Ramrod
is a space ship and an
Equaliser
Unit/Prototype Defense System.
It's
official name is Ramrod Equaliser Unit.
The
"Big Sheriff" Ramrod was created to
be
Calvary Command's answer to combat
the
growing threat from giant enemy
Renegade
Units being used by certain cells
of
the Outriders. Ramrod is primarily
large
starship, but can convert into a giant
250'
high robot weapon that walks, flies,
fights
and shoots. Ramrod is used against
Outrider's
Desperado Renegade Units.
They
come in all shapes, from man like to
spiders
to a wild stallion. You can almost
be
guaranteed one of them per show.
In
Ramrod's hangar, there is plenty of
room
for Star Sheriffs' personal vehicles,
like
Steed, Nova, Bronco Buster and the
Red
Fury Turbo. All of these can be let
out
in to the heat of battle in seconds.
It's
really outstanding to see the Star
Sheriffs
work as a team, to operate
Ramrod,
the actual star of "Saber Rider
and
the Star Sheriffs".
However,
90% of the time, Ramrod is
utilised
in his "Vehicle mode", and not in
his
"Challenge Phase mode". Ramrod fights
almost
all of his battles on land, and there
was
even one underwater!
Much
of Ramrod's armament consists of
lethal
high energy beam weapons,
designed
to engage the enemy Renegade
Unit
long enough, until the trusty
"Maverick
Quick-Draw" disintegrator
beam/weapons
array can be brought to
ear
against the hopefully, weakened
enemy
unit. It's not always he same
outcome
though, because these Renegade
Units
are getting tougher, and come in all
shapes,
sizes, and colors. "The good,
the
bad, and the ugly".
The
question of whether or not Calvary
Command
plans to build anymore Ramrod
equaliser
units is never
certainly
begs to be answered.
