Here is the hard headed one in all his G2 glory! Just don't touch his toast!

Name: Ramjet
Faction: Decepticons
Function: Warrior
Motto: If it flies, crash it!
Bio: Mid-air collisions are his specialty. An opponent or not, he'll crash into it just for the fun of bringing terror to the skies. Particularly doing damage to his internal mechanisms. " The skies are my castle and I like to live alone, " he says. His nose module can withstand the impact of three-foot thick concrete at 1500 mph and he flies as fast as Mach 2.8 while carrying cluster bombs.
Strength: 8 Intelligence: 5
Speed: 9 Endurance: 9
Rank: 5 Courage: 8
Firepower: 7 Skill: 6
Voice actor: Jack Angel
First seeninthe episode Dinobot Island Part 1

Curiously enough, Ramjet often seemed to act as de facto leader of the Conehead Seekers. Though only borderline competent, he was a serious enough warrior that it often fell on him to keep the two whiners Thrust and Dirge in line.

He loves Toast.

His only idea of strategy is to smash into things with his head? In Ramjet's defense he's specifically built to survive such midair collisions and his prey most definitely is not.

as evidenced by Ramjet some G2 figures were repainted and retooled G1 figures. and often given really garish paint jobs!

Bonus a Gif of Ramjet doing what he does best!:

[WriterApprentice]

I can see why he has a cone for a head, _{other than for sexual innuendos.} XD

Toast? What kind of toast? :3

And awesome GIF! Would make an awesome avie or something! XD
I hope the horse is alright. *totally ignoring the fuggly human that was riding it*
What?! He's nothing but a technicolor blob!

[raven1972]

LOL no idea what kind of toast he like , its the running gag for Ramjet! and both were okay they both tan off a few frames later lol.


next showcase will be the one who lit there darkest hour , the chosen one, the one who hurled Galvatron out of Unicron and through space into a pool of lava on the Planet Thrull!

[WriterApprentice]

Oh boy, I bet I know who it is. XD

[raven1972]

Here he is the emo boy who dazzled us in season 3 of G1:

Name: Rodimus Prime
Faction: Autobots
Function: Protector
Motto: "Experience is the benchmark of maturity."
Profile: Rodimus Prime is the mature, transformed persona of Hot Rod. This transformation and simultaneous assumption of the Autobot leadership occurred in a major battle between the Autobots and Decepticons. It is as Rodimus Prime that Hot Rod defeated Unicron and restored order to the galaxy. Rodimus Prime speaks with the savvy of a seasoned veteran. He can be hot-heated at times - he has a tendency to act first and ask questions later. Rodimus Prime's sole purpose is to protect all life.

Abilities: He possesses acute military prowess. Rodimus Prime is an expert tactician with exceptional maneuverability in battle. In robot mode, he carries a photon eliminator that shoots high voltage electricity. Range: 500 miles. Speed: 200 mph.

Weaknesses: His only weakness is his compassion for other living creatures.
Speed: 9 Endurance: 10
Rank: 10 Courage: 10
Firepower: 9 Skill: 10

In The G1 cartoon he was often Emo and did not feel up to the job that had been thrust upon him. He did his best though. he somewhat unfairly gets criticized by many fans due to his not doing a good job of following in Optimus prime's peds, but lets face those are some mighty big peds to fill.

Voice actors:
Judd Nelson ( 1986 Movie Hot Rod and Rodimus ) He is best known for being a member of the "Brat Pack" in the mid-1980s; and for his roles as John Bender in The Breakfast Club, Alec Newbary in St. Elmo's Fire, and Jack Richmond in Suddenly Susan.


Ted Schwartz season 3 only a few of his lines were used before he was replaced. also provided the voice of Tailgate. He also voiced Spider-Man on the early '80s Spider-Man cartoon and Thrasher on G.I. Joe.



