[[File:Legendscardgame-Ramhorn2.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Slaggit, Blaster, lemme out or I'll SMASH my way out!"]]
'''Ramhorn''' is one bad-tempered tape. In [[beast mode]], he's very aggressive and easily provoked. If somebody messes with his stuff, he'll most likely smash the offender, then smash the tampered-with belongings, then smash everything nearby for good measure. He's very strong, too, able to derail a train with a single blow if he wants to. Even in cassette mode, he can give off damaging vibrations; this ''probably'' wouldn't derail a train, but don't test him.

[[File:TFTM-Ramhorn.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Y'know, maybe if ''real'' rhinos had those hip-mounted weapons, they wouldn't be going extinct.]]
During the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Ramhorn and his fellow cassettes [[Eject (G1)|Eject]], [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] and [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]] fought their Decepticon counterparts, saving [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]]. Ramhorn tackled Ratbat right out of the air in the battle. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Ramhorn’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]''.}}

[[File:ForeverLongTime Ramhorn guardian.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ramhorn fights the [[scale|tiiiiniest]] Dark Guardian!]]
Ramhorn was one of the Autobots who were accidentally sent 11 million years back in time via the [[Quintesson]] time window, along with [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]], [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], and the other Autobot cassettes. Ramhorn demonstrated his ability to speak, something which most Decepticon cassette beasts did not seem to possess (although he did have a weird stutter). He and the other temporally displaced Autobots agreed to help [[Beta (G1)|Beta]] and her ancient Autobot rebels launch an attack on the Quintesson capital of [[Hive City]], in a last-ditch effort to drive the five-faced oppressors from their planet. As the other future Autobots debated the best way to draw off the [[Dark Guardian]]s, Ramhorn did what he does best: violently charge the enemy head first. Unfortunately, the attack was nearly thwarted when the Autobots were overwhelmed by a reserve force of Dark Guardians. Luckily, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]], who had been stranded in the future via the time window, returned to the past at the last minute, disabling the Dark Guardians with his [[Coder Remote]] device, allowing Ramhorn and the others to return to the year 2006. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:MadmansParadise-Ramhorn.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Wild bean vines. Hard to digest.]]

Later, after [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] were accidentally sent to [[Menonia]], Ramhorn helped track them down. After briefly destroying a battering ram, Steeljaw sniffed out Daniel, who was trying to free the [[Golden One]] from his prison in a cave and stop [[Mara-Al-Utha]]. Steeljaw must be a pretty darn good friend of Ramhorn's, because the robo-rhino actually turned and left a battle in progress to join him in locating Daniel. None of the humans had the strength to move the rock entombing the Golden One. As he and Steeljaw didn't have opposable thumbs, Ramhorn did the next best thing: charge the rock blocking the cave at full speed. It shattered, with debris nearly hitting the fleshies. He still needs to work on that whole "protecting people" thing. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}

[[File:Quintesson Journal Autobots journal.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Or maybe he's just a ''big frickin' rhino.'']]
Out in space once with Blaster and [[Outback (G1)|Outback]], Ramhorn was riding inside [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in cassette mode when Perceptor sent them on a mission to identify a Quintesson locator beacon. Sky Lynx had trouble landing on the planet in question, so Ramhorn, Steeljaw and Blaster waddled out the airlock while still in their massively oversized cassette and player modes. It was hilarious. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}

