon Ravage

We may have thought the Beast Wars Ravage would only see toy form via our creative kitbashers. However, Takara has pulled another rabbit out of their hat! Now Japanese (and some lucky American) fans can enjoy him as a toy.

Starting (as with most kitbashers) with the Transmetal Cheetor body, they molded a new chest, head, and pistols.

But they didn't stop there. Worthy of mention is the sticker sheet. They've got a Decepticon symbol and two more stickers for his chest! They also have "Robot Points" printed on the back of the box!

Card isn't hidden with the instructions, rather (like all Metals), the card is peaking from behind the window.

PURCHASING INFO: Beast Wars Metals X-9 -- Japanese Retail is 1,800 yen -- that's about $18 USD

Update 24-Nov-99:
Ravage has invaded eBay with a vengeance. I've seen a few go (from Japan), at the cheapest, about $30. But ActionAce.com has them (in the US) for $29.95 and free shipping until December 25th!
