    That's pretty nice in a "Huffer towing Prime's trailer for him" kind of way.

    :lol 

    But Armourhide w/trailr looks very nice. Is it attached in any way or did you just put it to take pictures?

    Cheebs, your custom looks awesome. Better than ALT Prime, to me. :D

    The trailer does not attach due to how funky THS-02's custom hitching system is. But for all purposes aside from wheeling the truck back and forth going "Vroom vroom!" just laying it there works fine. :) 

    And thanks for the Prime comment.

    Is there an existing Prime or Prime-ish head that would fit on Armorhide? Sounds like an interesting kitbash experiment to me...

    Dirty, dirty minds people... But yeah, Cheebs, I can't wait to see your pictures with the trailer on, I'm sure it'd look awesome. The trailer doesn't connect to Armorhide in anyway, but for some strange reason, they work, you can move armorhide and the trailer comes along happily.

    Armourhide's one of those toys that doesn't get the credit it deserves, so I'm glad to see a thread dedicated to him! He's a really neat little toy... But that's an awsome idea with the hybrid Prime trailer (I think?). Looks awsome!

    Here is my version, instead of turning him into Convoy/Prime, I simply turned him into Conoy's whipping boy, Convoy Jr.!

    Enjoy his origin:

    And finally, Convoy Jr. with other convoys
