New MP-49 Masterpiece Black Convoy Packaging Image

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -Kanrabat-, has let us know that YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime, has done a brand new review of the next Masterpiece to be released, MP-49 Black Convoy!

This is a redeco of the previously released MP-44 Optimus Prime figure, that was G1 Sunbow accurate. MP-49 doesn't come with the trailer the previous release had.

Check out the embedded review below:



Do you have this figure on preorder? Will you be adding him to your Nemesis Prime shrine? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

wasn't aware of knee issues - didn't pony up for mp44. The number of extras with these things might be nice for some... however I would prefer to have the basic figure with a limited number of accessories for a reduced price. This guy is still too pricey, maybe they might release the standard prime again in the same manner as this. Or will save up 1k for the next mp prime.

So guys, I a planning on getting mp-45 Bumblebee, but will I regret buying him? I like how he looks and dont really mind the backpack. I have also planned to get mp-21, but my friend had his arm joint snap off, so I am slightly worried about that. Is there any problems with mp-45 I should know before I get him?

It was the transformation hinge he broke
But, like I said, I have heard bad reviews, and while I get the backpack may be bad, I don't really mind it. But, at the same time, I really wanna get mp-21

Usually if there is a widespread QC problem in a toy, video reviews that are all over YouTube will point them out.

Congrats and be careful. That's one deep rabbit hole you're diving into.

A word of advise though. Avoid buying MPs from eBay. Especially those who come from China. It's Knock Off Central over there.

Smart moove. MP-45 Bee is an overengineered and overpriced mess. MP-21 is way better all over, it's only "flaw" being not toon accurate.

I'd expect lots of panels origami resulting in a big but hollow vehicle.

I'm pretty sure it's possible.

No "inner Hot Rod", just the future Autobot Leader given his due. However, if they are making them more "show accurate", in style and not just aesthetic. Much as they did with Megatron MP-5 to MP-36. When it comes to Rodimus, that could be... problematic.

Yet, there's at least one Episode where he transforms like Optimus and there is an 'inner' Hotrod, I thought.

Either way, I prefer the former.

I think RP's trailer appeared more times than OP's.
