So, I have been struck by a need to hunt down the black Optimus / Convoy repaints and add the nicest ones to the collection - and for this I need you, my brethren!
The first to come to mind would be the Lio Convoy repaint, followed by I believe Scourge. Then we have Nucleon Quest (PM Prime) Alternators Nemesis Prime Classics Nemesis Prime Arms Micron Nemesis Tokyo toy show Dark Side Prime Animated Prime Armada Nemesis Prime Sleep Convoy Alternity Convoy MP Black Convoy JAFCON G1 Convoy (super elusive I bet) Robot Masters Black Convoy eHobby THS Black Convoy
Can any one think of any other mainline Primes that there may be?

Well that Grand Scourge is awful. And I never realised they made a Magnus out of laser rod Prime, learn something new everyday.

I think the lack of faction insignia in vehicle mode makes it look better. Karl

CR Black Convoy is in fact a bit cheaper too! I am indeed young Shockers, though I feel this quest be a long one!

I'm a Prowl purist these days, and have no interest in wierd repaints that don't clearly look or 'feel' like the mighty strategist.
So the Universe is safe from me.
But what about you, Dez? Is the Universe safe from you?! Is it?!?!

They had the Beast Hunters one, and yeah very reasonable.
So, Grand Scourge, that appears to be just a model kit?

Wish I'd spotted this thread earlier. I've had the Takara GO! Beast Hunters Nemesis Prime on eBay for the last few weeks with very little interest. I'd have shot you a good deal...
EDIT: Shit! I just remembered, I have WfC Nemesis Prime still sat in the box (I only used the Megatron from the set). Any good to you?

I have a funny feeling I picked up the Grand Scourge model kit when I was in Japan all those years ago. God knows which box in the loft it would be in though! There is a chance it was in the original colours though, but I'm pretty sure it was the black one.
Did it come with stickers? If it did, it's unlikely I applied them.

Some fine, fine shots there. (That Sword of Darkside Prime looks like it needs a suitably eeevil name. "Sparktaker" or "OilDrinker" or some such).

It's from the Cold Weapons set for OP. So maybe, 'The Chill Factor' or 'Absolute Zero Tolerance'? You could take it in the other direction: 'Ice Ice Baby' Oh wait... 'Black Ice!' Dezzeh, buddy, fear not - it's in the box. So you too can marvel at it's evil choppiness...

Thanks to Sifu, Darkside Prime is in hand, what a glorious colour scheme! Will ship a few more to me once payday hits, very excited now!

Hows about the forthcoming Generations Legends Nemesis Prime? I can pop an extra one in my PoL if you're happy to wait until late July (assuming it's release is before then)?

There's also legends of cybetron menasor, which is a black repaint of LoC Optimus.
