Nah, hasbro only care about two anniversaries really (only recently adding Beast Wars reluctantly) that being G1 and the G1 movie
Too true. As the Prime fans have realised with the Legacy Line releases..

Black Convoy looks pretty good. I do like the colors on the mold, and I will get him. After I get him, I only need a UW Baldigus to complete the Car Robots/RiD2001 con crew.
I do respect those that wanted this to be accurate in terms of paint scheme. I can see the problem very clearly. While it doesn't upset me that much, I understand the annoyance. That's how I felt with Legacy Prime figures, and Car Robots fans are allowed to be frustrated here too

Indeed. It's really frustrating how pick-and-choose-y this Legacy line is being with what gets faithful designs (G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Cybertron) and what doesn't (TF: Prime and now Car Robots/RiD 2001).

I've seen this comment on here and on Twitter multiple times, and even once on Facebook. It is quite odd who is getting nigh perfect focus, and those that aren't. Something just feels weird there

It's a bit like someone behind the scenes is playing favourites

Optimus has clear headlights too, yet his shoulders are opaque.
That's cause the shoulders are painted. They didn't paint them on Nemesis, maybe cause the pink was too bright and wouldn't have worked with the paint to create a good colour. Or cause they used the paint budget elsewhere . But in any case, we do know why a clear part is used in the shoulders

I think they're looking at more recent G1 Nemesis Prime decos and applied it to this. Maybe for consistency? Because Nemesis Prime has had a consistent deco lately ... mainly since it's just been G1 Prime in black and grey.
I don't think I like it based on it's own merits. If the more accurate deco is sold sometime I guess I'll get that, but at these prices it's gonna have to be a pass.

I showed my wife the pictures. She thinks there is way too much pink. I agree. If this were REDit would be more appealing. Not saying it's that bad, but blood red would be much cooler.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

I'm pretty sure TJ Omega is right all the way about the recolors release pattern. Still, I much prefer Black Convoy over Scourge. I won't go out of my way to buy it, but if I come across it in store, I'll buy it. However, for a TOXITRON repaint....
Come see my latest creation, Death Hand, the actual transforming Transformers!

While I don't mind either way about the deco itself in general, I would preffer the Scourge deco over nenesis prime on this specific mold because ot has that cool effect of having new colours in robot mode and loses the pretense that the chest is the front if the cab like a G1 Optimus. It makes this design far more unique.

Meanwhile, from a media standpoint. At least Scourge/Black Convoy has been an actual character onscreen. You would have thought that extra recognition would have worked in his favour. Which it likely would have, if he were G1.
My plan is to pick this up and then get the inevitable Toyhax label sheet. I love the grey/teal of Scourge but also really like the bright clear pink, including on the shoulders.
I probably won't actually apply the Toyhax stickers, so this might be a bad plan, but I think labels for the chest and shoulders are all he really needs.

I currently have more Galvatrons than even Ultra Magnuses from WFC/Legacy. But Magnus will have his revenge in the end since I'm getting two SG versions.

Speaking of which, some us Marvel G1 fans would LOVE figures of those 3.
And FYI Hasbro got me twice with both Galvatron and Ultra Magnus.

I wouldn't mind them even though they aren't "Transformers."

Yeah, but they would go well with WFC Unicron. Again, if you're a Marvel G1 fan. Anyone else probably doesn't even know what we're talking about.
