Another interesting figure from the Beast Wars line. While I like him there are a lot of problems with this figure. Yell at me: / baltmatrix Fan me: / baltmatrixreviews
Coconut Crabs, Robber Crabs, Green Sea Crabs, Moon Crabs and others are all semi terrestrial crabs that live in jungle/swamp/mangrove style environments. I think he was really modeled on a moon crab (aka halloween crab but they have a bunch of names) gecarcinus quadratus, which has red, purple and golden orange coloring.
This is a good point however the box itself says he is a king crab specifically, even though his crabmode does not even resemble your typical king crab. He is kinda a mess at first glance, reffering to both the toy and tv show, but when you give both the character and toy a chance I think both are equally interesting and fun. Hes one of if not my favorite characters in transformers and also 100% my favorite figure, very unique and innovative for its time.
I hope they can make him and Depth Charge in the Transformers Kingdom line. They would be a Voyager or Leader Class scale due to how big their size are in the Beast Wars show.
It'd be pretty neat to see what they could do with a new Generations figure of this guy considering that Kingdom now exists and they may (after kingdom) do the Transmetals, Fuzors, and Transmetals 2's, etc if they wanted too. Perhaps then, if Rampage does get like a Voyager or Leader class fig, the crab claws could be integrated instead of just hanging off the back and make him horrendously top heavy...
I would buy that in a heartbeat. Rampage was one of my favorite characters. He's what happens if you crossed Frankenstein's Monster with Hannibal Lecter and Mr. Krabs.
The pegs on the side actually do. I just got this figure and he does peg in on all of the holes. all you need to do is have it in the exact same way you have it just rotate it 180
Rampage's design always freaked me out on the show. I think it is the fact that most predecatons maintained significant beast elements in their robto mode (megatron's trex head blaster, waspinator's abdomen, tranattulas' claws) whereas rampage was just a big ordinary robot. It made him stand out in a weird way.
Mine too. I had an ex-girlfriend who found one for me for my birthday (still in the original box) at a garage sale when we were dating. To this day I still think I should have married her.
That Rampage in robot mode requires a lot of support when standing and taking accurate poses. His back part are extremely heavy while the body appears too simple.
I think out of all the "vehicle" modes in the Transmetal line Rampage's worked the best because it actually looked somewhat like a tank. Waspinator's worked too because they tried to make it look like a fighter jet.
the story was his pod had scanned a Crab for his alt mode was done Upon landing and turned Transmetal at the same time with the Quantum Surge. But i think due to his size and that of the crab. the crab was Prolly a prehistoric Crab and it was prolly really huge compared to the ones we know of but his Robot form is larger so you have to give the writers some credit for being creative. Some of the Transformers are bigger dur to being Transmetal figures.
I actually had a bunch of the beast wars figures including the Depthcharge and Rampage double pack. This figure I would say is the messiest as I had Transmetal Optimus Primal when he tried to take in Primes spark and that figure had tendacy to get messy as well. Overall though I would give Rampage a 10/10 for awesomeness, but a 7.3 out a 10 for execution.
I’m intrigued… Never heard of nor saw this double pack you mention. Google search produces no leads either. Was this from another country or could you be mistaken?
Makes me think of the poor people who have transformers but think they're only simple car toys takes the term robots in disguise it bit literally there lol
I know these are some old videos, but I love seeing these videos on the beast wars line, they were some of my first transformers toys ever. And still to this day will remain some of my favorite toys I've ever had a child. I was a VERY proud owner of Rampage. But a stupid kid I'd end up losing some of his legs :( . But I still carry fond memories of this cybertronian Hannibal Lector!
the claws do actually peg into the arms of the crab... in the video he said he doesn't like it or doesn't... i have the toy and they do, and it ends up with a bit more playing around with, but the tank tranks end up a little more flush and straight
I had to save my money for weeks when I was a kid to buy it. When I was in my 20's I had a girlfriend who found one for me (still in the original box) at a garage sale and got it for me for my birthday when we were dating. To this day I think I should have married her.
Yeah its hard for him to stand with his crab legs, cuz he actually isnt supposed to hes supposed to rest on his belly and the legs just make it look like hes standing
I have this figure, but I don't have depthcharge, nor did I ever. And to my knowledge, mine did come in a box (though I was a kid at the time so I wasn't the one who bought it...)
