At least this guy has more articulation than Power master Prime had, for the time these were made in articulation was not a concern, it seemed whoever had the biggest bot back in the day was the coolest kid lol
This guy and Super megatron (from a comic serise that takes place after headmasters i believe) is where some of the designs for animated optimus and megatron came fron
Like super megatron has a simler arm design (very simler) and head design (at the same inspird by G1 megs) and star convoy of the chest and torso
there is a series were he was called star convoy but it was for like two episodes. i dont remember which it was there were many japanese versions of the transformers
hmm.. reminds me of ar,ada prime, as ive seen, in super mode his legs are a brick but the top is posable, with trailer becoming the legs and whole cab becoming the torso, and it comes with a min guy( i know its mini-con and micromaster, shut up)oh well just wanted to point it out, and the colors are similiar
hmm i got this weird japanese transformer when I was younger who had 4 of those black carlike things that hold rodimus only it had weird minicon like bots.
God Ginrai with Apex Armor is a better display piece imho, but there's more fun to be had with Star Convoy in bas mode than Ginrai in base mode, just depends on how you display them I guess
Its considered by some to be the very last G1 one rendition of prime.
Some would debate that, but in essence that is was what Optimus prime looked like by the time G1 transformers Dried up entirely and there was that brief period where between beast wars and G1
There was no series, just some storys in a magazine, following after Transformers Zone.
Convoy's last G1 Incarnations are separated in two.
- in American storyline. his final fate was Action Masters, forgo transformation in exchange with "More human" feeling... I disagree with this Ending since Hasbro already has G.I. Joe. as ACTION FIGURE. (and a fan project portrayed that some 1st season characters become cyborg (with more fleshes). which this is the REAL actionmaster)
- Japanese. Convoy became BIGGER than before! but no legs articuation (same as Return of Convoy sub lines)
Yeah. I thought at first the creators deformed G1 OP's chest to make him look more like the silly cartoons we know, like Looney Tunes, Class of 3000, etc.
great review man, it's a shame they didn't have star convoy in the tv series he would have kicked ass, also fuck you to all those fucker who say star convoy sucks it's optimus prime for fucks sake, every optimus prime rules, the bad thing about this toy is his legs are stucked together but you can press a button that makes him move so 9/10 for star convoy any of you who think you can make better than that then prove it!
It's mainly people who came to the Transformers franchise later & mock early Transformers figures for their "Show accuracy" & "poseability"..
It's really the case that the show doesn't have good toy accuracy as it was basically written to bring together Takara's Microman & Diaclone lines in the west, so the animation models were simplified from the toy designs, & as for poseablility, well my imagination filled in the blanks for that..
about $70 not including shipping. It's not an awful toy, but there are many other Primes to spend the money on. I got a great deal on one, and it is an interesting conversation piece.
There is a good thing about this toy and one bad .Well the good thing is that it looks kool and i bet its even kooler but the bad thing is that his legs are sticked toghether :(
I hope this didn't cost you much, because this look so cheap-made, the legs don't even move Sorry, I have a certain taste in action figure, I like them to be able to move all four limbs and bend knees and elbows, and turn the head. I just like 'em better that way
