Another Tokyo Toy Show, another Black Convoy in the Transformers Legends EX line. That’s the rumor we have for you here.
Malaysian store Toonshoppe has sent out an email soliciting a new Tokyo Toy Show exclusive. The name is given as LG-EX Black Convoy with a release of late June. If this feels like deja vu, don’t worry, as we saw this two years ago year with the release of the Reveal the Shield mold as a Black Convoy, also as a Tokyo Toy Show exclusive.
Takara-Tomy seems to have a habit of offering Black Convoys as Tokyo Toy Show exclusives, so we’ve little reason to doubt this report, or the possibility that it will be a black, silver, and teal version of the recent Titans Return Voyager. We anticipate confirmation will come in the next few days, most likely via Takara-Tomy Mall listing preorders, or a piece on display at the weekend’s Winter Wonderfestival.

They\'ve always make a Black Convoy. They also make a clear one, a red one, a lucky draw one. Not really new news.

Okay, who's going to release TR Megatron in RID Bludgeon colors to go with this guy? Or is a KB Toys exclusive from 15 years ago a long shot for a new figure?

The more I look at it, I think the cab itself is actually smaller on the Voyager Prime mold when put next to the cab of the Deluxe Black Convoy. I'll just have keep him in alt mode when next to Baldigus
This is actually how I justify MakeToys Giant next to the Voyager FansProject Dinobots; they're only in robot modes when the Constructions are separated. Their dino modes themselves otherwise look ok next to the combined Giant. And the individual Deluxe-sized Constructicons feel right next to Voyager Dinobots in robot mode.

I know that your preference sounds totally logical.. but I'm thinking Scourge's scale to Baldigus should be smaller ..
Maybe I can still score the tinier Spycharger one to contrast the combine might of the bigger, badder UW Baldigus… heh heh..
Look at him! So tiny and so in scale!
Edit: Any kind folks can PM me if they have a spare RID Spycharger Scourge junker/ loose toy lying around?! I kinda want on now that I think about it to go with UW Baldigus! Please and thank you!

Wasn't initially going to get this but with UW Baldigus coming, I'm now in need of a Black Convoy that is similar in size to Dolrailer.
That deluxe mold will no longer cut it.

Yup, I dont think Takara will release this mould as G2 Laser Prime, since Hasbro has already done theirs. Takara will just skip that release and come out with their Tokyo Toy show 2017 Black Convoy/ Scourge repaint.
@OP who said this was fake news earlier.. where is the justification/ proof of your story and facts to back up your claims? I'm just curious. Not flaming.

You're going to be sleeping forever. Hasbro's been doing remolds, not repaints, of the TR Voyagers. We've gotten Laser Optimus, and we will be getting Octane, but I think that's going to be it from Hasbro.
If it makes you feel any better, I have a feeling Takara won't be doing Laser Optimus from this mold.
Black Convoy
Yes, please!

Dammit Takatom show us pics of Black Convoy already!

Yep buy America. Make America Great Again!!!

Well, guess I won't be getting this one, rip. There's no way it'll be within my price range. Ah well, I only really wanted this mold for Tankor, but I could've been swayed by a more affordable scourge/nemesis prime option.

Aiyoh.. not sure a good or bad thing sieh?

Goddamn, mr wingsaber x, you're from the same area as me?
[Wing_Saber-X]
Nope its not a fake rumor. Why do you doubt the source when this is clearly legit/ real?
rooker
It\'s Fake? that is rumor false.
[Wing_Saber-X]

The My Little Pony hair clips really make this figure pop!
Also, nice paint job!

Super Ginrai would make a great black convoy,
Here is an example I painted up with powermaster prime.

Hmm no idea why they rotated..
But the Voyager is the logical choice since it is the correct type of truck and is inspired by G2 laser prime. If it ever comes out in Australia I am so doing a custom
