Ramhorn is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.

"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 upend Barry Manilow's tour bus with a single blow if he wants to. Even in cassette mode, he can give off damaging vibrations. While these aren't going to derail any trains anytime soon, they're absolutely murderous to portable stereos.

Japanese name: Amhorn

French-Canadian name: Rhinoféroce

Fiction

Animated continuity

During the Battle of Autobot City, Ramhorn and his fellow cassettes Eject, Rewind and Steeljaw fought their Decepticon counterparts, saving Perceptor. The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

Ramhorn was one of the Autobots that were accidentally sent 11 million years back in time via the Quintesson time window, along with Blaster, Blurr and the other Autobot cassettes. Ramhorn demonstrated his ability to speak, an ability which most Decepticon cassette beasts did not seem to possess. He and the other temporally-displaced Autobots agreed to help 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. Unfortunately, the attack was nearly thwarted when the Autobots were overwhelmed by the Quintessons' Dark Guardians. Luckily, 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 Coda Remote device, allowing Ramhorn and the others to return to the year 2006. Forever is a Long Time Coming

Later, Ramhorn was among the so-called "primitives" summoned by a mysterious entity known only as "The Primacron's Assistant" to combat Primacron and his latest creation, Tornadron. Ramhorn didn't fare any better than the other primitives in battle, 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.
