I know the mold is crappy, but if I have any spare money when this guy comes out (doubtful, damn ROTF for having so many nice toys!), I may pick him up simply because he's an homage to a Japanese-only toy.

 

i like him like that

 

It looks alright, but it still doesn't have a Maximal logo!

 

I love the BW Convoys/ Primal but this mold doesn't belong with them. The funny thing is that as much as people complain, all the repaints sell. I've never seen leo prime in stores plus it paint scheme makes it all most perfect to combine with cybertron prime. People begged for Razorclaw. Leo Breaker flew off shelves and skyrocketed in price! I loved Nemesis Breaker paint scheme & the fact it combines with galvatron or galaxy force cybertron prime was a big selling point. Its the only one I display in beast mode and the only transformer I display in alt mode.

I'd prefer that Hasbro gave us the actual Lio Convoy mold like they did with Big Convoy mold when I got Universe 1.0 Nemesis Prime.

With all that said, I may still buy it! Its definitely no where near the worst beast former mold! I think it is good business decision for Hasbro.

Here's hoping for a Hasbro repaint of Lio Convoy as good as Hasbro's repaint of Big Convoy.

 

Can...not...wait.

Agreed! That would certainly up the value of this one. I also hope they (meaning Hasbro or Tomy) eventually get around to making the Lio Convoy that transforms into Zoids Liger Zero from the comics.

 

Allow me to restate my previous comment: This mold is no substitute for the real thing.
Save the $20 or so and put it towards the REAL Lio Conoy instead.

 

Seriously...Leobreaker, Dark Leobreaker, Leo Prime, Razorclaw, and now This??? Oh wait, look at my signature and name...I LIKE IT....

 

Where did all the paint apps go? Looks barren compared to previous uses of the mold.

Also I'm not sure I like that muddy gold.

 

Wow, I like that! Definately tempting if it's official. 

 

You know... I have Lio Convoy and I can't say that I like his mold any better or worse than Lio Convoy. They're both decent molds to me and each one has some major pros and cons in my opinion. I really can't honestly say that one is superior to the other at all and I own both molds (own the Leobreaker mold four times over actually and Lio Convoy twice).

 

I don't know about everyone else, but I know I am not trying to use this as a substitute for the original. I have the original (as well as Flash LioConvoy). I want this one because it is sweet. It is something to add to the collection, not to detract from an earlier version. If we worried about that, we would have stopped getting updated versions a long time ago. I like being able to combine truck Prime with beast Prime. It feels like some sort of extension of the Robot Masters story where multiple Primes were pulled into one universe.

And these colors are better than the last one. I really can't wait.

 

thats a sweet fig, i dig it.

 

WOW

looks kinda strange
but luckily i have the real toy

 

Aaaaaaaah I wish they would stop with the re-paints!!! I mean come on! They have the greatest things ever still to do in the Classics/Universe line, and they are the Headmasters, Targetmasters and Combiners.

I will agree that this figure looks good, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see some new good molds instead of constant re-paints of Cybertron Figures

 

i am sorry about that, i typed now one too many times....i didn't mean to sound belittling you....i was just in a hurry typing cause i had to go

 

Spurt Reynolds HATH owned this mold



Lio Convoy

 

How many times can you repaint this mold?!?!? First time it's looked good though.

 

If this is the second TFCC toy, (which I really doubt) and they use that mold from Botcon, Then they will have really missed the boat on making some fast money. They would do better giving the fans the opportunity to buy Hooligan and Hellbat versions of the Energon Starscream mold.

 

Is it sad that the first things I went looking for were the Maximal logos?

Actually, I wonder if this version might not be a kind of stand-in for a Cybertron-mode Lio Convoy, with the original toy the more overtly organic re-formatted Earth form.

There's no reason to say that there aren't at least a few Maximals or Predacons who use 'mechanical' alt modes that still look like beasts - perhaps in honour of G1-era characters like Grimlock or Razorclaw.
