You gotta agree Battle Ravage is the best of those three.

Battle Ravage is the only Transformers striker who's even remotely worthwhile.

Battle Ravage, no contest. Crumplezone's striking arm and Scourge's axe are too small to make them effective strikers. Battle Ravage's longer mace makes all the difference. It also hurts Scourge that his base is the smallest type in Attacktix, and his point of contact for his axe is so small - just the axe head (unlike Star Wars strikers where you have the whole blade's surface). To respond to profanicon, it seems the general consensus is that Scorponok isn't a "striker", as he doesn't have a spring loaded waist for the striking weapon. I think he's being reffered to as a "tosser", like Omega Supreme. Of course I could be wrong, as I just got into Attactix a few weeks ago, and am just starting to get the hang of the lingo. (On an unrelated note, also like the Decepticon tatoo  |

I LOVE Battle Ravage!
One of the last boosters I got, I picked up an error BR. His string for his mace is about twice as long! Only problem I've seen with this, is that every once in a while it tends to get wrapped around it's victim's limbs.
Scourge is such a cool character and his figure looks sooo good, but that base is definitely a big draw-back. Though, any time he has survived long enough for me to make an attack, it has been a successful one!
Crumplezone's arm is so short, but I've been practicing with him (and Ransack as part of a team) and I've actually learned to adapt to it. And for me, he never really falls over too easily.

It might gust be my luck, but every battle involving Battle Ravage and one dies it always brings back another Battle Ravage.  |

Most of the time, the first BR to die comes up with a white window, but all the ones after have a black window..... That doesn't help me! |

I've had it both ways. I've played games where they all just died, and I've also played games where they all kept respawning over and over again.
Personally, to really get the most out of Battle Ravage, you need piles of them. I couldn't see ever playing with less than three of them. I'm glad I have five.

I have 9 of them, and I never play with any less than 3. I've been meaning to play a 100pt game with only 5 Battle Ravages. If they all were able to get into range without getting knocked over first, that could probably be a decent team (and if luck's on your side when it comes to using his power) . |

Against a striker team, Battle Ravages could work well. You go with a team of four Battle Ravages and two series IV Greedos. You just sit there in formation and never move anyone, and take your shots against the advancing strikers. When in range, you engage their strikers with your Ravages on your side of the table, at a range where your Rallied Battle Ravages can get to the action fast.
