Legacy Voyager LEO PRIME: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@alexoakley7144]

I really hope we get a "Big Convoy" Mammoth transformer as I honestly think it's high time he gets an update imo

[@COMBOY]

It'd be cool if Hasbro's Big Convoy gets branded as "Optimus Prime" and his bio refers to the tyrant Optimus Prime from the universe known as Aurex 304.0 Epsilon. As a reference to the old comics from Fun Publications.

[@roccotherayquaza2468]

Definitely would have to be a leader class or a commander with a few extra things

[@brokenbond2012]

There are several BW2/Neo figures id like to see in legacy, heres hoping. This was a good start to that line, he looks good for the most part, just y'know, fix that beast face and call it good

[@inkybrixx1291]

Nah I think we good with these anime convoys let’s focus on the Legacy Evolution TFA universe figures!

[@nefariousgremlin7554]

A new Big Convoy would be absolutely incredible

[@nobodyimportant5140]

There’s a lore reason now as to why Lio Convoy, and by extension, Big Convoy, look the way they do. Far in the future of the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity, thousands of years after the events of Beast Machines when Beast Wars II and Neo happens, we have a breed of Cybertronians called the “Convoy type”. These bots were forged by Vector Sigma in the image of Optimus Primal, considered Cybertron’s greatest hero after Beast Machines happened. These bots were intended to be the ruling class of the planet, forming the Convoy Council. This includes Lio Convoy, Blue Big Convoy, Big Convoy, Great Convoy, Reverse Convoy, Fire Convoy, and Galaxy Convoy.

[@foldabotZ]

So essentially, they're like a new kind of Prime lineage.

[@muhammadHassan-kj1jy]

Wow, thx for the info. I didn't know that!😀🤙

[@unicron99999]

Interesting.

[@ReligiousPrime]

With a name like Reverse, it makes me think that one would be like another Megatronus Prime, aka the Fallen, turning on his fellow Cybertronians.

[@foldabotZ]

@@ReligiousPrime Well, surprise, Reverse Convoy is actually Rebirth Megatron in disguise. In Japanese Engrish, “Rebirth” and “Reverse” sound the same.

[@glenrussell5242]

The lion face on the box vs the actual toy is just the perfect example of expectation vs reality 😂

[@superomegaprimemk2]

There only one that not had a toy done since the original and that is "Big Convoy!" Thou I would like to see Hasbro and Takara revisit Fire Convoy (RID 2001, Optimus prime) and the Ultra Magnus from that, thou I wouldn't mind if they took another shot at Energon Prime, with that they could do the drones as separate robots that could double as legs or arms via the weaponizer gimmick!

[@nightwave2k6]

"There's always going to be some robot bits peeking out" So you'd say it's the... ...nature of the beast?

[@matoro4140]

the robot mode bits on his hind legs are accurate to how he should look...probably because the animators stuck so closely to the toy

[@leftygurl]

tbh i think this guy is a bit more successful than the masterpiece, mostly because of the beast mode. the bwii anime could give them a bit of an out because it was animated with some robot mode colours poking out, but the masterpiece is just made of too many parts that are not close enough together to create a convincing animal. the lion face on this guy also isn’t perfect, but the rest of him looks so smooth and clean, it’s wonderful, feels much more whole than the masterpiece did.

[@foriamjustacommenter7141]

This guy is my most anticipated figure of next year. As a big BW fan, BWII was a fun show and Lio Convoy has hands down one of the best designs out there honestly. Really hope we get a BWII Galvatron and more from Japanese Beast Wars.

[@Kooster69]

From the Japanese Beast War animated movie, the bloosh effect that can be done with Legacy Evo Leo Prime's chest is one half of the Double Matrix Blast. The Double Matrix Blast was done with Optimus Primal in his Burning Convoy mode and Lio Convoy in his Flash Lio Convoy mode. I'm hoping that Hasbro gives us Flash Leo Prime and Burning Optimus Primal. This would mean that the Kingdom BW Optimus Primal mold would need some retooling to create his half of the Double Matrix Blast. I doubt Hasbro will be using "Convoy", as "Convoy" is only used in Japan.

[@SpykeTheHedgehog]

They’ll probably do something like, ‘Fire Blast Optimus Primal’, & ‘Light Force Leo Prime’.😅

[@Asher_Tye]

"Trukk not Munky" gets blasted by the inclusion of KITTY!