It didn't have to be Transmetal at first. The quantum surge Transmetallized all the protoforms (why the protoforms that were formatted previously didn't get TMed I have no idea)
It had something to do with they were protected from the surge because they came online on the planet. Rampage wasn't online yet, though, so I guess that's why he was transmetalized.
Best thing I can suggest doing with the crab arms in robot mode is to turn them into extra arms, but if they're as heavy as you say they are, that would ruin the balance so much that getting him to stand should unlock an achievement in this game called life.
Depth Charge: Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't try to play with big meaty claws! Rampage: What did you say, punk? Depth Charge: Big... Meaty... CLAWS! Rampage: Well, these claws ain't for just attractin' mates! Depth Charge: Bring it on, old man! Bring it on! Cheetor: No, people. Let's be smart and bring it off. Blackarachnia: Oh, so now the talking cat is gonna preach to us.
Ok, commenting on a old video but there are a lot of things you did wrong in the vehicle mode, I Love your Videos but saw you struggle with a few of these transformers modes. When you use the pegs you said didn't work for you The tank treads become flush and the treads work perfectly in getting the guns to spin. Otherwise great review. PS the missiles fit inside the crab claws and wasn't their a extra rifle in the claws? I have a near complete Beastwars collection and the Crab was based on a giant Jungle crab...
also, I think it's being picky about the colour scheme, really wanting to show that orange hazzard stripping off. The preview photo photo shows the official transformation with the claws pegged in propper and working(never had a problem with it as a teen) with the black sides facing inwards. The tread was also nice a snug at I recall. I'm sorry if it's obsessing, but this was one of my all time fav transformers
"Getting him to stand in crab mode is a bit of a challenge" he says while doing it with absolutely no problem.
he's just that guy
It could be pretty normal that he crashed in a jungle. Coconut crabs, one of the largest crabs in the world, are in more tropical areas.
Coconut Crabs, Robber Crabs, Green Sea Crabs, Moon Crabs and others are all semi terrestrial crabs that live in jungle/swamp/mangrove style environments. I think he was really modeled on a moon crab (aka halloween crab but they have a bunch of names) gecarcinus quadratus, which has red, purple and golden orange coloring.
Giant prehistoric coconut crabs are terrifying
This is a good point however the box itself says he is a king crab specifically, even though his crabmode does not even resemble your typical king crab.

i always thought he Rampage was a Fuzor of a scorpion and some other kind of Ant or Termite or something, boy wouldnt that be creepy
I hope they can make him and Depth Charge in the Transformers Kingdom line. They would be a Voyager or Leader Class scale due to how big their size are in the Beast Wars show.
yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhwoooooo
Even though Kingdom is finished, thus ending the War for Cybertron, let's see if they will put them in Legacy.
there are land crabs in the coastal rainforests, so his beast form does make sense for where they found him
Gee Smack Joey Pads
Gee Smack Joey Pads Huh.
Alucard, More Awesome Than Chuck Norris Google them
Gee Smack Joey Pads looking at his backpack made my back huer
7:30 "pulling off the crab legs and eating them..." LOL
You mean 7:28?
Yes
We would do that if this was a regular crab.
But this is Rampage, after all.
He is the kind of crab that will pull off _your_ legs and eat them.
R.I.P Rampage and Depth Charge Killed While Fighting With Raw Energon Crystals.
It'd be pretty neat to see what they could do with a new Generations figure of this guy considering that Kingdom now exists and they may (after kingdom) do the Transmetals, Fuzors, and Transmetals 2's, etc if they wanted too.

ah yes..rampage, one of my favorites, it took me at least 15 minutes to get to vehicle mode..good times..>_< I miss this masterpiece of a toy!! T_T
Beast Wars Rampage needs a new toy with less kibble, since the development teams can make better ones now
I would buy that in a heartbeat. Rampage was one of my favorite characters. He's what happens if you crossed Frankenstein's Monster with Hannibal Lecter and Mr. Krabs.
