ROTF Ravage

Here's the ROTF Ravage. When I first saw him in the preview pictures, I knew that I have to get him. I have always love robotic animals, especially felines. It's probably because I start off in the Beast Wars era.

The only downside to this toy is his vehicle mode, it makes him look like he is in some kind of ballet move in midair. The robot mode looks great though, the only thing I would like is a ball joint on the neck instead of its "snapping jaws" gimmick.

As for the repaint, I'd thought I go do something different. I don't really like repainting a figure to its original colors unless that's how it looks best. I like to experiment. And yes, in the end the colors might not match and the result might not look what I had imagine. But the fun is in the process for me.

So does anyone else think this Ravage would make a great Transmetal Cheetor?

  2. Good effort. Now looking at Ravage, I cant help to think of Zoids.

  3. I think a movie version of Shattered Glass Ravage would be a cool repaint.

  4. Thanks guys!

    Mario, that is a pretty interesting theme. I haven't figured out how I am going to do a Cheetor yet, so I won't be surprised if I go with that Shattered Glass design. Although this Ravage doesn't look really cute at all lol. But I really like this mold, probably going to get a few more for other repaints.
