Love this figure. But have all versions of him, and paint scheme don’t look any difference...or different enough to spend $279 on. Use that money for encore brave max. Wished they sell sword by itself. 3p?

Courtesy of
Takara Tomy, we have some more voice clip recordings for the Encore reissue of God Fire Convoy from Transformers: Car Robots - as an addition to the images we reported on
here - focusing on the God Magnus side of the combiner of old! You can listen to them
here, and take a look at what they mean below!
ゴッドマグナス!トランスフォーム! | God Magnus! Transform!
人に物を聞くときは自分から名乗るものだぜ | (Unhelpful machine translation:) When you listen to things to people, you are told from yourself
マグナレーザー+SE | Magna laser! *pewpew*

This is great for anyone that doesn't have these figures already. But, if you have the original, that price is a real deal breaker, sword or not.

I have the original releases of them, so I don't really need this, but I will be honest, I was never able to figure out the instructions for combining them.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Car Robots at an import shop a good year before they were released domestically, and I still have a lot of the OG Takara packaging. It's super cool that they stuck with the original package design for this release. Really gives it a nice throwback feel.

Good to know they are staying true to the line. I hope that means they have other plans for it.

I would love to own this (That non-chrome chest on Prime is great IMO, and I'd love to have the sword) but that price...It'd be cheaper to go buy the originals.

Bought the original Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus from an importer back around 1999 or 2000; and if I recall correctly paid about $50 for each or for you math majors $100 total, which accounting for inflation over the past 18 years would put the value of a dollar at $1.50 today. $100 extra for a sword seems a little steep.

I wonder what happened to those March delays we were hearing about? A lot of people got notices about March Transformers delays (I did not), and yet it seems like everything is shipping on time. Not worried about, I'm looking forward to this coming next week.

If encore is still going I would rather the older harder to get G1 japanese figure such as Overlord, Grandus, Dia Atlas, and Metrotitan.

A number of Hong Kong based Transformers fans, meeting up in the Hobbymizer discussion group on
Facebook, have been sharing in-package and in-bubble images of the latest Encore release from Takara Tomy Transformers, showing off one of arguably the best engineered combining toys of the franchise, hailing back from the 2000s: God Fire Convoy / Omega Prime!
You can check out the mirrored images below, showing the separate God Magnus and Fire Convoy figures in their packaging and compare it all to the first release of the figure in the Seibertron.com galleries right
here!

These are not the Encore toy. These are the old (and yellowed) Hasbro versions with a 3rd party sword.

That sword they show in the pictures looks a lot like the perfect effect matrix sword
Where's the one that's supposed to be with it?

I know the original sword was a partial remold of the G1 Jap Fort/Grand Max sword with a different hilt. It looks like the hilt designed for the Fort/Grand/brave Max (G1) is included with this set so I wonder if the hilt is able to be swapped now to use the sword on both figures.

Makes me wonder if it's possible they're planning a Brave Maximus reissue.

The original God Fire Convoy 2-pack that came with the Super God Sword originally included both the new hilt for God Fire Convoy and the original Fort Max hilt, so this could just be following in suit with that original release's inclusion of both hilts.

Alfes2010 has updated
their twitter with images of the Encore God Fore Convoy set.
As you can see from these imags, the colours are different. The colours are bold and the chrome has been removed.
The recordings featured in this toy is all new. These are from the original voice cast, Satoshi Hashimoto (Fire Convoy) and Takashi Matsuyama (God Magnus). There are far more sounds in this release than the previous one, over 40. New battle sounds will be activated as the robot is combined. For more info on the sound clips, you can click
here.
Alfes states that, as with the original, the upper body heavy, especially with the battery inserted. Regarding, the Super God Sword, Alfes states the handle part becomes is made of harder material, and the disassembly & assembly is very easy to do. It being such a huge sword is really helpful for poses (so they say).

God Magnus never had
on the sides, nor did Fire Convoy: they were added for the RiD Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus releases. In fact, the most common difference between Car Robot and RiD toys is just that.

Was the
original Fire Convoy really that...
yellow? Possible sun bleaching aside...
I'm even one of the rare people who loves chrome, so I was pretty let down to see the shiny loveliness removed for this reissue. But seeing the finished product... it looks damn good. It's more uniform, polished even. And Prime and Magnus have strikingly yellow eyes, so handsome. I'm pretty psyched for this now.

I've heard about mass reports from Japanese fans of misassembly, warped parts and general QC nightmares. That's kinda dampened my happiness for this. I still kinda want it, but not for the obscene price they're going for.

A lot of fans have been excited about the latest encore reissue from Takara Tomy Transformers, of the combining and parts forming two-figure set from Car Robots / Robots in Disguise - God Fire Convoy, or Omega Prime to Anglophone audiences.
However, there seem to be more issues than previously thought with the release of the Fire Convoy and God Magnus brothers, according to a number of reports and seemingly confirmed by a post on the Taiwanese Facebook group
TFCN - though the news seems to clash with the actual release of the figure, that has already happened - the figure will be recalled due to quality issues and general not very goodness.
While we wait from an official communication of sorts, let us know what you think of this news. Do you have the figure in hand? Can you confirm the reports? Is your figure also not up to standard for a new toy?
It's a little late, but the most important news today should be this.
.
.
This is a message from the last month, the encore series, the encore series, the series of after fire command, which will be cancelled because of the quality of product quality.
