Probably until at least after normal Lio Convoy gets released.

Aw, no golden chest flame for the beast mode. He had it in the movie, even.

Oddly enough I DO kinda like him. I definitely feel like he could have been done better, but in general I don’t think he’s all that bad. Beast Mode is easily better looking than his bot mode in my opinion, which is admittedly disappointing, but not a deal breaker for me. My main gripe is probably just how jarring his bit head looks on that clear candy looking red plastic. The juxtaposition of a painted solid plastic head on a clear plastic body is visually dissonant. Maybe if there had been some solid red plastic parts throughout the body, then maybe he’d look more cohesive.

I’d still definitely consider getting him, provided he isn’t stupid expensive.

I know it's supposed to be that way, but I find the blue of the blue helmet to be jarring. It would be a much nicer looking figure if the helmet was red.

It is funny. I have said I will fully support the MP Beast Wars line. Everything from characters I don't like (Airazor, Scorponok, Blackarachnia) to the most obscure redecos (Nightprowler, Packrat, Fractyl etc). BUT unless we get a de-make of the Apelinq redeco via This Mold, I have MP-32 and that is the only Primal I am interested in.

It's starting out to be a feral Friday fellow Seibertronians. As reported yesterday we've got a burning Matrix powered meteor of a special Masterpeice heading our way - MP-38+ Burning Convoy! The article we posted yesterday is now updated with images of Primal's, er, Convoy's beast mode. Mirrored below are all the hot details we brought to you yesterday, now updated with the beast mode images. Enjoy!

Thanks to an unexpected source in the form of Previews World, we now have some new stock photos for the recently announced MP-38+ Burning Convoy!

Burning Convoy is a redeco of the MP-32 mold in a garish translucent red in homage to the original Burning Convoy toy, based on the color Optimus Primal AKA Beast Convoy took when he and Lio Convoy united to defeat Majin Zarak in the Beast Wars II Movie. This redeco is the MP-32 repaint since it does not come with the Mutant Mask that MP-38 did.

This figure is set to be available in March of 2020 for the reasonable price of $111.99. Check out the product description and photos below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

From Hasbro Toy Group. Takara pays homage to the Beast series with MP-38 Masterpiece Burning Convoy! A redeco of the Masterpiece MP-32 Optimus Primal, this figure pays homage to the Burning Convoy redeco of the original limited-edition Optimus Primal released as a promotion for the Beast Wars Special movie! Transforms from robot to gorillla and includes 2 cyber blades, and 4 alternate face plates for Beast and Robot Mode. Concealed cannons can be revealed when in bot mode in his arms and shoulders. Features removable/replacable face masks, and his tell-tale swords, this is a Masterpiece not to be missed!
In Shops: Mar 25, 2020
Final Orders Due: Oct 07, 2019
SRP: $111.99

And here's the new images posted to the TakaraTomy Mall.

Why is the head blue?
It's not supposed to be blue.

Yes it is. It's blue in the movie.

You're gonna tell me his head is blue here?

Doesn't look like it to me.
Very dark blue. Perhaps, but certainly not what's on the MP.

Admittedly, there are no good quality images from the movie since there exists no HD remaster of the movie.

That's not from the movie. That's from some old magazine.

I think the disparity might be due to the original toy...

Doesn't need to be HD for me to tell that it's still not blue.
People posted those screenshots over at TFW too.
Again, if it's a very dark blue, I could see that being the case.

So yeah, very dark blue.
MP is still the wrong shade.

I guess the colors for this guy must have been picked by the same guy that thinks Galvatron is pale lavender

Posted: **Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:33 pm**

Seeing this today with the new images, I actually like it more now. I wish he had some more gold and some less bright blue on his head, but he's still looking pretty good.

Placing a pre-order for him now
