Transformers MP-4S Convoy Sleep Mode (Dead Optimus)

I see dead people...

Nice pics and details. I like the look of the trailer. The robot mode looks creepy though... in those 'dead' colours.

Oh it's faded grey maroon in person.

The promo pics made it look much more like a Nemesis Prime ish repaint.

Yeah, it's like greyscale, but with just a hint of the original colours (red and blue) left in it.

"It's custom faded?"

"It's custom faded?"

Kinda, it's like MP-4/1 but the tone has been shifted to a really dark tone, resulting almost a black but not quite!

He is joking...

Recently received this figure. Didn't really want two black MP Primes, but wanted the transparent trailer, so eventually caved.
The 'dead' colouring of the red and blue is really eerie, almost creepy when you cast your mind back to that scene from the movie and how it made kids feel at the time. I think if this sort of toy was released during the 1986 movie, there would have been a lot of kids crying in the toy stores, and this would have been a major shelf-warmer.
