atmos MP-10 Convoy at Wonder Festival 2020 plus Earthrise and Seacons displays

Posted by Emerje Feb 9, 2020 at 12:14am CST 48,929 views
It was this time last year at Wonder Festival 2019 [Winter] that Takara Tomy revealed their intentions to release repaints of MP-10 Convoy/Optimus prime based on Nike Air Max shoes designed by Japanese designer atmos. A year later we have what may be the final design for the "duck camo" version that mixes camouflage and blaze orange. Changes are fairly minor from the original prototype, the weapons are now orange instead of brown and the truck stripe is now camo. The orange is a lot paler than on the shoe so hopefully there's still some room for improvement. Images come via Dengeki Hobby.

Meanwhile at WonFes 2020 we also got to see a full Selects Seacons set on display. This is likely all final retail figures since the final set is due for release in Japan in March. Interestingly they've included Lio Convoy in the display, perhaps foreshadowing the coming of a certain other king of the ocean from his time? Photos also come via Dengeki Hobby. Interestingly the display points out quite prominently that Selects is a joint venture between Takara Tomy and Hasbro rather than the two companies doing their own things separately under the same logo as we previously thought. It seems Hasbro may have had some involvement in the Seacons' and Star Convoy's creation after all.

And finally, we little fanfare, was a display for Japan's wave 1 of Earthrise plus Omega Supreme. Comparing the displays and how little of ER will be sold at retail it would seem like Takara Tomy has much bigger plans for Studio Series in 2020. Image comes via @is42731 on Twitter.

Those MP-10 variants are getting stranger as time goes by, this could almost be repurposed as Toxitron.

Love the Seacons set, I'd really like to see God Neptune, whose colours are definitely more elegant. I wonder if the missing G1 Seacon would be included, repainted and named for the occasion.

I can't decide which is more awful looking: the shoe, or the same color scheme on Optimus. :-?

Right there with you, D-Max. I’m also very much into the asymmetrical deco. The colors are very close to Roadbuster’s, and it works for me.

I'd be on board with atmos Convoy if two things were changed. 1) Brighter orange, it's too dull. And 2) Add some white, the shoe has a ton of it and there isn't a bit of it on the figure.

They also missed the opportunity to slap some tampographs on his feet to make it look like he's wearing the shoes. Robots have worn Nikes in Japan so why not Transformers?

Well, all I can say about that Atmos Prime is that it does match the shoes, and that head sculpt for Tigatron is Just awesome.

Guess or actual estimate? Either way, it'd be great to get two new MP BW figures!

Well, we got two in 2019. Megatron about in first half, and Blackarachnia in late second half. Based on that, I'd imagine it would be similar this year, with Rattrap coming in at the end.

Patience my friend, there's still another Toy Fair this month ;) I'd imagine Blitzwing would be one of the ones that Hasbro would want to keep for themselves to reveal.
