Transformation: Take the tape with the all brown side facing you and the Autobot rubsign the right way up. Fold the head out from the top to the left and the tail from the top to the right. Fold the legs down from the bottom. Peg the moulded missile launchers into the holes on what is now the rear of the beast.
Ramhorn's beast mode is a rhino, with very short legs which helps to make the body look a lot bigger. He's got the same articulation as Ravage & Steeljaw: Head and tail move up and down, all four hips turn and each leg bends at the ankle & knee. He's equipped with a pair of square missile launchers each containing three non functional missiles with a sight mounted on the top. Like Ravage he suffers from being a bit thin but the large weapons help to build the body up at the rear compensating slightly.
Ramhorn's never thrilled me for some reason, no idea why. He's better than Eject & Rewind for sure, and you could argue for him being a better toy than Steeljaw.
Ramhorn was sold in 1986 & 1987 in the USA where he was packed with Eject. The Eject & Ramhorn 2-pack has a major variation where it's available with either silver or gold chromed weapons. The card art depicts gold weapons so I'd say that this is the definitive version. Neither version of this 2-pack was sold in the UK at the time but it was later available in the UK in the early 1990s as a grey import of the Chinese version.
Ramhorn was first reissued as part of Takara's Transformers Encore #15 Cassette Big Mission 2 with Ratbat, Slugfest & Steeljaw. He then reappears as part of the 2010 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Blaster package, where he once again has silver weapons. This pack also contains his original partner Eject, who also has silver weapons, & Steeljaw who has gold weapons.
Ramhorn has never had a repaint - how about doing him in beige with green chromed weapons as Rhinox?
