    None of them do. The cover art looks like an earlier prototype with more paint apps.

    Got him yesterday, making him the second Constructicon in my collection (first being Mixy) and third deluxe from the RotF line. And he's probably my favorite of the 3 deluxes I have, not sure if I like him or Wheelie more. Still really great figure, really cool design, nice transformation, decent articulation (how do you do the elbow mod?). And yeah.

    Wait, you're between this guy and Wheelie for your favorite Deluxe? Are they your only two Deluxes?

    I tease. ;) 

    I'm not a huge fan of construction vehicles. This guy's bot mode is kinda funky. But he's honestly just a fun toy. Transformation from dozer to bot pretty much turns him completely inside out.

    I bought this guy on a trip, hoping to find ROTF/Universe Superion. Being annoyed and having money to spend on TFs, I grabbed this guy (even though I wasn't all that interested in him) and Breakaway (who I wanted for the mods over in Radicons)... Turns out, Rampage was quite the surprise - he's one of my favorites now.

    He's just fun. Get him.

    Well from RotF yeah, I've got plenty of other deluxes in my collection. I've just kinda fallen behind on this line in general, haven't really had the money to buy as they came out.

    So far I only have...

    Scout: Scalpel, Ransack
    Deluxe: Ravage, Wheelie, Rampage
    Voyager: Starscream, The Fallen, Mixmaster

    And I saw how to do the elbow mod (well at least Jin's version) over on the Radicons forums...yeah, dont want to chop my figure up.

    just got him as a present, i found him very original, in fact he's my only constructicon so far, i want to do the elbow mod tough

    i notice something i dont see on pics here

    the treads on the shoulders seems to be supposed inserted in the shoulder like that:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    they have a notch to maintain them inside, and that's explain the gray panel on them, it's use for push the tread close to the shoulder and so, avoid it to pop off

    well, maybe that's was noticed before, but in case if it wasnt...

    ...seems it's just to make his legs more interesting...

    I'm really happy at how the final product of the Deluxe Desert Combat Rampage looks like.. Looks nothing like the prototype photos revealed late last year. Yes, its definitely the Rampage that kidnapped Sam's parents as seen in the Egypt scene as part of a trap for Sam.. And this was the Rampage that fought with Bumblebee afterwards in Egypt.. The paint job on the shovel is very well done to simulate how it looked in the movie... Simply awesome looking...

    This was the "Desert Combat" Rampage in the movie.....

    And this is the same Rampage in toy form.... As you can see, the attention to detail is pretty good....

    Yeah, amazingly, the details on the shovel is painted. At first, I thought it was a remold too, then upon opening it up, I was surprised that its actually paint. Nonetheless, very nicely done!

    Yeah, the only real screw up is not having the proper look of the wheels that the treads wrap around... I never realized how different my toy is compared to your film shots. The toy has your basic 2 wheel set up, whereas the actual vehicle in the film has 3... like that Cobra HISS tank of yore!

    Yeah.. But don't forget that the bulldozer used as Rampage in the movie was a Caterpillar D11.. And the toy isn't officially licensed as a Caterpillar D11, so Hasbro/Takara had to do a mold of a similar looking design to a Caterpillar D11, hence there are bound to be differences such as the wheel set up etc.. This is also a similar case to the Sideways toy which isn't officially licensed from Audi as the R8 used in the movie.. The same goes for the bikes of Deluxe Chromia and Arcee..

    Can someone with the figure handy take a shot next to Animated Blitzwing?

    I'm really wanting to know how those treads compare to his in size.
