to justify the use of a 11 year old toy perhaps?

It's Classics Prime; he's freakin' awesome! He's the last thing you need to justify.
Though talking of freakin' awesome, while I don't get it, I DO love that he comes with that sword. It looks so great.
Mindwipe weapon though, ehhh... okay then...

Can anyone explain the relation between this toy and the cab component of Delta magnus (if there is one) please?

Pretty sure this is a Powered Convoy homage, not Magna Convoy...

I'm actually surprised that Ehobby managed to use Classics Prime for Armada Prime. It looks great in all honesty.
Interesting how the price is equal to most Platinum Edition figures....

The Mindwipe shield is strange considering the top of the truck makes a better looking larger shield in the same way. Maybe it only works for the botcon version though. In that case I would've used that version. Maybe I'm biased though because I think that Mindwipe shield is one of the worst accessories we've ever gotten. I was going to just leave it in the package before I realized it forms the tail of the bat.

Why wasn't this posted in the "e-HOBBY's up to something" thread that was created for what their next TF project was?

Erm... Classics OP, not Armada. Also, the shield looks like it's trying to be a gun.... maybe?

He knows that. He is talking about the old Magna Convoy who was made from Armada Prime.

This toy's deco is a clear homage to Diaclone Powered Convoy's truck cab robot mode.

"Magna Convoy" was the name of Armada Optimus when he was combined with Overload.Deadput wrote:Nexus Knight wrote:william-james88 wrote:blue redeco of the Armada Optimus Prime cab

I know the name was the combined form that's why I said "made from"
The deco was an obvious homage to diaclone too.

I like it, it's neat, I'll buy it, but... I gotta say I'm let down. Using this old mold when there's a plethora of brand new Headmasters to choose from is just irritating. Especially when they could have EASILY followed the brilliant Convobat with a proper Megagator.

You know what's especially sad? This figure is the only way to Convobat's beast mode butt.

Huh I guess Takara knew we wouldn't buy Magna without a good reason to.
Then again I don't even use Mindwipe's tail in bat mode since it doesn't stay in due to it being loose.

Ok, just to clear up some confusion:
1) "Magna Convoy" is simply the combined name of "Convoy" and "Ultra Magnus". In this case, it fits, as it's an homage to the cab of Diaclone Powered Convoy, which was homaged earlier with "Ultra Magnus Movie Preview version" (missing the wheels in the chest plate and Powered Buggy). If Convobat is any indication, he's yet another clone of our beloved Prime.
2) The name was used before during Micron Legends, as the combined form of Convoy (Optimus Prime) and Ultra Magnus (Overload). The name itself appeared on the box of the Magna Convoy DX set, which included the "Final Battle" redeco (our Powerlinx redeco with a few changes), a translucent Ultra Magnus, and an X-Dimensions redeco of Bumble (Perceptor). The deco on Convoy wasn't really an homage to Powered Convoy btw.
With that out of the way...
Uhm... I was certain the original KO in blue would be the only way to get it, now eHobby does this? Just what state is the mold in anyway after the Platinum Edition?
And good call Sabrblade, on noticing the Mindwipe shield being meant for Convobat. I never noticed that particular accessory was missing from that release!
How does the sword play in though?
