Rampage

## Overview

A violent Decepticon that loves to brutally rip apart Autobots, Rampage is a brutal individual that loves the way the Decepticons have become during the later days of the war. Ramage has a deep seated hatred towards Goldbug, the Autobot formally known as Bumblebee, thanks to his part in the removal of the Constructicon's legs.

## History

### Before the War: Unknown - 4,000,000 BC

Not much is known about Rampage's exploits before the war. Many suspect that he was a fighter in the Gladiatorial Arenas, but no evidence exists to support that claim.

### Earth Wars: 1970 AD - Present Day

On Earth, Rampage would go into hiding, mainly in the country of Vietnam where he secretly helped the Vietnamese fight off American forces. Secretly following the Americans back home, Rampage would cross paths with a team that was secretly sent to Skull Island. While investigating what was going on, Rampage would get in a Six on One brawl with some Skull Crawlers, which almost managed to defeat the Decepticon in combat if they hadn't been called to their Alpha to assist in the fight against Kong. Rampage would travel to America on board one of their Aircraft Carriers, who's crew were preoccupied with the fact a creature as big as Kong existed.

In the States, Rampage would settle down in stasis mode in the quiet town of Angel Grove, but the rest came to an end when he was caught in the crossfire of the Power Rangers conflict with Goldar's forces. However, while Rampage was forced into robot mode, the Teenagers with Attitude would mistaken him for one of Goldar's enforcers.

Travelling East, Rampage crossed paths with Long Haul and Scavenger where he would learn that Soundwave was present on Earth and that he required as many of the Constructicons as possible. Travelling to the island of Bermuda, Rampage, like most of his Constructicon brethren, was tasked with constructing a bunker from which the Decepticons could prepare for the arrival of Lord Megatron. But before the Bunker was fully completed, it was attacked by the Autobots, after Mixmaster and Scrapper unknowingly led them to the bunker's location. After that incident, Rampage was unfortunately selected to babysit the pair in case they were ever to make that mistake again.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Photon Burst Rifle** - The Scientist's version of the sniper rifle is the Photon Burst Rifle. It has a more effective zoom than the Battle Pistol and delivers three photons per round. A later model of the photon burst rifle was still available later in the war during the time leading up to the launch of the Ark. Rampage would use the weapon throughout the War, mainly during his conflicts with Goldbug.

### Weaknesses

* **Intermittent Rage Disorder** - Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is an impulse-control disorder characterized by sudden episodes of unwarranted anger. The disorder is typified by hostility, impulsivity, and recurrent aggressive outbursts. People with IED essentially “explode” into a rage despite a lack of apparent provocation or reason.

## Trivia and Notes

### Notes

* Universe 2020.06 Rampage is based on the Revenge of the Fallen Characterization. His rivalry with Goldbug is based on the fight between him and Bumblebee in the movie.
