Rollbar came with the Jungle Strike and Night Ops Humvees. The Rollbar that came with the Snarler Cycle might as well be a new Airborne or Hit & Run version as he is the same sulpt and accesories.

And just to add to the confusion, the Rmapage that looked like Heavy Metal had the same file name. So between Heavy Metal, Speed Metal and Rampage you've got two different characters.

Heavy Metal v1 from 85, Rampage v1 from 89 and Speed Metal from 09 all have the same file name. Rampage v1 from 89 was laft over stock from South America and he is designated as the Mauler driver so if he's a new character why does he have the same name as Heavy Metal? Dunno.

Now, Beach Head wannabe Rampage and the Driver of the RHINO are both Rampage and have the same file name.

The RHINO driver Rampage does look like an updated, 25th version of Heavy Metal v1, where as Speed Metal looks nothing like Heavy Metal v1. Both Beach Head wannabe Rampage and Mauler driver Heavy Metal are armour drivers so this could be why Rampage is the RHINO driver, though if it were up to me, and Hasbro has yet to get back to me for my opinion on anything (bastards), I'd have made the RHINO driving Rampage be Heavy Metal and have Rmpage retain his Beach Head wannabe look. Speed Metal could be an all new character.

Seriuosly wish Hasbro would have signed longer trademark rights that way Rock & Roll wouldn't be that chainsaw weilding guy and Clutch wouldn't be Double Clutch.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
