Originally from
the Gears of War series, General RAAM is the leader of the Locust
Hordes' military. He appears as a guest character in Killer Instinct Season
3. General RAAM is a Locust, a sapient reptilian creature who lives
underneath the surface on the planet Sera, a planet similar to Earth. The
Locusts desired to escape a civil war going on in their subterranean home and
began invading the surface, attacking the humans. Having high approval of
Queen Myrrah and being head of the Locust military, RAAM led his people
against the humans on Emergence Day to brilliant effect - a decade later and
he continues to fight valiantly for ownership of the surface world. It is
unknown how he came to the Earth to battle the fighters of the Killer Instinct
world.

General RAAM.
That's cute he spells his name with CAPITAL LETTERS so he feels important. I
didn't play much Gears of War... so I didn't feel any hype from this
character announcement. Judging by looks alone... General RAAM is
everything wrong with characters in most FPS / third person
shooters. He looks like any other forgettable bad guy "boss" that you fight for 3 minutes and then he's dead.
Woop dee doop. Is this even a character that Gears of War fans
would really want in Killer Instinct? Somehow I doubt it. Look at his default color scheme. The grayscale is real.
Was bringing a generic-looking FPS baddie over to the fighting game world — a world filled
with vibrant, colorful characters — a good idea? KI 2013 was already losing steam and popularity by the time
'General Boring' arrived, but this character didn't do anything to add more hype
to the game. What's wrong with RAAM's face? His face looks like moldy bread that someone used as a punching
bag. His space armor is also cheaply designed and looks shoddy (maybe he needs
to level up and upgrade it). In KI2013, his moveset is pretty generic, too. He mostly just stabby-stabs his opponents... and many of his animations are stiff.
General RAAM? More like General MEEH.
