No he hasn't. Convobat calls him by name in that upper-rightmost panel: レッカーフック = "Rekkā Hukku" = "Wrecker Hook".

And Wrecker Hook already had those little circles on his forehead anyway:

Doesn't the figure come with a re-deco of Apeface's vehicle?

Yes. Its name is Ape × Arms.

Yes, in Optimal Optimus colors.

Not sure how to reply, but why does the article above say it comes with a tank?

Because Va'al got things mixed up. Sigh.

Fixed, thanks!

It came with Weirdwolf, though (and originally with Titans Return Apeface).

Are we going to get this whole 16 page comic weekly, one page at a time?

I'd love it if we did.

Also, Convobat looks amazing.

I agree. I can't remember being so excited for a figure in the past year

I'm excited for a lot in this line, but this has me the most excited.

Third page!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:46 am

As seems to be the case, eHobby is releasing each page for their limited exclusive Convobat figure - the redeco of Mindwipe along with an array of features, like a Titan Master Infinitus redeco and Ape-X Arms craft/ape vehicle - and today we have the third one. Check it out below, as the story continues to confuse, with Generations Straxus now being joined by.. Beast Machines Megatron?

It's looking more and more like this is some kind of Japanese continuity origin story for Optimus Primal and Megatron. Straxus apparently created both Convobat and Megalligator as clones of the original Convoy (Optimus Prime) and (G1) Megatron.

It looks to me like BM Megatron's control harness was originally a restraining harness Straxus used to keep Megalligator immobile while locked up.

Nice to see the Robotmasters get some attention

Fourth page!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Fri Sep 02, 2016 7:23 am

Once more via the eHobby page for the upcoming exclusive Convobat (initially reported as Combobat) - the Titan Returns Mindwipe redeco with new Infinitus head - we have another addition to the comic that will come with the set. It's time for the Nucleon repaint to shine, as Megalligator gets some action!

DOTM Sideswipe's mechtech weapon! I loved that thing!

Megaligator finally found himself a body to attach to, and some mech tech weapons to boot. Nice!

I believe it's more of a flashback of what exactly happened before the very first page. At least we know why we never got a body for Megsie: it was blown to bits by Straxus, leaving only his head. And Darkmount as the location for his head experimentation...

Is it me, or is the story being told Memento style :-?
