Attention Masterpiece collectors! A listing in BigBadToystore got our attention since it’s about a possible Masterpiece MP-38+ Burning Convoy.
What is this about? Optimus Primal made a special appearance in the Japanese exclusive Beast Wars II Movie where he teamed up with Lio Convoy. Both got power-up versions, with Optimus Primal (named Convoy in Japan) now in vibrant red colors. This special red version was also released as a figure using the original Optimus Primal mold in 1998 in Japan, and then using the Robot Masters Optimus Primal mold in 2004.
The new listing and name may suggest that a red redeco of the Masterpiece Optimus Primal mold is in the works. It also indicates an expected release date on March 2020. As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation.
In the mean time, you can sound off your impressions on the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah, I mean the whole plot is about the bad guy uncovering a weapon with the potential of domination which he demonstrates to the good guys, in the end though the bad guy loses control of the weapon and it begins to do its own thing, but right in the nick of time a black and red hero emerges and helps the main hero put an end to the threat by becoming powerful and glowing, unfortunately though, once the danger is over, said black and red hero is no longer with the main cast. And that's just a basic analysis of the beast wars 2nd movie

this movie was release before sonic adventure 2 so technically the copy is sonic hahaha
Master Farr
Well it was because this scene reminded me a lot of sa2, in fact the plot is pretty similar to sa2

Well, with the AE pre-order window closed, it's definite for me that I'm not getting it. (AE is the cheapest option for me.)
Truth be told, I was kind of considering getting it, but only because I was looking at ways to make it more the way I'd want it to be. Changes like painting the head gold and perhaps painting the inside of the body parts metallic silver (which could result in a sort of chrome effect).
But at the same time I thought this was a stupid waste of money.

It’s official; it’s from the Japanese TV-magazine which uses official artwork (as well as the picture I posted in this thread).

I don\'t know why I want this? Still gotta get bw megs 1st tho. Yes

Here's a rebuttal this thread has been missing
Master Farr
We shouldn't have to paint something like this ourselves, there's personal preferences and then there's just being lazy, and this is unfortunately the latter
Can you make the gold a dark orange too? That gold is really terrible in my opinion
The head is still black and the gold is actually orange in all those frames.

I don't believe this is true. Isn't it from a Japanese magazine (like Figure King, Hyper Hobby, or Dengeki Hobby)?

Hope the gorilla also looks good

I can't help but think you're being slightly rude. I know about the toy. I don't assume that you aren't a well-versed fan of the toys or show. But you assume I don't know things. That's fine. I know quite a lot about TFs. Maybe more than I've ever been willing to tell anyone in the real world lol.
Again. I know about the toy. I was collecting BWII when they were on shelves. But this isn't a 'I have a bigger fanhood than you do' is it?
You want that iconic toy? Then you can buy one. You want gold on the forearms and chest of the MP like the toy had? Cool. That's cool brother. But 38+ doesn't have that does it? TT decided to go with the majority of onscreen frames from their animated movie didn't they? That's what I want. Hopefully that doesn't ruffle any feathers.
I just want to put an end to people posting that fan art and saying incorrect things like this

It's becoming laborious to tell people this.
GAUGE
wait, is this one based on "official" inclosistant art too?

A can't help but think you don't know about these iconic toys.
But, at least you know now. I hope I helped out a little. 
Anyway, would be cool if the Monkey Mode Had Gold chest Hair Tempo Graph and some Gold Flame-Shaped Fur Tempo Graphs on the forearms.
