Thanks to Japanese Toy reviewer Tagoal, we have in hand images of LG-EX Black Convoy and LG-EX Armada Megatron; both were exclusives at the Tokyo Toy Show this pass weekend. Tagoal’s detailed images shows off both figures in their full glory in Robot Mode and Vehicle Mode. In Black Convoy’s case, he was shown together in comparison shots with Transformers United Laser Optimus Prime. Armada Megatron was shown together with TakaraTomy Legends G1 Megatron, Hasbro Generations Armada Megatron, and finally the original Micron Legends Megatron. We also get a glimpse of the comic included in the instruction booklet illustrated by Hayato Sakamoto. Check out some key shots for both figures after the jump, and hit Tagoal’s site for the rest!

This is another example of the low quality of Transformers nowadays. How is possible that a Micron Legends Megatron has a much better plastic that a new Megatron of this year 2015, and it even had electronics and several gimmicks.
Now we have a more articulated Megatron with hollow pieces and cheap plastic.

That takara Armada Megatron just looks better and better the more I look at it, I love the color scheme he just looks so evil. This figures definitely replacing my Hasbro version, for me the only good thing about the Hasbro version's color scheme is the head sculpt since both the purple face and red horns are accurate to how he looked in the Dreamwave Comics.

Yeah, Hasbro's Armada Megatron is a better representation of the actual toy while Takara's version is more show accurate.
I don't really care about toy or show accuracy, I just go with what looks better and Takara's version wins the prize here.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad I ordered this now. Can't wait to get it in the mail! And at 39.99 at most websites, the price alone makes it worth it over trying to buy the collector's club version.

Track to Robot.
Seriously these two look amazing. The manga it comes with looks fun too.

my favorite part is that scourge didn't get red highlights like the initial pics suggested. He just happens to be *MADE OF LIGHTPIPING* covered with paint

Whoops to me. I took user C310 Ginrai photo signature as the packaging mistake he was referring to..
Still want my black C310…
God Ginrai
Huh? What? Did someone call my name?
Track to robot…heh.

GOD GINRAI… where have you been hiding!?!
So if I buy this… can I bring a lawsuit to demand my black God Ginrai!

Nah, Tankor and Demolishor have no resemblance whatsover, it wouldn't be Demolishor without his trademarked finger guns and shoulder missiles (Not to mention that the Tankor figure doesn't have Minicon ports to justify such repaint like what happened with Megatron and Armada Megatron).
Plus, considering how they're reinventing classic Armada characters it's pretty obvious that Demolishor should be next.

I'm still waiting for the Galvatron repaint of Armada Megs,

Takara's Armada Megatron looks great. However… and I'm mildly surprised to be saying this… seeing them side-by-side I actually think Hasbro's does a better job looking like the original figure. The black in the center of the chest, the grey head, the black ribs, the orange on the antlers… all of that seems a better match on Hasbro's version. The main thing the Takara version has going for it, IMO, is the gunmetal grey paint on the inside of the tread pieces, which looks great and much classier than Hasbro's unpainted green.
Both are very nice figures. I'll probably still pick up the Takara one as well. But I'm surprised how well Hasbro actually nailed the colors on theirs (oh, and I'm speaking as someone who does not own the original Armada Megatron, so I think the faithfulness of this figure didn't hit me till seeing the side-by-side pics).

Looks good!
Black Convoy
Got my Black Convoy from Robotkingdom. It's just been shipped today. As a fan of the character, I prefer this deco to the OTCC Scourge which I also own.
Armada Megs looks great too, but I pass

When are retailers supposed to have these in stock?
