xiaotao78925 of TFClub has posted a wide selection of images from the Japanese C3×HOBBY 2008 convention. On display at the convention is the upcoming Alternity GT-R Convoy (silver version) in all his glory. Also shown was a dazzling red and orange “Exile Perfect Year 2008” rendition of the Convoy IPod docking station, a very cool display showing off all of the Transformers Henkei toys alongside the original G1 versions of the characters, and an equally awesome Masterpiece Thundercracker display.
Nevermore of our 2005 Boards also informs us that the Henkei Stuntron Wildrider, exclusive to the C3XHobby Convention, has been released. This cool repaint of Henkei Hot Rod(imus) also has a clever pun in its name – while most Transformers Henkei releases are called “Henkei! Henkei! Transformers” (literally, Transform! Transform! Transformers” Stuntron Wildrider is “Gentei! Gentei! Transformers” (literally, “Limited Edition! Limited Edition”).

It's too bad no-one is apparently able to properly credit Autobase Aichi, despite the blatant watermark on the photos.

What's with all the hate for naming him Convoy? Many car enthusiasts consider the Skyline GTR to be among the greatest Japanese Supercars in terms of Power and Performance. IMO, it suits Convoy just fine……….Rodimus Convoy that is.

that is a pretty cool lookin' toy.

Yep, not a Convoy at all. But then again "Covoy" have proven to be just about anything from Apes to Helicopters. So maybe, no Optimus Prime.

Looks really cool. Must have for me since I'm a big GTR fan.

The artwork for Convoy looks distinctly Dreamwave in style. Hmm…

Hey it's a GoBT Prime!
Looks a bit like Searchlight to me. Blue head, yellow faceplate? Throttlebot Searchlight right there really. >.>

Want! But cannot afford for the life of me… Wonder what it'll look like in the usual red and blue…

It's cool. Stupid idea to call it Convoy. I'll give him a different name when I get him.

Is it just me, or does it look like they reused the hips and thighs from movie Ironhide?
Socialvegetable
Apparently so. I've been gone for a while and a quick perusal turned up nothing. At least the pictures are from slightly different angles at least!
My bad.

Wasn't this already posted with the rest of the C3 X Hobby 2008 coverage?

Monkey-Hands

I think I'm gonna prefer it in red, but thats still real nice.

Love it! I'll just call him Alternity. Suits him better than Convoy
