Well I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
A Masterpiece
Rodimus Convoy repaint was always in the cards, and what better colors to repaint the figure in, than black. This
e-Hobby exclusive has Rodimus decked out in black, teal and purple flames. The figure isn't on a 'night-time' mission like recent Bumblebee or Optimus Prime repaints. Much like other
Black Rodimus repaints, he's a Decepticon, and likely an evil-clone. Set for release this November, commence drooling below.

alt modes look EPIC, but the colors dont trasnlate so well to the robot mode. just looks kinda garrish I guess.

I like it when they splash some color in with the black, looks pretty nice.

Huh, very colorful. I like the vehicle mode a lot more than the robot mode. Not bad for a black repaint, but I can easily pass.

I'm not a fan of teal but that looks really good. If I were collecting the MPs I'd definitely pick this piece up.

Looks awesome, hope when they release use the v2 mold of MP-9 so the corrections to the trailer and joints were corrected. Damn another MP to my collection. e-Hobby trow an evil targetmaster to that MP.

Repaint is awesome !!! Concept is stupid. I wanna slap the creator of the "evil clone" idea. Tempted to buy it though just to sit on my coffee table. But thats a lotta photo shop touch up. Ill wait for the real pics, and the price...

Price from eHobby is 17640 Yen, which translates to about $219.
I agree with others that I like the alt mode much, much more than the bot modes, but for that kind of money I think I've gotta pass.

Wow, I love the look of this figure. I wish they'd do him with the exact same deco in Classics (I know they released the Shattered Glass one and Wildrider but I'd love to see this paint job get done for the Classics Rodimus).
With Prime and Rodimus version 2 coming out this year, my budget is already tied up so I'll be reluctantly giving it a miss.

I'm with the majority that thinks this looks nice enough, but not worth dishing out the dough. I've come to regret both my unnecessary deco MP purchases in Ghost Starscream and Black Convoy. Those also look pretty cool, but they're just too big and not significant enough to warrant the space they consume. If only I could get anywhere close to what I paid for them I'd happily unload them.

Rodimus Prime on July 4th, 2011 @ 9:24am CDT
Wow, yeah the colors are great. I think i will get it, as I have no need for the newer Prime or Rodimus. But this looks good. Of course, there will be no release of Hot Rod only, right? Honestly, I don't want the trailer, it's freaking huge. I am running out of space. but that robot mode is looking better and better. In the end, I will probably cough up the $200, but hopefully I will get lucky like I did with MP-09. Either way, it's mine. I will make room.

Oh my God. That's the BEST black repaint of Rod I've ever seen. Give him a goatee and I'd be swooning!
Hell, as it is it's making me strongly consider revising my "I've stop collecting" policy.

I don't collect the straight "redecoed for the sake of redeco" figures, but if I did, this would be a must buy, as they've taken the traditional, bland black repaint and given it some character, especially in altmode. Gorgeous.

O.K. so now I've changed my mind- I'll get the Habro MP Hot Rod, and this version of Roddy instead of the other. The color Scheme is working for me. It does remind me of Motormaster......

The alt mode is fantastic. Would love to dedicate a shelf to it... if I can spare the $.

Too much blue IMHO. I'd much rather see a deco like the flames on Shattered or Breakdown versions.
BUT, I love that the visor down makes him look like a different character a bit. You can kinda give him a different head sculpt. Niiiiiiice.

this is the first black rodimus/hot rod that i dont like, i think its the blue it just throws off the entire figure.

The only thing I don't care too much for is the turquoise on the chest but the toy itself may be another shade.
This would be my first black repaint so I'm a little intimidated to get this train going.

e-Hobby has updated their
listing for MP-9B Black Rodimus Convoy to reveal the first shot of the upcoming figure's packaging. The listing also mentions an exclusive comic written by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. However, if past e-Hobby exclusives are any indication there is a good chance the comic will not be included with imported figures. The packaging image is mirrored below.

Yeah, I'm getting this. I have nearly all of the MP figures and for some reason I'm just drawn to that over the top teal color. I just hope that he's the "fixed" version and not the original version of the mold.

Yeah, this. I can deal with the darker reds/greys for standard Rodimus if it means I can splurge on the black version.

I really like this figure, and since I originally passed the first time around not wanting the trailer with Rodimus, this is a definite YES.
