Universe/Classics unreleased Deluxe Convoy/Prime

I just got my copy of the new TF Generations Vol1. this Friday. My friend shipped it from Tokyo via EMS on wednesday. That is some impressive shipping!!!!

Anyway you guys are missing some vital imformation from the "First Look" thread
TF Generation 2009 vol.1 Released (first look)

after looking thru the book I found these pics in the middle of an interview with three Takara designers. I was able to decipher that this hardcopy is an unreleased Deluxe Convoy. Also if you play "Where's Waldo" you will see the actual Deluxe Prime off to the left, behind Henkei Megs.

Take a close look at the knees and head. the sculpt is very much like Voyager Prime/Convoy but it is definitively different. Plus the height difference is obvious. and NO it is not just a classics prime/convoy prototype.

That would have been cool. Would have made for some nice Pipes and Huffer kitbashes, imo. Too bad it was never released. Would be kinda cool if they retooled it a bit, made a set of armor to fit it, and produced it as a new Powermaster Prime. I can't be the only one who would like to see that.

Oh wow makes you wonder if at one time they planned for the classics line to be all deluxes.

Wasn't Prime originally prototyped smaller to make room for a trailer?

[sarcasm]Well I don't see anything wrong with the deluxe prime we got.[/sarcasm]

Thank god they scrapped the idea and gave us a Voyager instead. Just too bad that that's about the only example of them UPscaling a figure since they usually downscale everyone else.

Sorry to burst your little bubble but a measley 50 wouldnt cut it. This isnt a simple repaint where the machined mold already exists and cost oh starting around $10k for a small mold.

They need to sell hundreds of thousands of these things before it is even worth their time.

Granted there are exceptions. Such as ehobby's ability to make small numbers of TFs whose molds were not seen for decades. Like ratchet and ironhide were originally ehobby specials. we didnt see encore for like 5 years later.
