The Japanese are huge on transparent and gold repaints. While here in North america, our exclusives are thorough repaints, over in Japan/Asia, it usually like what we see here.

And do you really like it? I'm not a fan of the transparency and the gold repainting is just a little too shiny for me.

Well, we did get Classics Magnus while they didn't. Out of all the recent white-paint Magnuses, I actually like the Classics one the best.

Anyhow, this figure is pretty cool and so is the mold. Although his large rifle ought to have been clear too. It looks nice in rifle mode, but kinda dumb in vehicle mode.

Hey thats heerotoymaker!
hes the guy who made and/or sold all those neat KO WST seekers and primes.
Looks like hes making custom classics now.
I hope he makes a blue prime for my powered commander.

I don't mind the crystal clear, as it gives the figure a very Ghost Convoy feel, for want of a better way to describe it. The gold, however, kinda kills it for me. Like Blurrz said, it's too shiny.

Could be the intent here, I suppose, but I still think of this one as Ghost Convoy.

while i do think it would be annoying if all we got was clear and gold repaints, i do think a few would be awesome, and this one is by far one of the coolest (in my opinion) granted the gold rifle does look a little silly in vehicle mode i would still love to get my hands on one of these.

Edit: you know. come to think of it. i always thought that rifle looked funny in vehicle mode anyways so its not that different actually!


so... i'm still confused on the classics line. when was it (if ever) relesased in america?

Classics was released in '06. I believe it was after Energon, and during the Cybertron line as well.

A 2nd Classics line/sequel was in '09, with the tag line of 'Universe'.

Ah i see. so the original mold for this optimus was back in 06?

I never realized that classic and universe were the same. thank you very much

Thats badass. Needs to lose the gold parts though. The entire thing should be clear. Why doesnt hasbro ever give us cool stuff like this. They love repaints and all. Oh wait they only like repainting Prime into magnus thats right. I dont know why but i like clear figures.

That may well be the most confused Transformer I've ever seen.

"Well, I wanted a stealth mode that wouldn't hide my bling..."

Horrid, simply horrid.

I don't know what that is, how to get it, or where it'll go in my collection, but I want it.

If I win it, can I trade it to you for 1 max level character on Heavy Metal Wars v 2? ;-)

The gold looks really off on that.

This figure should either be totally crystal clear or totally gold. but i like it anyway.

So, uh... what will be this ones name? "Diamond Ring" Convoy?

Posted by T-Macksimus on May 10th, 2009 @ 10:33am CDT
Would have been a nice piece to compliment the limited edition clear Mirage if it weren't for the gold.
I could have tolerated the gold if they had instead put it on the other crystal convoy (with the red tinted see through parts) and made this one completely transparent. Hell, I could even have allowed black tires to slide on this if the rest of it had been see through but the gold just kills the effect, at least in truck mode. I don't mind it so much in bot mode once I mentally take the "stealth" mindset out of the equation but I think for either mode that chrome would have been a better choice. It's still one of my favorite molds, however, and nothing short of an all pink paint-job would trun me off of it completely. (Has/Tak...don't even THINK about it! :-x )

I'm telling you guys, Indiana Prime and the Kingdom of the Crystal Convoy is Takara's next big project. This is obviously a preview figure.

Ghost Convoy with his hideous bling. He'd be pretty cool without all that gold. Not for me.

This clear thing is going overboard. its cool, but its not a buy. I'm not saying its bad because it is badass, I'm just not feeling the clear anymore
Re: Crystal Clear Classics Optimus Prime with Gold Accessories (919926)
Posted by Scaleface on May 11th, 2009 @ 9:03am CDT
This guy seems to sell a lot of custom clear and chromed guys. Perhaps he works at a factory or something, because he seems to have access to molds (to make the crystals). He also sells ones that may just be Chromed toys. Check this out too.

I also saw chromed WST seekers, glow in the dark toys, even chrome Animated activators.

Posted by Chaoslock on May 11th, 2009 @ 9:52am CDT
I wonder if he could make a purely crystal version...
Re: Crystal Clear Classics Optimus Prime with Gold Accessories (919949)
Posted by SJ21 on May 11th, 2009 @ 10:05am CDT
That thing should look completely hideous to me. But something about the gold with the clear figure just looks cool. If I bought exclusives like this, I might consider buying it.
Re: Crystal Clear Classics Optimus Prime with Gold Accessories (920049)
Posted by T-Macksimus on May 11th, 2009 @ 2:32pm CDT
That all chrome version I would totally go for. Likewise an all Crystal version would be a win with me.
That clear with gold accents mix however is just totally not appealing to me at all. Red, silver and gold done the right way, however, is an awsome mix (I've done it before on an old Robotech Orguss figure. Came out sweet) and I think it could be done on this particular mold so long as the crystal aspect was taken out of the equation. The transparent red version of this mold might even look good with chrome accents but not the gold and I'm not even certain the chrome would work well with the see thru aspect. I think it's just that the two mediums, transparent and metallic, simply should never mix.

I think I just made a mess in my nerd pants :-B WOW!

He must work in a factory, those are some of the best "lunch time specials" I've seen in a while.

Oh and Classics was out in 06/07 right towards the end of Cybertron, was meant to be filler between Cybertron and the Movie line
