FWIW the Raptor 3 here does not include the turbopump mechanism. It would look pretty much the same as the raptor 2 (which does have the pump attached).

No, that's wrong. This is, in fact, the entire engine. It's not missing anything. It was test fired in this configuration. It honestly looks surreal.
