In Hand Images - Transformers Masterpiece MP-38+ Burning Convoy

Trukk not munky... at least, not red neon ones. An easy pass.

He’s looking pretty awesome in my opinion. I sincerely can’t wait to pick this guy at some point soon,

Makes me hungry for cherry flavored candy...

I cannot wait either! Hopefully he comes in stock soon. i'll hopefully ship him out in April

WOW! What an eyesore! lol

So, quite unexpectedly I had a delivery today. Alongside a bonus, random pin:







...for some reason.

I haven't had a chance to open him yet, it's been one of those days. But that begins and ends my personal purchases until Scorponok and MP Tigatron, later this year.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing pictures of him!

Finally got him out of the box, so let's talk about Burning Convoy.
He is exactly as sturdy and well built as the original MP Optimus Primal. Hardly a surprise, given he is a redeco. I'd forgotten how easy the transformation is, in comparison to the more complex of this line (Dinobot and Megatron). Although I was a little rusty early on, a little applied logic will see him into Bot Mode before you know it. Yes, of course the first thing I did in this form was remove the ridiculous 'Gold Lips' face. Much like Shadow Panther, I think Burning looks better with his unique face plate, as opposed to a recoloured one based on the original figure.

So lets get to the elephant in the room: The Clear Plastic. To HasTak's credit, the clear plastic is mostly cosmetic. The structural joints of the figure are in fact, regular plastic. Which is a relief, given the clear stuff is notorious for cracking if you even look at it wrong. Knees and elbows, where there is clear plastic, are also supported so they don't bare all of the weight and tension of the screws.

Ultimately, he is just Red Primal. More of the same and I think it is a testament to the strength of the MP-32 mold, that he is still inarguably the most solid of the MP Beast Wars line to date. 8.5/10

I'd say he's definitely a Super Simian.

Indeed.



We do still have a couple more potential variants, should Takara choose to go down that route. But, considering the Season One line is supposedly only Fourteen characters long, I hope they leave this mold be, for now. Inclusive of Tigatron, we currently have nine BW MP figures. Three of them are Primal and two are Cheetor.

Very nice! I'm eager to get him.

TFsource is taking their time with multiple items that others already have and have had, it's getting a bit annoying

Blazing Convoy!!!



Yeah, this is a great mold, and worth the pickup. I can't wait to mess around with him more

"Burning", actually.

Oh i know, but i love using Blazing in there too

this seriously is such a great mold. I am extremely happy i finally got it in some form. Now for him to face off against MP Megs! And also figure out how to get him and Tigatron into the Beast shelf

Well it is the original BW Tigatron, but that theme is very true!

The Burning version looks pretty badass
