Coverage from the TakaraTomy Summer Exhibition including Alternity Megatron and Convoy Super Black takara_ph08
Robot Watch has full coverage of the recent TakaraTomy Summer Exhibition. On display were the next entries into the Alternity line - Megatron in both of his incarnations, and Convoy "Super Black" version, and all three look very sharp! Also on show was the Japanese version of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen poster, and some very cool wall scroll posters depicting Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Many other upcoming products, such as Ultimate Battlecharged Bumblebee and the voicechanger helmets, were also on show. Rounding out the coverage is a new image of the Robo-Q Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, though curiously camera shy in this new image - they've got their backs to the camera! Click on the link above to check out the Japanese language coverage or just look at the lovely pictures.

Omegus Prime:
Guess even near-omnipotent time traveling Transformers with the power to shoot you when you're born, die, and in the present at the same time aren't immune to repainting.
chuckcjc:
June for Black Convoy. Is Megatron still scheduled for May 30th?
Skylock:
That black convoy is really plane compared to the others. Blue Megs looks good.

Psh. They invented repainting. In the future.

A-02 Megatron has been delayed till mid June according to this month's Figure King magazine. The blue version will also now be called "Premium Le Mans Blue", as the color option is known in Japan instead of "Monterey Blue".
Blitz.:
cant wait for my blue megs.

I'm guessing that Black Convoy is missing some paint apps judging by the box art still having silver paint apps on the robot mode
Robogeek28:
Wow, those look pretty good!
Samus_Ng:
Black is beautiful, that black Convoy is AWESOME! One of the best!
cheetorBWORG:
Is that an Autobot symbol on Nemesis' "belt"? Are there any small reprolables? >.<
Optimus747:
Dang, I was hoping to have Alternity Megatron in before my brother's birthday in May...guess he'll have to get it a month late.

Ahh.....but then again is this Black Convoy an evil being?
Nerroth:
Paint the logo purple, and you have Shattered Glass Optimus Primal!


That blue Megs would really make a great Predacon Megatron, too. Yessss...

Inverting the insignia would be good enough for me, I can't look at the pic clearly but if that's what they'll do I'll be extra impressed!
LightningZERO:
The blue Megatron is looking better and better for me
Jarodimus:
Megatron is a mess. Especially his legs.

SmokescreenGT:
Blue Megs looks great. Glad I have him preordered.
SPLIT LIP:
I agree with whoever said those legs are terrible on Megs, then again I didn't like Alternity Convoy when I first saw him, either.
BustaJesse:
I actually really like the look of those Joe vehicles further down the page.
starscream1701:
I love my Alternity Red Convoy, but I won't be getting the Nemesis repaint. I am torn between the blue and silver Megatron, though...
cheetorBWORG:
The eyes are red on "Black Convoy". Cybertrons don't have red eyes. YET... Alternity BC has a Cybertron symbol. I just hope it's upside down too.
Powersa:
Black Convoy is good looking as always
Peaugh:
Take a closer look at that black convoy, especially the edges of the door in robot mode. That figure's been repainted to give you an idea of what BC will look like. Which explains why he's missing some paint apps and looks a little rough.
Autobot Burnout:
That Black Convoy looks awesome, and if that's the rough repaint, then imagine what the production model looks like!

On the other hand, Megatron just looks stupid. The alt mode is nice, I like the majority of the Transformation, but the utter lack of a Fusion cannon in favor of two mediveal-looking swords that don't match the look AT ALL just turns me off on that figure.
KING KONVOY:
nice
Solrac333:
Black Convoy is awesome but I already have the red one. If I had $$$ I'd get him too. I'll get Megatron instead.
Deceptigtar:
must have black alternity!!!!!
G1Wheeljack:
Black Convoy's an Autobot? Thought he'd be a con, but then again there have been a few black Prime repaints that are Autobots.

And a purple one, too.

All the more reason to consider him as a present-day Earth mode for a certain other Megatron, perhaps?

Lack of a Predacon emblem notwithstanding.
IronhidePrime:
Man I thought Megatron was going to be a darker grey
ersico:
so is it the same car mold and transformation as the silver and red convoys
faithingruden:
the chloro-q (?) bots look like all kinds of fun!! cant wait to see them in action!
BigRC83:
I hope Megatron and Convoy will not be the only Alternity releases.
Railguard:
It sucks that the alternity tf's are so expensive or else I might get one or two.
PyroniusRex:
Megatron looks lame.
Rijie78:
Alternity Megs looks great, definitely bought. And there was me thinking I'd be able to resist every other toy this year except MP Grimlock.

Movie Ultimate Bumblebee is always such a disappointment... the fact the chance wasn't taken to rework that mould into something more accurate and Masterpiece-y is a real shame. Of the myriad Movie 'Bee toys, surely that one was created with one eye on collectors/older buyers.
LightningZERO:
Why Alternity is always delayed?

That's not strictly true, the toy of Super / God Ginrai did have red eyes, amongst others.

Yep
aussieprime:
I am a huge Nissan fan and will be getting any and all versions of these, already have Convoy in red and silver with black and both Megs on pre-order.
My question is does anybody know where this line is heading....are there others in the pipeline and if so are they all going to be Nissan. (On the bottome of my red and silver boxes it says 'Nissan Offical Lincence Product'
Are we going to see a Micra Bumblebee, 200SX/Silvia Jazz, Ironhide Patrol or even a Soundwave Nissan UD Truck as a car carrier and Ravage & Laserbeak etc as the cars on the back !?!?!?!!?

I would think the reverse. With the electronic features and chunky parts, I'd think it was intended to be the big-ticket gift for kids to compete with things like Robosapien.

Kids get expensive toys, too.
Laser_Optimus:
Nice. Wonder if Black Convoy is going to be a Cybertron or a Destron? On one hand he does have a Cybertron symbol on him and most Takara Black Convoy's have been Cybertrons... and a few have also used the red Destron eye coloring instead of the blue Cybertron eye coloring. Either way he's mine.

Megatron... Megatron... well, he's just not Megatron to me. Other then the fact that he's being called Megatron I really like the figure. I'll just call him something else.

Said BEAUTIFULLY!

You can't go wrong on a Nemesis Prime wannabe!
primal-convoy:
If Fans Project were going to make a cannon arm accessory to that Alternity Megs, then I would have pre-ordered him, but as they didnt:

No Cannon - Not Megatron.

Simple, really.
on_a_warpath:
LOVING Black Convoy.
Cujo:
i.want.that.black.convoy.now!!!!!!!!
BlindWolf:
now i may have to pick up the sexy black convoy as my universe motormaster
Dran0n:
Awesome!
firebrand83:
Ok just preordered a carton of the black convoy
[Wing_Saber-X]:
Blue Alternity Megs AND Black Alternity Convoy are MINEEEEEEEEEE!!!
