Well as Steal Your Goats put it, there could still be a toy it just wouldnt be linked to these comics.
There is still 0 evidence it's happening though, so it's just wishful thinking at this point.
Hasbro's lio is fine. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and I can't stop playing with him.
The Platinum Liokaiser is pretty great.
But, if there's currently no evidence of a UW Liokaiser, it must be true that there won't be. After all, we had zero evidence of a new gun mode MP Megatron, or a CW Computron, or a Deluxe class figure for Groove, Wildrider or Slingshot in CW, or so many other figures that we absolutely, positively never, ever got or will ever get. So obviously, ' no evidence right now ' clearly means that something will never, ever happen. Ever.
No one ever said it would never happen ever. But if it does happen, it wont be an answer to Hasbro's like all the others were. I think thats an important distinction. its like when Universe Silverbolt came out and someone might have said "I will wait for takara's combining Silverbolt". It happened, 10 years later or so, but it wasnt in response to Universe silverbolt. We will get a better Liokaiser some day for sure, just like we got a better Gun Megatron. but I dont see it as a continuation of the UW line being compatible with the other CW toys.
And CW Computron was rumoured from even before we had Devastator confirmed.

In fact, the design of said coffin looks oddly familiar to me, but looking over other Transformer funerary practices from past fiction, I can't figure out where I've seen that TV coffin design before.
I looked through the story pages, but I don't see the coffin in them.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Looks to be a coffin to me.fenrir72 wrote:Based on previous translations, Convoy is going back to the Matrix as Oracle's power can only sustain Convoy for only a short time.

You so morbid , I used the term CR because at the rate Convoy keeps on getting resurrected that term "coffin" isn't relevant anymore. Anyway, look for those manga/ magazine shorts where Convoy's body was stolen by the bad guys.
My reference is the original JP TF Generations mook.

As I understand it, it's basically Sakamoto's sandbox and we all get to look inside, with Takara Tomy letting us look so we'll buy their toys. As I also understand it, Sakamoto would take us all to school on the ins, outs, and way-outs (remember when a prototype design showed up on Deathsaurus' Warworld in MTMTE 39?) of Japanese G1.fenrir72 wrote:
So really, the time stream indeed was not disturbed and the chain of events we have seen won't affect Convoy's eventual resurrection as Star Convoy.
This must have been one editorial headache and I give kuddos to the people behind this.

I just figured it was a nod to e-hobby Galvatron II coming with that green matrix.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:

I thought so. But then I went and re-watched his funeral scene, and the coffin he was buried in was more oval-shaped and had a completely transparent (glass?) cover.Black Hat wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Looks to be a coffin to me.fenrir72 wrote:Based on previous translations, Convoy is going back to the Matrix as Oracle's power can only sustain Convoy for only a short time.

Wasn't Ultra Magnus buried in a similar coffin in the Headmasters?
I don't have that mook. I gave you a link to what I have access to. There's no black and white art in any of those story pages.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I looked through the story pages, but I don't see the coffin in them.
I call it a half covered CR chamber Take a look again in the near back pages. It isn't colored but black and white art and in somewhat smaller panels. It's in the first edition TF Generation mook.
Update: It's in page 123 Studio OX line art. And a couple of scenes with the Battlestars.
Pretty much, yeah. Whatever in-fiction reason there is for it will hopefully be clarified once Sanchimaru and Jalaguy get their English translation complete.ScottyP wrote:I just figured it was a nod to e-hobby Galvatron II coming with that green matrix.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:

Ah, I see now. I overlooked the previous page appearance of Convoy Grand Prime and misinterpreted the panel on the next page of his de-combining as instead being his combining sequence, and thinking that Roller intercepted the combination to replace Ironhide as the right arm.Insurgent wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But... you can see the other three limbs attaching in the combination sequence beforehand.

Looks to me like they combine like norma and ride into battle riding Lynxmaster (awesome!). Unicron blasts them all apart with eye beams, and Roller comes in to form an arm and it's just Optimus torso mode and Roller arm mode flying up and punch Unicron in the face. All his other imbs are mising in those panels.

The Zodiac inclusion is a foreshadowing to both the Zone and Return of Convoy series, as this story is set before both of those. The Look of the Zodiac comes from the Zone episode, while the notion of using it to revive Optimus refers to how Optimus is later revived as Star Convoy through use of the Zodiac.Albatross250 wrote:Is Hinting us a possible Dai Atlas Retool? (Zodiac probably, since Scourge stole the zodiac during Blaster's chapter)
Sad that the Unite Warriors chapter has ended

I also double-checked God Ginrai's death in Victory, and the thing he was put into wasn't a match either.I don't have that mook. I gave you a link to what I have access to.
