Binaltech BT-22 Convoy

Was supposed to come out on July 17 together with BT-21 Arcee.

Haven't seen confirmation yet, but TakaraTomy's latest website update only includes Arcee, and no Convoy.

Whatever happened to the "green" variant they were talking about? Was that all a hoax? Or just another product to offer if the BT Re-Release did better than expected?

The "green" one was confirmed to be a miscolored preview image pretty early.

Compared to Kiss Players Convoy: diecast, recolored arms and hands, recolored eyes, no surfboard/sword, no Melissa, no character card.
Compared to Alternators Optimus Prime: diecast, painted plastic parts (see-through on the Alt), reworked waist detail, leg detail, feet, shoulder detail, truck tray, truck grille detail, and yes, gun.

With Alt Optimus Prime vs BT Convoy, the differences are more substantial. If you have Kiss Players Convoy, it may be a harder choice, however keep in mind that it is a true Binaltech, not just Binaltech-adjacent, and is therefore not associated with the Kiss Players line/fiction/expense/general creepiness (ie: you could actually show it to your mom).
