'''Grandus''' is a colossal Autobot who serves as a base for the numerous Autobot [[Micromaster|Micromasters]]. He can combine with [[Optimus Prime (G1)#The_Battlestars|Star Convoy]] and [[Sky Garry]] to form the [[Triple Combination Battlestar Attack]].<br />
<br />
His Micromaster partner is [[Spinner]].<br />

Grandus fought alongside Star Convoy and Sky Garry against the threat of Super Megatron and his [[Great Galaman]] and [[Great Novaroid]] forces. When Ultra Megatron and [[Dark Nova]] combined into [[Dark Nova|Star Giant]],<br />
Grandus was on the frontline fighting against the all-powerful entity.<br />
Together with Star Convoy and Sky Garry, he traveled into Star Giant's<br />
belly and destroyed the villain from the inside out. He escaped Star<br />
Giant seconds before it detonated.<br />

===Return of Convoy===<br />
*'''Grandus''' (Autobot, 1991)<br />
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-371'''<br />
<br />
:He transforms from a short fat box on its stomach, to a fat box with a base sticking out of its stomach, to a fat box standing up. The inventor of the [[Triple Changer]] is rolling over in his grave.<br />
<br />
:In 'vehicle' mode, he can be towed by [[Star Convoy]], and [[Sky Garry]] can be placed on top of him. In 'base' mode, a connector from Star Convoy can hook up to him such that Grandus's elevator gimmick is powered by Star Convoy's motor. Unfortunately, this cool gimmick tends to break within the first or second time trying it out.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Grandus had the pre-production name of '''Iron Baron'''.<br />
* Grandus's [[instructions]] show that [[Dai Atlas]] can use his motor gimmick in vehicle mode to tow Grandus.<br />
*Grandus was [[Retool|retooled]] to make the "Dag Base" from ''Dagwon'' toyline, [[Takara]]'s ''[[Brave series]]''. Here, it served as both a base and a disturbingly overpowered (once all seven Dagwons are piloting it) "final mecha". Unfortunately, the Dag Base toy has been significantly remolded and somewhat gutted such that he can not be towed in vehicle mode by Star Convoy, and Star Convoy cannot power his elevator in base mode. This is one of many examples of late-run ''Transformers'' toys being recycled for a [[Brave]] Series release.<br />
* Grandus made a cameo in the transformers animated episode 'decepticon air', where towards the end, in his alt mode, sentinel prime is seen standing on him while giving a speech to all the autobots on cybertron.<br />
