The Hasbro Pulse Con 2021 Transformers exclusive for 2021 is taken from the Beast Wars animated series when Ravage joins the Predacons. The two pack exclusive features a Predacon Ravage with Jaguar mode, as well as a second smaller Decepticons Forever Ravage that converts from a mini-cassette into Jaguar mode.
The exclusive set was provided to us free of charge from Hasbro as an advance review
The window box packaging includes the Transformers War for Cybertron and Transformers Generations logo as well as side panel and rear art of Ravage. The other side panel includes some background the Ravage and this covert mode appearance.
"AFTER THE GREAT WAR, RAVAGE WAS ONE OF THE DECEPTICONS GRANTED AMNESTY AND REFORMATTED INTO A PREDACON. AS COVERT AGENT RAVAGE, HE IS SECRETELY DISPATCHED TO EARTH BY THE TRIPEDACUS COUNCIL DURING THE BEAST WARS. HE IS TASKED WITH TERMINATING THE ROGUE PREDACON CALLED MEGATRON WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE. BUT AFTER THE GOLDEN DISK REVEALS A SECRET MESSAGE FROM HIS LONG-DEAD DECEPTICON LEADER, HE REALIZES WHERE HIS ALLEGIENCE LIES. DECEPTICONS FOREVER!"
The inner tray of the exclusive includes more animated artwork of the Transwarp Cruiser, and a slot for Ravage in mini-cassette mode.
The figure stands 5.5 inches tall in robot mode and is a combination of black and silver plastic cast parts with paint work added for gold trim on the chest and thighs, and also some red on the belt and eyes of the Jaguar robot head.
Ravage also includes two plasters that slot into the grip section of his hands. He is articulated in Robot mode with leg arm and head articulation allowing Ravage to be posed in a number of positions and fighting stances - with or without the twin blasters.
Ravage transformers into the Jaguar beast mode in 20 steps, supported by the usual graphical set of step-by-step instructions. In Jaguar mode we have the same head in use, but the figure is now sat on Jaguar legs that are articulated at the knees and ankles - the tail is also an articulated piece.
The twin blasters now attach to the rear section of Ravage as boosters and to bulk out the rear of the body above the hind-legs.
Also included in the set is the Decepticon Forever Ravage who arrives in Mini-Cassette mode complete with printed detail such as a 60 minute run time and a Japan origin label. The tape features both metal and plastic parts and transformers simply with fold out panels to expose the head, tail and legs.
Once transformed a second set of shiny vac metal boosters clip onto Ravage to bulk his slim frame out a bit further.
The Hasbro Pulse Con 2021 Exclusive Covert Agent Ravage is sold via Hasbro Pulse in the UK, US and Canada and is up for sale, while stocks last, after the first day of the Hasbro Pulse Con event.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
