BTS Toys have released concept photos of a Not-Ravage cassette to go with their soon to be released Sonicron which is a take on Soundwave based on concept art by Guido Guidi. These are just concept photos and may or may not be produced. If it is, then there may be others to follow. Definately much better than the cardboard cassette cutouts on the side of the Sonicron box.

Did Soundwave stop feeding him? He's looking a little gaunt.

Massive body on tiny, spindly legs means pass. And while it's very uncharacteristically anit-G1 of me, Perfect Effect have my loyalty when it comes to "Cassette-bots".

Except they take the cassette out of cassette-bots.

I'm trying to collect Cassettebots, so I'll definately grap this guy. Sonicrun, not so much. Maybe if it goes on sale.

I'm good with my Device Label Ravage.

+ 10 point of awesome for the fact that the official name of this product actually seems to be Not-Ravage

wait... if it isn't ravage, then who is it?

and i don't know what you guys are complaining about it looks fine.

Looks OK to me.

I canceled Sonicron, but this guy is a definite maybe.

I'll wait to see the final images before I declare him as a must buy.

In any event, I have a lot of Ravages, so he's not at the top of my wish list.

More like +10 facepalms.



And some head to walls for good measure.

I hate the stupid "NOT" just call him Ravage please. But considering Hasbro already made one, they should have put the effort into Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Slugfest, or Overkill.

I was a pass for Sonicron, least for time being, but Im a definate buy on this. Love all things cassette especially since this should fit inside Sondwaves tape compartment. Would be nice if figure has the hole inserts to fit some weapons. And maybe one of tbose clear cassette cases for good measure. Time will tell.

There doesn't seem to be much you like unless it comes from Krazy Owner Toys.

I like alot of things. But I dont like it when people are scared to breathe the real name in fear of gettng sued. I can understand the makers of the toys avoiding use of the real names, but the fans ??? That is so lame. Of course I mean no disrespect. Thats just my opinion. I guess Ill go jump in my "Not Escalade" (Chevy Avalanche) and go to "Not 7-Eleven" (Food Spot) and buy a "Not Red Bull" (Rockstar)

And you should give Mike at KO a chance. He brings us the repaints we really want. Not the ones that the Hasbro marketing dept. says we should want. Ive ordered from him 4 times with no problems and even got a free replacement on a broken figure, no questions asked.

I like the name "Not Ravage" (if that even stays, I tend to doubt). It's cheecky.

I do see your point about using the not, it does get rather tedious sometimes. I just included it because that's what the pics were labeled.

However, you must not have seen one of Mike's death threat laced anti American rants. I have seen plenty. That dude is one step away from terrorist.

I have seen one of the IM converstaions between Mike and an angry client posted online. I admit it seemed a bit crazy. However I cannot verify it's authenticity. But the client kept going back and forth taunting him and two wrongs dont make a right. I find that if you send him short simple professional e-mails he responds. He takes much time to get back, but in the end he always takes care of you. He also responds if you post on his forum. Just keep it simple and respectful without giving out too much personal information about your order.

Matches up with Sonicron, then.

I think I'll stick with my G1 ravage... I need more cassettes though... still limited to laserbeak and ravage that came with my Classics Soundwave Reissue...

NotRavage looks to be just as awesome as Sonicron was.

Yeah, notRavage.

Unless this thing has some much need articulation, I don't care. These guys seem to like wasting time on things we already have. I want them to wow me. It isn't working yet.

Yeah, it is strange they decided to make ravage considering we already have a pretty cool classics one that turns into a cassette which already fits in their POS Sonicron.

Agreed.

I know. That's why I put it in inverted commas.

I think BTS is going to lose the 3rd Party race soon if they continue with this trend of producing redundants/inferiors.
