10 Video Game Boss Transformations You Didn't See Coming
8. Rumbleman - Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2's Championship Mode sees the player pummeling their way through a slew of opponents in pursuit of the World Title, but when you finally reach that climactic title fight, it ends up being against a most unexpected opponent indeed.
The game's final combatant is Rumbleman, a Hulk-like brute weighing over 500lbs and standing at a towering eight-plus feet. But when legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer starts doing the in-ring introductions, he suddenly reveals that he is in fact Rumbleman.
At that moment, Buffer shouts "Let's get ready for Rumbleman!" before falling to his knees and transforming - but definitely not Hulking out, for legal reasons - into a gigantic, mutated version of himself with ripped clothes and ripped pecs that'd make The Rock blush.
Even with the Ready 2 Rumble games touting a thoroughly silly tone - Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jackson are secret characters in this one, for God's sake - did anybody expect the iconic, much-loved Michael Buffer to get involved in the action himself?
