Diaclone Prime; aka Battle Convoy

(See Also: Powered Convoy)


The Prime that started it all. :-) This is Battle Convoy. It's an interesting pickle. Note the stickers, the super-charged roller launcher, the pegless roller, the light blue color, the bloated accessories... This Prime eventually combined with the French one (below) to form several different variations in the USA.


More on 'supercharged' Roller launcher and pegless roller...

In France, the Diaclone Battle Convoy saw release through the Joustra corporation. However, instead of the super-launcher, it had a standard launcher (with grey roller...kinda like one of our first USA Prime versions. Hmmm. :-) Needless to say, it has the metal plates in the trailer, and the Diaclone stickers. (You know, the huge DIACLONE on the trailer, Battle Convoy keeps Diaclone truckin', license plate, etc, etc.) More on French Tfs...

So you can see the fascination with this mold. :-) In the USA, we got Prime with light-blue trailer-inards (but standard accessories); we got a Prime with metal sides and grey roller (and bloated accs) ...the list goes on. See the Prime page for more details on that.
