I picked up leo prime a few months ago and I was not impressed by this mold. It was simple and the functionality of it just ruined it.. One of my few regret purchases.. Slappin a new paint job on a turd, doesn't cover up the fact its...A turd..

The weakest point of this is that without a Galaxy Force/Cybertron Prime to combine with, it's lost the majority of its selling point.

The color scheme's not bad, although I'd rather have the original Lio Prime mold than another Leobreaker.

Okay, while I applaud them for the attempt, they obviou got lazy with this one. He's got the same bio as before and his waist area and tail are in Leobreaker's colors. How 'bout a little more effore next time, Hasbro?

They got it right on the second try with Universe G1-accurate Starscream, yet they did not do so well on this one.

No matter what colour you paint it in a fail mold is still fail.

Looks like this one is also missing the electronic features.

Unless he literally falls on my lap I'll probably wont buy him.

Already own Leobreaker. Don't really need a second one.

I want this, but I not sure if I'll be able to find it. The retailers don't give 2 shits about Universe now. All they want is movie toys. Movie! Movie! Movie!!

It is a bit odd. They're basicly rereleasing the same toy just in different colors in the same line even with the same name and bio. Shame they haven't repainted Cybertron Prime yet. It's an awesome figure. Maybe they could repaint him as Ultra Magnus, or Nemesis Prime, or Hot Spot.

It will be mine......if i can find it. Target exclusives suck almost as bad as walmart ones.

From "Beast Wars," huh?
Yet, he clearly has a Cyber Planet key?
What the heck, man?

It's a Transformers Cybertron toy mold that has been redecoed and and given a new robot mode head to represent a Beat Wars character.

Or more correctly, a Beast Wars II (Beast Wars Second) character named Lio Convoy ("Leo Prime" is his new American name).

If he is a Target Exclusive, I have to wonder what else will be in the case assortment (voyagers ship 4 to a case :-B ) with him? Here's hoping for another exclusive voyager re-paint, maybe Inferno into Grapple ;;) ?

That is assuming there is more than one, like the TRU Ultra repaints that came out together in Darkwing and Countdown (2 of each per case).

Why bother? I mean, if the Inferno figure was a fire truck with no ladder, that would make Grapple a crane with no crane arm, which nullifies him even being a crane and seems kinda pointless to make.

Except for the fact that Target exclusive = Argos exclusive, Walmart exclusive = ASDA exclusive and TRU exclusive is just a TRU exclusive I totally see you're point : D

Seriously, most country's have an equivalent that gets the exclusives eventually. Some even make it to general retail. The only current exclusive I'm worried about trying to find in England is the EZ/Legends Devastator...


On the topic of this figure !BLEGH! Once again, we get a repaint of this sad excuse for a transformers. And it's not even into a different character, we already have a Leo Prime in this mould!
It's Savage claw mode would be all right and worth the purchase (if I had Cybertron Leader Prime) if these new repaints came along side a Prime repaint. But they don't so the gimmickry is lost.
It's just my opinion though but I never bothered with this figure on it's original run. Nor the Nemisis version, or Razorclaw, or Leo Prime, and I'm going to pass once again on the second Leo Prime...

Why can't we get a better designed and better looking Leo Prime?? I mean seriously!!! they need to do something to redeem this character.. seriously!!

This is the best I could find, which is apparently based on a real Fire Engine Crane truck thing.