I'd like to see a masterpiece toy of this guy. If not, then maybe he could be in the Kingdom toyline
@@LordMegatron-qk2gz Agreed, I would buy a Kingdoms Rampage and Depth Charge in a heartbeat
@@pittland44 same
@@ethanhayes9362 yeah I agree,rampage would be a leader class and depthcharge would be a voyager

...you mean the guy whose signature silhouette is all the crab legs sticking out of his back?
The best Transmetal vehicle mode out of all of them.
Finally getting my hands on Depth Charge. Now I need this dude.
this was my favorite toy as a kid
Mine too. I had an ex-girlfriend who found one for me for my birthday (still in the original box) at a garage sale when we were dating. To this day I still think I should have married her.
That Rampage in robot mode requires a lot of support when standing and taking accurate poses. His back part are extremely heavy while the body appears too simple.
There are storage for all his missiles inside both of his claws.
YEAH WHAT THE FUCK HENRY?
Henry *grammar*
"As you can see... he does have a little bit of kibble" XD
I think out of all the "vehicle" modes in the Transmetal line Rampage's worked the best because it actually looked somewhat like a tank. Waspinator's worked too because they tried to make it look like a fighter jet.
This review reminds me of when I used to have BW figures. Good ol' times. :)

depth charge: don't these people know that i'm busy trying to find crab crab.
His tank mode is very unique and creative
I actually had a bunch of the beast wars figures including the Depthcharge and Rampage double pack. This figure I would say is the messiest as I had Transmetal Optimus Primal when he tried to take in Primes spark and that figure had tendacy to get messy as well. Overall though I would give Rampage a 10/10 for awesomeness, but a 7.3 out a 10 for execution.
That Optimus figure you're talking about is optimal Optimus
I’m intrigued… Never heard of nor saw this double pack you mention. Google search produces no leads either. Was this from another country or could you be mistaken?
I had this as a kid for about 3 years & I never knew you could turn it into a tank 🤦🏻♂️
Makes me think of the poor people who have transformers but think they're only simple car toys takes the term robots in disguise it bit literally there lol
I would love to see an updated version of this guy in the Legacy line.
God I wish they would remake this i would buy that so fast
I know these are some old videos, but I love seeing these videos on the beast wars line, they were some of my first transformers toys ever. And still to this day will remain some of my favorite toys I've ever had a child. I was a VERY proud owner of Rampage. But a stupid kid I'd end up losing some of his legs :( .

Thank you for showing us your version of transforming him into vehicle mode. Was never able to successfully do this until I saw your video 🤩
Anyone else find it strange that two of the ORIGINAL Predacons ended up as crabs? 😂
Who else
Wow, I absolutely love the colors on this one! Great head sculpt!👍
As a kid, i was never able to figure out how to transform him. And just played with a half transformed mess.
the claws do actually peg into the arms of the crab... in the video he said he doesn't like it or doesn't... i have the toy and they do, and it ends up with a bit more playing around with, but the tank tranks end up a little more flush and straight
Awesome character.
I love you Rampage your favorite Beast Wars character
Watching this in 2021, all I hear is the Crab Rave in my head whilst watching this.
Doing gods work, thank you
Hes not actually a king crab, he is actually coconut crab
the tank was not wat i expected it to be. he's super cool
I always wanted this as a kid
I had to save my money for weeks when I was a kid to buy it. When I was in my 20's I had a girlfriend who found one for me (still in the original box) at a garage sale and got it for me for my birthday when we were dating. To this day I think I should have married her.
Yeah its hard for him to stand with his crab legs, cuz he actually isnt supposed to hes supposed to rest on his belly and the legs just make it look like hes standing
Claws do not peg to under the mouth in vehicle or beast mode. Who ever says that doesn't know the series. You have it the right way
In robot mode, the crab antenna are suppose to be rotated upward pointed towards his shoulders
277Imperator your message is hilarious Ha-ha lol
I would love to get my hands on Rampage and Depth Charge.
I will never understand why they didn't make the crab claws his feet. They are unsightly kibble and make the figure super back heavy.
I have this figure, but I don't have depthcharge, nor did I ever. And to my knowledge, mine did come in a box (though I was a kid at the time so I wasn't the one who bought it...)
EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT OK DUH!!
It didn't have to be Transmetal at first. The quantum surge Transmetallized all the protoforms (why the protoforms that were formatted previously didn't get TMed I have no idea)
It had something to do with they were protected from the surge because they came online on the planet. Rampage wasn't online yet, though, so I guess that's why he was transmetalized.
