    So what are the red things in plastic wrap? Looks like a jet, a red repaint of E.Stormjet or U.Cyclonus?

    I'll buy Leo Prime, only because he's labeled as part of the Beast Wars series.

    Dammit, Hasbro, quit picking on us Beast Wars completionists!

    I've been looking at that too, and I've realized it's actually just the Takara repaint of Powerglide. You can see the nosecone and engines. Seems a little small sitting there, but it is transformed oddly.

    Can this mold of Leobreaker also combine with Cybertron Prime? I'd think a bit harder about picking him up for that, if the colors match either of the Prime decos.

    Yes. I find it quite drowl that Leo Prime bears an Autobot symbol. Still, becuse of this I will allow this Bot to be in robot mode and grant him some shelf space. Overload? Not a high priority.

    You know, oddly I'm finding Leo more and more appealing....the actual toy's red plastic is a good deal less migraine inducing than the stock photos were. I might just have to get him to lead my Autobot forces....I just wish he'd been white instead of red...oh and Razorclaw is Definitely seconded! Come on Botcon! Don't let us down :D

    I seriously wish that Leo Prime had Maximal insignias on him. He's being sold as a Maximal, dammit! Give him the relevant faction symbols!

    I get the feeling that reprolabels has found a reason for more stickers.

    Not really interested in Lio Convoy, don't own Cybertron Prime nor do I care about the combining thing looking better (I already got Armada and Energon Prime combining all over the place as it is!)

    Overload would be a must buy for me...if I hadn't gone and bought Dropshot already. I like Dropshot better anyways, even if he lacks 8-bit camo.

    ...you're kidding right?

    Leobreaker was notorious for being one of those "aw shit I can't find him anywhere!" figures when he was released, hell check Epay NOW to see how much he's going for, the prices have barely gone down since his release.
    leobreaker, Toys Hobbies, cybertron starscream items on eBay.com

    Its the 25th Anniversary, we're celebrating ALL eras of Transformers, Overload is a Micromaster and Leo Prime is based on a (as far as America goes) comic only character.

    I don't think it's half-painted really, but more like it's yet another case of using the incorrect shade of gray to produce the toy. IIRC, Hasbro was supposed to have this "problem" fixed before Cyclonus going to full production (so's he'd have at least a more coherent look.) Apparently, the email got lost along the way...

    Still, Hound and Cyclonus are going to join the little mob of Classics/Universe toys growing on my available display shelves. Overload is a total pass (c'mon, two repaints of the same mold without a retool/remold within something like three waves apart?!?). As for Leo Prime, even tho' it does look good it would have been neat to see a Lio Convoy color scheme on that mold instead of a Optimus Prime one. Or even a full-sized G1 Razorclaw after the legend-class repaint. But as it is it's a pass for me.

    Smokescreen/Silverstreak and Acid Storm/Starscream come into play on that one too :/
