Funny how much difference just painting OP's combiner chest grey makes.

It is none of the above.Optimizzy wrote:Bbts has pre-orders up. They list it as Grand Convoy.
Why would Brawn be red, though? They need a red arm for the Grand Convoy homage.RiddlerJ wrote:They should've used Brawn for the Offroad redeco.

Pretty sharp looking deco.
It's probably unpaintable plastic.Railbomb wrote:Also, Why didn't they paint the center chest area?
I am at least glad that they did paint what they could on the Combiner Mode torso to bring out as much of the Grand Convoy homage in the mold as possible.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I'm a little saddened that Takara didn't go all out on the Grand Convoy homage with Optimus's deco.
So am I, this ends up being pretty much the same thing as the Hasbro version but with slightly better deco in some places (Mirage and Prowl for instance, Hasbro's sunstreaker is more to my taste).
The fact that they didnt colour the chest blows hard. And yes, that fact alone has swayed me into no longer being interested in acquiring this version.
