    I feel sorry for anyone that ordered this guy without realizing it was missing his tail.

    Krok's colors are nothing like Alligator Megatron's though.

    I didn't realize he had a tail until I got Mindwipe. Honestly, he's going to be in robot mode 90% of the time so I really don't care about a tail that's just another weapon. It's certainly not important enough to me to buy a $110 separate figure just to get a tail.

    I have the Black Optimus version of the Classics mold, which IMHO is the best use of that mold. I don't need another one.

    If hasbro had done something like this, there would be incessant bitching to high hell(cash grab, lazy...ect), yet the usual suspects are mysteriously silent when takara pulls a dick move like this. Its an incomplete figure and if you want your figure to be "complete"(which some people will) those persons may be compelled to purchase a figure they didn't want, just for the sake of completeness. NVM the bodyless alligator in the room.

    If anything he'll look like Megaligator, but with some green added in.

    Now, far be it from me to white knight for Takara, but there are a lot of people bitching about this. Understandably so, it was one of the biggest criticisms when it was first unveiled and was the "make it or break it" factor for many people, along with the price.

    He doesn't come with Mindwipe's head either, does that make him incomplete?

    He has Infinitus instead of Vorath and Wheeljack's swords instead of his tail gun.

    OK. Number one, it's not "missing" its "tail" (which is actually a clawed shield and doesn't resemble a tail in the slightest) it's swapped one toy's accessory with another's. Number two, Magna Convoy does NOT come with Optimus Primal's tail: he comes with Mindwipe's shield painted as Magna Convoy's shield. It's not mean't to go with Optimus Primal nor would it look good with Optimus Primal. Finally this, like Deadlock and Grand Scourge before it and the upcoming Magna Convoy, is one exclusive toy with extra accessories: in this case Megaligator and Ape Arms. It's not a bodyless Alligator Megatron, it's an added bonus to make your own out of Skullcruncher.

    Comparing with Deadlock, it replaced Drift's swords with Blurr's guns and then added Drift's Greatsword. Comparing with Grand Scourge, it added Beast Hunter Optimus' swords. This toy replaces Vorath with Infinitus, Mindwipe's gun with Wheeljack's sword's, Mindwipe's Targetmaster with Ape Arms and adds Megaligator.

    No, when Hasbro does a redeco with a new/altered head and doesn't change the accessories, people whine their heads off. Just look at Combiner Wars. And that's all this is - Takara replaced Mindwipes' accessories. They did not leave anything out, because those things weren't supposed to be there in the first place. Convoybat is not incomplete.

    So can anyone tell me what kind of green paint matches the green of skullcruncher and a good lighter green to use?

    I've been asking for months and have yet to get a response.

    I just got my Convobat today and he's gorgeous. His hips are a bit loose but otherwise great! I can't wait to get Skullcruncher painted up for Megatron...

    The green should match the Takara LG Skullcruncher, not Skullcrusher.

    I've put it on my TR Skullcruncher. It's the same green.
