From the Manufacturer
The stink of diesel fumes and hot tar follows RAMPAGE wherever he goes. His treads are packed with metal shards stripped from his victims, and the countless scratches covering his chassis are testament to hundreds of brutal battles. He lives to pound his enemies into submission, and thinks of little else. His idea of beauty is the sight of sun glinting off the raw edges of shredded AUTOBOT armor. Team up with this devilish-looking DECEPTICON warrior and get ready to take on AUTOBOT forces! In attack mode, this 4-legged robot figure’s treads become whips – ready to swing into battle! Then, with a few twists and turns, change the robot figure to jackhammer mode and check out the moving pistons! Finally, gear up for a serious ground attack when you unleash a bulldozer mode that’s ready to flatten the competition!

Customer Reviews

Rampaging
Rampage is one of the Constructicons who will appear in the Transformers: The Fallen movie coming out in June. His vehicle mode is a big yellow Caterpillar bull dozer. He also has an alternate jackhammer mode and robot mode.

For Kids:
For kids I think this is a wonderful toy. First, what kid doesn't like bull dozers? Second he has very unique and cool looking robot mode that is big and spidery that I think most kids will like. However, I don't think many will get much of a kick out of the jackhammer form. Also, despite their looks once transformed these toys are pretty sturdy. The only downside is that the transformation is rather complex and although the package says 5 and up I don't think many kids under 9 will have the patience to transform this guy and it is necessary to be delicate during transformation.

For Adults:
The adult collector will appreciate the detail packed into Rampage. His vehicle form looks great with rubber treads; it has gears in the treads, a big bull dozer blade with hydraulics and pistons, and lots of other sculpting detail. I only wish the treads could actually roll. The downside is that while there is some good paint, like the silver at the bottom of the blade, for the most part he is his cast in yellow plastic color. There are several little areas that if some additional detail paint had been applied it would have really brought out the sculpting details. For example the gears look great but are the same yellow as the rest instead of silver or rust colored.

He has a form called Jackhammer mode in between full vehicle and robot mode. The moving pistons are advertised as some cool feature of this but really it isn't that great. It's not like they're spring loaded or something, although to be fair, his front legs that make the jackhammer are.

Once transformed into full robot mode he looks great. He's really big and at first glance it's almost impossible to tell he'd turn back into a bull dozer. The blade splits and spikes extend to become back legs, front legs swivel out from under, the treads come apart and become long whips, the cab disappears... As stated in the kids section this is one complex transformation. **NOTE: The blade, or scoop, is designed to pop off to avoid damage and is easily popped back into place. It has grooves built in to facilitate this. Once fully transfromed it stays in place fine. Also, having it out of the way can assist with other aspects of the transformation.**

His waist pivots and his legs can be moved into many different positions, his head can turn or rotate slightly and the pistons around his "neck" can move, he has front claws that open and close and good up down, side to side shoulder articulation. He can be displayed in a variety of poses. If I had to wish for more articulation it would be some elbow articulation and front knee articulation. Still what is there is excellent.

Overall I was glad I picked this guy up.

Better than Demolisher
I picked up three transformers a couple days ago at target and Rampage is the more impressive Constructicons so far. I got Demolisher and Rampage at the same time but honestly I was really looking forward to Demolisher cuz he looked awesome in the trailer throwing Prime around. Anyways he turned out to be a bit of a let down in robot mode but not so with Rampage. In vehicle mode he is a bulldozer and from there turns into a jackhammer gimmick and then his robot mode. I didn't have trouble converting transformers from the last movie but for some reason these have gave me trouble but I blame it on the directions, sometimes the illistrations get confusing. His robot mode kinda reminded me of Motoro from Mortal Kombat the half man half horse. So until I find the rest of the 'Cons, Rampage is my new fav.

Definately my favorite
Rampage rocked in the movie, even though ( spoiler alert...) Bumblebee knocked his socks off, hes the first ever 4 legged transformer, and has a unique set of weapons. my disappointments were the packaging details and paint were way better than the real thing, the pistons don't actually move on their own, like other "mech alive" doodads, and they don't stay in place all that well, the elbows don't bend in enough directions, which is understandable because of the limitations with where they end up in vehicle mode, his eyes don't glow, but other than all that negativity I'm glad i paid 2-day shipping to get him. Although difficult i still recreate the movies battle scenes with him... don't ask my age.
