Title:
Star Convoy (TT-GS01)
Description:
Star Convoy (September 28, 2019)
Hasbro ID number: TT-GS01
Accessories: Star Trailer/evolution armor, ion-blaster (formed by two blasters), Silver Matrix
Generations Selects Star Convoy is a retool of the Power of the Primes Leader Class mold, featuring new lower legs, head, upper shoulders, and waist parts for both the armor and inner robot, and a new torso for the latter. The Optimus Prime inner robot is remolded to resemble his Generation 1 toy, complete with toy-accurate yellow eyes. Most of the armor’s grey parts (especially the evolution armor’s arms) are now remolded in red plastic to be more accurate to Star Convoy’s character model, though there are a few sacrifices leaving some of the red patches on the trailer.
The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the ”Silver Matrix” that is a singular piece of plastic dipped in chrome. As such, it does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a ”Big Bang Cannon”. Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy’s stickers, intended to be applied to his trailer, come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied.
The star-shaped piece that clips into Star Convoy’s chest is new to this version of the mold. Because it pegs into a small hole between the tops of the doors to Star Convoy’s chest compartment, it introduces an additional step to access the matrix chamber. The red connector which attaches the star to the figure is misassembled, and flipped from its proper orientation. Due to this, the star is prone to not attaching securely to the chest and can easily pop out without much effort. A fix[6] utilized by some to address the issue involves popping out the star and connector, then flipping the connector around, before reattaching both parts to the figure. Care should be taken when handling the star and transforming Star Convoy to ensure it does not bump against other parts of the figure or experience undue stress, as it is molded from clear plastic coated in gold chrome. The stem of the star is particularly fragile and has been known to break without much force being applied to it.
Reminescent of the fact that the original Return of Convoy Star Convoy figure could transform into a battle station, a ”Z Base Mode” was created for the character for the Selects Special Comic promoting Super Megatron, and the toy (and any of the Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime molds) is capable of being configured into this form.
This toy was released exclusively through TakaraTomy Mall and, thanks to brand unification, Hasbro Pulse and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first Selects figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.
