- Part of the second wave of Generations Legends Class toys, Fall of Cybertron Ramhorn is the only original mold deployer, and transforms from a "data disc" into a robotic rhinoceros via a spring-loaded process that is triggered when a button on his underside is pressed. He is designed to interact with the Voyager Class Blaster mold, able to store within the larger figure's chest compartment and to be launched out of it, automatically transforming as he does so. He comes with a translucent plastic case with silver Autobot insignia which can be used to store him in disc mode.
- Ramhorn has a unique "circuit board" pattern. So far, he's the only data disc character to not share a circuit pattern with another character in any way, and the only data-disc Autobot mold without a Decepticon counterpart. Furthermore, some quantities came with an incorrect tampographed Decepticon insignia instead of an Autobot insignia.
- He is available in a two-pack with Eject.
- This version of Ramhorn has a several paint operation differences from the Hasbro version. "Gunmetal" paint has been added to his lower legs to make them more like his Generation 1 namesake. Where the Hasbro version has an Autobot symbol only on Ramhorn's left side, the TakaraTomy version has one on each side. Most striking is the circuit board pattern, as rather than the Hasbro version's unique pattern, TakaraTomy Ramhorn instead uses exactly the same one as Ratbat... complete with Decepticon symbol! Wha happa?[1] The base-layer has also been changed from darker-metal to a brighter silver, and lacks the circular gap between the circuit portion and the center raised part with the symbol. Finally, his disc case also has a red Autobot symbol rather than the Hasbro version's silver.
Notes
[edit]- The gold/silver symbols on the Hasbro-release Autobot data discs' cases are a callback to how their Generation 1 incarnations could come with either silver or gold chromed weapons.
- Curiously, his package artwork more closely resembles his Generation 1 counterpart rather than the toy in the package. The body even appears to have cassette tape detailing on the sides!
Foreign names
[edit]- Japanese: Ramhorn (ラムホーン Ramuhōn)
