Beasties...where black is beautiful

Beast...

Frankly, I know nuts about Beasties, have no clue about Beast Wars whether it's the storyline or the toy range... not even a fan of the cartoon series...

Then, I came across the listing of all 3 Big Convoys on ebay. An opportunity to collect all 3 in one swoop...wanna complete a mold, might as well do it one shot. Besides, it's the Beast version of Optimus Prime and being a Prime collector, I thought why not...

There was no turning back...no regret though as the mold is just SUPERB!!! In addition, just flip open the chest panel and nicely housed is the Energon Matrix! Apparently, this matrix is the first-ever removable accessory.

So, Roarrr, Grrrrr....presenting Beast Wars Neo Big Convoys :


1. Sonokong Big Convoy (top) : this is the Korean (cheaper) version of the Takara Big Convoy.

2. Hasbro TFU Nemesis Prime (bottom right) : another redeco under the Universe banner.

3. Takara exclusive Black Big Convoy (bottom right) : packaged in the standard Takara Big Convoy packing, with a gold sticker indicating it is the Black Big Convoy...what a convenience... another redeco but with awesome color scheme of black with a touch of gold on its arms, chest and legs. Black is just sheer beauty...this has to be one of the better looking Prime mold produced so far...

Just check out the pics below with all 3 Convoys (in sequence 1-2-3) in different poses with their Big Cannon (made out of the beast head and tail) in different variations :



Don't you think Black is beautiful?
