Nice review. The 2002 New Years Convoy is a reissue of the Goodbye Convoy set that came out in 1986 in Japan in homage to Convoy/Optimus Prime's death in the animated movie. The blue tinted window Convoy is exclusive to this set. The trailer and Roller in your set are not the correct items that came out in the reissue. On the trailer, the canopy of the repair bot is supposed to be blue like Convoy's windows, Roller is supposed to be dark blue, this was also how the vintage Goodbye Convoy set came out. A mouse pad with the Autobot symbol and a sticker sheet with Autobot symbols also came out in the reissue set. The Action Master Prime in this reissue did not come with his own gun, looks like someone threw in a G1 Action Master Treadshot gun in the set.
The one thing about all these Optimi is that NONE of them come with his anime correct cannon, if you want that it's BTS-03 Matrix of Leadership G1 upgrade kit from China!
Just looked up a Diaclone commercial for you. Yes, the whole was always there, and just covered by the rub sign for Transformers.

Hi Captain Pull out game! Happy Prime Time!
Lets gooo
New vid and new prime 🔥
Great review as always .I have a G2 Optimus Prime and it dont have the Rubsign hole on the top !!!
I guess you could say this is a Halloween upload
The one thing about all these Optimi is that NONE of them come with his anime correct cannon, if you want that it's BTS-03 Matrix of Leadership G1 upgrade kit from China!
both of my original g1 primes have that hole
I think one is pre-rub and the other is just missing the rub
It is on sale at walmart for $56.43.
The new year's edition is so much better in every way. The 40th anniversary releases have been pretty poor in my opinion.
Pre-rub Prime does have the screw hole, to hold the head on, but the rectangular indentation for the rubsign is not there.
What makes the 40th Anniversary Optimus Prime so special compared to the 2002 New Year's Special Edition?
Painted to look more like the cartoon. NY edition just added the blue eyes and windows.
I wonder how many versions of optimi are there? I wonder if Hasbro even knows?
Still think they needed gave him the energon axe
Isn't "unleaded" diesel?
Semi runs on diesel
Yes, but Roller may be intended to service the other Autobots.
