Who are they??? 3rd Stop: MEGA SCF Convoy 1 & 2



Left; MegaSCF TF 01 Convoy Cybertron Commander (Animed Version)
and right; MegaSCF TF 02 Convoy Cybertron Commander(Metallic Version)

:: Box Artwork





Left of the top box tab sports the series name: MEGA SCF meaning Super Collection Figure. Right of the box tab says " Super poseable and Full painted!!"...haha, please lor... I find this "Super Poseable" word amusing. It's either the Japanese english is limited or they are trying to lead us consumers because according to my understanding, Super Poseable = Highly articulate....

How can this MEGA SCF series be Super Poseable???



Front of the box has a window to show the contents inside.


Left bottom indicates Cybertron Commander Convoy. I personally prefer Cybertron General as what was written on BT 22. Sounds more 'garang'. Right corner of the box shows image of Optimus Prime with Takara logo.


Side of the box says "Freedom is the Right of all Sentient Beings"


Back of the box




The box of both version appeared to be the same.
The only difference is the label above the barcode which says either TV ver or Metallic Ver.


"The truth who the eyes met before"..can anyone tell me what this means?
I suppose this is another direct translation from Japanese.




More artwork

:: Toy



The animated series pack includes extra hands,the Ion Blaster, the Energon Axe and the Matrix.


Takara surely had no intentions to hide any of the joints as they can be clearly seen esp the elbow joints. Articulation is minimum but should be one of better ones based on our grandfather time technology. The details on prime itself is something to cheer about as they were nicely outline just like how the Bandai Gundams were done.


Look Out!!! Prime with his Energon Axe.


Prime can always count on the Ion Blaster when hand to hand combat fail.


And if all others fail, Prime will extract the power from the Matrix of Leadership .


Accessories in Metallic version pack included a megatron in his alternate gun mode.
Gone are the matrix and Energon axe.

Metallic version as was described. Gone are the outlinings.


Prime using megatron gun mode instead of his Ion Blaster.
I wonder how megatron felt being grab on his ass XD...



Metallic Prime: I lost sight of Megatron! Where did he go?
Animated Prime: God damn it, look whats on your right hand.

:: Custom Sunstorm Classic

Before Takaratomy decide whether to release the Classic mold for Sunstorm, I decided to go ahead with my schedule to custom this orange jet.

The color is based more on G1 Seekers mixing orange and white. I decided to forgo yellow as I felt it will turn out to be like KO. The color scheme is also planned to be in context with Classic Seekers having the body in metallic color mixed with Matt finishing on the limbs.

After 1 1/2 days of layering and drying. I finally present Classic Sunstorm :D

Jet mode





Robot mode


1st look: Front and Back




:: To Seek and Destroy...

Following the release of the exclusive release of Henkei Thundercracker and Skywarp, I decided to custom myself Thundercracker as well as the 'never release' Sunstorm. Both pieces are my 1st customs. I had assembled them with my Henkei Starscream and Hasbro Skywarp....check it out!!!
