    Did not see a thread for this, oddly enough. Moderators move this if it does exist somewhere.

    Got TWO Ultra Ramjets from the Amazon Deal of the Day sale (effectively around $15 apiece, so got two for one WfC Voyager).

    He's slightly smaller than I expected and a little shorter than Earthrise G2 Ramjet and Earthrise Thrust, but he looks fairly decent with them, if somewhat stylized. He's got 5mm ports for hands and on his wrists and shoulders, and two on the wings where the VTOL fans on the wings are (underside only, meant for vehicle mode position of blasters). ED: also two 5mm ports at the bottom of his feet, too. His arm lasers and double club fit in all of them. The double club is made up of his two thrusters behind his legs and are completely optional (don't have to take them off and you can ignore them if you want), but they give Ramjet a bit more of a personality.

    He has KNEES. Huzzah.

    Spark Armor works flawlessly compared to all the video reviews I saw of this guy where it flat out didn't work. He's got a nice eagle motif (some say inspired by Predacon Divebomb) and makes for a good Jaffa from Stargate SG-1 look (specifically the Horus Guard) when paired with the double staff.

    Transformation is completely painless, straightforward, and simple. Only the arms swinging back to the wings would count as unusual.

    You can stick any 5mm port stuff on him with no problems making him mostly compatible with the WfC Trilogy play pattern.

    While he's very much a 'you get what you paid for' figure, he's actually a lot better than you would think by looking at him. Very much worth it at $15. YMMV if he is at $20. Ultra Slipstream wishes she had hinge knees like this guy. He is by far the best Cyberverse figure I own and, stylistically aside, he's worthy of standing next to the other Seekers.

    The second Ramjet is identical to the first, and is having the white parts repainted blue to be Dirge (yes, that's literally all that's different between the two. Well, the wings are orange, but I'm letting that slide)


    ED: Found a cool thing you could do with him. Sticking his jet thrusters on his wrist ports with the exhaust facing outward makes for some neat Flame Gauntlets (insert 5mm fire effect here). Gives a whole new meaning to "Ramjet loves toast."

    ED2: crappy phone pictures.

    Jaffa, Kree!

    This thing is a lot of fun, and you can’t go wrong for $15. Definitely worth it, and he’s plenty of fun and looks good.

    I'd like a repaint of Ramjet as G2 Sandstorm. I wouldn't buy it, but I'd like them to do it.
