That's very possible. But I wonder if the manga would be either A) a retelling of the fight between Prme in his Black Body and Galvatron II, B) an original story taking place prior to that fight, or C) an original stroy taking place after that fight.Convotron wrote:I think that this could be like the Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version with respect to the fiction behind the character. Yoshioka Hidetsugu created the manga included with that figure just like he's taking care of the manga for MP-1B. Maybe this Convoy Black Version will also use a "Blackbody" coating for explaining the colour scheme.

Well, who says this is an evil Prime? It could still be Optimus. Not every black Prime is evil.ZenPrime wrote:Hmm....maybe some 3rd party can put out an upgrade kit with a shoulder cast with decepticon and/or upside down Autobot symbol, a sword and an extra cannon. I would buy that in a nanosec....

Exactly. The Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version was already mentioned in this thread, there's also the Nucleon Quest Super Convoy repaint of God Ginrai.

I didn't mean to imply that there was an insinuation that people should be forced to mod MP-01B, and I apologize for any misunderstanding.
It's just that from the first moment the news of this figure leaked, it seemed like half the people putting in their 2 cents were flustered because "Nemesis Prime" had Autobot symbols. The outrage! There seemed and still seems to be sentiment that having a black coloured Convoy/Optimus Prime is somehow wrong if it has Autobot symbols.
Now granted that the online vendors were labeling it "Nemesis Prime" so that is just cause for confusion but at the same time, there was no official statement of the figure's name. Also, the fact that manga is being included with this MP figure, which is drawn by the same artist who created the manga for Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version/THS-02B, may very well mean that this is not an evil Convoy/OP.
The fact that there is effort in including fiction with this MP figure may very well mean that this isn't a simple "black is bad" repaint. If it is officially Nemesis Prime then included fiction isn't necessary, though a very nice bonus for comic/manga lovers. At least that's how I'm rationalizing this latest news of the MP-01B. As much as I am a fan of evil Convoy/Optimus Prime, I'd like to own an MP sized equivalent to THS-02B.
ZenPrime wrote:Others are more than welcome to leave their's as they are, it will not bother me one bit their MP-01Bs are Black Convoys and not Evil/Nemesis Prime. I think it's perfectly fine to think of the figure as either, it's a matter of PERSONAL opinion.
