You may want to hold off on that idea. Hybrid Style G1 Convoy is roughly Legends-sized, not Deluxe, so the trailer may be way too small.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

It's also much bigger.

Maybe I would pay the 160$ for it. Because on Ebay, Hybrid Galaxy Convoy is 250$ plus shipping at the minimum.



I've ton of regrets during my collector life, ton of TFs I didn't buy back in time and which I can't afford today.

But this one is one of the few non-regrets I have :-D

In fairness a lot of people in North America passed on HS Galaxy Convoy back then because he was basically the same price as the full size Cybertron Optimus Prime. If we only knew then what we know now.

That's also what I've been told on the French forums back in time. I was stupid to get this one on the same price as the regular one, I was supporting Takara into doing stupid overpriced non-g1 products and such.. (yes fr forums are 99% geewun).

Should I said that I also got most of the robomasters at their release, when they where all 15$ ? :-D

Eh, the Hybrid Style mold is more like a Scout class of the Cybertron days than the Legends class of today, so it is smaller than a Deluxe but not quite as small as that Legends class OP.

Not really. Hybrid is so bad, that even the MP-01 and Classic deluxe, ones that have infamous bad truck mode, are ashamed of it. Hybrid flaunt his diecast with pride because he's so "premium", all while ignoring the others who are red with shame.

I didn't even know RM Optimus existed. What's his size? Would it be in scale with the Hybrid trailer?

Also, both truck and bot modes are not perfect, but they are certainly decent enough. But not enough for me to pay the 70$+ the aftermarket ask for.

I actually rather like this figure (I have the "LC-01" reissue) -- unfortunately, it's smaller than a Deluxe so it's out of place with my Takara Legends. But really, time for a Deluxe Prime that can absorb all his wheels in robot-mode; a perfect face/head sculpt; retractable thighs, etc.
MP-10 is so popular and gets reissued all the time, why won't HasTak would make a Deluxe one, too?

Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy is a $90-$100 toy. Don't pay more than that. I'm not saying you can go on eBay whenever and pay that, mind you, but if you exercise some patience that's an appropriate range :)

It's probably because Deluxe class is traditionally meant for the average-sized bots while Optimus Prime is traditionally supposed to be bigger-than-average-sized. He's a truck among cars, a leader among followers, the guy most of his troops look up to both figuratively and literally. Voyager class (or, in the past, Mega class, and its equivalents) is generally regarded as the minimum appropriate size class for Optimus since he's usually not supposed to be on the same height level as the majority of his teammates.

There's this, for one. For another, Optimus Prime toys sell, so they're going to look at higher price/margin size classes to mitigate risks carried by some of the other choices in the size class (example: Leader Blaster)

They release him in every size-class though, so it's probably not that. Although I want a Deluxe I'm talking more about the design. Why haven't they made a proper CHUG figure of his iconic incarnation instead (or in addition to) all the gimmicky toys of him -- combiner, headmaster, triple-changer, powermaster, etc. For sure they know how to hide wheels now (and if the LG Headmasters are anything to go by) make perfect head-sculpts that look like 3D screen-grabs from the cartoon.
I'd be okay with Legend class, too. (Leader-class would be redundant with MP-10 around.)

We just have not gotten a good G1 styled Optimus Prime.

The Legends Class IDW Prime did get a gorgeous repaint from Takara. Now if it were only upscaled to Deluxe size....

They didn't always and even some recent lines that do still haven't covered every size class for him.

They probably feel that they've already covered that ground with existing Deluxes that drew from his original look (like the Classics "Ultimate Battle" one, even if that one's lame), and want to do other things with him to keep up with the ever-changing nature of the brand that necessitates creating new and fresh ideas for old characters.

And, again, doing the old design at the Deluxe scale always ends up making him puny among his compatriots. Legends and Legions are like a separate scale on their own when it comes to making toys for big characters at those sizes since no one expects a Legion or Legends class Optimus to be hanging out with, say, a Deluxe Prowl or a Voyager Megatron. But a Deluxe Optimus doesn't really fit that with anything other than other Deluxe toys of similarly big characters, of which there are so few already since big characters tend to warrant big toys (and when they end up only getting small [non-Legends/non-Legion] toys instead, the fans usually complain).

I still prefer his original Classics incarnation. Sure, it's not the exact same cab-over design and has issues with the forearms. But, I like him just fine! Still the best, IMHO...

Depends how lenient you are with scale in CHUG. Since I have Masterpiece for the "perfect" scale, my CHUG is less "strict." For me, Deluxe is fine for anyone from Ironhide to Prime. Legends for the Bumblebee, Brawn, Insecticons type of characters. Voyager for Dinobots. Leaders for giants like Skyfire. And anything bigger for people like Devastator.
(btw, four of the Dinobots are Deluxe class and they're supposed to tower almost everyone.)
Anyway, doesn't really matter anymore since Hasbro calls the shots now with regards to decos, and they've gone back to stickers and grey fists.
I might print a non-transforming figure in the scale that I want. Or upgrade the existing one a lil bit.

I think you mean to say that the truck modes of MP-01 and 2006 Deluxe Classics Optimus Prime put Hybrid Style Convoy to shame, ne?


Not really. Hybrid is so bad, that even the MP-01 and Classic deluxe, ones that have infamous bad truck mode, are ashamed of it. Hybrid flaunt his diecast with pride because he's so "premium", all while ignoring the others who are red with shame.


Kanrabat, is English your second language? I ask because you seem to be Quebequois? I'm just trying to be helpful, but the way you worded it before, for English speakers, would tell us that you think the parties A putting party B to shame do so because they are superior, not that the inferiority of party B makes parties A feel shame, even if that is empathetic embarrassment. :)

Yes, still my favourite classics Prime. And the one I always use for any scene or scale. I have no use for a deluxe prime, and I have no use for a leader prime as well, not when we have the MP around.

Also, we did have a recent deluxe Optimus with the RID one (which of course was not CHUG design, I get that)
