    Yes! Finally my favorite evil prime is getting a release, we all new it was gonna be Galva Convoy, truly the most popular and only choice that could please all the fandom, a much more desirable character than Kup, Ironhide, Ratchet, Thunderclash, Energon Rodimus, Pinpointer, Dion, or even club original character Magnum.

    All kidding aside this doesn't look horrible, but it just doesn't fit in anywhere except a Botcon shelf.

    So yeah, why anyone would think this was going to be SG Prime's Unicron given update with Combiner Wars molds around the corner is beyond my understanding. :p

    I agree. Galva-Lio Convoy was a very safe choice for a custom figure. Less people would be upset that this is the custom class figure than an actual figure.

    I do want Rodimus and Kup though....but not as customization class figures.

    Is this guy up for sale? If so how much are they asking at the con? And, I'm looking for him if someone wants to part with him.

    My thing is
    A: How many times will they use this mold?
    B: When will this mold start showing degradation?

    Pre-assembled Galva Convoys (lacking paint and stickers, obviously) are being sold for $75 at the club store.

    Have these shipped out? I ordered this figure with the non-attending package but haven't received it yet. The non-attending box set arrived weeks ago.

    It’s probably a long shot to get a reply in this old thread but I’m looking to paint one of these. Any chance anyone has a manual and can post a photo or pass along the paint colors used? Even better if there’s a pic showing paint placement. Thanks in advance if so!
