Hi guys n' gals,

Just thought I'd drop by and introduce myself:
I'm a 20 something yearold (ok,ok late 20's) father of 1 and confessed transformers fanatic, whos been loving the original series since he could walk.

To give you some back ground I've had TF's since I was old enough to nag mum and point to the shelves. however I never managed to get Optimus (too exxy for mum apparently :rolleyes: ) although later on I managed to get an awesome purple decepticon (cant remember his name) that turned from gorilla to plane to robot (with a mini robot plug in head) that I think is now in pieces after being passed down to my nephews, just like the rest of my collection.

I signed up here after nearly bidding (lame first time eBay user) on an Masterpiece Convoy 4. I've had my eye on one of these puppies since I first saw them in the UK (us battle dmg ver). But OMG the Takara versions are so much better.

I unfortunatly missed out on the Target run on these (which sold for <$100) :mad: and I'm ready to buy one to watch over the safety of my desk, the position is currently being held by wall-e. :p

So long story short I'm trying to get my hands on an Optimus Prime/Convoy 20th anniversary Masterpiece (4/1). In good condition in or out of a box with accessorys. It doesn't have to be Takara, but I do prefer that one.

I'm a cheapass, I'll tell you straight up (*not really, just thrifty and picky), :p that said I do want one badly, so any help reccomendations or known locations would be very helpful! (Not to mention appreciated!):D

TBH this will be my entire collection in one, so I went for what I consider to be the coolest TF ever.

Sorry about the long winded intro! I'll post again later with a description of all the TF's I've had and may still have tucked away in whats now grandmas toybox.

Much love JP

Welcome.
Sounds like that Tf you had that turned from gorilla to plane to robot (with a mini robot plug in head) was the Decepticon Headmaster, Apeface. A very cool toy in my opinion and expensive to get or find complete.

TheDirtyDigger is correct, that is indeed Apeface (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Apeface). The transformable head is called Spasma (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spasma). :)

Welcome to Ozformers!

Hope you find yourself an MP OP soon. If price-wise and you're not concern on having shorter smokestacks and other small details of the toy, perhaps you may also want to consider the Hasbro 20th OP DVD version (without the trailer) that could make a nice display on your desk especially if you're eyeing for the play factor. ASFAIK unlike the other versions, it comes with a cool "sound stage (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/masterpiece/optimus-prime-20th-anniversary-dvd/1152/2/166/)" that you can press and hear OP's voice/talk whenever you want. :D

Hi there!

I hope you do end up getting MP4 Convoy-there's something undeniably great about getting something you've been wanting for a while.
