Masters of the Universe Battle Ram Chariot

One of the better vehicles in the 2003 Masters of the Universe reboot line was Skeletors Battle Ram Chariot. Not to be confused with the vintage Masters of the Universe Battle Ram which was a vehicle of the Heroic Warriors, this was not an update but a completely new vehicle which just happened to have a similar name. 

                               

When rolled along the ground the two rams at the front of the chariot move up and down in a butting motion to ram through any heroic warriors that stand in Skeletors way.
In the 200X cartoon, Skeletor was seen riding the Battle Ram Chariot more than Panthor into battle and it was featured in multiple episodes making it a stand out vehicle from the era, with it's distinct ram head design tying into Skeletors havok staff motif and very historical fantasy design.

He-man and the Masters of the Universe UK Comics


 Published in the UK by London Edition Magazines, the fortnightly comic series lasted for 72 issues with an additional monthly comic (Masters of the Universe Adventure) running for 28 issues and featured The New Adventures of He-Man for the last part of it's run before reprinting classic MOTU strips from the fortnightly comic. The 'Secret Files of Scrollos' strip featured origin stories for many characters including Sy-Klone, Rio Blast and Snout Spout, and the series included the characters Horde Prime and Scrollos. There was also a short-lived She-Ra comic title, that lasted for 14 issues.
In late 2003 to tie in with the then new Master of the Universe cartoon (now known as 200X) a comic was published by Toontastic Publications reprinting the US MVC MOTU comic which lasted 18 issues.
Marvel UK also publsihed two Master of the Universe specials for summer 1985 and winter 1988. The first reprinted the US DC mini series. This was a strange occurance as London Editions had the license to publish DC comics in the UK and published the UK original MOTU comic series so it seems odd that Marvel UK would then reprint the DC MOTU series.  The second special published reprinted the Marvel/Star US adaptation of the 1987 Master of the Universe motion picture but using the traditional cartoon designs for the characters rather than the movie outfits. All except Beast Man who for some reason still sported his movie design.
