Doesn't particularly interest me, but if I ever did get one, I'd take a photo of him beating the tar out of one of the Mini-Con Star Sabre teams; cos as the saying goes...

I think this is one of those rare (or not so rare) cases where the grey prototype is gonna look better than the finished product

I still kinda want one though, it's like a non-transformable figure that you can fold away and fit conveniently in your pen cup or desk drawer.

Yeah. A pen made up of random red and blue kibble is hardly going to look like a robot in disguise.

Thats cool, will have to get one.

Very posable and Revoltechish.
Don't like Prime as a pen tho.

Not sure if this has been posted before... as I couldnt find it...

but anyway... Another Convoy transforming to a Pen

That's the same one, just some different robot poses. Damn ugly looking pen I have to say. Doesn't look comfortable on the slightest!

Looks nice.

going to give the benefit tof the doubt and say that BBTS have just marked up the price ridiculously because they are BBTS.

It may depend on the purchasers perspective - is this a convoy that happens to have an alt mode as a pen, in which case they could probably convince completists to part with a higher amount. But if this is a pen (a very ordinary and small looking pen) that converts to a very posable but very plastic looking convoy (I know its only at prototype stage but given the size scale, there just isn't that much material and good paint job only covers so much) I don't see how they can expect people to part with $55 USD, plus postage.

For me, if it was about $20 postage included I'd be in, but at this price point, I'm both disappointed and out.

I'm not sure that 'useability' is really the point here.

I'm actually more concerned about how they're integrating the 'pen' function into the toy. If it's a replaceable pen/pen-holder-type deal then that's cool, but if the pen is part of the toy such that once it runs dry then that's not so good IMO.

And yeah, hope it's way cheaper than that. I'd be willing to go up to 3000円 or so but $55 is a tad steep.
