*A correction to my news post the other day: Black Convoy was apparently never released at Wonderfest last year as an exclusive.

I'll go ahead and pass and just stick with RID Scourge...

Actually, most of the earlier black repaints of Optimus Prime had Autobot Symbols and red windows. It wasn't until RiD that the Black Prime was a Decepticon.

I haven't been this excited for a toy in a long time. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it. Ever since I first saw RiD Scourge I've been crazy for black Prime repaints. While SDCC Nemesis Prime didn't quite do it, this one is near perfect.
Please let it be under $70...

Considering the Exclusive seekers have been 80+, if this comes out, it's probably going to at least be 100.00 USD.

Dang, I hadn't thought of that... I guess I'll have to see when preorders are announced. I was able to preorder Thundercracker for about $45 USD plus shipping from FantoFan.

Red window is common, not red chest though, probably.
Nucleon Quest Convoy was red chest with bot symbol but not named Black Convoy.
The other earlier black repaints didn't have red chest in bot mode, whatever the name.

Lately, the term "Black Convoy" is starting to be used to refer to Optimus Prime's Black Body upgrade, rather than the old meaning of the term: an evil Optimus Prime clone (a la Nemesis Prime).
If this really is another Black Body Optimus, then I wish they would start using the name "Convoy black" instead of "Black Convoy" as it confuses many people.

Still it seems the best Classics Black Convoy is still RiD Scourge, if you don't have him yet buy him now.
