Out of all the new Transformers I have gotten for my kids (and myself), Ramjet not only looks great, but is the sturdiest of the new line that I've come across. Now that Transformers are being made with "break away" appendages to keep them from being "damaged" if forced beyond their limits, I find that most of them simply fall apart too easily. Ramjat, however, holds together nicely.

I really love this remake of the classic Ram Jet. My parents bought me the G1 version in 1987 when I was in high school and still into Trans-Formers toys. Even though he wasn't what I really wanted for a Christmas gift( I wanted "Thrust"), I was cool with him. The G1 had issues with the rear wing weight balance, but I just kept him in robot mode. Unfortunately, my brother gave ALL of my transformers away while I was in basic training after high school. I wanted to choke him!

Now, with this classic issue, I love the color scheme. He seems to have a meaner look in his eyes than Starscream, and the cone head deletes the irritating yellow windscreen that can be seen above the head when Starscream is in robot mode. He has a few issues himself, especially the beginning of the wings leading edge restricting the full downward position of the arms and no nose landing gear or opening canopy, but I like this one better than Starscream.In the description it says that you can flip down the landing gear, but I haven't seen any yet. But, it does look like there's a place for it.

I have also ordered the classic version of Skywarp that is normally sold with Ultra Magnus in the "Battle for Autobot City" set. I found it on E-bay with out Magnus. Hopefully, Hasbro will continue with the issue of classics like Thundercracker, Thrust, Sunstorm, and just maybe the other 3 seekers that were seen on the cartoon.

I picked this up on a whim in the wake of the recent Transformers movie, along with Deluxe Classic Grimlock. Both are great figures, but this one is far and away my favorite.

Pros:
Ramjet looks fantastic in both robot and jet mode. The jet is very natural looking, and the robot form more closely resembles the cartoon version of Ramjet than the original figure. Unlike the original Seeker figures, none of the components, minus the missle launchers, have to be removed from the toy during transformation, which means fewer missing parts. The joints are pretty solid and the toy balances very well, thanks to the cape-like wings on the legs.

Cons:
There isn't much to complain about. I wish the figure came with fold out landing gear, though he balances just fine in jet mode. There were also a couple of minor paint glitches, but I think those could be easily fixed with model paint if I was so inclined.

Overall, this is a great figure, and a good buy for any fans of the old Seeker toys (or anyone who didn't snag the Deluxe Classic Starscream the first time around).

The Transformers: Classics figure, Ramjet,has a great and easy transformation from jet to robot. The decepticon symbol also changes colors. This figure is an over all great figure.

Yes, I admit it. I bought this for me. I wish they had made the seeker jet Decepticons like this when I was a kid. It's pose-able, it's durable, and it looks far more like the cartoon character than the original release. If you're a fan of G1 Transformers yourself or you want to get one for your kid, I'd highly recommend it.

I've been attempting to do some collecting of the more `classic' Transformer toys and decided to get Ramjet. They did a good job getting him to look like his cartoon counter part (more so than some figures) and he's quite durable (once again, compared to some other Transformer Figures). He looks great on a shelf, or is fun to play with. I wouldn't recommend him for very young children due to pieces that can pop off, and his accessories are small. I would suggest him for any fan of the cartoon or just Transformers in general.

It came missing one cannon, and, it didn't fully transform at first since inside the chest cavity where the cockpit folds into, there were these two plastic tabs that blocked it. After I popped those off, it transforms just fine now. However, I am still missing one cannon ><.

Other then that, it does look good, and is a nice addition to a collection. It transforms smoothly, balances easily and just looks cool overall. Captures Ramjet's details fairly well.

I was quite happy when I found this one in a store here in Brazil.

An excelent figure, true to the original transformers back at the 80`s.
Good painting and fun transformation in a tough action figure.
