It looks nice. Better than the Classics version, like always.

There seems to be many Black Convoys coming out this year...

Now with, MP-10B Black convoy. I see a Scourge Vibe in this... Another Asian Exclusive?

Wow, that Black Convoy looks awesome. Definitely hoping it's not an Asian exclusive... :S

Scourge!? It's Black Convoy (or Nemesis Prime, if you want ) It looks so dumb to name him that! Seriously? RID is starting to be over-used. And Armada, Energon and Cybertron? Those names and this so called Unicron Trilogy plot don't make any sense, unlike Car Robots (you could name it as Transformers: 2000 if you want), Micron Legend (or Mini-Con Legends, if you want), Super Link and Galaxy Force. And by the way, keep GL away from ML and SL! They don't make a good trilogy!

Scourge!? It's Black Convoy (or Nemesis Prime, if you want ) It looks so dumb to name him that!

But...his name in RID is Scourge. The only he's named Nemesis Prime in a show is in Armada and Prime.

Okay, the times he's named Nemesis Prime outnumber the times he's been named Scourge, but some prefer calling him Scourge, don't force people to call him Black Convoy (or Nemesis Prime).

Seriously? RID is starting to be over-used.

Hardly.

Well, I'll be darn! It looks like they did the smart move by making it a UNITED figure, and not trying to revive their Henkei! Henkei! line!

But seriously, though... I am going to pass simply because it is part of the UNITED line.

Im not sure I understand your logic. You base purchase decisions on silly Japanese names written on cardboard ???

But seriously, though... I am going to pass simply because it is part of the UNITED line. And even if it was not, I'd still have to pass on it. There is one Encore piece I now plan to seek for my Headmasters collection, and another I plan to preorder.

That, and I am seriously hoping that they are not going to abandon their Cybertron/Destron lineage.

What's wrong its being a United release?

[Banjo-Tron]

Because United is evidently not collectable enough for serious collectors for some reason Anyhoo, not that MP-10 mould has much to do with CHUG Magnus anyway, but yeah I would only consider the distinctively different-looking Laser Optimus Prime recolour and its recent homage as Scourge, I think in every other case Black Prime has been either Nemesis Prime, Black Convoy, or Eldedroid. Not that it really matters to argue about, I guess. Probably should just delete this and forget it, then, but I can't be bothered.

Anyone got Magnus in hand yet?

[Banjo-Tron]

So I got Magnus in hand today and I have to say he is superb. I will take some pictures tomorrow. Interestingly, he has a rubsign, which I was not expecting at all. I'm looking forward to dressing him up in his FP armour.

[Banjo-Tron]

I got impatient and grabbed the city commander armour and tried it on for size. It looks great. In robot mode the lower legs show through the outer blue leg armour and they are no longer the same colour. I actually think it looks really nice, though. Alt mode - It looks great with the trailer hitched to it - the all-white truck contrasts really nicely with the predominantly blue trailer. The wheels no longer match though as the trailer ones are gold and the truck ones are silver. Pics to follow

[Banjo-Tron]

Some pics.. I am very happy with the figure.
