Well with the exception of NQSC, those black Convoy-repaints were generally evil. Seems to me Flipsides works as a lovely plot device to allow collectors to have these guys work for whichever faction they want (Though I suspect that, officially, in the end the Destrons are gonna have an Evil-Convoy Army!)

Or something....

Hmm.. cant wait till i see a scan of the comic... on the flip side, i suppose having a small but kickass army of 21 "evil" convoy drones aint so bad. 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 didn't think it was hilarious, just an amusing probably-unintentional choice of words

Sue me for being amused

While the story will have no impact on my enjoyment of the toy, the use of Black Convoy as a drone ... 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.

Well Convoy did have a black paint job in the last part of this story, so maybe this version represents him (as well)?

I'm gonna have to agree with what you said. 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
