Pretty sure Super Megs is a Galvatron retool considering he already becomes a "tank" and "super jet" but I wouldn't mind that mould again with some new parts.
And a proper head!
I got the reprolabels and helmet for him right away so I keep thinking that it's an included accessory! That horrible-from-most-angles facemask gimmick makes it required.
Sad thing is, otherwise he's a fairly solid CHUG Galvatron. All they would have needed is a helmet on him, like the Leader-class figures from TR had.
He just needed a proper regular head. It was our first really decent Galvatron figure and it was messed up by a gimmick. The chest had plenty of space for a proper Galvatron crowned head to fit into as well, just to add more salt to the wound. Very curious to see what we get for Super Megatron. This is a toy I've wanted since I first learned about the Super Megatron character back in the early days of the Internet/mid 90s, especially since Star Convoy had no toy nemesis. Star Convoy was also one of my early Japanese Transformers toy purchases, which I bought at BotCon 1996.
I'm not sure what to make of the inner Optimus figure in Star Convoy. Someone above mention Action Master Optimus Prime, and perhaps the head is an homage to the Action Master toy head (don't have mine handy to compare), but whatever they did with the chest on that Optimus looks bad. Wish they had come up with something else for the chest. I think I'd almost rather see it be a Powermaster Optimus Prime inner robot homage with that unique chest window design. Or maybe we'll get a proper Powermaster Optimus Prime / God Ginrai at some point in the future if we're ever lucky.
