Anyhow, to me it doesn't matter if it all makes sense or not. It would be look if it did but I don't mind having a repaint of Optimus in dark colours. It just makes him look mysterious cool. Like he would have a darkside... or at least not the side of kindness we all knew he had.
For instance Bumblebee g1. He is a bit of a softy and happy coloured VW Bug . But repaint him like the colours of black convoy and change his character along with it. An alt version of him as it were.
I remember also that episode 71 in season 3 "The Killing Jar" when they all went into the vortex/blackhole and their colours changed. Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus, Wreck-Gar and the quintessons had all of a sudden a different paintjob, like as negatives of photo's. Don't want actually that they repeaint them in those exact colours but, it could be a nice plot to justify the story behind Nemesis Prime?

...but... that's how all the Transformers were created. They repainted (in most cases they didn't even do that much)diaclone toys and then made a story around them, then they created new toys and worked them into the show and comics to create a story around them. It rarely went the other way. Now if they were to stop making new toys and just repaint everything constantly, then, yeah, I'd probably be annoyed, but this is one of the cooler looking repaint characters around, so I can't really complain about this other than the fact that I can't afford it.

Or rather, another eHobby exclusive, MP or otherwise.Stormrider wrote:Interesting comic. The cliffhanger definitely hints that another MP exclusive is on the way with another comic to finish the story.
This is supposed to be following the story that came with Laser Ultra Magnus, Galvatron II, and Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version. But, this comic seems to be a bit confusing as to how it follows that story.

This comic is comes with Japanese version MP-01B Convoy Black version, there is no comic provided in the earlier Hong Kong/Asia version.

Black Primes have been with us for nearly a decade. It's been explained in older fiction as well. It was Nucleon Quest armor then. I collect Black Prime/Primal/Convoy figures so I was happy to see this. You obviously don't. Complaining about it does nothing to change the fact that this isn't going to be the last Black repaint we ever see. Oh and Shattered Glass Megatron is an Autobot in spirit if not name.

This is the exact same release as the one prior, only it's via a different outlet and comes with the comic. The metal name plate is included.

And damn, the Engrish is unbearable!

But, the story itself still doesn't make any sense.

About the English names, the Japanese still spells out "Convoy" for Optimus. Also, Japanese is a difficult language to properly translate in a timely fashion. The Japanese were never experts in that to begin with.

First off, that's not Optimus Prime. Nor is it Nemesis Prime. It's an Eldedroid that is being controlled by a human named "Dan". And just who do we know of in the TFG1 cartoon fiction hat has that name? None other than Daniel Witwicky. Daniel slaggin' Witwicky! Though, given the time period at which this comic takes place, he would have to be at least in his 30's by now.
The presense of Ironhide and the Constructicons are a bit puzzling, give nthat Ironhide died in the G1 movie and the Constructicons (as Devastator) were destroyed in the Zone episode. However, Ironhide did show up in the Headmasters TV series, so this kind of odd occurance has happened before.
Megatron being is his G1 body is also questionable. He was last seen retreating into space in his G2 Hero tank body. Guess he liked his old form so much he rebuilt himself into it?
Also, given that this is the Japanese cartoon continuity, I'd say that that Diver instead of Wavereider who's partnered up with Splashdown (who himself might be there just for kicks, I guess).
