What's interesting about how this color scheme is based on that of the truck that the sky spy scanned, is that the truck was originally colored the normal OP red. The animation reel became discolored over time, leading to later reuses of it looking more yellow. Which, in a way, means that yellowing is not just a TF toy problem, but a TF media problem as well.
Interesting conclusion
@@rafaelmarco9538 It's a fact.
I think it was always a little different, no? Every version I’ve ever seen, including those using the original broadcast masters, had it as dark orange but never straight up red same as OP
@SixoTF Yes, I think you're right actually; my mistake. I had remembered hearing somewhere that it was originally the same red as Optimus - which made sense at the time, because why would the animators bother picking a different color for that one bit of animation - but now I can't find any confirmation of that. Still, as you said, it was much more orange than ML Sentinel is, so the animation definitely became discolored.
@@Zonorheso oh 100%, I read that the Japanese version was essentially desaturated so that’s how we got this strange (but nice) colour
Yeah, I think his bio says he has a rust cannon, referencing his DOTM counterpart
@@theonewhowatches869 right
Wow I had no idea this was trying to reverence the truck that was scanned in G1; that’s such a fun homage but I’d love this figure even if it wasn’t homaging anything! I don’t care that some find it “pointless” I think just getting a new color scheme of this mold is cool enough, reminds me of like a long lost diaclone toy
Same here!
So the red faceplate is a reference to the IDW Sentinel, and apparently the yellow is due to the Japanese version of the broadcast having that weird kind of greenish tint compared to the original series that carried over to Scramble City and Headmasters.
I think the red face is probably also a nod to the TR toy. And yes the Jpn cartoon definitely had a lighter colour to the truck
"A modern e-hobby exclusive" is the perfect distillation of what this guy is. Just doing its own thing with fun new colors, not much more I could ask for!
Except it's WAAAAAAY to expensive and lacks the imaginative recolours of the stickers...
Agreed wholeheartedly
Could pass this off as a Missing Link Splendid Convoy.
Yep
Powered Convoy was Blue, and that's a color I'd love to see for a Missing Link Prime!
@@LodanSD that's one I would to see
Would be fun
@@SixoTF well he did appear in SOS Dinobots even though it was an animation error as I am watching it on Hasbropulse channel now😊
One thing that impressed me about the packaging for ML Prime was that you can put Roller back in the box with his wheels attached, which is a really nice attention to detail for collectors.
That is cool!
Well, some people collect the Convoy the same way others pick up every Darth Vader action figure. That’s how I see it. ;-)
Yep!
When you put Tigertrack next to it, I realized that a lot of G1 toys had a yellow version to go with a red version, such as Bumblebee and Cliffjumper getting both colors, as well as the Lambo brothers. I wonder if this color was chosen to continue that tradition.
Interesting idea!
Very excited for that revealed Missing Link Sunstreaker. Especially hoping for a Spinout recolor.
Same here!
I feel like this figure would look really amazing in a Diaclone display! Like a field commander Battle Convoy!
Likely true
Normie brain: This toy is based on the truck scanned for Optimus in the first episode
Cosmic brain: it’s the colors of Sentinel Prime from the G1 Marvel comics, complete with the green Creation Matrix
Ha yeah, that’s definitely part of it. They absolutely intended it to be the truck from the cartoon (they’ve confirmed as much in interviews) but there are also nods towards the many varied depictions of SP (including the comic)
I've always been a fan of the yellow/orange color scheme for Sentinel- the red faceplate stands out and certainly makes him have a presence! I lowkey wanna get this, if only I can find it for a justifiable price though.
Fair
I will always love the enthusiasm Sixo has. I am one of those folks that doesn’t particularly like this guy, but it’s awesome to see Sixo love it so much. It’s the spice of life for me.
That’s great to hear, thank you
This Sentinel feels a lot more working class. I dunno if it’s the denim jeans blue, the Construction yellow, or just the utility of the G1 truck mold. He seems nicer than most Sentinels
I haven’t considered that!
WHY DOES HE LOOK SO GOOD?!
Good question
I was saying to Russ, Pete & Simon the other day, that I would happily change my missing link convoy (toy deco) for this figure!
