A Closer Look at ROTF Mail-In Ravage.

A few months ago we had a report that the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance Mail-In Figure would be an Exclusive repaint of Deluxe Ravage. Energon Pub Member S250 shares with us images of the robotic cat. This Ravage is painted red and black, with yellow and chrome highlights. You need 3 N.E.S.T. Stickers and the Mail-in certificate from the Battlefield Bumblebee vs. Infiltrator Soundwave 2-pack to obtain the Ravage. Check out the images below.

These colours seem rather random. Even if I liked the ROTF line, I wouldn't go out of my way to get this one.

First time chrome has seen the US in... how long now?

Yellow eye, cromed missiles, the red may seem out of place, but, he is a good homage to G1 Ravage (Fun fact: In the mexican dub, he is called [b]Destructor[b]). I really hope this promotion applies to Canada and Mexico.

Is it just me, or does Ravage look like the Black Lion from Voltron?

The only compulsion I feel to get this figure is to participate in the long dead 'mail away' campaigns.

I guess the red, and yellow are atmospheric entry colors? Like the points that got superheated?

Yeah, that's how I feel too. However, I don't have Ravage yet, or Soundwave, and I want Bludgeon, maybe Mindwipe and Skystalker, so I figure another Bumblebee with a cool battle mask isn't so hard to swallow for it.

Also, is the Battlefield 2 pack exclusive to anywhere? Is it out yet?

Regular ROTF Deluxe Ravage was the pile.

With Mail-in ROTF Deluxe Ravage, the bag's been lit.

It's not just you. When I saw these pics, I thought it looked like Black Lion too.

Maybe some crazy customizer will buy 5 ravages, paint them the appropriate colors, and make a Voltron.

Of course. They gotta encourage the extra effort somehow.

Ditto, I already have two stickers and I'm bound to end up with more. I have no interest in the two pack you have to buy to get the certificate, but I can always take it out and give to toys to kids I know.

Finally chromed out parts. Bout time they started using silver instead of gold. I miss the transmetal figures hasbro should bring the idea back. It kinda reminds me of one of the voltron lions. Wonder if thats what they were going for?

Though I'll be passing on this one, I would very much like to see more mail- away figures in the future. I love getting cool stuff in the mail, makes me feel like a kid again....

I wonder why only the front legs are chromed? That seems a little odd considering Ravage is a 4 legged animal..IMO the yellow is what throws it off but the idea of getting one in the mail is hard to pass up..

I have 8 of the stickers in question..I wonder if you'll be able to photocopy the order form..I wouldn't mind picking up a few extra to help out those who can't get and so they can avoid the ridiculous price of getting one on the market...LoL event hough it's seemingly easier I wonder how many will be available..Or could this be another Aveo Swerve happening :P

many will get it and I doubt theres only a couple thousand like swerve chevy aveo. That being said... yes i'm getting it.. does anyone have extra upc's/stickers. I only opened RoTF Prime... pm me if anyone has extra upc/sticker. I'll open the bee soundwave when I find him.

Remember wonderbread he-man mail in now he's expensive. I think it's wonderbread? sold all that when I was young. So yes mail in toys bring back the kid in me. Keep that up.

I can see a lot of people buying the two pack, removing the certificate, then returning it. Leaving a lot of other people pissed off when they buy the returned certificateless sets.

Not a real fan of the ROTF Ravage mold plus I have to get the two pack figure set to get the order form, I'm gonna pass.
