2017 Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive LG EX Black Convoy Confirmed

You know what this means, guys? We might be getting even more of the post-Car Robots Gelshark/Black Convoy/Baldigus storyline that began in Gelshark's Legends comic, continued in Black Convoy's previous Legends comic, and carried over into Baldigus's two Unite Warriors online comics.

This is it guys
Black Convoy finally made a remodel of his own truck and now he can FLY

I'm anticipating an e-Hobby exclusive Fire Guts God Ginrai before the end of the year. What with the moulds existing to do it and it being 10 years since E-hobby started doing Transformers Exclusives and the original FG God Ginrai If I recall correctly was their first one too.

I would welcome a Nucleon Quest deco too possibly as a TRU exclusive so both Optimus get made in black - it makes more sense for the larger one to be a Black Heroic "Optimus" body though.

To add some interest perhaps the Larger Hasbro version of the mould would be suitable for a Western repaint of some kind too - I'd kind a like a Blue G2 Combat hero / Powered Convoy like one but i'd understand if Hasbro thought Nemesis Prime was a better idea. Not that I'm not interested to see what they plan to do with Magnus too.

He's finally leveled the playing field with God Magnus.

Having ruck and Trailer is gonna be SWEET! But I am not sure the Octane Mold is better than the Generations Prime mold...

I wonder, since the toy is a Headmaster and since Black Convoy once tried to control a Headmaster, if this toy might fictionally represent Black Convoy creating his own Head On System to put himself on more even footing with Brave Maximus.

Even better; since Brave Maximus was retconned as having some connection with Planet Master...

Not naturally, though. Brave Maximus was created by Primus/Vector Sigma on Earth in ancient times. Towards the end of what we're shown of his life, he ends up being sent back in time from 2007 and crash-landing on Planet Master, where he becomes the inspiration for Fortress's Headmaster technology. So the Headmaster tech of Planet Master came from him, rather than him being related to Master's tech.

But the Head On System that Brave Maximus is something a little different. It comprises of Plasma and Brave, who unite with Cybertron City to become Brave Maximus. But there is a trick to both activating the Head On System and making Brave Maximus work. Someone like an Autobot or a human can activate the system and transform the city, but in order for Brave Maximus's true power to fully function, there is a part of Plasma's programming that is a Black Box that will only respond to one with a pure heart, like a selfless human child or a determined Autobot youth. Selfish or wicked intents result in an Access Error that can cause Brave Maximus to either reject the one who activated him or to even go haywire with wanton destruction, like so:

Thats some pretty sweet animation!

Alas, that scene was cut out from the English version thanks to 9/11 censorship.

Ahhh that gif is from RID(carrobots) which has Fort Max in it(or Brave Max) although Cerebros in that was called the Emissary

Awww sweet! Finally, a good Voyager class Nemesis Prime-

>Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive

Oh for slag's sake.

I somehow still don't own any version of Black Convoy, so this might be both my first Black Convoy and my first exclusive

Yay! The manga for LGEX (the six-pack of Titan Masters.)

With Sunbow's Zarak/Scorponok and the Nebulans. Check it out --

Not terribly long ago, we learned of Takara releasing six of Hasbro's Titan Masters in alternate decoes as a high-priced exclusive - Brawn, Flywheels, Grimlock and the Hasbro versions of Brainstorm, Chromedome and Hardhead. And today, courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have the tie-in Manga for the six of them! No translations yet; but it features a surprising appearance from Zarak and the rest of the Headmasters from The Rebirth - which we'll remind you was exclusive to the US G1 Cartoon Continuity, not the Japanese G1 Continuity these comics usually follow! Check out the comic - and the link to the official website where it's from - below!

Like on the show.

Well that was surreal.

I have no idea what's going on...but I love it!

Took the words right outta my mouth.

It looks like the Headmasters' Nebulan counterparts seized their transtectors to fight Scorponok/Zarak.

Keep in mind, The Rebirth did eventually get dubbed in Japanese, but was treated as separate from the main Japanese continuity, complete with its maintaining the American theme song opening sequence.

It looks like the Brainstorm, Chromedome, and Hardhead that come in the Headmasters Set are actually the Nebulans Arcana, Stylor, and Duros from The Rebirth. Could we be looking at how Nebulans came to be in the Japanese G1 universe as they were mentioned to exist in the Nucleon Quest Super Convoy bio?

So what happened to the living autobot headmasters then? Time to call UM to sold the Mystery!

They are there, sneak attacked by their Nebulan doublegangers. And teaming-up with them later to defeat Scorponok.

That what it looks like to me.

I think fenrir was asking about the full-sized Autobot Headmasters from The Rebirth. If their Nebulan partners are here, what happened to the big guys? Are they all stuck in vehicle mode now, being headless and such?

They probably are!

You read my mind. Were they left in the American G1 universe then?