FAVORITE
I lost all the crab legs XD
but it was a really good toy :´)
i still have this toy
I saw this at a comic book store in somewhere in Europe
You can also store the missiles in his claws.
"well...... he pinches"
So here's this giant enemy crab.
Best thing I can suggest doing with the crab arms in robot mode is to turn them into extra arms, but if they're as heavy as you say they are, that would ruin the balance so much that getting him to stand should unlock an achievement in this game called life.
Maybe Rampage's scanner activated over a beach.
Since when did Mr. Krabs become evil?
He needed MOAR money.
LOL
When he got an upgrade
😂🤣
SPONGE BOY ME BOB IM GOING INTO THE BEAST WARS TO GET MOAR MONEY ARGARGARGARG
I'm supprised the claws didn't firm the legs.
Kind of ironic you got both him and depth charge at the same time.
How is that ironic?
the reason I love you is that im having a fight between auto-bots and decepticon's and auto-bots are winning
I HADE THIS ONE!!! ;D
Did it come with his Spark in a energon cage/box that megatron would squeeze to control him.
Depth Charge: Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad if some people didn't try to play with big meaty claws!
Rampage: What did you say, punk?
Depth Charge: Big... Meaty... CLAWS!
Rampage: Well, these claws ain't for just attractin' mates!
Depth Charge: Bring it on, old man! Bring it on!
Cheetor: No, people. Let's be smart and bring it off.
Blackarachnia: Oh, so now the talking cat is gonna preach to us.
I need this one for my collection but they are so high now..
Why don't they just use the crab claws as a pair of either arms or legs? It'd make less kibble, and loom kinda cooler.
Love this thing well I do not know about the toy
This figure is the only one with a attack mode I like
If there was a river or a lake nearby then he could transform into a crab in the jungle.
Rampage
Name: Rampage. Species: King crab.
Be careful, Togepi. Those king crab claws can really pinch.
He said "front bottom claws"! 😂😂
i like the tank mode, but the robot mode is pretty damn just WOW....depth charge is win on that category
12:17
A LITTLE BIT!!!
Every episode when ***** shows his manly hairy arms while transforming any Beast Wars toys. :-)
Predacon Mr.Krabs
I think he crashed into a swamp. So there could of been crabs around provided the water was brackish.
And the logic of giant metal space robots landing on Earth and taking animal forms holds up even more?
i cant figure out what the treads are for ????
Ok, commenting on a old video but there are a lot of things you did wrong in the vehicle mode, I Love your Videos but saw you struggle with a few of these transformers modes. When you use the pegs you said didn't work for you The tank treads become flush and the treads work perfectly in getting the guns to spin. Otherwise great review. PS the missiles fit inside the crab claws and wasn't their a extra rifle in the claws? I have a near complete Beastwars collection and the Crab was based on a giant Jungle crab...
there was another gun, kinda like a shotgun right?
Yeah, a smaller more in scale kinda laser shotgun looking thing.
also, I think it's being picky about the colour scheme, really wanting to show that orange hazzard stripping off. The preview photo photo shows the official transformation with the claws pegged in propper and working(never had a problem with it as a teen) with the black sides facing inwards. The tread was also nice a snug at I recall. I'm sorry if it's obsessing, but this was one of my all time fav transformers
When he said to take off the legs and eating then he he means put them off to the side
There is a ratchet at the base of the claw
Giant enemy crab!
I love crab
just wandering if you knew, theirs info out on kyoryuger, the next sentai series
Attack his weak point for massive damage.
and i know razorclaw was repainted into rockbuster for beast wars neo
in robot mode the antenna are supposed go up
Liked this predacon
Hey how much money dose he cost ?
The cheapest I’ve seen him is around 70 bucks on Australian eBay
Very show accurate.
I think there should be more crustaceans as transformers
you did not transform the claws right in tank mode. missed a step. the claws peg in much better if you rotate them up
I want the metals version
Just till people that hates Kibble see that the backpack is show accurate
mine does
THEIR MACRA
The gold is yellow in the series
I got this toy at a flea market ,but it's broken , so put it in a box.
