BADASS. I WANT.

That is badass, I may just have to get that hope it won't be too expensive.

BTW, the piece comes with a comic produced by Yoshioka Hidetsugu (吉岡英嗣)......
Releasing date is 2010 January.

I CAN'T WAIT, I MUST HAVE IT!!!

It looks amazing, but why does it still have an autobot symbol, couldn't they remold it into a decepticon symbol, or wasn't nemesis prime a decepticon? :S

other then that it looks amazing, i wonder if the stickers on the com links will be different

This is Black version Optimus Prime/Convoy. Not Nemesis Prime.

But just bloody no need to open a new mold for it, convenient sake.

While most black Prime releases in the west are Decepticons the tendency in Japan is for them to be Cybertrons. We have seen this previously with Jafcon Convoy, LD Black Fire Convoy, Nucleon Quest Prime (I think that one was called Prime rather than Convoy or Ginrae, could be wrong), THS-02B and the so far unproduced Wondefest Black Convoy, although Car Robots Black Convoy and the Nemesis version of Convoy from Micron Legend buck the trend.

I would have rather seen the symbol remoulded as well, it won't be easy to make look good with just the application of a sticker over the moulded Cybertron symbol.

ohh im half asleep, i thought it was nemesis prime, but i just re read it and it says it only pays homage to him, and thanks for the info on the japanese part, i don't really know much about the japanese side of transformers to be honest but i'm gonna start reading more about it on Tformers wiki to nerd up

History lessons on Black Primes in Japan aside, I do have a sneaking suspicion the fact it was easier to leave the Bot symbol and call it Black Optimus is in play.

I'm so getting this to go aloong with Skywarp. But this is giving me a godsend because I need a "Nemesis Prime" who turns from the Autobots to the Decepticons without actually changing his symbol. If any of you wanna hear my ideas, send me a private message or an email

Very nice. I wonder if it will be a "perfect" release with a trailer?

I was just thinking about a black MP Convoy a few weeks ago and now we have this. I should think about cool stuff more often, like maybe a real MP Ultra Magnus trailer (please, please, please!!!).

This piece looks really nice. Depending on the cost and when it's released I may bite. Might make a great Xmas gift.

Next up Convoy Ganguro Edition w/bad tan, knee-high socks, and a life philosophy which allows him to do anything in pursuit of a yen.

Nice...it would be nice if they would sell this Prime in Toys r Us or Wal-Mart !!! (I know fat chance as long as people keep swiping them debit cards !!!) But I lke him on the real !!!

Man, my wallet is getting hit hard but I must buy this! Thanks for posting the photos.

I've never bought any MPs before, but between this one and the new Skywarp I think I might have to start adding some to my collection.

Enter the 3rd party market, with a molded shoulder replacement..

yay. That will save me the trouble of trying to repaint my dvd prime into this like i have been planning for years.

now where is my bbts pre-order.

Whose picture shows up on his forearm screeen?

And Megatron rifle ...should be chrome...

Why don't you do that, can lightning be hitting the same spot twice? And if it does, you should be buying a lottery after that, hehe.

Anyhow, back on topic. It looks great but I'll skip it. Got the regular Prime and Magnus already for the same mold. But then again, if they do Shining Magnus count me in.

MINE!!!!!!! I WANT!!!!!

Damn! Wonder if there's any chance this thing will be reasonably affordable in the US?

Oh man that looks awesome!!! Will there ever be a day when I look in my wallet and I would see extra money again.
