I would like to see the truck get reused with new trailers for various repaints. Ginrai, Ultramagnus etc... If they just do a straight repaint, I am sure everyone will be disappointed.... again.

I can easily see them doing Ultra Magnus, but Ginrai might be a little harder. As odd as the Transformation of the figure was with the false cab chest he actually transformed that way on the show, too, with a cab on both the front and back. It'd be very hard to make MP Convoy into an a accurate MP Ginrai.

People keep bringing up Ginrai/Powermaster Prime but honestly just how popular was that Prime/character? In North America we got the toy and I think it showed up in the comic but not in any of the cartoons while in Japan that wasn't even Convoy but a human who would merge with a Convoy body. For me personally Powermaster Prime would be near the bottom of my list of MP's. I could see a Ultra Magnus and then perhaps a retro Powered Convoy being made but personally if their gonna make anymore Autobot leaders I rather see Star Saber.

Honestly a lot of the PM Prime concept sucked, from the show to the actual toy. I remember being a kid, and wishing I had gotten another G1 Prime instead of PM. The concept itself was awesome though, and a lot of illustrations and made the idea more awesome. If they did a PM prime, I would hope they did not try and do a G1 throwback but instead a new realization perhaps based on this new Prime.

I loved Powermaster Prime, I own 3 of them (two G1s and one Takara Ginrai reissue). As Powermaster Prime I'd be fine with it being just a MP Prime with extra armor, but I think the Japanese would balk at that idea. He was basically the central character of Masterforce and would be rebuilt later as Victory Leo in Victory. Plus the figure we call Alternators Optimus Prime was originally going to be Ginrai in Japan and still considered a human, but the figure was canceled and released as Convoy in Kiss Players, though repainting the distinctive blue Ginrai arms. His popularity stands pretty solid over there just the same.

That clear transluscent yellow plastic highlight on OP's briefs, the painted side-mirrors and the figure accesories make for really nice accents......still doesn't trump MP-01 or MP-04 in my books but nice enough for me to consider picking up if I didn't have MP-01 already.

If they do a TRU exclusive, I will likely get it.

Wow. Seeing them side by side makes me sure that I prefer MP1 to this. It still looks cool though. I would have liked to seen more of a hybrid of the two designs. MP1 legs would have made it so much better.

Not to fond of the head design but everything else looks good although Primes Laser Rifle looks to small for me. I wonder if the iGear head would fit on this body?
