Alignment

I was under the impression that Alignment being reffed by name in E-hobby Galvatrons' backstory made it fair game. -Derik 21:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

It was referenced, but that doesn't make it entirely canonical, nor have we decided such. I certainly don't think it should be integrated into everybody's pages without a decision one way or the other. --ItsWalky 21:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

If I was integrating it into his page I'd stick in a sentence how he was one of the four who donated his lifge-energies to resurect Megatron. Instead I gave an italic note about an oddity relating to his apparenty death in G2.

G2 Toys

That thread of Maz's over on the 'spark got me thinking, shouldn't we be adding information like those G2 Seeker mock-ups to the wiki? And to this page or another one? Personally I'da thought each toy warrants having its own page, detailing stuff like this, accessories/inserts, variations, release dates, re-paints/tools/issues, assortment codes, RRPs and all that sort of thing. --Specimen-17 17:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Ramjet love?

Just an idle musing, but I was wondering why Ramjet is the most heavily preferred of all the Coneheads. In IDW comics, he got his own Spotlight while Dirge and Thrust were relegated to cameo roles. In Reign of Starscream, he was the Conehead interpreted for the Movie universe. In Animated, his color scheme was the only one clearly homaged by a Clone. For awhile, he was the only mass-released Conehead for Classics. Going back further, he was the only Seeker besides Starscream re-released for Generation 2. Yeah, his super-power is headbutting, but really...

...why so much love? --Xaaron 10:58, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

How do you figure he was the only Starscream clone homage? We got Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Sunstorm! And they all very closely resembled their G1 selves. --ItsWalky 11:04, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

He means of the Coneheads. No clue why Ramjet seems favoured. Geewunling 11:11, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

I know I'm a little late joining in on this, but as the article states "Curiously enough, Ramjet often seemed to act as de facto leader of the Conehead Seekers. Though only borderline competent, he was a serious enough warrior that it often fell on him to keep the two whiners Thrust and Dirge in line." He is given more attention now because he got more then. Ramjet was a more fully developed character, just as Starscream was more developed than Skywarp or Thundercracker. When people think back to the coneheads as characters, Ramjet is the one that most comes to mind. Khajidha 14:53, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

Lol. I was actually the one who added that line to the article. --Xaaron 15:12, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

Ramjet Likes Toast

What does that line mean? Is it a Roger Ramjet quote or something?

Its an old meme. I can't find it now, don't even know if it still exists, but there was this guy dressed up as Ramjet and photographed doing various things, including eating toast. 95.148.10.239 06:13, 20 February 2011 (EST)

Ramjet Likes toast is an old joke from the ATT newsgroup days back in the 90s. Do a google search for it, there will be threads on Transformers forums that will explain. --FFN 10:19, 20 February 2011 (EST)

Name Origin

Is it possible he was named after the sixties cartoon hero Roger Ramjet? 95.148.10.239 06:10, 20 February 2011 (EST)

No. A ramjet is a thing that exists. Ramjet@Wikipedia --ItsWalky 09:41, 20 February 2011 (EST)

MP Ramjet recalled due to shoulder joint issues?

I heard that MP Ramjet is recalled due to QC issues on his shoulder joints. Should we mention this in the Masterpiece section? FigureGunplaFan (talk) 02:52, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Yes. --Riptide (talk) 06:31, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

I thought there wasn't an actual manufacturer recall, just another case of TFSource being shady. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 08:32, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Has anyone been able to verify an actual proper recall-and-repair? All I've ever seen was that TFSource would take exchanges. This section looks misleading to me. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 18:54, 25 May 2016 (EDT)
