There was zero chance Takara TOMY was NOT going to repaint the C-01 Convoy. We all expected Nemesis Prime, but a new leaked listing gives us a heads-up this could be a C-01S Sentinel Prime release, of all things. What seems an odd choice when Magna Convoy or Diaclone Powered Convoy are a closer match for a blue cab.
What appears backwards, may actually be the more recent trend we have seen, with Hasbro and Takara releasing the least desirable repaints first. The most likely case for Sentinel Prime redco of Convoy, is Ultra Magnus will get the Missing Link treatment. Which Takara is saving the other Blue repaint(s). Sorry no images yet, check out the leaked listing thanks to the ever diligent @JTPrime17.
I have negative interest in Missing Link Optimus Prime.
However I love that Nemesis isn't the first or even second redeco. The other Optimus was technically the first redeco.
I hate how no company does anything else other than the basic ones. I'd pick up so many more third party and knock off figures if they just did Magna Convoy, Fire Guts Ginrai, Shining Magnus, Ghostbusters Optimus or some other variant of the Optimus mold's colors like the BAPE colors or Pepsi Convoy more often or at all. But no. We only get Nemesis Prime, Black Convoy, Scourge, all white Magnus, Shatter Glass Optimus and maybe if we're lucky, white Magnus with blue legs!. Sometimes Toxitron slips through as well. Dead Optimus is a thing now too. But really only Dr. Wu is doing most of those.
But next time I hear or read someone complaining about the gaps in modern Transformers, I'll refer then to G1 Optimus Prime and his gappy thighs. Missing Link and Legacy deluxe even copy that. Well I mean, of course Missing Link Convoy did as it's as accurate as possible but with articulation but my point still stands.
