    I like that Blue Big Convoy refers to Big Convoy as Big Junior.

    I didn’t see a combo English/Japanese one with mine . Just that .
    ... tbf it’s not really a manga/ comic like with convobat and magnaconvoy ... it’s just one a4 size sheet .

    So it doesn’t come with more than a two page spread? That kinda sucks after Convobat and Magna Convoy...

    Yeah ... did they leave it out ? Just dug out all three of their stuff . Is it because he’s the cheapest out of the 3? 267301BD-6668-4E64-B2A2-25A75F47C043.jpeg

    Probably didn't come with an additional comic because he's a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive instead of an eHOBBY exclusive like the other two.

    Mine just dropped into my POL at BBTS. Debating whether to wait for some other items to come in or ship it out now.

    Yes, that’s the Legends Manga. It’s only two pages.

    It's interesting that in this manga Blue Big Convoy is a completely different character than the E-Hobby comic's Primus Vanguard Leader, especially since the online prequel comic for the toy was about the latter. This basically means that a brand-new toy represents two distinct characters. Perhaps they just didn't want to continue the E-Hobby storyline? (Which is fine with me; I'm not a fan of E-Hobby stories.)

    Also, it appears that the rank of Convoy was created in honor of Optimus Primal. I had always assumed it was in honor of Optimus Prime.

    Tried searching but didn't find a clear answer. Is there a Nemesis version re-issue coming?

    I opened my Blue Big Convoy up this weekend. It'd been a while since I transformed any version of this mold, so I'd forgotten how weird it was, yet also oddly fun. Mammoth hind legs kept popping off, but otherwise it wasn't bad for a shellformer, and my fourth version of this mold. My only irritation is the top missile in the cannon won't properly lock in; the spring keeps wanting to shoot it out so I have to use the buttflap to keep it in the cannon.

    The Nemesis Prime version was a Hasbro Target exclusive. There’s been no mention of it ever being reissued.
