Big blocky toy base that rocks up with Star Convoy in the japanese "Battlestars" series. AKA The return of Convoy. In the japanese story arc Convoy (g1 Prime) stayed dead after he died in Headmasters and was reborn by powers of the Zodiac (? Actually, if someone could check on that) and became Star Convoy.
Toy doesn't look like a lot of fun to play with, unless he has a heap of cool basey things.
WTF WTF I thought wheeljack and preceptor were dead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVa5t...eature=related look

Well you thought wrong!
Actually - you're half right. Wheeljack died in TFTM but Perceptor never did. So yeah, it's a continuity screw up (welcome to the world of the G1 cartoon). But at least Wheeljack was still an Autobot (unlike Brawn and Huffer who were fighting alongside Decepticons in Season 3).
Perceptor and Wheeljack in Victory are actually entirely different characters compared to their previous selves - that's not to say that they're necessarily meant to or intended to be different characters, but their characterisation in Victory is drastically different to their previous selves. Comparing Victory Perceptor and Wheeljack to their previous G1 incarnations is akin to comparing BW and BM Megatron - yes, they are meant to be the same characters, but they are essentially entirely different!
Their Seiyuu (voice actors) are also different from those who played them in previous JP G1 series.
Still... I'd say that Victory Perceptor and Wheeljack aren't as badly contradictory in character compared to BW & BM Megatron (aside from the whole - ya know - being dead thing for Wheeljack).
Notice how Prowl also appears in The Headmasters (he's seen fighting alongside Ultra Magnus) despite the fact that he also died in the movie!
It's widely believed/accepted in the fandom that the writers for the Japanese G1 series hadn't yet seen Transformers The Movie, which came out later in Japan than it did in other countries (1988?).

afaik there's no such thing as Universe Bruticus.Originally Posted by autobreadticon
G1 Bruticus is 25cm tall and your average Micromaster Combiner is the same height as most other Micromaster Transformer - about 5-6cm.
'bout 8cm
Dinoking would be MISB as the toy(s) was/were sold in box(es) not on card(s).
A MISB Dinoking gift set is worth US$350 MISB and US$88 LM according to ToyFare's Price Guide. The individual figures are worth US$50MISB and US$13LM guide.
(in robot modes)
Bombshell = 12cm
Kickback = 13cm (head height = 9cm)
Shrapnel = 12cm
And there's not difference in height between the originals and reissues. The most noticeable difference is the colours - the reissues are a bit darker. And of course, copyright stampage.
The dimensions of reissue boxes vary wildly from little boxes for individual Micromaster reissues to the Predaking gift set reissue!
No way. Dinoking/Monstructor is really puny for a gestalt, but he's not that puny that he'd be the same size as an individual Micromaster TF (and Micromaster Combiners are about the same height as most other Micromaster TFs in robot mode). In their combined forms they'd be even shorter (but longer).
For example, Stonecruncher and Excavator combined are 9.5cm long but only 2.5cm tall.
Monstructor/Dinoking is 14cm tall which makes him shorter than a Micromaster gestalt like SixTurbo (who's 17cm) - he's even shorter than most Deluxe TFs these days.
e.g.:
Decepticon Brawl = 14.5cm
Bumblebee (concept) = 16cm
Autobot Jazz = 16cm
etc.
In Armada "Powerlinx" was the name of a Transformer that had be "upgraded" and thusly repainted. Many fans see it as a lame marketing excuse to repaint almost the entire line of mainstream Autobots and Decepticons.
In Energon, "Powerlinx" generally refers to the ability of some Transformers to Power Link (or "Super Link" in Japan) with each other, e.g.: Rodimus Convoy w/ Hot Shot or Hot Shot w/ Rodimus Convoy et al. The concept came from the G1 Multi Force gimmick.
Don't have time to do that right now - lemme get back to you on that later.

Noq4 - are there currently any combining transformers in 'transformers animated' ?

No, other than the Basic sized toys that came out during Beast Wars, and some random Japanese toys from the late 90s.q10 - Apart from recent news of t/f universe robot heroes, are their currently any mini figures for the firs beast wars series?
You would have to get a G1 Bumblebee and repaint it or have someone repaint it.q11 - How can i get a gold version of G1 bumblebee that resembles G1 Goldbug, i do not want to get the go-bot version?

Negative. Micromaster Combiners have never been reissued.
The only Micromasters which have been reissued have been:
+ Micromaster Gestalts (SixTrain, SixLiner, SixTurbo, SixWing)
+ Hot Rod (w/ reissue Star Convoy)
...the G1 Multi Force were reissued as "Micromaster Deluxes"
Micromaster Gestalt: Sixtrain
I wish they'd reissue the Micromaster Combiners... especially Blackout (and yeah, Spaceshot too
Micromaster Combiners Blackout and Spaceshot
As Paulbot said, there's also Fast Action Battler Frenzy.
Dude, the original G1 Goldbug is gold! (so is the reissue)
If you want gold chrome the closest you'll find is G2 Bumblebee. But there's no gold chrome version of Goldbug in existence.
