Optimus the pen? We need a Megatron pencil sharpener and a Metroplex pencil case to store them in! Any others?

So Megatron gets a Mega Drive mode and Prime gets a pen??

Super Megatron wrote:This must be a late April Fool's Day joke - it looks like crap. Robot mode is okay, but wow, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. The reason why they made this "pen" transform into Optimus is because the CEOs know there is a cult/religion out there that is dedicated to buying anything that is Optimus Prime.

Easy pass.

I'm guessing Takaras designers are bored silly twiddling their thumbs as Hasbro seem to be taking the lead in the design of the movie stuff (going by the official behind the scenes with the designers vids) so this is the random stuff they are doing.
I too would much rather see all the effort it takes to be put to something more worth the time and money, instead of something like this.

The concept is so ridiculous, it's awesome. Seriously, if this was to be released in the States, I'd totally but like five of them. Pens are my signature carry-around object, anyway.

BBTS has this up for preorder:

Optimus Prime/Convoy: $54.99

Black Convoy: $54.99

That's a little too rich for my blood...

It's interesting that these pens are being sold under the name "Convoy" instead of "Optimus Prime" since Takara adopted the Hasbro names for everything except Masterpiece and Encore these days.

I have a pre-order in but I'll have to see more of the pen before I decide.

I prefer "Convoy" where possible, Optimus Prime tends to be too much of a mouthful at times.

Yeah, this is a cool looking bot, but for those prices I don't think they're that cool

Thanks to the Supreme Mecha Blog we have a nice clear image of the recently revealed Sentinel Optimus Prime transforming pen. While the pen mode looks rather awkward it has a surprising nice and very poseable robot mode. Check out the new mirrored below:

Missed opportunity for a Sentinel Prime version called Pentinel Prime.

I really dig the bot mode on this, but its a bit pricier than I had expected. Very cool looking though.

Forget the blurry prototype scans, here they are in glorious color! Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime, AND Ultra Magnus. Ordered my set.

Check out the images mirrored below.

Update from our friends at Hobby Link Japan, the Ultra Magnus version will be their own exclusive.

Naturally, Black Convoy looks the coolest of the three.

by **BumbleDouche** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 7:32 pm

And I thought ordinary pens were uncomfortable to write with after an hour or so... This thing must be torture after ten minutes. Would anyone actually use this for writing?
