If I'm not mistaken, the panels in the legs are for the Micromaster Hot Rod to store in on the original toy, so the storage for a smaller figure is intact.

For those that don’t know in the Japanese market after the third season the Japanese g1 during the headmaster cartoon killed off Optimus prime and didn’t bring him back until the final Japanese toy line for g1 dubbed return of convoy which they brought Optimus back as a powered master along with megatron
@@brennanramos3019 well not much of the Japanese g1 story was known back in the day and with the new version of star convoy out new fans are maybe scratching their heads at this look for Optimus
Unusual for Ocular Max to drop the ball on one of the modes, everything from them I've bought has been great in both modes. They're still my favorite 3P company simply for all the IDW design figures they make, and Assaultus is pretty incredible as well. And I never realized until now how much Animated Optimus' design owes to Star Convoy's, especially the torso.
Derrick J Wyatt (I assume he’s the one who made the designs for animated and wasn’t just directing the style) seems to like Return of Convoy since Optimus and megatron resemble Star Convoy and Super Megatron respectively, heck megatron had plans to be a triple changer later on like Super Megatron
@@owenobrien1351 I decided to watch a series made by Takara after transformers dropped off in japan for a fair few years and it seems that Derrick J Wyatt or someone who worked on transformers animated was a big fan of the Brave Series especially Brave Exkaiser at minimum due to striking similarities of certain moments (both have twin robots combining by forming 2 symmetrical halves as well as dinosaur robots revealed after the skin is torn off from them that happen to have been exhibits) which I find interesting since Return of Convoy I believe was being made around the same time, just thought I’d say that
You might not need the knee fix if you leave it in robot form for some time. The issue is that there is a locking bracket piece that holds the knee in place inside, but due to long time in collapsed mode which it was shipped in, those pieces become warped. I left mine standing for a day or two and the issue fixed itself, maybe those pieces flexed back into shape.
Omg.. This Star Convoy figure is so amazing! And this vehicle mode may be great to fit into Optimus Prime's new form in the next future sequel live-action movie. And great review, Emgo!
That’s probably the best looking optimus I’ve ever seen and there are some nice ones but this has a totally different aesthetic I love it I also find it ironic how the trailer has treads on it and I just built a robot that has a trailer with treads on it dumb comment but lol you know the vibez 🤪
There is a fixing kit for this one, specifically for the springs inside the legs. The kit has new, better springs than the ones in this toy. It should solve the droopy leg sliders.
There already is a Galaxy Convoy. Optimus Prime from Transformers Cybertron. Hasbro released a literal Galaxy Convoy version, as Transformers Cybertron was originally called Galaxy Force in Japan.
To bad he's too big for Mega Megs. I'm sure a lot of people wanted the Selects version but weren't able to get it. Hopefully Max does their own Mega Megs to go with him. I like how you still "compared" the Selects version with it by comparing it to POTP Prime who's mold they used for him.
I love your views man but I seriously don't like the aesthetics of this figure... I love your blatant honesty about what you like and what you don't like.
@@tartatovsky well and go pretty much explained that the truck mode was nothing special... Honestly the aesthetic to me looks like something from Transformers the animated series... I never really cared the majority of the designs... The fact that it has issues straight out of the box doesn't help it... The truck mode oh my God the truck mode is what seriously killed it for me... But if you like it that's awesome buy it I will not try to talk you out of it...
I've never heard of turrets that rotate both at the base and at the barrel of the gun. I've only heard turrets that rotate at the base and angle up and down
A thought just crossed my mind and I wonder if this will work... maybe if you keep that lower part of the panel at the back of the leg (Which is apparently there for no reason) flipped out and stick it between the actual foot and heel it might prevent him from falling over at times.
what's with all the panels over his legs and feet that look like you can open them? like on the insides of his thighs? are they just stylized or are they actually removable/openable?
He looks awesome but has so many flaws that it takes away the awesomeness away from the figure. I think they wanted to do something else with this figure but things probably didn't work out so they went with plan b an that is why we ended up with a figure that looks good but super flaw
Is it just me or does the vehicle mode reminds me of a fisher price toy, and the robot kind of looka like one , i think its hr color they chose a bit too bright for me.

