No but really.
(I don't own any of the 7-11 Gunpla, actually, but this makes me kind of want to.)

Whether or not it's called that, it's still for all intents and purposes Ultra Magnus. Heck, aside from the 7-11 symbol; it's practically the exact same deco as MP-02. It's clear what it's intended to be and what people would see it as and use it for whether it's called "7-11 Convoy" or Ultra Magnus.

I know that people may want to use it as Ultra Magnus, but to call it an official Ultra Magnus character toy before we know of its actual designation is jumping the gun a bit.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I'm gonna wait until we find out the actual name of this thing before jumping on the Ultra Magnus bandwagon.

I mean, hey, Pepsi Convoy just looks like Convoy/Optimus with a bit of extra blues here and there, but he's his own guy.
I assume nothing.

My interest in a Pepsi Convoy would depend on price. If it cost around what the MP-10B re-release is going for, I might consider it. If it was closer to what the Evangelion Convoy sells for these days, I would skip it.

I've never heard of Hess Trucks before, had to look it up. Some gas station toy I guess, we don't have those in Maine. I do see the resemblance, though.

I promise to never waste my time sending you a pm again.
In this particular case your actions were justified.

I LOL'ed at this to my wife's annoyance while I read your post to hear while we are supposed to be watching Lion. Back to watching Lion. I have to put my laptop away because of all of the distracting comments.
Can't wait for 7-11 Ultra Magnus Convoy. It looks amazing and I'm thrilled it comes with the trailer.

I know the STT Convoy one was a Chase piece, but was the Sports Label one an exclusive of some sort? Or just one of those special redecos they didn't bother making a special box for?
Posted by Rodimus Prime on July 27th, 2017 @ 1:27am CDT
That's exactly what I was talking about. Just because it's "styled" like a certain character, doesn't mean it's that character, not until it is officially named as such. And besides, the only time Magnus appeared as a white Prime inside the armor was in DW's G1 story. Unless these releases are homages to the G1 figure?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Wouldn't be the first time an Ultra Magnus-styled redeco of Optimus Prime wasn't named "Ultra Magnus", blue mouthplate and all:

And is it just me, or is the blue clashing with all that green elsewhere? It sticks out quite a bit, and not really in a good way.

Agreed but do you keep it all white or make it green?

My entire bookshelf of Prime toys can attest to that. But Bee may be taking over that distinction soon.Kurona wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:So it's officially called "Convoy" then, not "Magnus?"

Also, technically I was right. MP-711 is not Magnus.

Now I'm beginning to hate OPrime. With all the rainbow colors that he had released, they couldn't reserved the white one with red eyes and blue faceplate for Ultra Magnus. And then there is Magnus Prime, another OPrime, unbelievable! Good grief, next thing you know they'll call MP22 as OPrime.

Good call on the optional stickers there, TakaraTomy.

Optimus Prime had Ultra Magnus's cab colors in the final issue of the insanely-surreal IDW Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comics.Kurona wrote:Teeechnically. But if it looks like a duck, if it sounds like a duck, if it acts like a duck...
The real Ultra Magnus is the armored guy Optimus is emerging from.

Yup -- which as I recall is the only fiction featuring Optimus using the white cab design.
And considering that it's one issue from foreign fiction vs. 31 years of precedent including multiple toys to the contrary and that the colours match up almost perfectly with MP-02 rather than the comic, I'm gonna say this is probably meant to be Magnus.

I don't understand this. You'd skip this simply because he's NOT NAMED Ultra Magnus? Even though he's exactly the white cab Magnus you want (minus the stickers)?REMINATOR wrote:So, it's Total Commander Convoy eh? Those bastards TTomy are still in denial to give me a proper MP 10 white Magnus after all these years. The ingredient to slap Prime name and it will sell well may work to the general public, well I ain't one of those folks. I maybe a sucker to a white Magnus or UMagnus figure, but for an official product, if his name isn't label as Ultra Magnus, he will not be welcome into my Magnus/UM collection. With that being said, a big pass to 711 Total Commander Convoy from me. Although I don't support KO TF, in this case I'm glad KO MP10U exists.
And I'll reiterate about the MP-10U KO, it is garbage. If you pay anything higher that 50 bucks (and you will) then you'll feel taken advantage of like I did.

You will understand the concept if you only collect by character like me. So I'm more strict compared to normal collectors since I just don't base on mold/colors alone. To me, this Total Commander Convoy/ Supreme Commander is referring to OPrime, not the UM character.

I can get behind being a strict type of collector, but as Kurona said:REMINATOR wrote:You will understand the concept if you only collect by character like me.

Supposedly, those are stickers, and it comes with Autobot sigils.