I'm not the biggest Optimus fan so this colour scheme works for me and is definitely on my radar
It’s so worth it imo
I think we can assume that this sentinel prime, is a version of him that did not died and dont passed the Matrix to optimus (as seem on the marvel comic. Sentinel appear briefly on the g1 cartoon but he is blue there), so he came to earth an take the truck form that optimus should have taken. This is actually pretty simbolic, and show that all the autobot leaders have the same atributes that maked them leader. So they probably will done always the same action on certain situaitions.
Nice idea
Iirc last year in a press release hyping up the 40th anniversary, something was said about CAD recreations of various G1 toys being made for merchandising purposes (presumably stuff like Retro Prime, Missing Link, Hot Wheels Prime, and the Optimus Skeeball game at the Hasbro arcade) so I suspect the trailers having the same issue can be traced back to that
Yeah in this case they have made new toolings of the trailer for both Missing Link and Retro (separate moulds) but there’s little doubt they share a CAD origin imo
Who wants this? Me too! Me and the five other Sentinel Prime fans.
Yeah!
Ngl I kinda like the fact that this guy feels so Generic compared to Optimus, which in turn makes Optimus, and Sentinel give off totally different vibes
Generic in what sense?
Like more formal, and militaristic
The matrix was usually depicted as green in the comics, iirc
It was
I enjoyed your review. you have so much enthusiasm for such a pointless recolor. 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it - and yeah, it could be named anything really but I like it as SP all the same
I really appreciate the comparison with Shining Magnus, does help sell that this guy isn't *completely* yellow, even if... he leans that way more than orange from the looks of it. It's a little frustrating since orange would match the cartoon truck better AND by happenstance Marvel Sentinel Prime, and I just don't care for yellow much honestly, but I'm still feeling a pull for such a novel repaint...
It’s pretty lovely!
IMHO, this type of repaint is worth collecting or keeping. They don't come by again since it's something uncommon.
Once it sells out and more people may want it and will be valuable in future.
100%. See every e-HOBBY exclusive haha
Unless a KO version comes out.
Ya, I'd display the KO and keep the og in box.
they're really gonna make me double dip on this mould by making it yellow/orange
and i'm all here for it
the green matrix is a really nice looking addition, wouldnt mind if the Legacy Deluxe was repainted into a version of this too
For sure
I got the toy-color version of Convoy, so I really wish there was a cab-only variant of Sentinel!
Fair enough
Great video! Man, I had ALL those E-Hobby repaints back in the day. Really regret having to sell them off. Hopefully they release some more Missing Link in those colors again!
Thank you!
Let's hope we get a ultra magnus repaint too maybe a nemesis prime as well?
Maybe
vintage Diaclone fans have been complaining about the trailer functionality over on TFW since the release of the standard colors
I’m sure
I hope this can pull off a Shining Magnus and temporarily be dirt cheap so I can actually afford one!
Haha maybe
Colors look lovely. Can’t wait to get mine
Nice
Literally such a masterpiece. Loooove it. Can not wait to get mine.
Enjoy!
@@SixoTF oh I will! I am hoping for a black, purple and blue mould!
This is awesome. Don't really watch Transformers reviews all the way through anymore but I watched this whole thing. Its an awesome figure. I am glad we are not getting the standard Nemesis, and Magnus and in modern terms the SG version..
Thank you for watching!
As far as weird animation homage primes go, I wonder if they'll ever do one with a deco based on the "It's not an autobot but it'll have to do" truck from Megatron's Master Plan. That one always stuck with me, probably because the episode sticks with me in general.
Oooh yeah
If it were up to me I’d have added a translucent red DOTM double sword just to go the extra mile.
Ooh love it
In the legacy line I do. This and toxitron repaints. But his head is yellow… meh I don’t care, it’s cool.
I want to get this so I can pretend it's Splendid Convoy (because I doubt we're getting a repaint of the Fire Convoy Haslab) but I'm not sure if I want to pay full price with the trailer
I did wonder if people might prefer it without the trailer
If they did a missing link Pepsi convoy I'd get that so fast
Same
I figured the first recolor / repaint would be white for the inner robot of Gen1 Ultra Magnus, I didn't see yellow coming at all, but it looks nice. - Maybe they'll keep on reusing the Optimus Prime / Convoy mold for the white Ultra Magnus, the blue Diaclone Powered Convoy ( Ultra Magnus ), and probably a black one for a death scene 1986 movie Optimus Prime. I'd also be waiting for another Pepsi version, maybe with trailer Pepsi decos or bottle carrier trailer too.
