Today we are going to take a look at a figure I’ve had for a bit but who’s gallery got pushed back due to SDCC and related events. At this year’s Tokyo Toy Show a repaint of Titans Return Laser Prime was released in Car Robots / RID2001 Black Convoy colors. This is fitting because the original Black Convoy in Car Robots was a repaint of the original G2 Laser Prime. As many of you may know, Car Robots / OG Robots in Disguise is my jam, so I had to get him.
Overall it’s a really well executed repaint – the colors and tampos work well. His size and stance work much better with the recently released Unite Warriors Baldigus (RID2001 Ruination) box set than the previous Generations Laser Prime mold does. If you are a fan of the original Robots in Disguise series, Laser Prime, Black Primes or SCOURGE – he is definitely worth a pick up. If you are a fan of Nemesis Primes – then hit the bricks, you don’t deserve this. 🙂

I'm soooo glad I checked out this gallery. Now that both baldigus and scourge are in my possession, they're both awesome! Scourge is just beautiful, and baldigus is fantastic. I wish the rest of the combiners had included these hands and feet.

DAMN YOU TONY!!! These shots made me order both scourge and baldigus. Lol. They just look so awesome together.

Looks great. Looking forward to getting him soon.

I bought UW Ruination BEFORE I ever saw the show and I LOVE his colors and went back and watched all the episodes of RiD2001 featuring him.
I passed on all of the versions of this mold in anticipation of getting a proper Scourge to go with my Ruination!

It's tough having to curate. Makes for a cleaner looking collection but means passing on some great figures.

I'm in the same boat, I only grab non-MP scale stuff if it's RID related, or an occasional in-out purchase anymore.

This is one of those totally awesome releases I'd be all over if I still collected figures this scale. Looks amazing!

The more I look at the figure, the more I wish there was a Toxitron redeco of it.

Welp I know my next buy
SPLIT LIP
Whoa, that looks like one of those TF:TG Decepticon drones.

You are right, I had that on my agenda but forgot once I started the group shots. Fixed. I added shots of it and the drone mode starting here:
Black Convoy (Tokyo Toy Show 2017) – Reflector @ TFW2005

This, ironically, just made me want Baldigus even more.
Wonderful gallery, though. Scourge looks really damn great here.

Oh what a coinkidink…I so happen to have an extra one….heheh.
ORIO
Dammit. Now I kinda want this too
UltraPrimal
What? No shots of the base mode? Disappointed.
Windsweeper II
He's great. But i kinda wish some third party or someone on Shapeways would designs some system to clip wheels onto his shoulders.

I was originally uninterested but now I really want them……….I\'m starting to see a pattern in my purchases. I don\'t want it during the initial run, then I want it after the line is over. This is probably a huge problem, but I\'m gonna let it get to the point where I HAVE to do something, instead of SHOULD do something.
…oh, yeah, the gallery\'s awesome btw.

That reminds me…I need to bust mine out of his cardboard prison soon..
