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.

Yes, but Star Saber has three different robots to play with. Gimmicks man, it's the gimmicks.

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!

Yeah The only problem is its missing Hiq Whick pisses me off he said it fell off his shelf. Oh well it was 30 bucks.

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.

Just wondering, Can a KO Sky Garry link up to Star Convoy? :-?

by **DREWCIFER** » Thu May 24, 2007 7:23 pm

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.

man...i'm gonna learn how to make all those new star convoy modes. Those look kick ass

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.
