    Yes, that's why I expected they'd be class only, but was waiting to hear confirmation for this year.

    I'd buy it if not for the fact custom class figures are usually redonk price.

    Not really anymore. You can buy it unpainted just like any other exclusive nowadays.

    A few years ago, the only way to get it was to get in the class though.

    yup 75 bucks at registration gets you one. Also probably some left over at the store for people to buy this weekend. Primal prime sold out pretty fast though...

    I wanna get it but I do agree; it's the perfect figure for the custom class. It's the exact opposite of G2 Sideswipe who was a terrible idea for a custom class figure.
    Aww man; now I'm bummed at my lack of a flag pole.

    I have to say for a custom class toy....he's really nice. This is the kind of custom class that won't get people upset over it like G2 Sideswipe.

    The Covenant of Primus....oh yes. I'd like one please.

    Ah, man! I'd love to get that BW-style Covenant of Primus. But I know the pre-assembled version probably doesn't include that. :(

    Or Nova Prime upgraded to Nemesis Prime if you'd like. Just change the Maximal insignia.

    When you make a new head sculpt for Lio Convoy, the obvious idea for a repaint is to look at what the original Lio Convoy was repainted into.

    Given there actually is a Black Lio Convoy already with the traditional "Nemesis"/Black Convoy colors, that's an unnecessary reach and doesn't make sense anyways.

    It's just Galva-Lio Convoy. You like it or you don't.

    I'm glad it exists, though like Blastcharge, it's not something I'll enjoy painting, assuming it is made available outside of the custom class.

    They would have wanted to use their new head a third time which wouldn't suit Kup. Think of someone else.

    I've always thought the mold would make a great Targetmaster Crosshairs...but the red and blue are probably too close to the original colors to make it a worthwhile exclusive
