Q: Will there be more Japanese Beast Wars Characters aside from Leo Prime?
A: Leo Prime was an easy sell to corporate since he is a leader called Prime and a lion, both attributes familiar and appealing to kids. Hasbro will keep testing the market and audience. The term Convoy is a trademarked name in Japan, so that name cannot be used on packaging by Hasbro.
Legacy Evolution Voyager Leo Prime needs to be the king of your Legacy collection! Shu Umezu san just absolutely floored me with this absolute masterpiece of a figure. This guy jumped right out the Beast Wars II animated series and I really couldn’t be happier about it.
This guy has all the features you could ever dream of, his Evo-Fusion Lion claw technique is unmatched. He has his Lion Typhoon attack mode with the sweet Lio missiles and blasters that have all sorts of places to flex them. The missiles even have storage in the underside of the beast hide and can actually be used as a jetpack! All the stuff is blast effect compatible, the blasters that plug in on top can remain hidden under the mane inside the awesomely sculpted lion head. He has a flip open panel that reveals his Energon Matrix.
Articulation is out of this world, you even got some awesome range in beast mode!
I mean, cmon now people! The colors and actual spray op placement is marvelous.
Break out your Yuya san Skywarp to hitch a ride on this absolute beast of a figure. Name off the other characters you would like to see from this great Japanese series!

Skywarp (atop Lio Convoy) being the Takara-renamed Silverbolt ala Team Magnaboss. The fact that a Lion and an Eagle are pictured. But alas the wrong Lion and Eagle...
Maybe someday the Beast Wars combiners will get an update?

I know. I think the non-combining Skywarp figure was indicative of that. If only the BW Combiners had the prominence of their G1 counterparts, there would be a bigger deal made of them. At least the Tripredacus Council briefly got a cameo in [Mainframe] Beast Wars. The Maximal Elders never did.

Things likely would have been very different had the show been hand-drawn instead of animated by Mainframe.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Beast Wars is just one of those lines that you look at the toyline and lament how many really interesting designs will remain in obscurity forever.
Even movies won't give Transquito, Sonar or Cybershark a shot at the spotlight.

That sure wasn't happening. Even Pixar had limits back then. CGI was super expensive.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Things likely would have been very different had the show been hand-drawn instead of animated by Mainframe.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Beast Wars is just one of those lines that you look at the toyline and lament how many really interesting designs will remain in obscurity forever.

True. Alternatively if Mainframe had received a larger budget.
Indeed. So which is better? Nearly every toy getting represented in so-so capacity, or focusing exceptionally well on just a small handful while all the rest get left out the picture?AllNewSuperRobot wrote:But first season aside, I don't think the writing or characterisation would have been as good with a ballooned cast ala Sunbow.

I'm jus sayin, maybe hasbro should replace their product photographer with this guys instagram feed, Leo Prime's box would look hella cool with these poses on it
