e-hobby updated their website on MP1B again, this time we can expect how the MP1B Convoy Black Version will look like.

Meh, same old MP packaging. I just want the toy.

Sweet! that looks great! I'm glad it matches the other packaging. The boxes of the MP figures is one of my favorite things about the MP figures. I have the boxes displayed in my cubicle at work. Hell, I want to get MP-04 just for the box. I don't care about the trailer :grin:

I do have to wonder if it still says "More than meets teh Eye" on the box. that's so hilarious. and no, that's not a typo on my part. :grin:

Looks good to me!

Did anybody pre-order the MP-01B from a store that is offering the early November stock of this figure? I did from Robot Kingdom because of a cheaper price and November ETA but I'm thinking of cancelling and going with somewhere else because Automaton Toys confirmed that their suppliers for the November stock are not able to supply the e-Hobby manga booklet. However, AT is stating that if their supplier is able to provide the manga later on, they'll send a copy to any customers who ordered at least 1 MP-01B. That's an iffy if, though.

I still say they should give him MP Grimlock's sword, change his insignia and bring him here as MP Scourge/Nemesis Prime.

That'd be cool. Others have suggested 3rd party accessory sets to mod the figure too. I think one could possibly repaint the Autobot symbol purple and do something like give it a TAW-01B TAW God Sword - Classics Nemesis Version accessory, though this example is fairly expensive. It's pretty cool, though, for being a multi-part weapon accessory.

Nice!

Things I like about this one: Everything.

Things I hate about this one: I don't have it yet.

No further pics need Seibertron, I'm already sold. If Taky makes an official trailer for him that would be great. The one iGear is making looks horribly overscaled.

Then I feel like if I get this, I have to buy Ultra Magnus... And I'm not gonna lie all three would look very, very cool together, but we'll see. I still have to get Encore Bruticus and the possible Encore Devastator.

But yea, great figure, like the new edition to it and I generally get sour when I see repaint after repaint (Seekers don't count, love them)but this one strikes me in a the soft spot.

Pfffftt!! I could have photoshopped that myself!

At least Tak/Tomy did not just take the MP-01 box and slap a sticker on it.

Somehow if Hasbro pull something like this off, I wouldn't be surprised. :SMUG:

Just a tad smaller. With all of Unicron's kibble he ends up being alittle bulkier. I agree with the other guy, these MPs are just too good to pass up!

MP-01 is closer in size to one of the larger Leader classes than he is to Unicron or other Supremes. He's about an inch and a half taller than RotF Leader Prime, and a decent bit bulkier. Though NOT as bulky as GF/Cyb Leader Prime.
