Love it! I always appreciate references to the more obscure corners of the franchise.

The Megatron shirt is fun.

I kinda want a hat.

I've played Mystery of Convoy. People are not exaggerating. I didn't beat it. I do not recommend it. I'm glad I experienced it.

I've got a cart at home. My mate got it for me for my birthday.

Thanks to "Da King Rocka" for the info!

Oooh, I want some of that stuff.

I've got one of those Chinese KO mini-Nintendos with a bunch of built-in games that has Mystery of Convoy. Have never been able to make it too far into the game.

First time I used a working NES emulator on a computer (the wonderfully-titled NESTicle), I tried out Mystery of Convoy. Well, once I'd found the ROM image 'somewhere' on the web. It was better than the contemporaneous British-made Transformers game on the ZX Spectrum, at least...

 

[Exatron]

I never made it very far in the game either. There were tons of really hard NES games, but this one was on the absurd level.

I'd be interested in getting that Rodimus if it's reasonably easy to get. Don't think I'm going to put in too much effort trying to track one down, though.

 

[Blot]

Oooh, I want some of that stuff.

Just remember when ordering clothing from Japan to get at least the next size up.

Kodansha Legend-Scale Megatron

"
The Real Complete Transformer Fanbok 2025". Comparisons with ordinary products.

The product was a change in the specification of the core class Megatron released at WFC Kingdom in 2021. Unlike previous FANBOOK Mother's core class Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were cleared, they were usually released in coloring close to their products.

Particularly noticeable differences came as the normal product and gunmetal part became silver molding, approaching the general image of megatron. The black molding color is blacker. The new colour scheme have removed the usually yellow 'dish' and other panels on the belly and the finer paint of the red and belly panels on the side of the belly is missing.

Although not mentioned in this product description, the attached handgun can be attached to the back in robotic mode, recreating the barrel of the G1 megatron's back."

Mine's on its way today, alongside my white/grey Monster Hunter Prime, so I'll post some images if I can MUCH later today after work (or tomorrow if they don't deliver it).

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I get that it's basically a freebie, but the lack of paint is sad. There was a worthwhile idea here.

In going to paint the missing red and metallic details on mine later.
