    Be careful with gold chest star it's enough to snap in two. I broke mine when trying to figure out why it wouldn't attach and would instantly pop out and down. I did get it glued back together, but now needs to be repainted.

    That's why I called it ver.1

    Try world's smallest Hotrodimus. Though kinda hard to find by Takara who issued it like years ago..

    I also tried using G1 Star Convoy's Galaxy Bomber gun, won't fit because its handle peg is too short.

    I have tried this configuration and it helps the gold star chest to snap in much firmly.

    Use gentle force and there are 2 extra buttons on each sides of red hinge pieces and gold chest piece. Push out a bit and make sure you left tilt a bit to let one button out first, then another button will come out easily. Same goes to thr installation too.

    You need to pull out the red connector and the gold star chest and reverse the position as below photos. It will also help you to store gold star chest better in trailer mode. FB_IMG_1570347946626.jpg FB_IMG_1570347949396.jpg

    That's not true on mine. The feet on mine are fine.

    Floor polish fixes the feet problems just as it did on the other two versions of the toy.

    This just made me realize that the star is casted in blue... Now I want to know what it'll look like with a blue star... me thinks a digibash is necessary here...

    Also, Thanks and I'm keeping this post in mind when Hasbro Pulse gets it in....I swear if it doesn't show up by November!!! *Wags fist in the air like an old man*

    It's fact. This tractor trailer alt mode is G1 Optimus Prime's, rather than the familiar and established Star Convoy truck mode which is quite different.

    Trying to say this is Star Convoy's alt mode because of the restriction of using the same mold and not having enough budget to change the alt mode doesn't change that.

    Nope. It's just your opinion. You're welcome to it, of course.

    Nothing came of Super Megatron? Bummer man. It's so weird Prime gets the "Iron Man" treatment of armors and buffs while that feels like it suits Megatron more because, well, he's the maniacal tyrant with a title that reads "The Emperor of Destruction".

    Thanks for this.

    Man, that gold piece is SO fragile. Is there a trick to get it to click in? Mine won't. Flipping the joint did help a bit though.

    All in all, I never had this mold so he's worth the money to me.

    He's still coming, likely after the Seacons.

    Kicking myself for not pre-ordering, where's the best place to order?


    Was this confirmed?

    Ideally Pulse. But the window has closed for the first four. TFSource has everybody but Snaptrap and Skalor listed.

    The !Legends comic has been building towards him for a while now. I'm guessing he'll appear in the next few pages. It makes sense as well since Snaptrap was a teaser for the whole Seacon team, and and they've been able to spread the six of them across a longer time span.

    It gives them time to wrap up SuperMegs and prep the next thing (potentially God Neptune, but no guarantee).

    Sorry - Meant the Star Convoy. I've already got all Seacons (so far) pre-ordered.

    A pic of him would also be nice, but I can wait, for anime Megatron with one too many guns is something I am missing a bit since the days of combining Armada Megatron with Tidal Wave.

    Though for those reading the manga, why pit Super Megs with the Seacons? I never saw a proper translation but from what I've seen the Decepticons have like disbanded in a way so Megatron getting the band back would make some sense vs what apparently are Space Pirate Combiners.

    In order for the "star" to properly click in is NOT to jam the truck cab silly into the cavity of the trailer.

    Remember the "transitional mode" of the trailer? Make sure the "smoke stacks" of the mini Convoy isn't all flushed inside but is in a sort off half in and half out when you look at him at the top.

    Then push the "star" peg into the central hole of his windshield.

    Please take note, my "star" configuration is the factory installed setting.

    Seems like King Poseidon here isn't the same one Godginrai fought in Masterforce and like that manga happens in an alternate universe?

    Wait, so is the Star misassembled out of the box?
