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!
