Rampage

Description

As with my redesign of Dinobot Swoop, I also gave Rampage here a sex change too....again mostly because of a low count of female Transformer characters.
(But I've now been told that "Currently, there are about 113 canon female Transformers").
Also because I thought that the whole fembot idea just lent itself nicely to these particular characters.

Although Rampage's beast mode is called a "tiger" in toy and cartoon canon, he never really looked like a tiger to me.
I apologize to all the tiger biologists out there, but physiology not withstanding, what makes a tiger, a tiger, (to me) are the stripes.....which G1 Rampage never had in any incarnation.

He always looked more like a cougar, puma, panther, etc.
I did consider keeping him a tiger, and finally giving him the tiger stripes that he was always missing, but I decided to go a different route.

I made Rampage a lion instead.

I decided to play up to a "lion and lioness" thing here, making Rampage a lioness fembot for no other reason than because Predacon leader Razorclaw is a lion.
With this in mind, she (Rampage) is Razorclaw's right hand man....fembot, (and when forming Predaking, literally his right hand).

The original Rampage toy design was one of those "no-face" type designs.
Where he just had a visor, and a flat faceplate instead of a nose and mouth.
So I also gave her a face.
Although I suppose it makes her look a little less menacing....I added the "anime catgirl ears" and a tail just for the sake of making her look cute.
(No lioness would have ears like this).

I think she turned out OK.

Other Gestalt/Combiner teams may appear here in the future too, but I don't know if I'll be adding one or more fembot characters to each team.
I can't really see any of the Stunticon, or Contructicon characters as a fembot.
(Not that it can't be done.....we're all artist here after all).
I think that characters from other Gestalt/Combiner teams like the Terrorcons, Seacons, Protectobots, Airelbots, Technobots, etc, can probably do with one (or more) of it's members as a fembot.
