"If it flies, crash it."
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. |

Weakness:
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. |

Ramjet in Beast Wars/Machines: Ramjet came close to becoming a star in Beast Wars! According
to info on Ben Yee's page (bwtf.com), the 2nd series
jets: Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet were supposed to awaken with the Nemesis in the Series 3
finale episode(s). But alas, the idea was scrapped for financial/timing
reasons. Shoot! How cool would that have been! |
