Last is Grandus. He's commonly referred to as the epidome of G1 Brickishness, He comes packaged with Spinner, one of the best looking Micromasters IMO. his vehicle mode is basically him on his belly with some transformation to make him sit flatter and add to the flight deck, he packs a lot of guns though, and this mode is very versatile, but more on that later
Bot mode has shoulder articulation, the guns carry over to this mode as well as part of the flight deck becoming a shield for his arm
Base mode is where Grandus really shines though, there is a wheel on his back that makes the radars spin and the elevator go up and down, the small yellow piece in the middle is a Micromaster launcher, repair arms on one of the levels, the small white door in the lower back is a docking station for a Microtrailer, and the shield becomes a Helipad for the top of the base. There is also a port on the back of him to attach an adapter from Star Convoy's Roller, to make the elevator and radars work with the motor

Combined with Sky Garry, as per the instructions, he looks great, couldn't fit all three in their base modes in the light box as Star Convoy is huge, also, you can see the Microtrailer docked on Grandus in this pic
The three of them combine into "Triple Combination Battlestar Attack", which makes Grandus into a second trailer for Star Convoy with Sky Garry on top, not really a combination in the traditional sense, but it's still a cool play feature, i would have loved to have this set as a kid
There's also a few other combinations for him
With Dai Atlas
With Metroplex, which is probably the most combined he gets, the posts on his shoulders peg into metroplex's fist holes very securely
and just for fun since he's a repaint of Metroplex, Metrotitan comes out
I'm very pleased with this set since i love Micromasters, and i'm unconcerned about poseability. the base mode is the biggest Micromaster set. even Big Powered isn't as big in base mode.
a cool set, with a few neat surprises for me.
