Good news for fans of e-Hobby this morning, the online store is currently running a 50% off promotion on various figures including several of their previous exclusives include the Black Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy.  You can find all of the discounted products here.

The Allspark have shared an English translation of the E-Hobby exclusive Black Rodimus Convoy comic, translated by the one and only Hydra! This short comic sets up how Black Rodimus Convoy is a clone born of Rodimus' own self-doubts, a dark reflection of his character. The comic also includes an English translation of the character's bio.

Not enough Black Rodimus Convoy for you? There's a full bio over at E-Hobby Magazine, again brought to you in English by Hydra! The full bio sheds more light on the circumstances leading up to the comic, revealing that it was the ghost of Starscream who led Rodimus to the cloning chamber!

e-Hobby have posted a new article in the e-Hobby Magazine Transformers Museum section about the e-HOBBY Exclusive City Commander Galvatron II figure.  The article, which is available in English as well as Japanese, thanks to long time Transformers fan and e-Hobby employee Hydra discusses the figure as well as his secret 5th phrase.

The figure is one of the few e-Hobby toys we do not currently own, we did but we sold him on right away before we could photograph him, but you can still use this site to compare the toy to the original Galvatron, a testshot of the G1 toy (with different crown) and the anime coloured version.

Great news for fans of e-Hobby they have now announced that their online blog, e-Hobby Magazine is now available in English.  The English section does not contain everything that the Japanese version includes but they will be adding more content in the future.

e-Hobby have updated their store with some new images of the Transformers United DS Optimus Prime and Megatron figures.  The toys are the black re-paints of the Transformers United / Transformers Universe War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron figures.
