    Looks more wolfish than like Ravage, but either way, it's cool!

    It's Ravage. He was introduced in the first mini-series, The Gathering. Magmatron found his BW series-body remains and put his spark into a blank protoform.

    And yup, that looks like Torca running towards. We'll definately know when they show us the final version of the page today.

    Actually, in the BW comics, non-show characters are getting lots of screen time. Furman's said that every toy made is fair game.

    It's Tripredacus Agent AND Ravage. We never got a Ravage toy in the states during BW. We did however get a repaint of TM2 Cheetor in Ravage's colour scheme that was called Tripredacus Agent(It was an apology toy, we were supposed to get the repaint and just pretend it was Ravage).

    So in the BW Comic they took the idea of a battle damaged Ravage and used his Tripredacus Agent design.

    looks great. I don't know if this idea has been brought up before but, would it be cool if they did a comic of pre-beast machines and also have megatron's feelings on it.

    The finished art is up.
    It's Razorbeast, not Torca.

    The plot for "The Ascending" certainly sounds tantalizing. I can't wait to see more of LioConvoy and Razorbeast! I've been looking forward to another BW comic since "The Gathering".
