Probably not but I can't say I'm surprised. The color changes are fairly minor between croc Megs and skull cruncher aren't they? I doubt they wanted to waste the resources too just do a minor redeco.

It'll probably come out as an exclusive somewhere else, like Takara Tomy Mall. Because capitalism.
I mean, the Skull- toy has enough alligatorness to act as surrogate, but the deco does need more greenery. :-?

I am such a moron Steals_your_goats, your right. I dont need to spend more, I can just put the head on skullcruncher and make em face off. Sure more green, like va'al says, would be nice. But I am all for not spending more money

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! Damnit, Steal your goats makes a good point. That Hasbro head for skullcruncher isnt great, but he wouldnt need it anymore. You could get the takara version and then choose taht head for you skull cruncher and then put the megs head on the body taht fits better. But which is it?!

I would say Hasbro simply because Takara's colours are far more bright and work better for a G1 aestehtic.

I love it, but I can't help but think it's too bad they didn't do these as:

Ape Face = Voyager Triple Changer
Mindwipe = Titan Master

AND

Snapdragon = Voyager Triple Changer
Skullcruncher = Titan master

Having Optimal Optimus and Transmetal II Megatron in Voyager class, with their first appearances as appropriately small accessories, would have been neat.

On the otherhand this also just makes me think it'd be neat to have more of the Beast Wars/Machines cast in general, and I wonder if there's a planned con exclusive down the line.

Hardhead => Tankor
Highbrow => Obsidian
Cerebros => Megatron

Obsidian and Megatron would be pretty repetitive at this point, though, and we've had a lot of the Pre-earth Beast Wars stuff (though I personally have none of it). On the other hand, these will be really easy figures to retool, so I kind of expect to see a larger number of exclusives but a fair bit of laziness in our future.

Edit: Though I just realized they could use the Titan Masters to spoof all the reprogramming and body-swapping in Beast Machines. Repaint Hardhead as Tankor but include both a Tankor head and a Rhinox head. And Titan Master Fangry looks a lot like the old Savage/Noble toy...

According to his bio, he's a clone of Optimus Primal made by Straxus to be an assassin, but he rebelled against that role.

Really excited about Convoy bat but think it's really odd that they didn't take opportunity to do megatron crocodile in a 2 pack. Seems like easy money to do that.

I suspect they felt redecoing the green alligator into another green alligator was a bit redundant, and suspect that the included Megalligator head is meant to attach to the Legends Skullcruncher toy to give us a full-bodied Megalligator.

It's neither perfect nor ideal, but it's what I'm guessing.

Properly translated bio:

In a sense, Convobat is "Convoy changed his form in preparation for aerial combat. Unfurling his elastic bat wings, he can fly completely silently, with hovering capabilities. With Convoy's strategic and commanding abilities, he is easily up to the task of scouting without being spotted by enemies." But he is a clone of Convoy; to introduce the traits of organic lifeforms to the next generation of Transformers, Straxus has performed experiments to create the latest hybrid TFs.

With bat-like wings, he can fly and hover in silence, which made him perfect to train as an assassin robot. He rebels from his chosen career and plots to escape. He thinks that Megaligator, from the same stock of experiments and circumstances as him, is his only friend. To compensate for his lack of firepower, his partner drone Ape-X Arms was created.

This. Is. Brilliant.

I don't get why everyone assumes that a properly colored Megaligator would be redundant. Different shades of green, and no pink? Seems different enough to me.

What I do wonder though, is if they'll repurpose him further as Onyx Primal and whatever the red version was called :-?

Re: e-Hobby Limited Exclusive Convo Bat (1812495)
Posted by gothsaurus on August 5th, 2016 @ 1:28pm CDT

I'd love this as Onyx Primal, too. AND have to say... they missed a great opportunity making a black Sandstorm with Prime head as Onyx Primal. It has modes for the Tumbler and Bat-copter like in the recent movies.

Would have been.... so.... awesome.

Maybe they just don't have faith in the popularity of Beast Wars toys to sell--especially ones this obscure, and decided to go with one figure instead of a pricier two.

I wouldn't mind a repaint of Skullcruncher as Gatoraider but with a robot head based on Krok.

I think Hasbro Hardhead would be fine for a straight repaint as Tankor. I've already repainted him as Gutcruncher.

Now I think I will repaint Skullcruncher as Gatoraider.

I knew all about Onyx. I thought maybe the red one was called "Magma Type" or something. But yeah, nothing special about the name.

Whats slightly confusing though, is the character description actually sounds like he's Onyx, what with the assassin bit. :-?

It's Takara/e-HOBBY who might deem a Megalligator Transtector redundant since they seem to have color-matched the Megalligator Headmaster to Legends Skullcruncher's shade of green, if this photoshop is anything to go by:

Hopefully someone does a proper Megalligator at some point. Putting that head on Skullcruncher's body doesn't cut it for me.

Who was Convobat supposed to be anyway? I thought he was nothing more than a version of Optimus Primal, as his original toy was a direct import of the bat figure (both the grey and red version were called Convobat).
