Hi, guys!

I have an Exclusive Limited Big Black Convoy up for grabs!!!

The item is LOOSE, COMPLETE and in GREAT CONDITION.

Offer me.

Also looking for POWERED COMMANDER for trade. Offer me.


Here's a review of the item.




BLACK BIG CONVOY
Toys-R-Us Limited Edition
Black Big Convoy is basically a repainted C-35 Big Convoy packaged in the original Japanese box with a windowed opening in front. The box measures 11”x5”x8” and has a Gold, Red & Black sticker on the plastic window identifying this figure as an exclusive.






Black Big Convoy has the following contents:

1. Big Convoy figure
2. Big Cannon Missiles (x2)
3. Mammoth Hook Missiles (x2)
4. Catalog Sheet
5. Instruction Sheet
6. Character Card



Mammoth Hook & Big Cannon Missiles



There are 2 Big Cannon Missiles and 2 Mammoth Hook Missiles that are included with Black Big Convoy. The instructions identify the Hook Missiles as "Haken".
The long missiles can be inserted into the cannon which is located underneath his Mammoth shell. The crescent missiles can be inserted into their launcher which is located on the inner circular-like parts of his body.
There are a couple of gimmicks in Beast Mode which can are within the tusks & trunk. The trunk can be raised and lowered by pulling back on the lever on his head. The second gimmick (tusk) can be activated by pulling back on each of his ears which raise and lower each tusk individually.

BEAST MODE: Black Big Convoy is a Mastodon/Wooly Mammoth in this mode which really looks good with its Black to Gold (sprayed on lower part) colors, Grey tusks, and metallic-Blue eyes.

Wooly Mammoth Beast Mode



There are a total of 15 parts which make up his shell. He measures 10"x5.25"x3.25" with his tail extended. Articulation is quite limited in this mode with its gimmicks plus a movable tail and ears that can fold out. That's basically it in this mode. Big Convoy's grooves on his body producing a fur-like appearance and the tusks have grooves producing an aged appearance. So overall, Black Big Convoy's mold looks realistic in my opinion. The only change I would have made in the colors are the buttons on his sides which are Black. I think Gold would've been more appropriate to blend in with the painted lower-half of his body.

ROBOT MODE: To transform into this mode, lift his butt part which separates from 2 peg holes on his hind legs. Separate the back parts and fold them downward. The parts are connected by ball and sockets as well as hinge joints on the body. Fold the back/butt parts (including cannon) upward 90°. Separate the tusk parts slightly and pull up the head/trunk so that the head/back/butt parts appear to float above his body. Separate the joints at his head and front legs, then rotate the entire lower-half so that it is aligned with the rest of his body. You should see the pelvic region, knees, and legs of the robot.
Pull out both round parts (connected to side of the robot's legs) and rotate it upward 3 notches (ratchet locking joint). At his feet, rotate the leg parts upward behind the robot's calves which lock into place. Separate the feet by folding the heels and toes upward. You should be able to stand the figure on its newly formed feet. Rotate the upper body 180° at the waist. Remove the fists from the pegs (on back) and rotate the arms at the shoulder 45°, then extend the arms at the elbows. Rotate the entire arm (shoulder to fist) 180° at the second shoulder joint. Fold out the Mammoth tusks and parts 90°, then rotate them forward slightly--should look like wings on his back. Lift both arms upward to lock the Grey shoulder joints. Fold arms in and down at the shoulders. Push upper body downward to waist to reveal Convoy's head. Rotate the tusk parts 90°--should look like Convoy has shoulder pads (Mammoth ears folded down). Rotate the trunk/butt part 90° so that the head is on Convoy's right side. You may have to adjust some parts to get it right. The cannon should be folded inward closest to the body and butt part folded back. Finally, fold out Grey horns on Convoy's head...you're done!



Black Big Convoy stands at 9" tall and 9" wide (from tusk to tusk). In this mode, his color scheme is mostly made up of Black, Grey, Silver & Gold. There are plenty of Gold and Silver painted parts to highlight this figure and looks excellent with mechanical-like molding. Black Big Convoy has several point of articulation with several kinds of joints which are listed below:

1. Head - ball and socket
2. Shoulders - ball and socket
3. Elbows - ball and socket, hinge
4. Wrists - hinge
5. Waist - swivel
6. Hips - ball and socket, ratchet-hinge
7. Knees - upper-leg twist, two-part hinge
8. Ankles - hinge, ball and socket (toes/heels)

Black Big Convoy with Tonfas
Black Big Convoy has another pair of weapons called Tonfas which are hidden behind his forearms. To transform, fold out the forearm covers, fold out the Tonfas, then replace the covers. Lastly, connect the Tonfas' peg underneath each fist.

Black Big Convoy with Cannon
Another weapon that is in his inventory is the Cannon which is created using the trunk/back/butt parts that are connected to his back. To create the Cannon, separate the head/cannon part from joint on his back. Now rotate each flap 90° at the ball and socket joint and fold out the small panel (top of head) as well as the cannon's handgrip which is hidden. Lastly, fold down the butt/tail part downward and the back flaps outward to form some sort of blast shield. The end result should look like the photo below.

Black Big Convoy with Cybertron

You can see his Cybertron emblem above in Red and centered on his torso. If you open up the Matrix Chamber you'll see that the Red Cybertron symbol which is actually a spark crystal connected to the back.

Close-up of Black Big Convoy's head

Black Big Convoy's head is Black with Silver painted parts on his forehead and mouth guard. His eyes are metallic-Gold and he has two Grey moveable "horns" or antenna. Since his head is connected by a ball and socket joint, his head has the capability to rotate as well as tilt slightly.

Chest plate folded down to expose Matrix

This figure doesn't have a rub-sign but rather a removable Matrix. This is located behind his torso piece (Matrix chamber) which has to be folded downward to open.

Matrix
The Matrix is made of vacuum metallic-Gold with a semi sphere painted Orange. There are handles on each end which fit perfectly into Black Big Convoy's fists.

Black Big Convoy with Matrix Black Big Convoy has a challenging transformation from Beast to Robot Mode and vice versa. His color scheme is the best that I've seen...even better than Black LioConvoy in my opinion. The Silver & Gold painted highlights really make this figure stand out! His removable Matrix is just an awesome touch and this figure his highly recommended!!

The seller hasn't been online since 2012. I highly doubt you're getting a response.
