He's already been re-decoed as Ultra Magnus, Nemisis Prime and Shattered Glass Prime.
I really can't think of a more perfect time for them to release a Nemesis Prime or Sleep Mode Voyager Prime instead of that crappy clear deluxe one.
Clear Hot Rod is cool though.

Fear not. TakaraTomy has already made their own variations of the Voyager figure aside from the standard Henkei version, such as:

Convoy Clear Version (A.K.A. "Crystal Convoy")

Lucky Draw Gold Convoy

Thanks Sabrblade.
I am familiar with both of those but was hoping for a real repaint for a figure that would be more widely available like Hasbro didso well with Magnus and later Nemesis.
The clear Convoy is only available for $200, wasn't really interested+ and the gold one is about as rare as an MISB Fortress Maximus.

I was hoping that they might give us Sleep Mode Prime (perfect timing) or give us this the guy they canceled for some reason.
You seem to be a man who knows the answers any idea why :-?
