Lio Convoy is a design that just works for me. I don’t know why I adore it, but I do. So I picked up the normal release, and I love him. I will say though, the addition of pupils on the lion eyes for Nemesis Lio are a huge improvement
Not just an appeal to the edge Lord colour scheme, but the more monochromatic colour scheme makes the kibble more palatable, as it visually sticks out less, due to blending in better with the robot parts. Still can’t defend that lion head though. They needed to sculpt him with at least a slight frown, or determined scowl.
Euuuuugh but GAVIN, he’s not a Nemesis Prime, he’s Copy Convoy-who kinda sorta started the whole “black and teal and evil clone of Optimus” shebang, but he’s TOTALLY different
Good review. Honestly I also skipped Leo Prime as honestly they just don’t do much for me (I’m more a Big Convoy/Ultra Mammoth gal) but I must say that the Nemesis color scheme really makes this mold shine. Looks freaking phenomenal and I think I may just get this so I can have at least one Leo Prime/Convoy.
I was surprised how much I liked the Leo Prime version. Been a bit lukewarm on the modern beasts but he had just enough little gimmicks and a quite cartoon like lion mode that he won me over in the end.
"Like you gettin' into the secret TFNation hot tub" hey now, no need to call me out like that. I'm really self-conscious about my white and gold fur, ya know.
Its the one and only real lio convoy! Or atleast that's what he would say about himself. Copy Convoy is a complete giga-chad in his one and only appearance in BWII. No one h3 inspired all future evil prime clones!
Outside the figures , I own to the ones that I'm waiting to be put back in stock and the ones , I skipped , Nemesis Leo went from skippable to I might pick him up if I spot him .
The lion head reminds me of that one scary thing from that anime I can't remember the name of. Something about someone being turned into this horrible thing with long hair and blank eyes. UPDATE! I think it was Fullmetal Alchemist.
Great review! I have not been sold on many of the Transformers Legends toys, but I havento agree, the black lion does look good. Also, you once again got my wife to laugh out loud with this review. You are fantastic!
The eyes having pupils makes the face look a little better but it's still too goofy. Has convinced me to try and pick up the normal version and just paint the eyes.
I pretty much agree with you at the start and aswell I'm not familar with the anime. I "may" buy him if he become dirt cheap over time as he look cool as Nemesis black colour theme. Just that the kiddles and the arkward transformation I've seen on his reviews still put me off.
Ok I bought him days ago cos I think Toysmyths accident put the clearance £15 on him eventhought the website still say £29.99! I actually end up liking him! The head scuplt is so good and for now, the plastics on him is solid even for the fragile parts on him aren't weak! I actually like the monotone colours on him as it blends alot better in lion, not like seeing bits of red around the mane! It was tricky transforming the arms to fit under the head but once you understand it's to get the arms into the tabbing area, it's easier to pulled it off due to the multiply rotations on the joints! The only nikpick I got is while it's cool he comes with extra pistols but there are no 5mm ports on the lion mode to attach the gun onto! The only option is using the "evofusion" aka flip one of the side mane and stick it there with the two pistol attach but what if you don't want the ecofusion display?
he doesnt need one, yes he is a "nemesis" but in his episode, he wanted to replace the original, but still stayed loyal to the maximals/cybertron by refusing an alliance with the predacons/destron also his packaging maximal symbol is slashed and his tech specs depicts him as a "renegade maximal"
I was just thinking that the Transformers make everything out of metal, which is kind of like us making everything out of flesh. Imagine driving around in your little meat mobile? Kinda gross.
HAHAHAHA WHAT IS THAT FACE ON THE LION?? I much prefer the original deco, but that goofy face on the lion is REALLY tempting me to get this version instead
I genuinely hate this. Not the figure, the figure is great, but just how scummy Hasbro is. I have the Leo Prime, and I love him to bits. But this guy has more accessories which is annoying and the lion head looks better in lion mode. BUT the lion head is wrong in robot mode, which the original surprisingly got right. And it's not like I can just give the original the weapons because they're the wrong colour. Here's hoping that they release a Burning Convoy version that give him the correctly coloured stuff.

