which alt ravage would you rather buy, corvette or jaguar xk?.... in terms of playability, transformations, modes, paint apps, plastic type, etc., etc.... which one is the better figure?

Personally I prefer the Battle Ravage Corvette mainly because of it's modes, transformation and highly poseable.

Cheers!

I like ravage jaguar xk, because the other one is the same as tracks I believe? with just a new head. I dont like that, but both are good.

Yep, get the jag. He is the ultimate ravage. He doesn't have a functional trunk or hood like the others, but he makes it up in coolness. Great figure anyway.

If you want the vette, get Tracks(blue or yellow) or Swerve(rare and expensive though for swerve)

All vettes transform the same way. There are a few differences here and there ... Battle Ravage is a convertible, but tracks is not.

I just think Battle Ravage is silly looking with that head, but if you like the 'vert feature ... I say go for it. Also, there aren't many Decepticon alt/BT's. It's nice to have him for that very reason.

I say jag too, although I do not hate the Battle Ravage, there are 3 other versions of the vette I like better: Blue Tracks, Yellow Tracks, and Swerve.

Plus the jag is much more feline looking and a bit off the beaten path for alternator transformations and robot modes. He also is a clearer representation of his G1 self, where as the vette version is more like his BW self ("Decepticons Forever!!!").

I like the xk better. At first i didnt like the cat mode but now that I have one the xk and the cat mode is alot nicer lookin that the vette. Now if the vette were a 2007, it might complicate things. But the xk looks alot like the vanquish and vanquish is the sexest Aston Martin ever, and i have a cat so xk ravage wins

The xk not only looks better, but like someone else mentioned, the corvette mold is already used by another in the Alt line.

The xk mold gets point for originality and just being downright sexeh in my book

-B

Another vote for the Jag... He just looks cool transformed and next to another Decepticon Alt like Shockwave. I don't hate the corvette version, but I prefer Tracks as a corvette.

awesome, thanks for the info guys.

Get both if you like both of them

Warning!!! Alternators/Binaltechs can be addictive. I'm totally in love with them.

you're not kidding coolpop.

Just this past week I purchased;

-alt prowl
-alt nem. prime
-alt shockwave
-alt smokescreen
-alt camshaft
-alt mirage
-BT-18 clear mirage
-KP autorooper/atari
-BTA-2 sunstreaker
-BT dead end
-BT sideswipe
-BT blue prowl
-BT swindle
-BT yellow tracks

and traded for;

-alt wheeljack

I as going to take my time, but I found most for very reasonable prices.

5 more and I'm done alt/BT and KP!

Both seem great but I don't own either of them so I can't comment on what they're really like.
I have Blue Trakcs, and Tracks is a favourite character of mine. I have him from G1, and I love his Alternator form too. The Corvette mold is very nice.
The fact that Battle Ravage is a convertable is a nice extra, and I do like that mold anyway, but Jaguar Ravage is nice because he's a unique mold, and Ravage was an animal shaped robot in G1, not a human shaped robot with an animal head like Battle Ravage.

jaguar ravage is the one to get. ravage is supposed to be a cat and battle ravage looks like one of those egyptian gods or something. the cat head on the robot body just doesn't look good.

I'd buy both. The Corvette version for Reprolabeling into Razorclaw, the Jaguar version because it really is Ravage in Alternator form. Pure & simple.

I prefer the Jag XK myself.

I totally feel you AQ. I thought I was the one went berserk collecting Alt/BT/KP these 2 months, now I find a dude who's even more aggressive - YOU!

Are you the extreme completionist type also getting all BT smokescreen number variants (#1, #2, #7 & #8 ), red BT Jazz & BT-17 Black Convoy? (I saw you got yellow BT Tracks & blue BT Prowl) I'm still thinking really hard.

Good luck hunting down last few pieces you need.

Cheers!
