Another photo of Galaxy Convoy. (Click to see the full-sized photo.)
I hope to slap together a review soon but in the meantime, here are some brief thoughts.
Galaxy Convoy has a lacklustre vehicle mode evoking the blander future-tech designs of the late G1 era, a laughable flight mode and a simple transformation revealing a posable but uninspiring robot mode.
But the last mode sells the figure. Galaxy Convoy ver. Super Mode is Super Ginrai updated and done right. It’s powerful and imposing while still retaining traditional Convoy elements.
The bonus is Galaxy Convoy will have additional modes available via upcoming figures. The first attempt looks embarrassing but I’m wagering there is a God Ginrai equivalent in the offing.
For fans of the design, the quandary is this: do you get GC-01 Galaxy Convoy, wait for the Hasbro equivalent or gamble that Takara pulls off the ambitious HBS-01 Galaxy Convoy?
