Review: #473
Name: Rampage
Brand: Transformers
Allegiance: Decepticon
Line: Generations - Power of the Primes
Year of Release: 2018
Size Class: Voyager
Mold Status: new
BEAST MODE:
Rampage transforms into a mechanical tiger. He features a predominantly red color scheme which can feel bland compared to some of the other team members.
Rampage has the best weapon integration out of the group though since the gun acts as his tail in this case.
Rampage is approximately Voyager sized, above is a comparison against Generations Titans Return Optimus.
Poseability is very limited but is the best out of the Predacons thanks his front legs have more freedom. There are various stickers to add details.
A good beast mode but still a bit static.
TRANSFORMATION:
The trasnformation, like the rest of the Predacons, isn't too complex or mindblowing. The front legs become the robot arms, the rear legs become the first, and the torso forms a backpack.
ROBOT MODE:
Rampage's robot mode can be awkward looking thanks to the shoulders and arms being situated too close to the body.
He carries a massive backpack, this piece is required for combined mode (in order to bulk up Predaking's torso) but is hollow, so it doesn't affect his balance here.
The headsculpt is okay, for some reason, the head seems to tilt downwards just a smidge.
Rampage is slightly taller than most Voyagers. He is built more solidly and feels heavier too (but he is the smallest of the Predacons).
Articulation is decent, with joints for his neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, knees and ankles. All of them are either hinges, swivels or pins.
The beast legs dangling underneath his forearm is a little bit annoying but it doesn't impede on any articulation.
Rampage's weapon is a single barreled gun.
The gun can be held in either hand.
One of the annoying things about the sticker placement on Rampage is that the piece required for his foot is not on a flat surface. The adhesive on the stickers aren't great, and since this part requires the sticker to be folded, it tends to peel off.
A good robot mode, especially considering that he also forms part of a combiner.
OVERALL:
Rampage is decent in both modes. Again, he feels static in beast mode and the transformation scheme doesn't have any clever engineering to it. The robot mode is fine, just that some of the stickers like to peel off.