Dick Gautier season 3 best known as Hymie the Robot in the television series Get Smart and Serpentor the Cobra Emperor in the G.I. Joe series, also as a panelist on many 1970s and 80s game shows.

also voiced
Apeface
Firebolt
Hot Rod
Rodimus Prime
Sweep

Note: my Rodimus is incomplete as he is missing his blast shields for his gun turret in his trailer/base

Next showcase is getting very dark and Japanese. not giving many clues on purpose so just wait and see

[WriterApprentice]

I wonder how he would be with Skip and Delta. :3

Does that love also include Decepticons? Cause they're living beings as well!

[raven1972]

If the Decepticons showed a willingness to accept peace and live in harmony with the Autobots yes, if they wanted to continue the war then no.

could be interesting, nopt sure though need to think it over.

[WriterApprentice]

*sigh*
Life is cruel, but that's what makes us appreciate the good things.

Alright, take your time. ^_^

[raven1972]

okay time for a prime darkly!

Name: Scourge
Japanese Name: Black Convoy
Japanese Number: D-012
Faction: Decepticons
Motto: Vengeance is an excuse for failure. I do not seek vengeance.

Bio: Scourge is a no-nonsense field commander. Formed during the creation of the Decepticons when Megatron scanned both a tanker truck and Optimus Prime. Because of this mix-up, Scourge resents the Autobots and especially their leader. He's cunning, dangerous and cruel - if there is any Autobot goodness within his circuits, he covers it up as acts of destruction. His battle station is a fully loaded weapon and high-tech equipment arsenal. Furiously wields his signature sword in battle.
Strength: 10 Intelligence: 9
Speed: 9 Endurance: 10
Rank: 9 Courage: 10
Firepower: 10 Skill: 10


The robot who came to be named Scourge was originally one of a crew of six Autobots sent to Earth to reactivate the legendary Autobot battle station, Fortress Maximus. As leader of the expedition, Scourge was equipped with the ability to detect the unique energy signatures of the O-Parts, the Cybertronian components that held the key to reawakening Maximus. However, Scourge never had the opportunity to use that ability in the service of the Autobots, when the team's craft malfunctioned and crashed on Earth in the mid-20th century. Having been in protoform-state with stasis pods for the duration of their voyage, the six Autobots were entombed in their crashed ship.

In the early days of the 21st century, archaeologist and energy expert Doctor Kenneth Onishi's work eventually led him to find the various links in the chain of Fortress Maximus, he located the fortress itself beneath Metro City, mapped the location of the O-Parts, and discovered the location of the crashed Autobot spaceship. However, when the evil Megatron came to Earth with the intent of harnessing Maximus's power, he captured Onishi, and through mental scans, discerned the location of the Autobots' ship. Stealing the six protoforms, Megatron took them to a nearby military base to scan vehicle modes for them, infusing them with a part of his own spark energy to turn them to the side of evil. The first five became the Commandos, but when Megatron targeted a tanker truck to scan as the alternate mode of the final protoform, Optimus Prime leapt into action in order to save the truck's human driver, and as a result, the tanker, Prime and the human were all scanned. With an infusion of Megatron's spark energy to complete the concoction, Scourge was born, emerging from his pod as a dark twin of Optimus Prime, who proved that Megatron's programming had over-ridden any Autobot goodness within him. Appointing himself leader of the new "Decepticons", he quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with.


Black Convoy/Scourge's sword is called the Sword of Fury!

At the end of the Car robots/Robots and disguise Series Scourge/Black Convoy is taken back to Cybertron and sent to an asteroid prison.

This figure was one of the first evil Optimus Prime clones that have since become known as Nemesis Primes

This figure is a re-deco of Transformers G2 Laser Optimus prime, and at that time it had electronics that made his sword light up, Scourge/Black Convoy lack the electronics.

Black Convoy has a unique symbol an upside down black G2 Autobot emblems they can be seen on his shoulders and on his discs for his disc launchers. The symbols on his Discs are a hold over from the original use of this mold. The US Scourge version of this figure was remolded to have blank discs and uses Decepticon emblems.

This is the Japanese version made by Takara.

Note: the RID Scourge Character is not the same being as G1 Scourge and they should not be confused.
Note2: Convoy is the Japanese term for Prime

Scourge's Voice was provided by the late Barry Stigler (October 31, 1948 – March 1, 2005)

Next up something ugly and repulsive and yet its an Autobot! and odds are none of you have heard of him!

