Jag Ravage?....yes he is!! Really cool to have a sweet looking Jaguar transform into....well, a gigantic robotic Jaguar.

Jag Ravage is one of the few Alts I kept out of my Alt collection (that was over 100 including customs) when I got rid of them.

He's a very cool Alternator.

 

i would say the jaguar ravage (not battle ravage) is one of my personal favorites, followed by the subaru mold

 

Yes. He's INSANELY good.

 

Alternators are hands down my favorite TF toys in all of TF toy history. Hasbro combined my favorite two things: sports/muscle cars and TFs. I can't help but love them.

Smokescreen and Rodimus are the only two US release Alts I'm missing. I held off buying Smokescreen at first because I wasn't sure I wanted to get back into collecting and completely missed my chance to buy that one at retail.

My favorite Alts:

5. the Mustangs Grimlock and Wheeljack
nitpicking and complex transformations aside, they're MUSTANGS, for crying out!

4. all the 'Vettes and the Vipers
...although I don't care for Ravage's bot mode. And I did get sick of the constant repaints, but I love the vehicle designs so much it's hard to complain.

3. Shockblast/Shockwave, due to him being a favorite character and all.

2. Tie: Ravage as a Jag and Mirage as a GT is are the most unique designs in the entire line (IMO)

1. 20th Anniv Prime (the first Alt released) is a must for every TF collector.

Frankly, the only one I didn't like in the entire line was Decepticharge because I never could find one that didn't have sloppy paint aps. Also wasn't fond of Corvette Ravage's bot mode, but I really liked the black alt mode look.

And as for the G1 reissues:

- The Seekers
- Soundwave
- Prime
- Ultra Magnus (yeah, it's a brick, but it's a nice-looking one)

 

Mirage/Rodimus is my favorite of all the Alternator molds. It escapes a few of the typical Alt pitfalls...the car kibble looks cool, the torso is more vertical than horizontal, and - this is the biggest one - the altmode pieces align perfectly with no damn panel-massaging.

 

alt divebomb.... (for those who know what it is)

 

Yep, us ye oldie fogies had to apply a lot of our own stickers to our Transformers. We got over it. It's part of the charm of G1.

I wouldn't get either Alternators or Commem. Series - because Takara did both better (BinalTech and TFC) - but if I had to recommend some one, go with the Silverstreak/Bluestreak or Prowl reissues. Tracks has always been a fave too.
