Good old Convoy.

This guy right here was my “main” Optimus Prime for years! He’s a slightly simplified and modified Robotmasters G1 Convoy that I got when I was either 9 or 10, so he’s over a decade old at this point. He only cost RM10 ($2.50) back then!

Convoy here is the same size as the original but he’s missing the swivel articulation at his head. Also, his head is hollow. There’s actually some “improvements” on this KO. They put a goatee on his chin so you can easily get his head out for robot mode and he had a light up gimmick in his chest. Unfortunately, it got broke and fell out his chest when I was younger.

For weapons, he came with all three accessories the original had. The Ion blaster, the Energon axe and a firing missile launcher. The axe was simplified to be handheld, not interchangeable with his fist. Oh right, he also came with a cardboard box to act as a trailer. But I lost that and the missile launcher already.

He’s held up well apart from his light up gimmick literally falling out and his legs becoming very loose. Now that I’ve found him again, I want to tighten all his joints and maybe touch up his paint.
