Nightwind's Words of Wisdom:
It must suck to be a "conehead." Really! They're like the middle children of the Decepticon "family," with the original three jets as their older brothers and the Unicronians as the babies of the family. The coneheads are in the middle and, thus, they never get any attention. Thus, being a middle child myself, I feel for them. I don't pay much more attention to them, no, but I do feel for them. And of the three...well, Ramjet is not my favorite, actually. That would be Dirge, followed by Thrust. But still, I like Ramjet. Which isn't saying much since, other than Megatron and Galvatron, there isn't really a Decepticon I dislike, but...
I do often wonder if Ramjet owns stock in whatever company makes Excedrin, though. One would think the poor lad would get more than his fair share of headaches, after all... ;)
The Official Word:
Profile: Mid-air collisions are Ramjet's specialty. Whether the target is an opponent or not makes little difference- Ramjet will crash him or it just for the pure fun of it. He's built to survive such crashes, which is probably his greatest asset, since hardly anyone in flight would expect a jet fighter to purposely try to collide with him. These one-sided jousts make him a terror without equal in the skies. As he often boasts, "The skies are my castle, and I like to live alone."
Abilities: In jet form, Ramjet has a nose module that can absorb and withstand an impact with a 3 foot-thick concrete wall at a speed of 1500 mph. The rest of his form is not quite as durable, but is still very resistant to impact. He can go as fast as Mach 2.8. He carries two cluster bomb missile launchers and two laser beam rifles. He's also very durable in robot mode.
Weaknesses: Ramjet's tendency to aim at neutral targets often results in his creating new enemies, a consequence about which he rarely shows concern. Although very resistant to impact, too many crashes can take their toll on Ramjet's body, particularly his internal mechanical workings.
Miscellaneous:
Best Place to Ramjet-Watch:
By far, "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court." But he gets a bit of airtime in "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide," too, in conjunction with Thrust and Dirge.
Nightwind's Favorite Ramjet Quotes:
"I just changed heads last week!"
~After a rather unfortunate game of chicken with Warpath in "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court"
"One good whack, it breaks right in two!"
~Indignantly commenting on the shoddy construction of a mounted knight after unhorsing said knight with a judicious head-butt,
like so, in "A Decepticon Raider..." |