Ramhorn was briefly seen fighting the Decepticons in [[Europe]], alongside [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]]. He and Steeljaw tackled [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] in his cannon mode. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Ramhorn was among the so-called "primitives" summoned by a mysterious entity known only as [[Oracle (G1)|"The Primacron's Assistant"]] to combat [[Primacron]] and his latest creation, [[Tornedron]]. When the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] brawled inside [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], Ramhorn strangely did not participate in the battle, but tried to avoid it. Ramhorn didn't fare any better than the other primitives in battle with Tornedron and had his energy drained by the bizarre creature, only to be restored to life when Grimlock activated the reverse switch, dissipating the energy monster. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Scramble City''=====
[[File:ScrambleCity ramhorn missiles.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
In the late 1980s, when the Autobots were in the process of creating a [[Metroplex (G1)|mobile battle fortress]], [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]], and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] attempted to infiltrate their subterranean facility and gain information on the construction project. Blaster deployed Ramhorn and Steeljaw to occupy Ravage and Laserbeak while he himself tried to fend off Ratbat; unfortunately, Ravage was able to dodge Ramhorn's missile attacks, and his feline agility allowed him to quickly get the better of the irascible rhino and take him down, while Blaster failed to prevent Ratbat from penetrating the facility and making off with data on the new "Scramble City". {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
{{voiceactor|[[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:HMep4 ramhorn eject.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|I bet ''Ravage'' never has to put up with this kind of indignity.]]
In the year 2011, Ramhorn and the Mini-Cassettes journeyed to the Arctic with Blaster to help [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] in the search for the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]. There, they confronted the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s and Ramhorn got into a head-butting contest with [[Headstrong (G1)|Headstrong]], emerging on top and hurling him into the sky before following up with a missile barrage. The Decepticon cheated by switching to [[robot mode]] and shooting the rockets down. The battle ended in tragedy when Blaster was killed in battle with his arch-foe, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Ramhorn and the Cassettes mourned the loss of their friend so greatly that they couldn't even go on missions. Eventually, Rodimus Prime had Blaster rebuilt using [[Master (planet)|Master]] technology as Twincast. Reunited, Ramhorn and Twincast infiltrated [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and the planet [[Chaar]] to stop Galvatron's [[Madmachine]] from being used against the Autobots. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

[[File:HMep35 cassettes deploy.jpg|thumb|235px|Do not disturb a Darwin's frog during labor.]]
After this Ramhorn and the other cassettes spied on Galvatron while he plotted to attack Cybertron. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Later, in a form of stealth mission usually reserved for ''Decepticon'' Cassettes, Ramhorn and Steeljaw somehow managed to reach Chaar on their own and spy on [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], learning all about his plans for [[plasma energy]] and the impending creation of his giant [[Transtector]]. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} Later Twincast snuck into the Decepticon's base on Charr; and witnessed Scorponok unveiling his complected transtector. When Twincast was discovered, he ejected Ramhorn and the others to defend him. Ramhorn tussled with a Decepticon cassette before retreating. Twincast then relayed his findings to  Fortress. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}    Using Scorponok's new Transtector, the Decepticons departed Earth to search for energy on other planets, and Twincast, Ramhorn and the Mini-Cassettes joined Fortress' crew in hunting them down. On [[Paradise]], Ramhorn was dispatched on a scouting mission with the other Mini-Cassettes. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

Back on Earth, Ramhorn and the Mini-Cassettes ejected to help Twincast gather information on the recent upsurge of Decepticon activity. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} When the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, Ramhorn and his fellow Mini-Cassettes did some investigating to make sure they were gone. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}} The villains eventually returned, however, and in the final battle at the North Pole, Ramhorn and the Mini-Cassettes were unleashed on [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] to save the Headmasters from his hypnotic powers. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

=====''Legends'' comic=====
When Twincast was infected with [[black ball]]s, shrinking his body, Ramhorn and the other cassettes turned out to be unaffected thanks to having been hidden away inside him at the time. They evacuated Twincast's body before it shrunk into nothingness, then helped with converting him and other blackball victims into Headmasters. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} After Twincast returned to being Blaster, he looked back at his past, remembering his spy missions with Ramhorn and the others. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 27|Bonus Edition Vol. 27}}