The windshield chest is actually useful for Stop Motion things
You can make a Custom Windshield piece and have him gave a Crack in the Blue windshield
You can pop off one of those Lil round circle cover's and tighten the screw Emgo. It worked for me. For the heel's 😄
They sure look like they all need it
The new d.n is the best

they actually made the vehicle accurate, the vehicle design just sucks tbh
@@kiramainepok file a complaint then
This is a good looking update to Star Convoy. Thanks for the review Emgo316
I'd like to lobby for "Prime Time Super Star", my dear Miniony friend
I know typos are common in cases like these, but I can't help but grin at "VEHICULE MODE" at 1:23.
Is this a Jesus reference?
Well that's how it's spelled in france
Just got mine and it came with the leg fix kit in the box, so props to that 👍🏼
honestly the legs while it was still in vehicle mode gave me transformers armada optimus prime super mode vibes
Yeah I think it’s a great figure and it is definitely Optimus Prime or Star Convoy or Star Prime . The vehicle mode is cool and the robot mode is 🔥
I want a KO figure of jet convoy
I'd love a Nemesis Prime repaint for this mold
The chest reminds me of animated prime

I used a soldering iron on my wheels to push the wheel pins in further and it worked great.

yours may be the exception, not the rule. mines never fixed themselves.
Just put one of your Spike figures in his leg and make him shout "MY LEG FEELS FUNNY!"
Is that a futurama reference
@@shitpost-o-matic7469 Yes! ;)
@@HitBit_Gaming nice
for anyone who doesn't know who this Star Convoy is, Star Convoy is actually Optimus Prime's evolved form from when he returned from being dead again
This figure is more tabby than a striped house cat. But it has an resistible charm. I like it.
Omg.. This Star Convoy figure is so amazing!
And this vehicle mode may be great to fit into Optimus Prime's new form in the next future sequel live-action movie.
And great review, Emgo!

This that the other thing is essential to all product reveiws
im not even interested in masterpiece toys but i need this. i seriously need this
Definitely wouldn’t call this masterpiece but it’s pretty high quality for sure
@@dustyyshellz1320 it's from Ocular Max, so it's supposed to be a "masterpiece"
@@fernandoflores3161 ahh gotcha haha. I’d say this one was a miss imo
I was thinking in the bit at the end, Star Convoy should really be telling Ironhide this is how he rises!
I should call him Galactimus Prime, because the “Star” in “Star Convoy” made me think of galaxies. Just a thought, really.
There already is a Galaxy Convoy. Optimus Prime from Transformers Cybertron. Hasbro released a literal Galaxy Convoy version, as Transformers Cybertron was originally called Galaxy Force in Japan.
I reckon some Autobot symbols on the truck cab below those turrets in vehicle mode could look good. Even though they end up on his back in robot mode.
The panels at the back of the legs is probably for a combination with a Sky Garry and Grandus that are probably coming down the line
Hey Emgo you can just say that star convoy has a hollow leg for pizza bagels
The third party ScoPotimus prime
Hahahaha.. "Keep Dreaming Ironhide my friend, Reach for the Star" hahahaha🤣😂.. i love it!
It's the same problem with the NERF Raider stock attachment.
As Coop772 Said: it collapses like the old raider stock.
To bad he's too big for Mega Megs. I'm sure a lot of people wanted the Selects version but weren't able to get it. Hopefully Max does their own Mega Megs to go with him. I like how you still "compared" the Selects version with it by comparing it to POTP Prime who's mold they used for him.
I think we need a BLOOSH megamix video.
8:44 gives a whole new meaning to pulling your head out of your ass. XD

