Ram Horn
| The name or term "Ramhorn" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ramhorn (disambiguation). |
- Ram Horn is a Predacon from the Beast Era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
General Ram Horn is a member of the Tripredacus Council. Of all the adjectives that could describe him, subtle is not one of them. He has a direct approach to attain power, often through the use of brute force and coercion. Though by no means stupid, his tenacity and stubbornness sometimes makes him ignore common sense, a characteristic that is only slightly diluted by his fusion to Cicadacon and Sea Clamp.
He combines with his fellow council members to form Tripredacus, or with them plus Ravage and Tarantulas to form Predacus.
Fiction
Beast Wars cartoon continuity
Wings Universe
Ram Horn was one of four mysterious protoforms found by Sky-Byte in the laboratory of Jhiaxus while trying to save his associate's clones from the Autobots. A Common Foe Ram Horn and his comrades pledged allegiance to the Predacons in suspiciously quick time.[1]
Timelines
Ram Horn, alongside Cicadacon and Sea Clamp, was involved in an assassination plot, part of a ploy to take control of the Predacon army, and dispose of its then-current leader, Razorclaw. The plot was thought to have succeeded, but in truth they did not manage to extinguish Razorclaw's spark. Nonetheless, the Predacons' previous leader was forced into hiding, and while the world believed him dead, the Tripredacus Council took control of the Predacons. BotCon 2009 Razorclaw profile card
After a Predacon insurrection led by Flamewar in the guise of Megatron arose in the J'kozian sector, the Tripredacus Council discussed it and decided to leak the insurrection's presence on Nibari to the Maximals so they would take care of the Council's renegade problem. The Razor's Edge

After the transwarp wavefront hit Predacon Command Outpost One, Ram Horn met with the other members of the Tripredacus Council, and appeared to chair the meeting. He recognized that Megatron's efforts would ruin their plans against the Maximal Imperium, and told the others that they had to deal with Megatron quickly and quietly, before the Maximal Elders discovered what had happened.

Descent into Evil
The Tripredacus Council employed Flamewar to check on Deathsaurus's operation on Ceti Alpha Seven. As Flamewar reported on the apparent success of Deathsaurus's Virulent Clones, Bumblebee hacked in the feed and informed everyone of the impeding failure built into the Clones. To rid themselves of an exposed agent, the Tripredacus Council remotely exploded Flamewar's ship with her in it. Descent into Evil
