Takara would like to welcome the world to the year 2010. They've updated their website with a new page featuring their campaign for this current year. One might wonder why this happens to be four months late, but when this signals such things as new toys the questions start to dissipate. The first figure meant to celebrate 2010, is a repaint of sorts. And why not repaint one of the greatest figures of all time, Masterpiece Optimus Prime!

The new figure just happens to be MP-4S Convoy Sleep Mode. This Masterpiece is meant to represent a deactivated Optimus Prime or Primus forbid, a dead Optimus Prime. Check out the figure below!

When the last thing you news before going to sleep at 5 AM is Convoy Sleep Mode, you know there's something up above trying to tell you something. This has just been one funny day!

It's not April 1st again is it?

[hinomars19]

though it is a nice idea, it's riding the back of the 'black convoy' ver. too close for comfort for me.

It seems the MP line could be dead and they are just trying to squeeze what they can from what they've got

It'd be a lot cooler if he was all smashed up.

Maybe they'll do a Sleepy MP Starscream? At least it wouldn't take up much space on a display shelf.

I concur It's interesting, but would be much more so with battle damage. I'm not talking about the Hasbro paint splashes and penciled in cracked windshields, let's see some real chunks torn out, especially in the mid-section since Prime was mercilessly pummled there in the movie.

What repaints are left of this mold now? They haven't done a clear one. Maybe a 'Rise from Grave' or 'Reanimation' version when brought back to life by the Quints? Or maybe a 'Supernova' version where he's about to crash into an exploding sun?

This does nothing for me and I'm quite glad. I need a bit of a break from figs with outrageous price tags.

I gotta agree here. Really, this isn't much to write home about without any sculpted battle damage. This is just "came late Black Convoy." Although it does look like it's coming with a completely unchanged trailer ... maybe so collectors will have some reason to buy it?

The only real reason I can see this being made is to hype up the 2010 connection to TF lore. That's waht this and Ghost Screamer have in common. Although I'd MUCH rather see a Galvatron (or even a Hot Rod / Rodimus) than these repaints I'll never buy.