@@GeorgeWPrice It looks nothing like Animated, this is classic 90's Japanese super robot aesthetics.
I like how it says on the box this is not a toy.
The alt mode looks like something Tonka would produce.
his chest reminds me of tf animated prime
Nice Figure 🌟😎
I don´t mind parts-forming, but faux-quibble!? For shame, Convoy!
An interesting prime
Optimus Prime: I have stars on me
Star Saber: You can put stars on yourself but earning the name is better
I used to watch your vids everyday when I was a kid
Glad I watched this video before buying.
Does the opened panel on the leg, the bottom one, can you just leave it open for support the heel?
no "Mind....BLOWN",kinda dissappointed
great review as always tho
That’s only for special occasions. Not every time.
Good Review
I've never heard of turrets that rotate both at the base and at the barrel of the gun. I've only heard turrets that rotate at the base and angle up and down
Awesome dude
Looks like a mix between g1 prime and animated prime
Because it is Optimus Prime
In Japan they did use the name Prime until the Live Action Movies
So Optimus there is know as Fighter Convoy
The chest reminds me of animated Prime
While this toy has flaws its the only one that truely looks accurate to the artwork so I gotta love it for that reason
Hasbro should have a core class star convoy that would be awesome.
That truck mode looks ridiculous.
A thought just crossed my mind and I wonder if this will work... maybe if you keep that lower part of the panel at the back of the leg (Which is apparently there for no reason) flipped out and stick it between the actual foot and heel it might prevent him from falling over at times.
I'm still hoping for titan class Star Convoy.
Convoy
Star Convoy
Beast Convoy
Lio Convoy
Big Convoy
Black Convoy
Fire Convoy
Convoy (Micron Legend)
Grand Convoy
Galaxy Convoy
thats one big boy....or as bumble
bee would say 'big bot'
Even though that’s Cheetor’s line
I'm sad there's no sad pacman on the box.
Wow
Cool review emgo👍
Someone should make a kit to fix the gaps.
And now super megatron
But...are the cannons BLOOSH compatible? ;)
Nice
I hope they make Super Megatron
What if that panels on the back of his legs were there to keep the heels from moving up
What was Star Convoy in? I've never really heard of him till now.
The Japanese Transformers
Japan has their own continuity
@@aleanddragonITA That's really cool.
cool
what's with all the panels over his legs and feet that look like you can open them? like on the insides of his thighs? are they just stylized or are they actually removable/openable?
I wanna know where his Micromaster Hot Rodimus is!?
What is your favorite Transformers continuity?
I really don't understand why slider joints are still being used in 2021. They just don't hold up very well and there's lots of better alternatives.
Does he have a sound feature looks like i saw lr44 battery covers on him somewhere under the panels tucked into his back
No, that’s just parts holding together other parts
@@emgo316 thanks... the round thing on the backpack looked like a button at first
Was that a Sonic Colors reference, or a height joke???
Anyone know where i can get autobot faction stickers for the shoulders?
toyhax
Optimus Prime upgrade form
Its prime time
it's prime time everyone
GIVE US SUPER MEGATRON!!!
A BLOOOOOSSSSHHHHH Opportunity was missed TwT
there was a bloosh. watch the video :)
Parts for what'parts for form shhhhhh.
Is there any third party beast hunter prime?
No
Is it wrong that I think it looks like a Cyberverse figure?
looks more like an animated figure to me
@@garytichen4854 exactly what I was thinking
@@garytichen4854 I can see it :D
Animated + armada
Hey emgo!!
Are you gonna keep it or trash it?
Keep it
Where's sad pac man lol
He looks awesome but has so many flaws that it takes away the awesomeness away from the figure. I think they wanted to do something else with this figure but things probably didn't work out so they went with plan b an that is why we ended up with a figure that looks good but super flaw
I personally feel it looks more like a super sentai zord than a vehicle to me
Is it just me or does the vehicle mode reminds me of a fisher price toy, and the robot kind of looka like one , i think its hr color they chose a bit too bright for me.
Do ya watch doctor who?
No I don’t.
The design looks superb, but the build quality on this guy is not good.
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Cause Stellaris Amateurminion just doesn't sounds as good.
No sad pac-man I am sad
My impression but the plastic looks really cheap
:/
ew fake parts
@TAURON you are lol.
Not the best work from Ocular Max, all around an average figure....
They're starting to make Optimus Prime look stupid. They need to give Prime a rest.
This design was from the Japanese manga and G1 toy released in 1991.
