Or 20th Prime, I'm looking for prototype pictures of these guys. This thread got deleted so I'm doing it again, no one replied last time, hopefully someone will PLEASE post a pic of MP Convoy/Prime in grey prototype glory?

Well, I posted a few links to pics earlier, but here goes again...

Uh, here's the page I found with a partially-painted prototype (Comparing our 20th Ann. Prime with a proto)
http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/Masterpiece/Prime/MPOP.asp

But unfortunately, I can't seem to find the link to the upainted prototype... Sorry...

that looks like its totally unpainted. the colored pieces are just red or blue plastic. either way, thats really interesting. i always wondered about the prototype of this toy.

yeah the original thread is lost forever and I didn't get to check it so I started it again.

I found a picture of a completely unpainted, all gray, prototype mp convoy but it was a thumbnail image to more pics to a site that no longer exists. So I know the pics are out there I just gotta find them.

I'm not sure this is the one you are looking for, but scroll down to section R-13:

I believe those prototype pics were from the convention. I don't recall.

the ultra magnus trailer/armor is very interesting. not perfect but if some guy can do it, takara certainly can...

No problem, Taco, glad you found what you are looking for.

As for Syclone, yeah, I'm praying that Takara releases a transformable trailer for MP-2. Hopefully, Japanese fans make enough noise in Japan so takara could release the trailer. Like they say, if the demand is high enough, the supplyer will come by itself.

Gosh I never seen MP Ultra Magnus, he's pretty awsome. I almost want one, but I'll feel riped off because it's just a white repaint. He's nice looking thoug.

i agree it does look nice. trailer/armor aside, they did a fine job with it.

its funny though, the more i started to look at it the more i started to want it and then i hit this weird peak where now every time i look at it, i want it less.

but no doubt its a great looking figure. if it just had a little more to offer other than a blander paint job than the prime i already have (like armor to make it ULTRA) i'd probably own it by now.
