He-Man’s Battle Ram
This battle tank is a vehicle which was featured in the 1980s He-Man Masters of the Universe ridden by Ram-Man that’s’ why the tank has its namesake.
The Battle Ram’s exterior car parts are hued in a bluish army-like color. This beast of a vehicle is a tank that’s capable of battering down objects in its path. Even huge mountains and rocks are in for a rough treatment since this beast is capable of battering anything that’s blocking its way. It’s not enough for placing a stop sign ahead of it.
In the early mini He-Man comics, the Battle ram was He-Man’s personal vehicle handed down by The Goddess as a gift. It was actually the first MOTU vehicle featured in the minicomics series. Later on, the Battle Ram was shown as a generic vehicle with the Heroic warriors using many Battle rams. The Evil Warriors used green Battle rams which could have been Mattel’s inspiration in creating the Road Ripper.
As time goes by, the Battle Ram has evolved which underwent significant changes. In the 2002 MOTU Series (a favorite since it’s also shown in the famed Cartoon Network), a new vehicle with a similar name appeared.
The new vehicle was dissimilar to the original Battle Ram but it was named as the Battle Ram Chariot. It’s not He-Man’s or Ram-Man’s battle tank but Skeletor’s personal chariot pulled by two battering rams (the arch nemesis of He-Man, Skeletor’s that guy with a horrifying worn skull as a face).
