Do you suppose MMC will ever make a BW Ravage that changes into a cassette?

    They've done an amazing job making the G1 cassettes transform into awesome looking, cartoon accurate robot modes. Would it be possible for them to work that same magic with Ravage's robot mode from Beast Wars? Even if it's not 100% show accurate, it would be awesome to finally have a Beast Wars Ravage with the correct alt mode.

    It doesn't. They've made a G1 Ravage that turns into a cassette, and a BW Ravage that turns into a panther, but not a BW Ravage that turns into a cassette.

    Eh not without severe compromise to either mode I don't think, the whole concept of very smooth/rounded cat man becoming really flat boxy shape is inherently a problematic design to work with.

    I would much rather see a non transforming design treated like how Flames being doing their stuff, include a shrunk down tape with it and he's good to go. Would look amazing and then you could go nuts with articulation too.

    I don't have a problem with compromises. No doubt he would be blockier than the show version, but personally, the idea of non-transforming transformers just has zero appeal to me, no matter how much more accurate it looks.
