Care of @Chromless on Twitter, we are able to share with you some in-hand images of this year’s Tokyo Toy Show exclusive Transformer, Black Convoy aka Robots in Disguise Scourge! The deco that launched a dozen black Optimus Prime repaints gets another outing at TTS2017, this time as a redeco of the Voyager class Optimus Prime mold from Titans Return. Scourge’s black and teal deco never fail to impress at making a toy shine, and this is no exception.
That’s not all, though, because the comic (scan courtesy of @singgg4 on Twitter) shows off a base mode for Black Convoy – one that the toy (and other versions of this mold) can easily pull off. Moreover, it is such a good representation of the base that the original toy’s trailer made that we’re going to go ahead and say the clever designers hid it in there as a bonus for fans.
You can check out a selection of images showcasing this new release, including the base mode, attached to this post.

I just happened to notice he's back in stock again at his normal price at BBTS and TFSource if anyone's still trying to snag one.

I'm just gonna patiently wait for a reissue, just like what they did for a couple of exclusives previously. Hope it happens though…
Doesn't sound promising.

We have a support group for that folly.

He isn't worth the crazy money he's going for. Lovely figure and I'm a massive fan of nemesis/grand scourge but not worth it.

Every time I see that UW Grand Scourge, I'm sorely reminded of folly in missing him. Now he's at sky high prices.

I got scourge for scourge. Sword was just a bonus. I had him combined for a while but prefer him as himself. Or nemesis prime as I call him.

Oh, that too. I forgot.

Or just get the Perfect Effect sword, modelled after the Fall of Cybertron one.

Not saying you can't get the ehobby sword…just saying there are better options.
If you're getting Grand Scourge, get it for Scourge, not just the sword…and fine a Perfect Effect solution for that combined mode too, while you're at it. Sheesh…that design makes Volcanicus actually look properly proportioned.

I need that E-hobby Grand Scourge BH Sword for Volcanicus..

He definitely is very pretty. Amazing how far a little paint can take a figure. The wheels alone best all other versions.

Takes the pressure off me lol.
I might still try a photo at some point

Got this guy recently (back before around Thanksgiving, I think) and agreed that he's a great figure. Strangely enough, I was never that into black Prime repaints but after getting LG Black Convoy and MP-10B, I'm starting to rethink this. Now to track down a Baldigus/Ruination set.

I know this would have messed up his silhouette, but i think i would have preferred Scourge to have used Octane's wings. mainly since those look like wings capable of keeping the jet mode aloft vs the weird rectangular barely there wings of Prime.

Ninja'd!
I'll even throw in the 2015 LG-EX Black Convoy

I'll try and post up a photo of him with uw grand scourge when I can
[Wing_Saber-X]
Oh yes.

He's an awesome figure. Great colors. I picked him up on bbts and he arrived in mint condition. An absolute must have IMO.
