Battlestar Attack

The Battlestar Attack is a special attack from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Alt mode combo attacks were all downhill after Rainbow Power.

The Battlestar Attack (バトルスターアタック Batorusutā Atakku) is the somewhat uncreatively named combination attack of the Battlestars Star Convoy, Sky Garry, and Grandus in vehicle mode.

The Battlestar Attack "combined mode" (to describe it generously) can be created rather straightforwardly with the trio's respective toys in vehicle mode by extending an armature from the back of Return of Convoy Grandus's head that connects to a peg on the back of Star Convoy's trailer and then... resting Sky Garry on top.

Notes

ALL THE MODES.

• The Battlestar Attack would receive a significantly more impressive reincarnation some ten years later in the form of the unnamed largest combined vehicle mode of the mighty bazillion-super mode trio of Armada Optimus Prime, Jetfire, and Overload.