[WriterApprentice]

Aw... the poor guy. >:
Seriously, I do feel sorry for him and I see justification for his hate. To be born like that, it's a living hell. >_>
In fact... I think all the Decepticons are living in their own personal hells and that's why they vent it via aggression and destruction.

[raven1972]

I totally agree with you. I firmly believe there are deep mental health issues that the Decepticon are hiding that cause them to lash out. except for Swindle he lashes out because Megatron won't let him wheel and deal like he wants to lol ( G1 not Animated)

[WriterApprentice]

True. XD
You know... if you think about it... the entire Decepticon army is like a giant mental issue. >_>
Maybe because they suffered some sort of trauma in their past that had cause them to be the monsters they are now. And of course the norm states that such people are repulsive to said norm as we should eradicate them. *is secretly seething at certain people*

Why do you think people made mental asylums? So society could do away with the mentally insane and not bother with them. They are nothing but prisons, only with a different name.

[raven1972]

indeed indeed and for the Decepticons it gets worse, the individual Stunticons has issues a plenty and they only get magnified when the combine into Menasor!

Indeed they wished to shut them away and pay others to deal with them. Fortunately in most nations the are by in large are a thing of the past save for those who mental state has gone to a point where the committed horrible acts and had to be locked away in a mental hospital for life.

anyway enough about sad , scary stuff ^ ^

[WriterApprentice]

One word; rehabilitation.

Yes! Let's talk about happy stuff. XD
I can't wait for your next showcase! X3

[raven1972]

Its a bird ..no its a plane...its a....you tell me what he is lol


Name: Repugnus
Faction: Autobots
Subgroup: Monsterbot
Function: Counter-Intelligence
Motto: No job is too disgusting to disgust me.
Bio: He has a personality as repellent as his looks -- been kicked out of the Autobots many times for insubordination only to be asked back since he's always willing to undertake missions too low-down and dirty for anyone else to consider. In robot mode, carries venom laser that slows cerebro impulses and paralyzes on impact. In creature mode, has infra-red and X-ray vision; can emit colors and stroboscopic effect with eyes. Claws contain chemical, electromagnetic and audio sensors; can rip through almost any substance.
Strength: 5 Intelligence: 9
Speed: 2 Endurance: 9
Rank: 6 Courage: 10
Firepower: 2 Skill: 10

Never a Decepticon, Repugnus is not always an Autobot. No, sometimes he's a former Autobot who has been discharged for insubordination or just plain nastiness, but he always gets called back to perform some mission too unsavory for anybody else. Though he doesn't give a slag for authority or decency, Repugnus always does his job well.

Man, does he love his job. He'll describe with relish how he clawed an enemy within an inch of his life, then beat the bastard's head into a fuel-soaked wad of scrap metal with his own torn-off leg unit. He'll also add plenty of profanities and colorful idioms to the story. His friends would find this disturbing, if he had any.

Repugnus' name is a play on the word repugnant which fits his character and appearance rather well.

In the Monsterbot toy commercial, Repugnus and the Monsterbots were created accidentally during an attempt to create new Autobots. Kup raced to warn Rodimus Prime and Blurr of the accident as the wild Monsterbots trashed the lab where they were born. Thankfully the Decepticons attacked just then, and the Monsterbots burst out of the building through the wall to fight them. Repugnus, sweet guy that he is, gave Octane a great big hug. Rodimus expressed relief that, though they were monsters, at least they were Autobot monsters.

Repugnus never appeared in the US G1 series although he and his fellow monsterbots did appear in the Japanese Headmaster series.

The Repugnus figure has a feature while perfect acceptable in the 1980s when he was released would today send parents into a tantrum of "OMG how dare they sell these to kids!" He can emit actually sparks, as can all of the Monsterbots as could two other Transformer sublines ( Firecons and Sparkabots) from G1. Sadly this feature is broken on mine.

next up is a starving Decepticon of two minds. ( note starving is a play on his name not his need for energy or food although he is known to eat most anything non organic )