[@StopMotionReviewer1]

Just finished reviewing this glorious bastard, and I have to say, he REALLY pushes engineering boundaries in a new direction and I am LOVING IT.

[@gregscalzo5259]

Am I crazy or does this look nicer in sculpt and proportion than the masterpiece?

[@MrFennellleZ]

The legendary lio convey.

[@NineHundredDollarydoos]

When you have the tab blasters stored in the robot mode's backpack you could pretend it's a kind of jetpack, like Optimus Primal's butt-jets. They peek out of the bottom a very tiny bit, but I don't have any bloosh pieces, so I can't confirm if they'd actually fit.

[@AFCManUk]

Beast-Formers - Kibble in Disguise.

[@CameronWinders]

What is kibble? I just want to know.

[@ceruleanblu3184]

I think the lion parts concealed the robot parts quite well. Too bad the lion’s ears weren’t painted white, though.

[@heancio2]

Esse Leão é uma versão mais " realista ", diferente do anime. Espero que lancem um upgrade, porque essa cara de Leão ficou muito feia

[@godmagnus]

Omfg. I didn't even notice that. Can't unsee. Must pretend he just needs a haircut.

[@DaddySandz]

For what it’s worth, the golden ears are show accurate. It’s the same on the original figure as well.

[@skuffy4930]

Even if you don't like Leo Prime, you could absolutely do a head swap with Earthrise, or even Siege Optimus Prime if you want to.

[@davewire87]

Was that a Kamen Rider Evol reference I heard during the box overview? Nice.

[@lexibyday9504]

[@da_master_of_foxes8512]

I do enjoy this Leo Prime figure, but I don't like that the paw blades are basically backwards... Luckily, Hasbro put a swivel there to switch it around to where it's accurate.

[@eyelanderfreelander3375]

Is it just me, or does the lion head look a bit awkward in both Robot and Beast Mode? I know they went with a "Realistic" Lion Mode, but still... Anyway, may you have a blessed New Year Emgo. And prepare the BLOOOOSH!

I was trying to think of why it was bothering me and then I figured it out, is the cowardly lion!

Fun fact: the cybertronian on the side of the box translates to "Leo prime"

I psssed on the MP because i didnt like how the lion head sat so high on the shoulder, but for this my only gripe is the lion face design, I hope 3rd party comes out with a nicer looking one.

[@SideswipePrime606]

Sadly, my opinion of this toy didn't really change between the initial reveal and now. That lion head looks _so bad_ . I really hope that there are third party upgrade kits to replace it in the pipeline, because man oh man does that drag it down. I just want a good Lio Convoy with no compromises, for once. But every version has something holding it back. Perfect Effect's can go real floppy over not too long a period of time. The Masterpiece's shoulders are a too floaty, and the beast mode is much more gappy than I'd like on an MP...and it's more expensive than I'm comfortable spending. The Flame Toys doesn't transform. I still love it, though. The design's great and it's a really good action figure. Legit better built than 99% of my Gundam kits, but I was still left wanting for one that transforms. Then there's this one...a mostly solid take, with a cool transformation and neat features. But the lion head is just _so_ ugly. To the point that I don't even think it looks much like a lion at all. It looks more like a weird...horse-dog...thing, than an actual lion. Now I know how people who bought Titans Return Galvatron felt...a bad head really _can_ ruin what would otherwise have been a really good toy. Nice review as always, though Emgo. Really appreciate you still going strong after all these years!

[@CryosisOfficial]

The lion head's really not as bad in person (though the way the brow is sculpted makes it look permanently surprised/worried), it's mainly the teeth that drag the sculpt down.

[@elblekqet]

Oh, Primus, no! No, no, no. A Titan-class Tidal Wave would be stupidly large for the character. Plus how would he become armor for the Ultra-class (a.k.a. "Leader"-class) Armada Megatron they are doing next year? Tidal Wave should really be no bigger than Super-class (a.k.a. "Commander"-class) unless maybe Hasbro wants to bring back Supreme-class but that would probably also be too large. Tidal Wave simply was not and should not be titan-sized.

No, because all of the gold on him is either painted or it's yellow plastic. Gold Plastic Syndrome is caused from the metallic swirl in plastic. The modern issue is with transparent plastic, luckily Leo doesn't have either of those.
