Official Takara Tomy Legends Black Convoy And Armada Megatron Images

I am so getting that Black Convoy if there's a chance.

Maybe now maketoys will finally make a trailer for scourge for those who dont want to buy their take on the figure.

But Takara's Armada Megatron, however, is a little better looking than Hasbro's.

I was almost going to accuse you of fan-boy cronyism but I went to look at both of them and yeah, I think you're right. The more purple and details in the face really bring out the different look.

Personally, I really like my Armada Megatron. In Fact, he inspired me to watch a few Armada episodes...which I didn't like that much. but I don't think I'll double-dip though. However, I wonder why they didnt do an orange stripe on the horns? That seems like a detail Takara would be all about.

TFCC did Scourge better. BC here is missing his upside down G2 bot symbol!

For those saying that the US version is better:

Yeah, kinda liking Takaras. Also, I'll have an easier time getting this one.

You sure about that? Black Convoy will be an on-show exclusives (like SDCC exclusives are) while Scourge is a TFSS figure. Which one is more rare?

Black Convoy is more accurate to the source material with the added striping, aside, but the TFSS version should be easier to get.

Fun Pub's Scourge has the more show-accurate shoulder paint:



Takara's Black Convoy seems to instead just have solid gray (or bizarrely gray and silver) shoulders instead of gray and black.

I will admit that Takara's has the extra stripes on the side of the truck mode, but it's not a major loss. Nor are the Combatron symbols on his shoulder that much of a bonus since the guy never had those on him outside of scenes toward the end of the series where he was trying to control Fort Max/Brave Max.

And the bright neon teal of Scourge seems to stand out a lot more than the more muted teal on Black Convoy. In fact, while it could just be the image, all of the colors on Black Convoy seem more muted compared to Scourge's colors.

I never actually got this deluxe mold for optimus prime, so getting Black Convoy would be a TREAT!

Btw I just started collecting like a year ago so I have HUNDREDS OF FIGURES TO GET! SO DON"T JUDGE ME FOR NOT HAVING THIS MOLD YET! >:(

That's good if neither are going to be very expensive

I'm kinda OK with the Takara version, as it'll be cheaper for me to import here than the club version, and I like the extra red accents around the shoulders
