    Unfortunately no....Her majesty TT, hasnt seen it fit to grace us with retools/recolours for that line :( 

    He is an evil clone of Rodimus, born from his own doubts and psychological imbalance.

    I can understand the excitement over new figures, but the thread rules specifically say official only, or official mixed with non-official with the official as the focus.
    The KO Megatron breaks this rule.
    Sorry to be a sticker on this, but this is an appreciation thread for HasTak, not those that steal their designs.

    I like the chrome as well but I have to plead ignorance on the helmets. One is more rounded and one is more pointy. I like the rounded one myself. It looks more like I remember from the cartoon

    Indeed. Courtesy of Soundwave's Oblivion:

    MP-9B Black Rodimus Convoy (e-Hobby Long Bio)
    Function: Phantom Knight
    Motto: “Results alone are the benchmark of existence.”
    Profile:
    Black Rodimus Convoy began his existence as an illusory “doppelganger” that occasionally appeared before Rodimus Convoy. In becoming Supreme Commander at a young age, an enormous pressure was placed upon the still inexperienced Rodimus. Rodimus questioned whether he was really suited to be leader, and as his inner conflict went unnoticed by others, this heavy emotional stress gave birth to an opposing personality that eventually seemed to gain self-awareness. This formless mass of negative emotions drifted between this world and the next until it was latched onto by Starscream, who had been seeking an agent to carry out his revenge. Drawn by another internal voice, Rodimus remained in a dreamlike state as he was arrived at the ruins of a Destron mobile battlestation. Still in a daze, he was blanketed in a mysterious light. Then, after the bright flash subsided, Rodimus returned to his senses. From the pod before him emerged a pitch-black Hot Rodimus. Through the technology of the clone synthesizer, the “doppelganger” had at last acquired a fitting form.
    The black Hot Rodimus seized his chance during Rodimus Convoy’s confusion, ramming into him in car mode and managing to tear the Matrix from his chest, sealing it away in his own. As Rodimus Convoy’s form was reduced to that of Cybertron cavalier Hot Rodimus, the dark spectre standing before him grew into Black Rodimus Convoy. The being’s goal was to utterly control all Transformers, whether Cybertron or Destron, and to eventually dominate all life forms in the galaxy with its formidable might and iron rule. By achieving what none before had ever achieved, it would become a true leader and surpass the greatness of its predecessors. To Black Rodimus Convoy, this single pursuit was everything.
    Alone in these ruins with no allies to depend on, Hot Rodimus battled against “another self.”
    To attain a true identity, Black Rodimus Convoy battled against his “original self.”
    It was a battle for fate and future, yet known to no one.
    A duel to determine the mysteries of the past and the fate of the galaxy was silently waged…



    So it's actually possessed by the ghost of Starscream?? Pretty cool story, either way. And like @Dean ML says, totally 80s colours!

    Havent read anything in his bio to suggest Starscream had an involvement. So I dont know if there is another source partaking to it. This comes from his bio card correct?
    Such a good looking figure, so many problems. Shame....

    @Blazing Mewtwo you can continue posting those at the 3p forums. We can tell the difference in there from the start and even if we wont, we wont complain afterwards.

    Nice, dude! Shockwave especially is one of my favorites! Didn't know if you knew, but not only do Bluestreak's shoulder cannons extend, but they extend farther than most realize. It was our man @Sam that pointed this out to me a few months ago. Pull them out but when it feels like they're fully extended, pull again past a notch to get the last bit of extension. I'll try to take a shot this week if necessary...

    Nope, didn’t know that about the cannons-Blue is the one I’m always concerned about fiddling too hard with, as he feels more fragile than either of the ‘cons. I’ll have to try that out with the next round of photos, though.

    That Black Rodimus looks so good. Black Convoy (MP10B) is on Amazon JP for about 70 bucks plus shipping. Between Megs, Black Convoy and Supreme Commander Primal, it’s been a gloriously expensive weekend.
