A redeco of 20th Anniversary/Masterpiece Optimus Prime, ”Convoy Black Version” sports the traditional black, grey, teal, and red ”Nemesis Prime” color scheme, despite not actually being an evil character. The toy is exceptionally poseable, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic, and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working, spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving mouthplate, flip-up communications panels on the forearms, and an opening Matrix chamber in the chest that lights up with a red LED and contains a removable, purple vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership, which can also be pulled open to reveal the red crystal at its center.Other accessories are his traditional ion blaster, a transparent red energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when the toy’s fist is retracted, a non-transforming gun-mode Megatron weapon with removable stock, silencer and scope accessories, and a fold-up cardboard trailer to ”complete” the figure’s vehicle mode.Like all the Japanese versions of this mold, Convoy Black features different images on his communicators than all other releases. In his case he features Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime.The version of this figure released through e-HOBBY included an exclusive comic by Naoto Sakai and Hidetsugu Yoshioka, while non-e-Hobby releases came with a metal nameplate inside a black velvet pouch.
