Revision as of 14:44, 5 August 2009
- The Armored Convoy is an Action Master vehicle in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Armored Convoy is a gigantic truck that Optimus Prime drives. The cab portion becomes an interceptor shuttle, while the trailer unfolds into into a battle station with communications and warfare capabilities.
It's armed with a photon cannon, heat-seeking "buzz bombs," a disintegration laser, and double-barreled "pom-pom" cannons. Sadly, it does not turn into a robot itself. That would be craaaazy recursive.
There are probably few Earth roads that it can fit on. Well, maybe in the city where "B.O.T." takes place.
Toys
Generation 1
- Armored Convoy with Optimus Prime (Action Master, 1990)
- The largest of the Action Master toys, the Armored Convoy is a great big convoy, truckin' through the night. The cab unit can seat a single Action Master figure, and turns into a jet-craft with multiple weapon-mounting points.
- The trailer unfolds into a large battle station with lots of weapon-mounting points. The rear spoiler-section of the trailer can seat two Action Master figures, while the other battlements and foot-pegs offer many places to station other figures. The central "engine" of the trailer has a pair of flip-out (non-firing) cannons.
Trivia
- The Armored Convoy mold was eventually released in Japan, as part of the Microman "LED Powers" line, in clear-green and white as the L-20 Micro Trailer with "Laser Secret Breast Pilot Edison" figure.
