I think Star Sabre actually has less articulation...

Star Convoy has what? 3 points? Doesn't Star Sabre have only 2 (his arms)? I can't remember if his waist swivels as well.

Ha ha, I just put batteries in Star Convoy's Roller and that things moves pretty quickly!! I put down some obstables and provided it can get its nose over it just powers through.

I think the "walking" should be slower though as he quickly runs out of table top.

Love it!

Sure, he's a brick-former, but he's one of the coolest brick-formers. Barely no articulation, but it's okay, he's just so awesome. And he's motorized!!! In robot & vehicle mode!! He has a battle station mode for all the Micromasters!! Wait, there's still more! He combines w/Grandus & Sky Garry (If you can find them cheap, but not likely, nor are they going to be re-issued any time soon) & makes them move around as well!! It's so awesome!!! Hope you enjoy him. Now go buy Sky Garry & Grandus.

To Vile MK III: I took new pix. However, I didn't upload them yet. Prob. later tonite.

To Decepticlone Soundwave: There is no way to find Grandus and Sky Garry cheap. Trust me I've been looking for quite a while. I picked up Dug Base (Brave series repaint of Grandus) for just over $100. Grandus is like $500+. I have never seen an orig. Sky Garry, but I'm sure he's expensive as h&ll. However, I have Death Garry (Brave Series repaint)for $50 and a cheap KO of Sky Garry that I got for less than $5. You can see both in my sig.

When I upload the pix for Star Convoy, I'll probably change my sig, the new pic has Dug Base in it as well, but it's a busy picture, so I'm not sure how long I'll keep it.

No. Sky Garry doesn't hook up with Star Convoy. Grandus does and it's only a hitch. However, when Grandus is in MM Base mode, there is a cog that is powered by SC. Go to http://www.tfracetrack.com/instructions/g1/autobot/starconvoy.jpg Middle bottom to show what I mean. All SG does is use Grandus as a landing platform. Cheesy, I know.

Now for more cheesy-ness.

Behold SC in Travel Battle Platform Mode!

I am going for him myself too.
He looks very anime-styled if you ask me.
He reminds med of Dai Atlas, a robot and a basemode.
Even with electronic walking function.
If i can get him for 45$, i would say go for it.

Yes, I normally keep them on display together. I also have a different X-formation for Dai Atlas for his base mode. I make him look like a travel battle platform mode.

It's pretty much the same as the normal MM base mode, but instead of keeping the nose cone pointing up like a tower, I have it leaning forward in a deffensive posture. I also keep the front ramps pointing down like a mine sweeper and the wing inverted to give it a more "battle-like" look.
