Oh snap, with the as yet unannounced MP Mirage race car!! Good old Hess Trucks.

I've never heard of Hess Trucks before, had to look it up. Some gas station toy I guess, we don't have those in Maine. I do see the resemblance, though.

I promise to never waste my time sending you a pm again.

In this particular case your actions were justified.

I LOL'ed at this to my wife's annoyance while I read your post to hear while we are supposed to be watching Lion. Back to watching Lion. I have to put my laptop away because of all of the distracting comments.

Can't wait for 7-11 Ultra Magnus Convoy. It looks amazing and I'm thrilled it comes with the trailer.

I still say it's not Magnus without a car carrier trailer. Just a white Prime. Even though its predecessor was called Ultra Magnus and didn't even have a trailer.

Wouldn't be the first time an Ultra Magnus-styled redeco of Optimus Prime wasn't named "Ultra Magnus", blue mouthplate and all:

I know the STT Convoy one was a Chase piece, but was the Sports Label one an exclusive of some sort? Or just one of those special redecos they didn't bother making a special box for?

That's exactly what I was talking about. Just because it's "styled" like a certain character, doesn't mean it's that character, not until it is officially named as such. And besides, the only time Magnus appeared as a white Prime inside the armor was in DW's G1 story. Unless these releases are homages to the G1 figure?

Yeah, these generally are homages to the original figure. They've done it in Masterpiece, in Classics, in Henkei... even in RiD 2015. It's kind of just such a common thing that MP-22 and CW Magnus were huge surprises.

Thanks to 7net we get official images and designation along with price of Masterpiece MP-711 Convoy. MP-711 Convoy will run you 25,000 yen. The images show the robot and trailer along with the accessories which carry on the 7-Eleven green. The included Spike figure is also sporting a 7-Eleven uniform. The images also show the shoulder emblems to be stickers as you can choose between the 7-Eleven logo or the more traditional Autobot sign. Check out all the new images below.

MP-711, I see what they did there. Does this mean we'll get *counts* 671 more MP figures?

And is it just me, or is the blue clashing with all that green elsewhere? It sticks out quite a bit, and not really in a good way.

Agreed but do you keep it all white or make it green?

So it's officially called "Convoy" then, not "Magnus?"

Looks like it. Prime sells, baby

Welll.... Damn. It, technically, fits my collection criteria.

That price puts it in a "maybe" range for me. Most importantly it's nice to see Spike finally get a job!

My entire bookshelf of Prime toys can attest to that. But Bee may be taking over that distinction soon.

Also, technically I was right. MP-711 is not Magnus.

Teeechnically. But if it looks like a duck, if it sounds like a duck, if it acts like a duck...

So, it's Total Commander Convoy eh? Those bastards TTomy are still in denial to give me a proper MP 10 white Magnus after all these years. The ingredient to slap Prime name and it will sell well may work to the general public, well I ain't one of those folks. I maybe a sucker to a white Magnus or UMagnus figure, but for an official product, if his name isn't label as Ultra Magnus, he will not be welcome into my Magnus/UM collection. With that being said, a big pass to 711 Total Commander Convoy from me. Although I don't support KO TF, in this case I'm glad KO MP10U exists.

Now I'm beginning to hate OPrime. With all the rainbow colors that he had released, they couldn't reserved the white one with red eyes and blue faceplate for Ultra Magnus. And then there is Magnus Prime, another OPrime, unbelievable! Good grief, next thing you know they'll call MP22 as OPrime.

Let's see how he deals with it first

Good call on the optional stickers there, TakaraTomy.

Optimus Prime had Ultra Magnus's cab colors in the final issue of the insanely-surreal IDW Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comics.



The real Ultra Magnus is the armored guy Optimus is emerging from.

Yup -- which as I recall is the only fiction featuring Optimus using the white cab design.

And considering that it's one issue from foreign fiction vs. 31 years of precedent including multiple toys to the contrary and that the colours match up almost perfectly with MP-02 rather than the comic, I'm gonna say this is probably meant to be Magnus.

I don't understand this. You'd skip this simply because he's NOT NAMED Ultra Magnus? Even though he's exactly the white cab Magnus you want (minus the stickers)?

And I'll reiterate about the MP-10U KO, it is garbage. If you pay anything higher that 50 bucks (and you will) then you'll feel taken advantage of like I did.
