Most people started wondering way back in 2005 when MP-01 was repainted as Ultra Magnus, “How long before they dish out a Black one?” Well, after 4 years, we know the answer is “soon!” With a MSRP of 10500 yen, and a pre-order price of 9950 yen, a Black repaint of the MP-01 mold can now be had. A nice little bonus is that this will come with a new comic by the tireless Hidetsugu Yoshioka. To view the pre-order page, head to e-Hobby’s site.

That would theoretically be impossible since it's an e-Hobby exclusive. Unless their is some Hong Kong release or something?

That is a huge pass.

If the dealers get this two months before the E-Hobby release, the toys must be straight from the factory
Robticon
Yep, which is exactly why I'm a bit confused, since orginally both TFSource and Big Bad Toy Store had the release date
in agreement with the release date shown on e-hobby (After January), but now they're saying this month, so…
Not sure what happened there… Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

He'd be purple, with dark gray and black, not the G1 Convoy Black / CR Black Convoy inspired color scheme this one has.

I can hardly wait to get this one! I hope they also come out with a "Nightwatch" version too.
Triggerhappy
maybe he's shattered glass?

This is my Christmas gift from my wife. I did see TFSource say late this year, but I'm not holding my breath.
Mechafire
Looks pretty nice.
PoweredConvoy
e-Hobby (the figure is an e-Hobby Exclusive) says January at the bottom of the page.

For some reason, TFSource is saying the estimated release date will be this or next month, and BBTS is saying the same, albeit 'Late November',
despite the fact that both said he wasn't comming out (Or, at least he wasn't going to be in-stock) untill next year.

Anyway, not sure if that's right, but if it means I get my Black Convoy a month or two sooner than I expected, then that's fine with me.

Animated movie battle-damage version.

January 2010.

I hope this come out soon.
Bgrngod
Yup. I was happy to see that.

I think it might just be the regular packaging…

Just as many Black Convoy/Prime figures are good as they are evil. Though all the good ones originate in Japan.

WANT! Even if I have to get the Con decal to replace the Bot one on the toy. Nemesis Prime should always be evil. I'll add this one to my Black/Nemesis Prime army. Still need the G1 Black OP and Powermaster Black Convoy though.
Optimus Scourge
I thought I saw it somewhere, perhaps not, I don't know.
Bgrngod
Where did we get proof that it's going to be in a window box? Is that just an assumption because it's from e-Hobby?
I'd prefer the normal MP black box.
