Takara-tomy have updated their website with a couple of new pages for their upcoming special releases. On the exclusive toys front, they have added a page for the E-Hobby exclusive Masterpiece Black Rodimus Convoy, complete with new images including a huge one showcasing all the features and gimmicks. Check out the new images, they show off the mold at its best.
On the Encore front, a page has also opened for Encore Devastator, though these images are the same ones we have seen before. They’re still using placeholder images, based on a 1985 catalog prototype, so the final version will be a little different from what you’re seeing here.

I do like that eHobby MP Rodimus, it's got something about it. Hmmm… I may pick up a version of this MP after all…

The more pictures I see the more I like.. Still won't be getting him though, already have the takara release and buying this guy along with some of the others I want would really just bleed my bank account dry.

It looks like xibit stole the winnebago and pimped it. Pop your collar and let's go for a ride.

How can I possibly buy Black Rod AND TWO 3rd party Devastators? I am but one man.
…At least DotM toys aren't sucking money out of me.

I'm even more sad that this mold is too expensive for me, than I was already because I can't afford the original Takara Rodimus. But this? It's 100x better!
If it was cheaper, I would have bought both, but now? I'm double sad
I wish Classics Rodimus gets a new toy somewhere in the near future in the generations line or something and maybe then he'll get a Black Rodimus repaint in those colors as well.
Please Takara and Hasbro, think of us poor fans!

This. That alt mode (winnebago) is pure sex…and that is a term I usually don't use for TFs very often, if at all. Absolutely stunning.

Black Rodimus is so gorgeous. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

This may be sacrilege, but the more pics I see of Black Rodimus the more I want to re-sticker mine into a G2 Rodimus when he arrives.

That BLACK RODIMUS is so amazing I'm actually taking on extra work on my days off to get the cash to buy him
Nevermore
That photo presumably depicts an ooooooold prototype that is not representative of the final toy.
EDIT: It's the 1985 Hasbro Transformers catalog Devastator prototype with black forearms, silver Mixmaster cement drum and lacking missiles on the hip connector piece.
Just before anyone wonders whether they "changed Devastator" for Encore. The toy, and probably the photo too, predates the 1985 release.
