Takara Tomy launches their new "Henkei! Henkei! Transformers" toy line with this first entry, Autobot leader Convoy (a.k.a. Optimus Prime)! This detailed action figure of the wise commander can transform between his semi-trailer truck mode and robot mode, and is packed with features: chrome parts for the front grill and bumper, a clear part at the back of his head to allow light to shine through and light up his eyes, exhaust pipes that combine to form a weapon, and even the roof can be turned into a weapon!

Initially released in the U.S. in Hasbro's "Transformers Classics" toy line, Convoy and other Transformers in this new "Henkei! Henkei! Transformers" lineup are redecorated by Takara Tomy for the Japanese market with a different color scheme for a more accurate resemblance to their counterparts in the original "Transformers" animated show. Each figure in this series also features chrome-plated parts and comes in Japanese packaging.
