Ehobby have revealed a new exclusive redeco Transformers toy - Magna Convoy - which is a blue/black version of the 2006 Voyager Optimus toy, with a new sword and gun.

It is scheduled for release in May 2017, for 7000yen (about AU$82), with the pre-order period in January.

Edit: it's nice, I'll probably get it, but the choice of accessories is a bit lacking and also this mold? I mean hey, better late than never, but yeah. Would've liked a CW Prime in Delta Magnus colours tho but hey can't always get what you want I suppose!

According to tfwiki, this toy is coloured to homage the cab (only) of the Delta Magnus toy, which was based on the pre-Transformers Diaclone toy Powered Convoy.

It notes that the cab was a non-sentient drone, which has now been given life, and a name (Magna Convoy).

The two weapons are the sword from TR Alpha Trion, and the gun from TR Mindwipe.

Funnily enough, the eHobby ConvoBat doesn't have a blue tail/shield-thing that the regular Mindwipe toy comes with, making this the only way to get a blue tail/shield-thing for ConvoBat?

I had a quick look at the two, & the shield that comes with powered convoy seems a bit darker than the blue used on convo?

Yeah true, but I suppose, aside from doing your own painting, that's the best you're gonna get.

that could just be different exposure values for the photos. Hard to tell without seeing them both in the same photo.
