I always find it strange that some people need a story behind a repaint to like it. I just think he looks great and I've never had a problem with this mold at all (although I do with he could more securely hold his gun). I'm looking forward to him and I think it would be great if Rodimus was next.

 

Me too.

 

If you don't like it then don't buy it....I actually wanted to only get the original optimus only but this is really having me change my thoughts.

 

looks nice but im still trying get ahold of Grimlock mp  

 

Meh. I'm not that impressed, so I'll pass.

I love the speculation that Rodimus will be next, though. That would be amazing.

 

The front window misalignment issue on this mold bugs the hell out of me...I've avoided the mold for that reason alone. If they were actually able to fix the problem it would make me consider picking this one up.

 

I'm all up for Rodimus as well !!!

 

I'm glad this isn't Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy, as I prefer the G1 Black Prime recolors to be actually Optimus Prime.

The communicator pictures confirm this is one series of Convoy Black Drones created.

MP-1 - Starscream & Bumblebee
MP-2 - Convoy & Some Electronic Display
MP-4 - Grimlock & Megatron
MP-1B - Convoy & Rodimus Convoy

So Bumblebee & Rodimus Convoy are the only two we haven't had a MP of yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Hot Rodimus or Rodimus Convoy were next in line for the MP treatment. 2010 would be the perfect year in Japan too, because that's when Season 3 took place there.

Blah, boring repaint. Didn't buy Magnus, won't buy this one.

 

Can't wait for mine  

 

I'm sure reprolables is already working on a sticker set to turn this guy into nemy.


I know I have a big decepticon sticker that can easily go over the autobot molded one.


I look forward to mine.

Now if Fansproject would only make a MP city commander trailer upgrade set, I'd even buy the magnus.

 

Pretty good theory, and I'm all in favor of it. Especially if that meant we would get a masterpiece Galvatron in the future.

Black Prime doesnt interest me. The photos are nice though.

 

Why is this called "Black Convoy" and not "African-Japanese Optimus Prime?"

Seriously though, why is just called "convoy" and not actually named?

 

I'd love to have this piece, but with the lack of the Decep symbol and the price, I'm passing.

 

Exactly, It isn't that big a deal.

Because "Convoy" was what Optimus Prime's name was in Japan. It's always been Convoy for the Japanese releases of any Optimus toy.

 

Can't wait for MP-1B, as this will be my first Masterpiece figure. That is, if they dont realease Black Convoy before Christmas because that's when i'm getting MP-04. WHAAAT!!! Oh well, can't wait!!!

 

IF it was Nemesis Prime I would buy it, cause it's not. PASS!

 

Oh MP Black Convoy, I've created a new shelf just to accomodate you! These pictures don't do Black Convoy justice but I can see pass that. Everyone has a bad day, even a MP.

 

They don't even have to try anymore. Easy money from the fans.

 

"Anymore"? TakaraTomy has been doing black repaints all over the place since Beast Wars.
