    The 2004 version of the Burning Convoy toy was called "Supreme Commander", so that would be the most logical:



    If MP-38 is him, I wonder if they'll try to replicate the gun:



    EDIT: Looking again at TFU.info, the 1997 Clear Convoy toy was also given the title of "Supreme Commander", but TT are probably going to go for the Burning Convoy because he appeared in the Japanese 'toons.

    Almost every Convoy is called "Supreme Commander" (総司令官). That's the default Function for every Autobot or Maximal leader.
    Original G1 Convoy (1985)
    Rodimus Convoy (1986)
    Fortress Maximus (1987)
    Ginrai (1988)
    Star Sabre (1989)
    Dai Atlas (1990)
    Star Convoy (1991)
    G2 TRF-1 Convoy (1994)
    Battle Convoy (1995)
    Convoy (BW) (1997)
    Lio Convoy (1998)
    Big Convoy (1999)
    Convoy (Micron Legend) (2003)
    Grand Convoy (2004)
    MP1 Convoy (2004)
    Galaxy Convoy (2005)
    Convoy (Henkei! Henkei!) (2008)
    Ultra Magnus (Animated) (2010)
    MP9 Rodimus Convoy (2011)
    MP10 Convoy (2011)
    ---et al.

    So simply being called "Supreme Commander" isn't anything special, at least, not in a way that would really tell us what kind of redeco this is. Although Convobat's Function is アマゾン戦士 (Amazonian Warrior), so the "Supreme Commander" Function may mean that it's not going to be Convobat.

    Sure, but we know it's obviously not going to be Supreme Commander Grand Convoy given the price point and the fact that it's an Optimus Primal repaint or retool, so we can only guess what logically the figure may be given the history of the toys and 'toons.

    As you noted, Convobat is "Amazonian Warrior" so we can pretty much rule him out and other non-BW characters, so all we can do now is hold onto our d!cks until pics come out.

    Which means we've narrowed it down to ... gorilla Convoy ...

    Which we already knew, since it's going to be a redeco of MP Beast Convoy. What I'm saying is that the "Supreme Commander" tag line tells us nothing more about what this redeco is going to be. It certainly doesn't mean that it's going to be Burning Beast Convoy. I do think that Burning Convoy is the most logical choice, but we cannot deduce that simply from the "Supreme Commander Version" tag line.

    Yeah, alone the title was never going to be the smoking gun evidence that it will be a certain deco, it was just one avenue of inquiry in the absence of evidence.
