The RHINO driver has the filename and code of this guy: http://www.yojoe.com/action/03/rampage2.shtml



they mixed the characters up... kind of.

in 1989, Heavy Metal was renamed Rampage due to the copyright of the original codename.


But the 2003 character is clearly a completely seperate character.

... until the Target RHINO driver combined the two. And then Speed Metal took the original HM's codename.

Repeater too...

I got the set today,haven't opened it yet but I wanted it for stone and grunt, I'll have to see if I really like speed metal.I saw the cobra set as well and it's not bad either, has destro, elite viper and a neo viper commander I beleive.

As far as the codenames, this is just sloppy work on Hasbro's part. They've figure out ways around this before, such as adding codenames or slightly altering filenames. They're just not doing their homework before the packaging goes to print.

It would have been better to have changed up the color scheme on the Rhino driver to make it look like the NS Rampage and to have changed the flesh color to match. Mostly this would have made it look like its own character and not another Mutt (as it uses Mutt's head with even the same hair color).

As the figure is, though, Hasbro can call it whatever it wants, it's Heavy Metal.

Just adding in again, if anyone has an extra or unwanted Speed Metal, I will buy it from you.
