Ape X Arms

Ape X Arms is an Autobot drone from the Legends portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Ape X Arms (エイプXアームズ Eipu X Āmuzu) is the partner drone of Convobat. He was developed to compensate for his master's lack of firepower.

Available with the e-HOBBY-exclusive Legends Convobat figure, Ape X Arms is a redeco of Titans Return Apeface's accessory, in Optimal Optimus's colors. Convobat and Megalligator can ride Ape X Arms in robot mode. Ape X Arms can also transform into a 5 mm gun for larger Titans Return or any Legends Headmaster figures to wield, or combine with either of the two Headmasters to form a jet.

As a redeco of a Titan Master vehicle accessory, care must be taken with the gun mode's handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5 mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle's lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint.

Notes

* It's possible that Ape X Arm's unusual name is some form of reference to the Apex Armor, but we don't know for sure.