Huh, looks like Grimock ended up working at the same maid cafe Windblade and Cab (a guy in drag) are working at, owned by BWII Starscream. How the mighty have fallen... I like how the Crashbash body works for him.

It looks like Brawn, Grimlock and Flywheels have found the Hive City... which Flywheels thinks it's a shopping center (or it's posing as one) Note how it's not named "Scorponok" upon transformation, but "Gigantic Machine Scorpion"

The Neublan and the JP Headmaster interaction in the manga is a neat call back to how the Headmasters worked in the US cartoon, with the partner in a cockpit. It's more of a reversal of the norm in that the Nebulans control the whole body and the Headmasters are in the cockpit this time!

Also neat is that Grimlock and Brawn get their original vehicle models via their redecos Butler/Batora and Synapse! What's more, the combined modes are called "Two-In-One", the Japanese name for the Duocons! Flywheels gets nothing, ironically. We also learn a consequence of using Batora's capture mode: you're stuck like that every time it happens

Oh Sakamoto you rascal.

I was wondering if anyone has any idea if Takara is still selling it's Cloud toys cheap at show as it has in the past - I was wondering if they might have some at Wonderfest ?

Even in Re-birth, the system was kind of the same except that the vehicles were sentient and that the Headmasters were organic while Takara's were pure cybertronian.

Coming to you from Wonderfest all the way from Japan is images of Godbomber! Wonderfest is a trade show similar to toy fair which showcases new toys soon to be on the market in Japan. Twitter users Diver and Chromless have posted some pictures of what Godbomber will look like, and the combined form of Godginrai (with Super Ginrai). Check them out!

Choujin Gattai!

Godbomber is HUGE!!!!!!!

Gotta admit, it is making me wonder where the heck Godbomber was in those TR Boxsets when it would have made sense with Magnus Prime and it was consistently rumoured. Would've liked it a heck of a lot more than I-am-totally-quickswitch-and-not-bad-extremely-loose-redeco
Maybe they changed their plans half the way through?

The Wonderfest 2017 juggernaut just keeps on rolling, with the next set of figures up for images. Here we have the LG-EX headmaster set, which is comprised of 6 Hasbro Titans Return Titan Master figures in Takara legends coloring, so that way if you own a legends figure, you can actually swap heads with appropriate colors! The set is comprised of: Brainstorm, Hardhead, Chromedome, Flywheels, Gong (AKA Brawn), and Grimlock. You can check out the images below courtesy of Twitter users いたっちょ＠PSO2_Ship1, たごーる, and トランスフォーマー情報局!

Wow, I did not expect Godbomber to be so big.

Maybe that's why is TR self is no longer in that one box set. Maybe he's big enough they had to qualify him as a leader class and he'll be in a 3rd box set!

The reason why Ginrai had those funky feat. May can't come soon enough!

Would be nice to get the takara headmasters individually.

These look really nice, alot better than the lazy no paint hasbro ones

may cant come soon enough!
im a little concerned about his wings being too high and too short though

Who are those two Hasbro commissioned Takara to make? The one on the right I am assuming is Thunderwing. The one on the left looks like Hotrod or Rodimus.

Rodimus Prime and Thunderwing. They come as heads only in the speed and strength Titans return sets. Rodimus was confirmed to have diecast. Thunderwing maybe

Wild conjecture on Rodimus. Is it possible to have a Takara vehicle/ body for him too? Even Thunderwing using the Skyshadow mold? Takara please please? So long as it ain't a Mall exclusive.

That God Bomber is something else. May can't come soon enough!

Magnus Prime looks good but I really don't like the Godbomber stuff at all.

Rodimus Prime head looks cool but what body would you put it on?
Don't like the Thunderwing face much. But still their robot modes are nicely painted.

Well... given that their only difference in animation was ever their head design, probably Hot Rod.

In any case, think you've got the wrong thread friend

What do you mean? The Hot Rod body isn't Rodimus Prime.

And why wrong thread? :O

In both the cartoon and Marvel, Hot Rod and Rodimus had no discernible differences between their bodies other than Rodimus having slightly darker shades of colour, more lines on his face and sometimes he was taller. So the Hot Rod body... does work as Rodimus if you really want it to.

And that'd be 'cos all the stuff you mentioned aside from Godbomber were Hasbro reveals last night, not Takara

Titans Hot Rod works fine as Hot Rod but doesn't have the size/stature of Rodimus Prime who should be Voyager class in comparison to the HR toy and scale with other figures of similar rank and power like Voyager Megatron, Galvatron, Optimus Prime. And plus the alt-mode is vastly different. A full Rodimus Prime voyager figure by either Hasbro or Takara could be awesome. He's never really had a successful & affordable one of that form.

And I was responding to the image posted in this thread just a few posts above.

Was this it for Wonderfest? If so that's incredibly disappointing. Takara hasn't shown a thing for the legends series besides the headmasters set for months. I really thought they were just saving stuff for this convention.