Hope so
Get some Megaconstrux figures. They are near scale and are articulated. They have military guys and halo stuff.
Cool
no way I'm getting this... yeah I'm getting this
Hahaha
Ha, didn't realize the black Prime came out before Nucleon quest Prime! Learn something new every day. Now I need to get that one as I thought I had the first black recolor 😅😅
Another great review Sixo, I think I'll skip but I'm less certain now 😅
Haha thanks! Yeah, technically the first Black Convoy was Lio Convoy in BW2 but in terms of G1, you could argue it was Jafcon
Yup, I would definitely argue that, lol! Jafcon is the first black Optimus Prime, for some reason I thought he came out in 2005.
Ah well, I've been wrong about a lot worse things :D
Great vid Sixo 👍
Heavy ehobby vibes on this fantastic item ❤
Thank you so much!
Remolding the head to resemble a different bit would go a long way to differentiate it from Optimus. Even adding a face instead of the face plate would be a simple enough change that would have been very welcomed.
I am personally very happy they didn’t but fair enough
yep, this one is getting ordered!
Nice
That’s the truck that tele Tran one used at the 1st episode of the transformers when they are awakened
Yep, talked about in the vid
Who wants this? I WANT THIS!
Haha right
I think anyone that sleeps on this will regret it down the line….I’m getting real “Shining Magnus” vibes from this one!
Same
Amazing video and collection.
@@y2kFUNtime thank you!
The compartments are made to fit the figures from the Diaclone reboot.
I speculated on this in the Retro Prime vid specifically but I’d love to know your source on this please, as it’s not something Hasbro has mentioned to me
Hey, why not flaunt it if you got it! Thanks for sharing these gems. Makes me think of the Exile Music Label OP with the yellow face. Another curious release. I'm glad they went for a diff deco and not just another Magnus, Nemesis, or SG colorway. Options are nice.
My pleasure! And yes, agreed
Looks like the toy could be called General Mustard Prime too
Sure
*Orange? This guy looks YELLOW.* Which i really dig. I'm a sucker for interesting and unconventional repaints. Especially Yellow. There's just something about yellow (G2 Tigerstrip Leader Grimlock, anyone?).
I agree which is why I love G2 and the Netflix Earthrise Prime (even tho it broke on me recently and I'm having to readd it into my collection)
It’s arguably burnt yellow yeah. I think I do say yellow a few times
I said once and I'll say it again. It's funny that takara wanted to sell the semi truck that telaran 1 scanned for Optimus prime but since it had no name they decided to name it sentinel prime
I think it’s more than it’s a blend of influences, that truck being one of them
I wish they'd make a regular g1 sentinal prime
Based on which version tho
I have a desperate need for Missing Link Ultra/Delta/Shining Magnus!
Understandable
It's a lovely toy, I'm all for random recolours, but I don't see what it's got to do with Sentinel Prime.
I think tbh it could be named anything haha - but in this case the orange does sort of nod towards previous toys
Marvel comics
The bio has been covered by the usual TF sites and the colours are obviously Sentinel Prime colours (IDW/Titans Return).
i would love this in the masterpiece line as Yellow's my favorite colo(u)r
There’s the LeBron Convoy which is also worth a look
I would own this color orange is awesome especially when I'm Tennessee Tennessee vols fan lol
Nice
The most mid release ever that cost a million dollars... Sixo: this is the best thing ever!
Well, we all have your opinions - that’s what makes collecting interesting. Seems I’m not alone, too!
@@SixoTF Let me start of by saying your an amazing photographer and I don't want you to stop, but when it comes to your opinions on things it can come off as toxically positive, remember not everyone has unlimited money or access to sponsors who give them free stuff. I'm not asking you to shit on everything but maybe wind back on the glazing of takara and Hasbro.
So strange of a repaint choice but im not against. It's fun and different, we don't get something like this a whole lot so it's very welcome by me personally.
The Orange is strange, funny enough on video it looks Yellow in truck mode
It’s probably more yellow than orange - a strange colour
I was not convinced and holding out for Magma Convoy or Battle Convoy
Fair enough
@@SixoTF or even Death Prime from the Movie😊 as they reuse the mold no doubt
@@SixoTF the colours do like nice though to homage the IDW version in robot mode or the scanned truck from episode 1
i think in G1 the truck that the Skyspy scanned was s'posed to be orange
He mentions it.
