Tatakae! Yuusha Tetsujin Muscular Convoy

Last night got myself the final two components for my Armada prime.

1) Sonokong Micron Legends Ultra Magnus (that’s Overload to those who watched TF:Armada)

This is the Korean version of Overload. Released under the Sonokong brand. Sono.. WTF ?

Sonokong is kinda like Hasbro to Takara. They manufacture TF for
distribution in Korea. They also reissues some figures from the
Yuusha/Brave line.

Quality wise, it’s almost Hasbro-like. Nice packaging though ..

Yey ! No stupid wire twistie tie thingie ! Though these guys have cellotape fetish … +_+" No twistie tie means its easy tu put back into the box for storage ( or selling it MIB >:) ) . MISB ? bwueek …

This is Ultra Magnus’s Mini-con/Micron. Quite big than your standard Mini-Con.

MIni-Con robot mode. Kesian… no fists/fingers … :p Compared here with SparkPlug and Comettor.

No you know why they named it Overload … This is Ultra Magnus pulling its trailer. Can double up into JetFire’s carrier vehicle too.

Combined mode with the trailer. Shown here with JetFire.

Ultra Magnus in this mode is bulky. Not very articulated. No knee and shoulder joints. Oh, when you push the Mini-con in to the big robot to form the chest and head, you’ll get to hear the Classic TF transformation sound. Corny, but cool …

No other Mini-Con triggerable features available on this figure except for the sound thingie. Which I don’t think can count as one..

BTW, there’s two hidden missle cluster pod on the shoulders. Can also combine with Prime’s trailer in base mode to form a gigantic twin cannon.

2) Takara Micron Legends JetFire

Standard Takara JetFire. Not the Powered-up version.

Rear side of the box.

Inside …

Hmm.. after alot  of cellotape and one twistie tie on the Mini-Con later …

The shuttle mode looks nice. Very bright white. Features openable cargo compartment too…

This is Comettor, JetFire’s Mini-Con. Transforms in to Lunar Rover and front tyres for JetFire’s shuttle mode.

Push Comettor on the center booster, two side wings will pop-up..

Oh , there’s also two bombs, which you can drop/activate using the Mini-con on Jet-Fire’s wings.

There’s also another accesory included, which is supposed to be JetFire’s rear tyres for its shuttle mode. It also doubles as a chest plate for Jet Convoy (Prime + JetFire)

For JetFire’s robot mode, see the pix compared with Ultra Magnus. Too lazy to snap anymore pix :p

Robot mode’s quite articulate. Has all the essential joints. Wish could do something with the wings though.. doesn’t quite match the overall robot mode.

FINAL FUSION !!! (whoops .. :p)

You can combine Prime, Ultra Magnus and JetFire to form a super long transport mode thingie. Kinda like Star Convoy + Grandus + Sky Garry …

Very nice, no pieces need to be removed, so the risk of losing parts is minimal …

Here’s the combined robot mode.

Behold … JET MAGNA CONVOY !!! (or is it Jet Magna Prime … since the Prime is Hasbro’s :p)

Compared here with it’s KO counterpart

Compared again with RID Omega Prime (Cybertron reissue actully :P)

Compared yet again with Psyduck Super Mode (mind controlled by Unicron)

This combined mode is extremely top heavy. A bit unstable when standing.

But it looks very good. JetFire becomes Prime’s new pants. Ultra Magnus becomes the twin shoulder mount cannons and a gun. The two cannons comes with spring loaded missles.

Conclusion : I like it ! Now my new gen combining Prime collection is complete. I have now complete sets for SuperLink Grand Convoy (OP + Omega Supreme + Wing Saber ), RID Omega Prime (OP + Magnus) and Galaxy Force Galaxy Convoy (Galaxy Convoy + LeoBreaker + Sonic Bomber ).

Hmm… God Ginrai ….
