The contents 

 
The package of this toys contain the main parts for tranforming such as the “backpack”, super mode head & a gun. 2 cyber keys were included and it functions just like in the cartoon. 3 pairs or extra hand for extra poses. A manual on transforming & a collector card.

Hands are more of PVC like material, same goes to the head but the head material is harder.  Back pack, cyber keys and legs add on are made of plastics. The Galaxy Convoy figure is an amalgam of plastics and die cast. Die cast content solely located on the legs, the torso and hand is made of plastics.

Instruction manual and collector card

The instruction manual front cover features Galaxy Convoy, the instructions are all in Japanese but contains diagram that clearly illustrate the transformation process from the figure to Super mode, fire truck mode, space cruiser mode & heavy weapon platform mode. Transformation mode of this toy are authentic to the Galaxy Force series.

Behold the original Convoy from Transformers (yeah it Optimus Prime but I prefer to call it convoy here).

Small stature does not discourage Convoy to stand tall & proudly

The Japanese has done it again in compacting their product. THS02 also known as Original Convoy is Takara line of transformers robot for ppl with space problem

Front box of THS02 Hybrid Style Convoy master piece at 13cm

It is standing at less than 13 cm height, with some diecast content. Robot mode is impressive but abit fragile for big hands. Articulation is good if not excellent for a robot at this size. Most of the weight is felt at the legs due to the die cast content over there.

Did I mention that midget convoy can transforms into a truck, this package do come with a trailer & a roller & tonnes of accessories. The only lament is the truck mode is below expectation. The makers can do it better. *Update: I have lost the pictures to truck mode and I cannot find those pictures in my backup drive, so I am not going to bother transforming this toy again, as it is too tedious

Wow truck mode… but with tonnes of gaps… Robot in disguise exposed :S
