Eject (G1)
Eject is an Autobot fro mthe Generation 1 continuity.
The best way to describe Eject is that he is always ready for some football! A confirmed Earth-sports junkie, Eject constantly scans the airwaves for everything from basketball, football, soccer, hockey, anything, from professional to academic-level competition. This occasionally interferes with his job as a surveillance agent, should a game go into overtime when he should be monitoring Decepticon activity. Sports cliches and terms litter his speech; "homeruns", "touchdowns", "goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!", and, of course, "are you ready for some football?!".
For Eject, sports are more than a form of entertainment. To his mind, they are also the answer to the war. He feels that sports could replace the way Cybertrons traditionally settle disputes... with bloody arena combat or a millenia or two of killing each other in mass numbers. He tries to get the other Autobots in on the idea, and envisions one day a Cyebrtron free of the horrors of war, where arenas are filled with fans cheering a three-point shot rather than a decapitation, where all Transformers are united in being, truly, READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

Eject is shown among the many Autobots in a secret base during the "Age of Wrath", when Megatron's Aerospace Extermination Squadron covers the planet Cybertron. It is unknown if his alternate mode at the time was still some form of data-storage device, or if he had a vehicular mode.
Toys
Among the first new-mold cassettes in the line (rather than being pre-Transformers Microman toys), Eject shares the same mold as Rewind, transforming into a blue microcassette. In this mode, he can fit in the chest compartment of the Blaster or Soundwave toys. He was available only in a two-pack with Ramhorn in the Hasbro line, but was available as an individual for Takara's line as C-68, and was rereleased the next year in Headmasters as C-117.
The initial releases of Eject/Ramhorn had chromed-gold weapons, with Eject having sticker details for cassette mode, subsequent releases used chromed-silver, with Eject having painted casette details with the spool sticker found on the Microman-based cassettes.
