I have a friend who, despite my having spent thousands of dollars on an entire room of Transformers, as well as owning and having watched repeatedly the entire G1 series on DVD, STILL thinks he knows more about TFs than I do.  He swears that G1 Ravage was a doberman (dog), and not a jaguar (cat).  Keep in mind, this is also the same guy who "remembers" the episode where the Dinobots all combined into one big robot and battled Devastator. :tflaugh

 

Anyway, I need you guys to settle this argument for me, since my word alone isn't enough... :roll

 

First vote is mine, for cat. :thumb

There was a Takara toy named Dober that was in fact a Doberman; however that was not the same toy that became Ravage. I mean, his frickin' Japanese name is "Jaguar". Hello.

the simple fact is that ravage is a jaguar but when designing his toy, takara had to stretch out his proportions in order for ravage's bot mode to properly fill out his micro-cassette mode.

 

his head may look more canine but the elongated head was required for his alt-mode transformation.

  Keep in mind, this is also the same guy who "remembers" the episode where the Dinobots all combined into one big robot and battled Devastator. :tflaugh

That would be sweet....

 

Ravage the dog? lol

 

He even moved like a big cat in the g1 cartoon

I think Ravage looks nothing like a dog...

 

I mean look at the Energon and Beast Wars figures... Those should be hint enough to your friend as to what Ravage is

I just let non current fans say what ever they want. I do admit it is frustrating when some one tries to tell you, an "unofficial expert" about something you know alot about. Just show him how many post you have on a Message board that specializes in all things Transformers.

:tflaugh

 

Someone voted for dog.

Catbot doing it doggystyle.

Ravage is a kitty.. BW Ravage and BT Ravage are testiments to that. But g1 Ravage does lookt quite a bit like a dog to me for some reason.. :redface

Look at the 1984 release catalog, figure set #19 -

If I remember high school biology, a jaguar is a type of cat/feline - like my avatar.

 

 

Take it from a cat.
