Star Optimus Prime is back with another post on this puny mortal’s ig account! Who dare does not bow before the 13th god of transformers!
.
I tried my best at showing off the options in Star Base Mode as well as the key feature of the head of Star Optimus being able to articulate downwards to act as a lil gunner station. If you articulate the forearms behind him you can utilize the shoulder blasters with hand platforms to balance a variety of scaled characters manning the top shoulder blaster stations.
.
The sculpted details inside Hotrods main control room are highlighted here to try to showcase them. I personally like to utilize the matrix hilt as a holder of the zodiac orb inside his chest. But you can also see the og base mode here to still give you the nostalgia of the original toy.
.
The microtrailers do contain some cool features that carry over from the original toy. You can connect multiples, Hotrod easily fits into the deep cavern of the back trailer, front cab comes off and can transform into another mini gunner station. I do enjoy putting the enormous blaster weapon on the side to act as a huge launcher.
.
The rotary wheel really gets an adult “weeee” out of you as you diversify different metallic tinted blast effects on the gunner, which it can be transformed into a handheld blaster, those shoulder blasters also pop off to become handhelds too!
.
I enjoy utilizing the tread unit as a land surfer for multiple bots that are on a mission. 😅 phew, theres more stuff to talk about but I ran out of space!
.
Up next…?

"YOU...SHALL NOT...PASS!!!!"

Are they planning to sell more of those little trailer things? I thought it only came with one. Maybe a new accessory pack in the works?

I take the extra Microtrailers as hint for Sky Garry & Grandus!

I'm on the fence for this Star Convoy Optimus Prime. It's not "13th Prime" for me (but I don't care for a one-line package blurb), and I'm not loving the "apparent" simplicity, body proportion, and the alt mode's appearance of the figure. But I like how the designers pack in so much play patterns into the toy, making the "base mode" more than an afterthought. So if it goes on sale AND it's confirmed Sky Garry and Grandus are in the pipeline than I'll proabably go for it.
