Dairycon 2004 Exclusives!

Click to see the full-size Tech Spec! Allegiance: Dairycon Name: Bunny Convoy Function: Field Commander Quote: "I am a sexy beast!" Profile: Bunny Convoy is the reincarnation of the Autobot Overdrive. Sometimes jokingly referred to as "Hoptimus Prime." A junior member of the Convoy Council; a disastrous mission to planet Earth resulted in his current rabbit beast mode. Rumored to have studied swordsmanship under the former Autobot leader Star Saber. Abilities: Bunny Convoy possessess powerful leg pistons, allowing him to jump over 1 mile in a single leap. He can hear a whisper 5 miles away, and spot a carrot 20 miles distant. The Haresplitter swords attached to his forearms can cut through almost anything(although cheese is prone to dulling the cutting edge). With Optimus Minor or the presense of the StormSword, he can become the infinately more-powerful, 'Frigid Bunny Convoy' (an effort he can maintain only for a short time). Weaknesses: His diminutive size and lack of long-range offensive weapons limits his effectiveness on a large battlefield. In close quarters against single opponents, however, his skills are almost legendary. Sense of humor tends to grate on those older than him. He takes it all in stride.

Profile: Originally formatted for patrolling the desert Southwest, SUNBEAM has unfortunately been reassigned to the upper Midwest. He is miserable. Instead of cruising his flashy car mode down the Vegas strip in balmy, agreeable weather conditions, he is now forced to operate in hot, sticky, high humidity or bitter cold. He has to put up with road salt that continuously eats away at his underbody. Cows don't appreciate him nearly as much as drunk gamblers. His attempts at reassignment have so far been unsuccessful. Abilities: SUNBEAM operates best in warm weather conditions. He has the ability to superheat his body to 1,000 degrees C, but this ability is particularly draining. He can shoot concussive laser blasts from his headlights. Weaknesses: Cold weather is not SUNBEAM'S friend. In extreme conditions, his engine block can crack, and his transformation protocols freeze up. He is not built to operate on icy roads, and more often than not ends up stuck in snowdrifts.

Notes: Once again, thanks to Shawn who gave us these wonderful creations! He continues to amaze me; I say to him, "Here's what we have. What can you make?" Well, here's the answer. :-) Bunny Convoy is hand-painted. SunBeam, however, is molded yellow. He's not a paint or dye job. How? It's a secret. :-) Just wait until the 2005 convention. The toys will be better yet!!
