Following an initial teaser a few days ago that revealed its existence, we have our first look at MP-49 Black Convoy. To the surprise of no one, it's a black redeco of MP-44 Convoy/Optimus Prime Ver. 3, with teal and red accents. The image quality of this first look is mostly garbage, but is enough to give a basic sense of this upcoming Masterpiece.
The Weibo post from MOMO模玩 where the image was first found also mentions the planned price: ¥28,000. With the current exchange rates, that would put it somewhere around $250 - though some retailers in Japan will undoubtedly be offering it for probably closer to ¥20,000 on preorder discount. The price - and unique MP-number, for that matter - are clearly based on the absence of MP-44's trailer. We've been told to expect official information on or about December 5th, so it shouldn't be long before we have a good look at everything this Optimus redeco will have to offer. Stay tuned!
Guess what TMan won't be buying
We've finally got a good look at MP-49 this morning. The Black Convoy redeco of MP-44 Optimus Prime ver. 3 has been initially listed on Amazon Japan, though only visible through their marketplace function at the moment. Despite that, Autobase Aichi was able to retrieve the stock photos from the listing.