Ramhorn was injured in battle and repaired by [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]], who replaced his cassette mode with a new tank mode and gave him a third handheld weapon mode in the process. He initially disliked the changes, but grew to like being a tank after its firepower came in handy when saving Perceptor from [[Katsu Don]]. After being freed, Perceptor sent Katsu Don fleeing by aiming Ramhorn's weapon mode at him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 56|Bonus Edition Vol. 56}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
Ramhorn was one of the many cassettes deployed by Blaster against [[Re-Volt]], [[Chaos (GoBots)|Chaos]], and [[Traitor (GoBots)|Traitor]] when the [[Renegade]]s tried to breach Autobot City. Ramhorn charged and trampled Traitor in the ensuing fight. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

When the [[Quintesson]]s invaded [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in [[2008]], Blaster was deactivated and strung up on the outer wall and Ramhorn was trapped inside with his fellow cassettes. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] managed to get to Blaster and free the cassettes later on, increasing their ranks in order to fight back against the Quintesson occupied city. Ramhorn was seen impaling a Quintesson in the guts with his horn. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}
Ramhorn accompanied Blaster as he used an ancient map of Cybertron's depths to infiltrate Megatron's slave camp, only for them to be discovered by Megatron himself. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}}

In the modern era, Ramhorn was once again part of a resistance cell, this time being directed by Hot Rod and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]].

===''Transformers Roleplaying Game''===
Ramhorn was a hard-headed member of Blaster's [[Recordabots]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Directive}}

While guarding a shipment of [[energon cube]]s in an abandoned [[Colorado]] railyard, Blaster posted Ramhorn to keep watch on the outer perimeter. However, a group of Decepticons breached the yard; after a brief struggle, the villains defeated the Autobots and stole the energon for themselves. {{storylink|The Great Energon Robbery}}

: Ramhorn transforms from robotic rhinoceros to microcassette and back. In tape mode, he fits inside the chest compartment of the [[Blaster (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Blaster]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Soundwave]] molds (and their many many variants, as well as the much later [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|''Masterpiece'' Soundwave]]). For the [[Hasbro]] line, he was only available in a two-pack with [[Eject (G1)|Eject]].

: Two commonplace versions of Ramhorn exist: one with silver [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] add-on weapons, and one with gold. A very rare variant had painted cassette details instead of stickers; it's uncertain what relation this variant has to the silver/gold weapons, if any.  

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Ramhorn (SG)#Toys|Ramhorn]].

There do not appear to be any notable differences between this release and the prior ''Universe'' release.

: In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

: In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to German online retailer Actionfiguren24.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the fifth and final wave of [[Titans Return (toyline)|''Titans Return'']] [[Titan Master]] class toys (and the ''only'' new guy in the wave), Ramhorn is a [[retool]] of [[Shuffler#Generations|Shuffler]], transforming from a rhino-faced robot to a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return'' figure. He comes with a vehicle accessory, also retooled from Shuffler's, which can transform from a rhino into a tank that the head robot can pilot from the back, or a (non-firing) multi-rocket launcher that can be held by larger figures.

: Appropriately (and awesomely), the Titan Master's head mode is based on the never-got-past-concept art [[Autobot Master Warrior|Headmaster Warrior]] rhinoceros.<ref>https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/titans-return-ramhorn-design-explained/37415/</ref>

: Due to how the smaller head is designed, Ramhorn's head mode may likely wobble on the larger figure's Titan Master sockets.

: Two variants of Ramhorn are known to exist, differing in their base plastic color. The seemingly more common version has a desaturated, medium-brown plastic, while the rarer version is a brighter orange-brown closer to traditional depictions of Ramhorn (and pictured in the stock CG render on the packaging).

: Ramhorn initially saw a very limited release in the United States, with sporadic sightings at Meijer stores. For the Christmas 2017 season, however, he suddenly appeared at numerous Aldi grocery stores, of all places. He would see another round of release in late 2018 through Five Below. Like the previous wave, Ramhorn never saw wide release in Malaysian stores, due to shelfwarming in the first and second waves.

:Ramhorn's main body was later redecoed as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Clouder#Legends|Clouder]] while his accessory was redecoed as ''Legends'' Amhorn (see next section).

The closest another came was [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]], whose voice was [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3|once heard]] giving a playback of information in tape mode.
