The name or term "Ramjet" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ramjet (disambiguation).
Ramjet is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
If Transformers were to scale with the toys, Ramjet would be larger than Starscream...

Ramjet is a coward, pure and simple. He hides behind the bulk of his colossal partner Tidal Wave, who for some reason remains protective of the little guy. He's an opportunistic weasel who likes to push others into battles he's too chicken to enter himself. He's speedy in the air and pretty persuasive in speech, but those are about his only strengths.[1]
