Or something....

Heck, for the Cybertrons, they appear to be caught in a 'damned if they dont damned if they do' kind of scenario. Anyhoo-- cant wait to get at least two!  of this figure!! Black sexyness. Yumm  |

I don't know ... cheapens the name and the Optimus mold design. He doesn't seems powerful anymore; he's just another drone to be picked off like the Movie-verse drones.
I'd much rather Convoy be given some more significance. Every Black Convoy so far has fulfilled a role of importance. Multiplying him by 21 doesn't make him awesome; it just makes him expendable and regular.  VE Telus' Transformers Buy / Sell / Trade -- Click HERE! |

Having a bunch seems cool at first but then when you think about it, their significance is greatly lost. A lot of them will probably have to die Sig pictures are to be no larger than 40KB in file size and should be no larger than 300 pixels in height and 500 pixels wide - 2005 Staff |
