MOTU Origins | Ram-Man

Ram-Man is the Human Battering Ram as described in the tagline under his name in the original packaging of the 1983 figure. Despite being totally different from the other Masters his portrayal in varying media gives you a diverse idea how the character has evolved over the years.

But one thing is constant is the kind-hearted individual he was in the classic Filmation cartoon. There have been less than handful depiction of the character in toy form. The most recent ones varying in how he was portrayed stayed true from how he was depicted.

MOTU Origins | Battle Armor Skeletor

Every Hero or Villain needs a character development, but most of the times an upgrade doesn’t make it to fiction it becomes a brand new action figure to sell more toys based on that character. With Battle Armor Skeletor, it adds iteration or a version of the character that has gimmicks like the upgrade before the name itself.

There’s no general straightforward fiction related on how the character gained a ‘power up’ even a minicomic to support that transformation. But the back of the product’s card art just gives you the idea how the ‘Battle Amor’ manifested itself to be based on evil magic protection that gives every kid from the 1980s an idea.

MOTU Origins | Roboto

Roboto is largely unknown to the mainstream fans for Masters of the Universe. The character is a third tier for most of the casual fans who grew up with the original toys without any knowledge of his origins other than the minicomic that came with the vintage figure released in 1985.

There have been diverse origins of the character, but most of the basic story leans to the minicomic that Roboto was built by Man-At-Arms based on his personality, which was adapted in the 2002 MOTU reboot series by Mike Young Productions. But the classic Filmation cartoon tells Roboto’s story otherwise.
