Title:
Grandus C-371
Description:
Grandus (1991)
ID number: C-371
Accessories: 2 small antennae, large antenna, radar dish, helipad, missile battery, dual-barrel cannon, 2 triple-barrel cannons, bridge, 2 ramps, Spinner
Part of the toyline’s Micromaster Bases line, Grandus transforms from a short fat box on its stomach, to a fat box with a base sticking out of its stomach, to a fat box standing up. The inventor of the Triple Changer is rolling over in his grave.
A terminal point G1-era city-former, he is painfully simplistic and bricktastic in robot and vehicle modes, compensating with loads of 5mm ports scattered all over and an arsenal of weapons, as well as Micromaster ramp and base compatibility. The gimmick-laden base mode necessitates and capitalizes on the shoebox-like design to feature a working elevator with a large platform, a repair bay, and a command station. The lower surface offers a play area of nearly 1/2 square foot of continuous space consisting chiefly of a highway with a spring-loaded car launch, and an underpass through-way that also docks a sold-separately Micro Trailer. Said Micro Trailer forms a "viewing station” in vehicle mode.
In ’vehicle’ mode, he can be towed by Star Convoy, and Sky Garry can be placed on top of him. In ’base’ mode, a connector from Star Convoy can hook up to him such that Grandus’s elevator gimmick is powered by Star Convoy’s motor, and this also spins the four 3 mm radar ports on Grandus’ shoulders and "ears”. Unfortunately, this cool gimmick tends to disconnect within the first few seconds of trying it out.
Grandus came with a dedicated Micromaster partner, a police car named Spinner.
