Transformers Collectors' Club Membership Incentive 2015 Revealed - Lio Convoy

Posted by Va'al Jul 31, 2014 at 12:58pm CDT 33,293 views
The official Transformers Collectors' Club have just announced the 2015 membership freebie figure, and they're clearly sticking to the Beast Wars theme with... Lio Convoy! The artwork shown reveals a redeco of the Generations Orion Pax mold, with an entirely new head sculpt too. As with this year's Transmutate Rampage combo, it is highly likely that there will be a figure for sale separately that goes with one - could there be a Megatron dragon kicking about in the future? In the meantime, check the images out, mirrored below!

The 2015 FREE Transformers Collectors' Club Membership Incentive Figure is... Lio Convoy!

Lio Convoy will feature an ALL-NEW head sculpt! The alt mode is fantastic!

yeah, that flame chest works surprisingly well! ha. I bet a few of us will do a custom of that before the year's up. While I'm less of a Beast Wars kinda guy, it will go great with the Botcon set.

And we still have a couple surprises coming this way... the TFSS freebie and likely a for-purchase store exclusive to pair with this one. A BW Galvatron would be a great pairing.

I'd also love a third jet for the subscription service... SG Dirge would be a third seeker mold for the set, and a nod to the Shattered Glass collectors... or I'd like to see a Redwing as second choice.

But I digress.

odd, but beautiful. only concern: possibly another sacrifice of head size for clearance?

I'm more concerned about the figure's size - that Orion Pax mold is far from large...

It's interesting, but not thrilling.

Who want's to bet we'll see a Predacon mold repainted into Galvatron II?

I actually would not. None of them match his overall profile, plus I think the Voyagers would be too big for the club to consider at this time.
And who says he'll paired with another release? That only happened twice in non-consecutive years. Didn't the club say they'd make one of the Beast Wars: Uprising characters if one got popular enough?

Some of the GO dragons are smaller, aren't they?

Still thinking Budora looks like the best match, and he is a bit bigger, sadly.

Beast Wars "Uprising" ??? Gotta find out what this is....

I'd much rather see more modern/pre-beast takes of the original Beast Wars crew. I know the ones we've gotten are technically Uprising versions of the characters, but I at least have a connection to them...

OH! Just revisited those. Botanica at the absolute top... with new head, of course. Other favorites are Dynobot (shockingly good for a simple repaint) and Jawbreaker. He's just pretty in those colors. The others I could live without.

It's the home universe of this year's Rampage and Trans-Mutate, and last year's Depth Charge. Several designs were re-used for the characters like:

- Rattrap: Prime Rumble, based his BM form
- Botanica: BH Soundwave, with Laserbeak instead of Ravage (no jokes please)
- Geckobot: BH Wheeljack with Dead End head
- Torca: BotCon 2010 Clench
- Jawbreaker: BH Ratchet
- Dynobot: Gen. Springer

And the GO! Oni were the same size as our Predacons just with new heads

Aw, that's cute. The decoed the entire truck into a lion's head. Complete with nose and mane. Kind of reminds me of the dog van from "Dumb and Dumber". :lol:

Hey, what if we're going thecwrong way? We're assuming Galvatron, but they did CRYOTEK in a Bulkhead body. One of the Voyagers, can't tell if it was the rirst edition or PRID, but that's the possibilty...
