Black TF-01Convoy

CONVOY (TF-01) Black Version

I decided to add this information and photos to the existing TF-01 Convoy page since it's just a new colored version which has the exact same contents of the first-issue.

This is the Black Version of Convoy featured at JAF-CON on the 30th of July, 2000. It is the same re-issued Convoy TF-01 with the only change being its color. There is a black and gold sticker on the front of his box which identifies it as a black version Convoy.

The photo on the right shows Convoy without any stickers applied. Actually, the only stickers that were pre-applied are the silver strips across his torso and forearms. I don't think I'll apply the stickers since it looks better without them.

Here's a close-up shot of Convoy with his black helmet with silver mask and forehead piece. Kind of evil-looking with his yellow painted eyes eh?

This is a truly awesome re-paint! There's something about a black vehicle that looks so much better in my opinion. As with the original, the blue & white with red Autobot stickers across the trailer was pre-applied.

I don't recall how many Convoy's were actually produced, but I know Figure King magazine listed 500 pieces were available at Wonder Festival last month. This Convoy has also made it's appearance at the Wonder Festival & Toy Festival in Tokyo on August 20th, and the next ToysLand festival in Osaka on the 24th of September. I believe this version is limited to 2000 pieces total. So if you haven't picked one up yet I suggest you do before the prices climb even higher than the selling price of 5000Yen. Many thanks to Felix Lu of Fantasiatoyz for providing me with this exclusive re-paint!
