2005 Boards member chinaseller has posted images of a repaint of the Universe Leo Prime figure that possesses a color scheme similar to that of Lio Convoy from the Beast Wars II line. At this time, no confirmation of this figure has been announced from Hasbro. Therefore, it is unknown when this figure will be released and under what line it will be marketed under. In the meantime, check out the images by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

I have the Robotmasters version of Lio Convoy and have the Classics Legends Leo Prime and bought the Universe Leo Prime, but Why didn't they (the company Hasbro o Takara) made this one on the first place? I too hope its legit, because I'm a huge fan of all the Primes.

It'd be interesting to see if he can still attach to cybertron prime or megatron.

Roger that. I'm Not even a beast wars 2 fan. The face looks well painted and will rock pretty well next to Leo Prime on my shelf. but I hope we get a few more nice universe vehicle repaints with remolded heads. (A year ago I would have laughed at the remolded head business myself for has/tak but it seems to be a trend following the movie line. Rock On!)

Meh. I'd rather have a classics universe 2.0 Jazz, Wheeljack, Tracks or any other Autobot car. He does look awesome though.

I hope it's legit. I've been waiting on this paint scheme awhile now.

Well, this was an inevitable repaint. But frankly, the original figure sh#ts all over this terrible mold…
Thundershot
I also have the original Lio Convoy, and it's not by any means a spectacular mold. I'll be using this guy to replace my legends classics Leo Prime.
racnruin
Ditto!

THIS.
but is still would rather want a new mold update on the original lio convoy.

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.

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.
Starwave
How many times can you repaint this mold?!?!? First time it's looked good though.
ORIO
That is the fucking best custom of that mold ever.
Sadly this Leo Prime will be more affordable than a commissioned custom.
I'll buy this, but what freaks me out is I've owned EVERY version of this mold. Its a shitty mold, but I keep buying it over and over.
Will probably sell universe leo in favor of this one.

Spurt Reynolds HATH owned this mold

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
GeroTF
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
saberconvoy
WOW
looks kinda strange
but luckily i have the real toy
megatron784

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.

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).
