What I really was asking is how do we know that these drawing are of Ginrai and not Convoy?

Also, my instinct, was that this was detailing the takara release of Combiner Wars Optimus. This is entirely due to that shot of the truck's front with the different windows, drawn near the back of the cab. They look a lot like the chest of the Torso created using Combiner Wars Optimus. That would also explain the fact that he was several set of windows for transformation.

Because Yuki said so in his post.

落書き帳の中に、いくつかジンライを検討している物も残っていた。う～ん、当時から好きだったんだなぁ♪

Plus we'd need the obligatory Nucleon Quest and Fire Guts repaints.

Left: Blast Master (aka "Payload")
Right: Phaser

They each form one half of a Space Shuttle: Phaser is the front, Blast Master is the back.

Nice call. But I've never heard of a Phonics Nazi... Are you the first?

I don't really like to bandy the word "Nazi" around too casually. Still a lot of awful history attached to that word, especially for any people they persecuted.

Haven't you heard? Ginrai totally already exists, brah! Botcon 2014 fo life! Seriously though. I'd be all in. Also, for serious, I do very much enjoy the con figures this year.


He's a lot nicer in hand. The mock ups make him look kind of cruddy.

Forgot about his gallery to better show him off.

Would he incorporate the MP 10 cab into his chest? (IMAGINE!)

i think if they did (and its a big IF) that they would just make a new base OP. i think itd be to much work to engineer a PM trailer around the MP10 (and retooling of MP10 to boot), which was actually the case of MP22.

Not to mention that Ginrai's cab body is different from Optimus's.

Maybe including those sketched wasn't such a good idea after all...

Right, I got a dilemma: Swerve. The US version has Flanker, the Japanese has Phaser. As for Tailgate, the US version has flames (like the Prime version), while the Japanese version is all bare like the G1 original. I like extra deco (US Tailgate), and I like space craft (Japanese Phaser). Which to choose?

Maybe i am missing something but to get the most out of deco, how about getting takara awerve and us tailgate? I myself will just get rakara swerve so that phaser can go with payload.
