Lets move to the figure

I'm sure most of you are familiar with this toy so I will skip the articulation/Transformation details. However, the QC on this figure is outstanding, nothing is loose and all the paint applications seem to be correct.


This deco of Animated Optimus Prime has instantly jumped to the top of my favorite Black Convoy repaints. Whereas other Black Convoys have a touch of red, this figure has enough Red to really take it above and beyond what has been done in the past. The figure is mainly black (obviously) with red eyes, lights, and windshield. The other colors used on this figure are teal and silver.



Comparison shots with other Black Convoys. Masterpiece, Alternity, and G1.


In conclusion, its well worth the asking price of sub 200 . This item is not going to be as elusive as once believed so think twice before dropping 200+ on this figure. With that said, who knows what the asking price for this figure will be in the future so if you want one, get it now. I think Takara/Tomy plans to sell this figure at a few more events so you didn't miss out yet. If you really want one, they won't be that hard to find.

Photos with his mouth plate down

 

nice pics

 

Man, that thing is bad ass... Why must you tempt us like this? Lol. Now I don't just want this figure... But MP Black Convoy is looking rather delicious...

 

Lovely pics... Is there anywhere besides eBay where you can get this guy?

 

PM bodhar2000 if you want one but do it fast. I think the next event is right around the corner.

 

Is $150 a good price?

 

That is pretty good if you ask me. I paid 140 for mine shipped so 10 bucks more isn't bad at all.

 

Does his mask still drop? Can you get a picture of his face for us?

 

Updated with new pics

 

God that thing looks sexy. Wish I had the cash for one.

 

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

 

Something tells me you like black robots? LOL!
Nice little review. I'm not sure I'm keen on Animated TF's yet, but this guy does look awesome!

 

Hell yes. I can't wait for mine. That is a nice blk convoy. Its in the too three.

 

I ordered one from Hydra myself. You guys can email him, and he'll sell it for 145 shipped. Tell him I referred you!

 

The red windows on the chest look awesome. I love this mold and will definitely be picking it up with the black colors.

 

he looks bad ass with the plate down.

 

Thanks. He looks fantastic, though a bit too expensive for me.

 

Yeah, its not cheap but as a Black Convoy fan, I had to get it.