I do lol
I think this is a beautiful recolor to the point that I don’t care it doesn’t remind me of sentinel prime😎
Same
Not for me, as it's not a G1 character. It just makes wish that the animation version has the designation C-01A.
I'm curious to see how (or if) they will engineer this mould into a potential Ultra Magnus.
Technically he did appear in G1 in both comic and cartoon… kinda. But anyway yeah, Magnus would be amazing to see
@@SixoTFYeah, I guess, but in name only. They made buy the animation deco, by numbering it the second in the line, so I need some reasoning to help me stop shelling out for this, too 🙂
Wonder if they'd do a more original screen accurate bright orange and black one sans trailer and sticker based paint apps as a reference to IDW2 Sentinel/TR Sentinel, a la C-02 Convoy Anime Ver
Fun idea
god i really wish he was just the cab. More collectiblity, instead i gotta get another trailer and spend more bucks and .. im just mad its expensive 😭
Sorry to hear
Theres 2 wholes in the back of the styrofoam that you can use to get him out a lot easier.
@@meg-k-waldren haha yeah, I discovered this AFTER
This one is not one I'm real into but if they do a Missing Link Magnus or Blue Optimus I'd get that one.
Same
Arise, Huffimus Prime?
lol
That'd be cool
prolly the reason why he complains so much
I thought the colors were from the Marvel UK flashback.
Bit of a mix imo - the comic depiction was all orange (not technically intended as SP at the time), but he is also now considered to have been in the cartoon where he was orange and blue. The darker orange face seems like a nod to the Titans Return toy to me too
How many more figures of Optimus Prime do we need?
I mean, you don’t have to get it 😉
I picked this up and this is the only way sentinel is getting added. He's a fake prime. This just hammer it home
lol
Great review! For all the haters remember this line was meant for Japan its only offered to other countries to boost sales but at the end of day this was made for Japanese collectors not North American or European fans who think Transformers died shortly after the movie. It was Japan that kept the Transformers line going for years after every other country wrote them off.
1/ It's sold in international markets so your point about "Japan" is irrelevant.
2/ Japanese fans have commented the same as international fans.
3/ Japan most certainly did NOT "keep things going". Europe has toys well after the US and Japan sold TFs
Please refrain from ignorant comments in the future, especially about Japan, which you obviously have little or no knowledge of.
Thanks! Tbf Transformers has had a consistent presence worldwide since 1984, and in particular in Europe it has never missed a year
You calling this a modern e-hobby exclusive now makes me desperately want a missing link kup so they can redo it as an Orion pax
Oooh yeah
This guy looks awesome, but it's not for me. Space and money are both factors. But if they do one in Black... I'm there!
Fair
I’m afraid if I buy this then they will release a black Convoy 6 months later. How come this version has no autobot logo?
Bc it’s based on that truck so I guess they wanted it to be non-affiliated in truck mode
I thought this was the truck Teletraan 1 scanned
Yep, as mentioned
You sound like Tom Scott. 😀
I had to look up who that was!
@@SixoTF And....? 🙂
I passed on that at the Tokyo expo, as it was far too overpriced.
Shame
Oh yeah another fig that the scalppers will sale on ebay
Seems quite readily available atm so hopefully not
Sunbleached Optimus?
Sure
i want this
Do it
Has anyone hit this figure under a blacklight, hmmmmmmm?
I certainly haven’t!

Tansformers Transformers see the title?
Seems fine now 😛
this looks like the lebron mp10

3rd comment ❤🎉
@@I-Minecraft-428 💪
it's dumb, regurgitated mold abuse XD_ _ _
It’s not though
Misleading reviewer, he never turned the robot mode around to reveal the huge gaping hole in the back everyone hates, in fact, he hid it from the front with the matrix mount thing so no one would notice. Misleading review. Shame on you @Sixo
Not sure if this is a joke?
@@SixoTF Yeah, this is the Transformers Missing Back C-01S Sentinel Prime, but you instead decided to focus on 2 microscopic bits of paint missing from your matrix of leadership. Try turning the transformed figure around at least once next time. There is a huge gaping hole in the back of this robot form.
