Wrecker Hook has been repurposed as "Tarantulas". Look at his head. The same goes for the other characters in these two pages so far (although I can't remember which BW characters they are).

No he hasn't. Convobat calls him by name in that upper-rightmost panel: レッカーフック = "Rekkā Hukku" = "Wrecker Hook".

And Wrecker Hook already had those little circles on his forehead anyway:

It came with Weirdwolf, though (and originally with Titans Return Apeface).

As seems to be the case, eHobby is releasing each page for their limited exclusive Convobat figure - the redeco of Mindwipe along with an array of features, like a Titan Master Infinitus redeco and Ape-X Arms craft/ape vehicle - and today we have the third one. Check it out below, as the story continues to confuse, with Generations Straxus now being joined by.. Beast Machines Megatron?

It's looking more and more like this is some kind of Japanese continuity origin story for Optimus Primal and Megatron. Straxus apparently created both Convobat and Megalligator as clones of the original Convoy (Optimus Prime) and (G1) Megatron.

It looks to me like BM Megatron's control harness was originally a restraining harness Straxus used to keep Megalligator immobile while locked up.

Once more via the eHobby page for the upcoming exclusive Convobat (initially reported as Combobat) - the Titan Returns Mindwipe redeco with new Infinitus head - we have another addition to the comic that will come with the set. It's time for the Nucleon repaint to shine, as Megalligator gets some action!

I believe it's more of a flashback of what exactly happened before the very first page. At least we know why we never got a body for Megsie: it was blown to bits by Straxus, leaving only his head. And Darkmount as the location for his head experimentation...

Is it me, or is the story being told Memento style :-?

In the background of the first panel are some wallmounted bodies, specifically those belonging to Hellwarp, Wheelie, and an Overcharge.

Also a pair of swords that I at first thought were the swords that came with the original Convobat/bat Optimus Primal toy, but look a little different instead (there's even a C-clip on each sword's blade right next to the hilt). :-?

Could just be a body-type. An unused shell of the same body mold.

I'm disappointed in you. [-( That's not Wheelie, it's Dion, they're all e-Hobby exclusives.

Swords are based on the ones from the unreleased Construct Bots Wheeljack Arsenal pack.

Once more via e-Hobby's page for their exclusive Titans Return Mindwipe redeco LGEX Convobat - with Megalligator head from Nucleon, intended for the Skullsmasher/-cruncher mold - we have a new and final page for their in-pack comic! You can check it out below, along with some comparison images with the original toys (which you can also check out here for Optimus Primal and here for Megalligator) and some promotional angry Megalligator art.

I don't think it's a nemesis convobat, the head is different. It looks to be like the Nightbeat Titan master to me. Which raises more questions...

I would like a mutant soundwave homage, but I don't think this is that either. That toy was largely gold, not what seems to be an implied green. The screaming mouth on the nightbeat head might be a good match though, sans some monster teeth.

I have no guesses! :???:

I'm very excited about Convobat, but Megalligator still looks like Skullcruncher with a Megatron head. Seeing the comparison pics with the original BW Megatron completely confirms my thoughts about the green color and how out of place the pink/purple looks.

Because it is. e-HOBBY's order page (on just the mobile version, for some reason) points out that the Megalligator head is meant to use Legends Skullcruncher as its body.

I realize that, just saying that's not what I want and that I still want a proper Megalligator with correct colors with attention to detail and not a Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

I figured the colors were something like that, I only called him green because the wing colors were the clearest color in the comic.

I can't be the only one that sees this, particularly the four sets of pink eyes and the silver on his abs.

Nothing else really matches and where better to find him than a lab? Plus who doesn't like Megatron paired with an obedient Soundwave?

And him being a clone of the original Soundwave would be icing on the cake. Wouldn't be the first time a Soundwave clone would have a mouth:
