Well, prepare to increase drooling, as TF-1.com reviews this very rare prototype toy, G2 Ramjet 'Desert Camouflage' version.
Not only is it fun to read about the history, but it is also very cool (and yet sad) to see the direction G2 may have gone, had it lasted longer. It is also interesting to see the toy piece at this stage, and imagine what it would look like as a completed final version.
Enjoy the review, and remember, our buddy Ramjet gets his own IDW comic book Spotlight coming up this November. Probably won't have the camouflage color scheme, but the tough attitude, and head on collisions are sure to be there a plenty!
For comparisons, you can also check out the extensive Seibertron.com galleries of Generation One Ramjet, and Classics Ramjet, and the rest of his incarnations here!

This could be a prototype, but I see how alot of people doubt it, I mean look at the brown paint aps, you can see the brush swirls. Official prototypes normaly have flatter paint
Either way, you can tell they had fun with this!

A repaint of Classics Ramjet, perhaps. Retooled missiles to match the artwork would be nice, too.
Snap to it, Hasbro. Chop chop!

But I'm pointing out is that when the "Jungle Attack" Starscream figure came out, the majority of the talkbacks were suggesting that the figure in question was a fraud and that whomever bought it was a sucker.

I'm just amused that, obviously they were produced at the same place at the same time, one is thought of as a fake and the other is ooh'd and aah'd over.
Of course this one has a transparency to back it up.
Someone mentioned that it could be another Seeker because new seekers always had new colors ... but that was only in G1. And even then there was a night assault Starscream (or soemthing) planned but never produced (there was a transparency on sale a while back). G2 had all kinda of wacky off-model coloring and Starscream's had tons of repaints throught (Robot Masters, ehobby reissues, and even Masterpeice Screamer had different colors).
