As anyone and their grandma could have guessed, MP-49 Masterpiece Black Convoy will be a redeco of MP-44 Optimus Prime 3.0. An image has surfaced on the weibo account Momo. The price was also revealed to be 28000 yen, which is around $255 USD. This is much cheaper than the original version because, as the image shows, there is no trailer accessory. The image itself seems to have been cut out of its background since some parts have been shaved off, making it a terrible first look at the figure. But at least it gives us an idea of what we will get, which is your standard black redeco with teal highlights and red windows. Unlike the previous black prime MP, this might not be an exclusive, so it could be available from Japanese sellers such as Amazon Japan who tend to sell it for less than MSRP. We first heard of this toy through a listing from site sponsor BBTS.

Yeah. That’s why it’s called black convoy. Not nemesis prime or scourge. It’s black convoy. He’s a thing that exists.

It's confusing but there has been Japanese repaints of prime that are just Optimus in a black paint job as a (terrible) disguise so he can infiltrate the cons. Nucleon Quest Convoy for example, a black repaint of God Ginrai. If that symbol is a con in the final release then it's just Nemesis/Scourge, if it stays a Bot one, then it's just Optimus.

Was expecting them to star releasing him as repaints at cheaper prices. Who knows maybe one day we can scoop him up for less that 180 but alas till then I’m all budgeted out

What I meant was, until recently, Black Convoy was one of the main Japanese names for Nemesis Prime/Scourge characters, so this fits right in with that. And yeah, Optimus himself has donned a black paint job to infiltrate the Decepticons before, but when he's doing that, he's also usually wearing Decepticon insignia, like with the United Black Optimus Prime figure. Plus, RID Scourge had upside-down blacked-out G2 Autobot emblems, so it's not like Nemesis Primes haven't worn Autobot emblems before (without going out and searching every black repaint of Optimus Prime, I'm sure there are other examples). Taking all that into account, I don't really think the insignia is gonna have much bearing on what specific character this is supposed to be.

Yo be fair though it sounded like you were discounting the possibility when we simply can't say at this juncture. He's pretty much Schrodinger's Prime at the moment. At least till we get more information (if BBTS got the right info, we're supposed to hear something around the 5th of December)

Does any of it truly matter though? In the end nomatter what he's called, it will be a typical black prime redeco with teal and red windows. He can be whatever character anyone wants. And if the symbol is an issue, just put a sticker to change it.

Have there been that many black Optimus redecos from Takara lately that weren't some version of Nemesis Prime, though? I mean, yeah, they did release a lot of "good guy Optimus but in black" toys in years past, but have they continued that trend as of late?

That happened only once, with the United release. Other black Optimuses had different backstories, usually tying into some mysterious property of the color.
Just a few actually:
- JAFCon Convoy
- Nucleon Quest Super Convoy: special coating that allows him to travel into Black Holes to obtain Nucleon
- MP-1B Convoy Black Ver.: Eldedroid or remote-controlled robotic double
- Alternity Convoy Super Black: reformed Universe 2003 Nemesis Prime
- Black Super Fire Convoy
- Animated Optimus Prime Black Version: despite being repurposed into a Nemesis, he has
- Prime Dark Guard Optimus Prime: reverse-engineered MECH alloys
- Darkside Moon Jetwing Optimus Prime Black ver.
- Lost Age Black Knight Optimus Prime
Even a small change in food makes one eat.
It'd be the first black redeco with since 2015's Black Knight if memory serves me right.

Why does it matter exactly when the last time they put an autobot symbol? The fact that one of the MP Primes already went that route is precedent enough.
Also with the idea of G1 being so prevalent right now, I get that the repaint would be a G1 black convoy homage.

Nor was the JAFCon one you linked to, that too was called "Convoy Black Version". I understand "Black Convoy" is often used for short informally, but that's still the official name for the evil doubles, not the Autobot Commander clad in black.
Again, let's just all wait until the official announcement and pics before the whole argument spirals out of control.

We have an official listing from Amazon Japan for Transformers Masterpiece MP-49 Black Convoy. This is however, the same thing as Nemesis Prime since he has a black, teal and red deco with a Decepticon symbol. It is a straight redeco, as even the head is identical to the original Masterpiece Optimus Prime V3 release.
He comes with a limited set of accessories is priced at ￥ 21,853 plus taxes (where applicable) on the website. The description seems to indicate that the voice chip has been removed for this release. Which, if true, would mean that you get all that backpack and nothing to show for it.
Below is a translation of the description found in the listing along with some images. You can click the link for more.

The teal blast part is a little weird, would've preferred purple.
Also a real bummer on the loss of the voice chip. It makes it cheaper, no doubt, but it also means the backpack will be less justified on this release.
Otherwise, it's a great MP44 alternative

You mean the cartoon accurate body that Nemesis Prime and/or Black Convoy never appeared in?

Yup,
Also, to answer your question, the best place is amazon japan, the lunk is in the article. You'll have to wait a bit for that price to drop though. But if you order now, you'll get the lowest price once it drops.

Ah, thanks.
EDIT: ok, just successfully made an Amazon Japan account, but when trying to order the figure, it says it won't deliver to my address. Do y'all usually have it shipped to someone in Japan and then they ship it to you, or did i just probably do something wrong putting in my address?

I'm with those who prefer MP-10B. While this mold looks good as Cartoon Optimus, it just looks less interesting as Nemesis since both the red and the blue are replaced with the more monotonous black, and the greater lack of details is more emphasized with this version than with the Optimus version.
What's more, using MP-10B as Nemesis while using MP-44 as Optimus allows Nemesis to have his own unique silhouette while still sharing Optimus's basic appearance. Plus, the MP-10 mold gives Nemesis a more aggressive, muscular shape compared to the MP-44 mold's more docile, leaner shape that suits Optimus way more than it suits Nemesis.

Ok, nevermind about the shipping address thing, it just turns out the current cheapest seller doesn't ship overseas.
Does it matter which seller I choose, or will it still give me the cheapest price any seller has it for between ordering and shipping?
EDIT: Never mind, I've now ordered and the listing I got noted the "guaranteed minimum price on pre-orders" thing so I think I'm set.

Blue axe is kinda cool.
Kinda sad that he doesn't have a different toy head though

Yes you are set. And only Amazon Japan themselves is sure to ship to a US adress.
Also, the amazon japan listing confirms that for now, a new number can be given to a redeco if its a wide release (though it is probably a coincidence anyway)
And Sabr, does the name wirk now that its a decepticon symbol? Or no?

It looks nice but honestly I like the look of MP10B more. Something about cartoon accurate Optimus in Nemesis Prime colors doesn’t look right to me.

Looks more like Prime in the worst possible Decepticon disguise than it does an actual Nemesis Prime. it doesn't look evil enough to be Nemesis Prime.

So no electronics and no trailer. Maybe no human figures too.
So the big question is, how much will this be? Because it would be a chance to own the MP-44 mold at a relatively reasonable price.

200$ as in 200$ US of course.
Eh.... I'm not that exited at that price. Because when factoring the exchange rate, shipping, and sureshot custom fees, this will be a 400 Leaf Dollars figure.

If you order from Amazon Japan, it will probably come out closer to 200$ leaf dollars when all is said and done than 400. This isnt an exclusive this time so you'll get that MSRP discount.
