Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

What series?

[autobreadticon]

sorry, for the animated series

[griffin]

Optimus, so far known, will be released as an Activator, Bumper Battler, Deluxe, 2-pack (Deluxe size), Voyager, Super, and Roleplay Blaster. I think the Deluxe one is the only Cybertron mode version, all the rest are Earth mode.

This is the auction that sparked my interest

OH Kabaya Superlink Convoy (aka Energon Prime)

Assuming the auction is correct this is a complete Grand Convoy/Prime

WARNING The limbs come a separate box. There is no trailer for the Grand force units.The wheels on convoy do not move

I have this. So I know this isn't blind packed. You need two boxes:
(It looks like both are listed in the auction)
1) Grand Convoy
2) Limb pack: Fire 1, Gyro 2,Digger 3, Submarine 4

Optional Box.
3) Galvatron

The toy pulls apart to transform... see these photos:

a) Both boxes: Convoy in Robot mode.
b) Convoy with Arm removed (part of transformation)
c) Grand Convoy: super mode
d) Partial Transform to truck mode
e) Truck mode

I'd still prefer to have a full sized Grand Convoy....

Was watching Transformers cartoon the other night, the episode where they discover Skyfire in the ice and it occured to me that it looks exactly the same as Jetfire. Some questions:

-Are they the same thing?
-Why is Skyfire sometimes really big and then sometimes the same size as the other autobots?
-I know how Skyfire and Starscream got seperated but how did Starscream turn from a scientist and a friend of Skyfire to such a megalomaniac?

What happened to God Ginrai in the Victory series?
Why has starsaber replaced him?

Spoiler:

God Ginrai became Victory Leo in the Victory Series...

yeah Skyfire and Jetfire are the same guy-im not sure why they changed the name, but in the series bibal they said dont use his character too much

Skyfire was always depicted as being larger then the other tfs at the time

Starscream was probably disenfranchised with Cybetronian society and lashed out, or he could just be a really sadistic pscho with a love of violence

His size had nothing to do with his importance did it? He's such a pansy, I remember he gets one little shot and he's down for the count already pfft.
