- Skipjack is a (thus far) Japanese exclusive yellow redeco of Transformers Legends Class Rampage. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the stock photos), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his instructions depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".
Notes
- "Skipjack" was the preliminary name for Rampage during production of Revenge of the Fallen, and this name (along with Demolishor's "Wheelbot") was used in the credits for the voice actors. In Rampage's case, this can be considered definitely inaccurate, as the toys' name "Rampage" is used in a subtitle in the movie, thus making the name in the credits the odd one out.
- The stock photography for both EZ Collection Skipjack and Payload depict them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain. Additionally, TakaraTomy's website calls the toy Rampage rather than Skipjack.
