BT-13 Laserwave (April 2005)
BT-14 Oiljack (May 2005) NOTE: the proper name would be "Wheeljack"
TF Collection #19 Percepter (May 2005)
H.B.S.01 Galaxy Convoy (April 2005)
GC-10 Traceber (April 2005) NOTE: We already saw the packaging - it's "Terashaver" (or "Tera Shaver")
GC-15 Syds (April 2005) NOTE: We already saw the packaging - it's "Saidos" (according to Doug Dlin, "Sai" is Japaense for "Rhino", which would make "Saidos" the Japanese equivalent to "Rhinox")
GC-16 Lagerjack (April 2005) NOTE: We already saw the packaging - it's "Ligerjack" (or "Liger Jack")
GC-17 Autobolt (June 2005)

That's why those are called "new listings".
 

[ssjautobot]

i guess so. man. there sure are alor of convoys in galaxy force
 

[Nevermore]

Here's a thought from ATT:

"Reverse Convoy" = リバースコンボイ = "Ribâsukonboi" = "Rebirth Convoy".
 

[RID Scourge]

Maybe reverse convoy's the name for the Evil prime in this series. If so, I'm so up on it.
 

[Rookwise]

Maybe Powermaster Prime/God Ginrai
Black Neucleon quest Prime/Convoy ??

Interesting
 

[ssjautobot]

or maybe it could be star convoy. hense the name rebirth convoy

Can't find this RM-24 on their site, though...

Edit, due to merge: Perceptor

I want one dammit!

I wonder what goodies will come with it.

Who cares, I had it when I was a kid and I want it again.
 

[Nevermore]

Merged...
 

[Halfshell]

What? You expect me to read the other threads now? You want blood, too?!

What a great job that would be. Worst Transformer name ever? Well, we'd have to look at the rest of Takara's post Car Robots naming and come up with a short list first...

Quoth Nevermore:
"Tera Shaver"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does he transform into a jet? If so, then 'Terra Shaver" would make more sense (with two 'R's).
Terra is a synonym for Earth, and a jet diving down and pulling up just before he crashed or flying along just above ground level might be described as 'shaving the ground'. Either way, only a very skilled (or insane) pilot could pull that off. That name alone tells me a lot about what Terra Shaver's personality might be.


Ooo, Perceptor! I want a Diaclone-colored E-Hobby black Perceptor!
 

[Rookwise]

I used to have a black Diaclone Perceptor. Until the winder for the head stopped working and I lost the cannon/scope part
(I was 7 at the time)
 

[Denyer]

Yeah, I think he might look better in black, to be honest.

I've renamed this a bit since there's particular interest in one bit of listing.
 

[Nevermore]

Perceptor was Microman, not Diaclone.

Must've been Microman then (it was a long time ago). He was black with black gun, black missile launcher. Instructions showed robot, microscope and tank mode.

Had a grey version of Shockwave as well which came in similar packaging.
