TakaraTomy's panel presentation at Tokyo Toy Show 2018 took place early Saturday (Japan time, of course) and it seems the feature reveal of that event was the expected third version of Masterpiece Convoy. Photography was not actually permitted during the event, but that didn't stop a few attendees from sneaking shots, such as TOYPLUS on Weibo, who got reasonably clear - if distant - images of the prototype on display on a table, plus a partial shot of a presentation slide showing the vehicle mode, which you can see mirrored below.
The new Convoy - which may or may not have a future as Optimus Prime in Hasbro-served markets given the loss of Toys R Us in much of the world - seems to follow the more recent aesthetic choices in the G1 Masterpiece line. The basic silhouette, which is about all we can really judge right now, does seem to more strongly favor the cartoon overall than MP-10. But of course more detailed images in the near future will better tell the tale.
