Hello plastic crack fans, er Transformer collectors, or uber TFnerds (that's me). Today's picture brings you the newest member of the
Masterpiece series,
Black Convoy. Over the years, there have been numerous figures depicting "Nemesis Prime" (or a black version of Convoy/Optimus Prime), but they all pale in comparison to the most recent, and in my opinion, best representation of the character. But why, you may ask, is he the best? Come on...just look at him - tall, dark, and handsome. Ha, just kidding. Seriously, though, this figure has some extra tidbits that the other Masterpiece Primes do not. In this first release of Black Convoy, included with the figure is the standard Megatron gun, his tech spec card, Matrix, and Energon axe. But, unlike his previous incarnations, we get a little black cloth bag with a silver Autobot symbol on it. You might be thinking, "Well, LongHaul, what is in the bag?" Inside is the first chrome metal Masterpiece figure record, which states the "Transformers Masterpiece" bit, along with an Autobot symbol, MP-1B, "Cybertron Commander", and "Convoy Black Ver." This, along with his general all-around awesomeness, is what makes him, in my opinion, the best Masterpiece figure, because now he can be displayed with his chrome bio card, while the other blingless MPs will just vanish into the background. I'm LongHaul and that's what I think.