Surprising how some teal can make a monochrome black and grey look stand out very well.

You missed the entire point of Leo Prime. You also apparently love boring colors
Euuuuugh but GAVIN, he’s not a Nemesis Prime, he’s Copy Convoy-who kinda sorta started the whole “black and teal and evil clone of Optimus” shebang, but he’s TOTALLY different
He was created using an evil photocopier, never forget!
Coptimus Primal, if you will
The original
he even has painted nails, he appeals to the inner edgelords and divas to us all. Truly, a perfect toy if you're into lions as well
That pun barrage at the end was like a series of body blows from George Foreman.
Good review.

I loooove the word puns. Add to the fact the lion looks as shocked as I am every day! That’s great!
It is I wheeljack studios (one from Dublin ) but a change of design

It's good you put respect on Goro, Prince of The Shokan's name.
I continue to support the dab as the best general test of articulation.
I hope we get Leo Prime in a ROTB sequel. Big Convoy too.
I still haven't seen this fella in store, much with the rest of the Legacy Evolution waves.. Still Skids and Arcee in stock, and nothing but 'em...
Was not expecting references to Laura Kinney and Goro, Prince of the Shokan today
Love to see it
You're the mane man, Gav.
I guess I'm a maniac. I'll be displaying them both in lion mode.
I wanna get this guy just because when I showed my girlfriend him after he was revealed she said he looked like a goth girlboss 😂
Its the one and only real lio convoy! Or atleast that's what he would say about himself. Copy Convoy is a complete giga-chad in his one and only appearance in BWII. No one h3 inspired all future evil prime clones!
I have the exact same reason for choosing Nemesis Leo Prime. If I ever review this toy, I'll just steal your entire intro. Cheers, sucker!
My local Walmart is still on Legacy Wave 1...and the closes place that has the New stuff is 3 hours away...ugh
Excellent "The Museum of Everything" reference.
I have the normal Lio Convoy version and I really like him honestly. The lion face doesn’t bother me and I just think he looks great
Outside the figures , I own to the ones that I'm waiting to be put back in stock and the ones , I skipped , Nemesis Leo went from skippable to I might pick him up if I spot him .

UPDATE! I think it was Fullmetal Alchemist.

Goddamnit, that new gun makes him kinda tempting. Well, if he drops to a stupidly low price in Smyth's anyway
Ooh hype, I love these videos
You can't go wrong with a black Prime 🖤
Shame he didn’t include a flower accessory to hold for that one specific scene that’s on his wiki
this toy should be called copy convoy damn localisation
Cowardly villains ALWAYS have secret power nipples.

I want a Polaroid photo of this guy. I’ll make him into an album cover
I still need to get Leo Prime and Tarn at some point
I seen that one but without the head
Repugnus really bout to take Gavin out back and shoot him for that “safari so good”
He needs a Predacon Symbol as well
he doesnt need one, yes he is a "nemesis" but in his episode, he wanted to replace the original, but still stayed loyal to the maximals/cybertron by refusing an alliance with the predacons/destron
also his packaging maximal symbol is slashed and his tech specs depicts him as a "renegade maximal"

Thew just finished watching this and has realized that he can no longer review it without paying royalties on you puns.
I ani't lion when I say I liked this video
Repugnus has a point- the puns are great but they're not the MANE event.
I got your mane point here.
Don't get it
@@TRDQ wouldn't want to li-it-on too thick.
1:05 what happens when you pinch the nipple? Hehe
I would never
@@TRDQ do iiiiiiit! Hehe
prelude to July-on month?
Do the addition guns store
anywhere in either mode
I don't think so? Maybe?
HAHAHAHA WHAT IS THAT FACE ON THE LION??
I much prefer the original deco, but that goofy face on the lion is REALLY tempting me to get this version instead
Hello Gavin
Hello Lex
Hello Lex
the thumbnail makes him look like a wierd centaur.
no man who likes big convoy can complain about leo prime's kibble and how much for your botcon strika? I need it
A cool mil

His mouth opens so he can eat dirt, just like in the comics!

ALL HAIL GAVIN!!!!
