As the registration deadline for BotCon 2015 approaches, Seibertron.com is swelling with pride (heh) at the new installment of our toy galleries: Transformers Collectors' Club Deluxe Lio Convoy! The figure is a redeco of the Deluxe Generations Orion Pax, using a lionesque pattern of white, red, grey and gold, plus a new headsculpt too.

Lio Convoy is but one of the Orion Pax repurposes, as we have already seen and featured a gallery for Nova Prime a while back, and a third purple iteration seems to be teased on the box for the latter. In the meantime, click on any image below to view the full gallery, which includes comparison shots with Nova Orion and previous versions of Lio Convoy too!

I know I'm really happy with it. I wasn't sure what to expect since I didn't get Orion Pax so this is my first real encounter with the mold. It's a very solid figure with great articulation. He is a little small, even smaller than RID Warrior Op. The paint (at least on mine) is very clean and the sculpt doesn't look "soft" like some people have complained about in photos. My favorite part is how the truck mode slightly resembles a lion head with the black nose and gold mane. It's a nice figure, easily one of the best sub figures they've come up with.

I love it. The headsculpt on mine looks really sharp with good paint apps, and a very striking shade of blue that no pics ever do any justice towards and which I actually find myself liking more than the blue used on the head of my Legend Commander Collection Lio Convoy.

It also helps that a good story can really help sell a figure, as Jim Sorenson really nailed the two prose stories this iteration of Lio Convoy starred in. I hope he (Jim) keeps going with more of the Uprising story.

My only, if any, issues I have with the figure are those that stem from it using the Orion Pax mold, of which I'm not that big a fan of. But between this and the Nova Prime version, both are the better versions of the mold compared the much more plain-looking Hasbro Orion Pax.

As far as this gallery is concerned, as I said before, no pics can do the head's vivid shade of blue proper justice, but you always give it your all and then some. :APPLAUSE: I'm only a bit saddened to see no pics of TCC Lio Convoy with his (former) supervisor TCC Eject.

Turning the camera lens to the Transformers Collectors' Club subscription service 3.0 we get a very nice gallery of the 1st figure Carzap with Kreon G.B. Blackrock. Based on an unused concept that paired Transformers with Takara's Diablock building block line which was to be known as Blocktown in the post G2 era.

Carzap is a retool of the Generations Bumblebee mold which was also used for Generations Goldfire, Nightbeat as well as Goshooter which was a Million Publishing exclusive. To homage the building block aspect of Blocktown, Carzap comes with a Kre-O set that builds a gas pump which can be converted into a laser cannon. Click on any of the images to see the full gallery.

I wouldn't mind adding a few more humans to my TF collection such as GB Blackrock but certainly not Kreons. I was fond of the Human Alliance figures though so does anyone know of any other toylines that have similar figures in size and articulation that I can just buy the human figures from to customise into TF humans? Actual HA figures would be far too expensive since would have to buy the whole robot set and end up with a ton of unneeded robots. :P

I want Carzap. Alot. Which is odd cause I have no connection to the figure other than loving G2.

Yeah, I would say for 8 figures, it's worth it, but unless they swapped the stupid-cheap rubber for something that doesn't make me want to burn the mini-waspies, I will be saving my money for CW wave 3 (whenever HTS gets them instock :-x )

I don't have much interest in chasing down Diaclones for the sake of doing comparisons for these guys. If I found some for a steal, maybe, but I'd really rather finish my Takara G1 collection first.

What I am interested in knowing is where I can find out if the Reflector pilot is actually called Spy-Eye (as in the Go-Bot, which I read elsewhere on our forums) and if the Diaclone pilot which it homages is a good guy or a Waruder and who the original pilot it homages is.

On the first page that Burn Out and Lift-Ticket appear in the comic, Lift-Ticket is holding the red Reflector in camera mode and refers to it as "Spy-Eye". I'd give the page number, but the comic lacks page numbers and I wouldn't know which page to consider "Page 1" (the cover, the inside cover, or the next page with the story's beginning).

Lift-Ticket's line of dialogue reads "Hrm, the signals that are being detected by Spy-Eye... without a doubt."

Sadly, the little guy doesn't seem to appear on any other page in the comic.

As for whether the name is a reference to the GoBot, or what the nature of the Diaclone toy it homages is, I know not, but can keep looking into it.

Well, looks like finding out what Diaclone toy Spy-Eye is based on was easier than I thought. It's the Powered Suit, a biosuit that the little (good guy) Diaclone pilot figures could be put into and wear.

Is the price really that bad ? Its 4 figures. Split the price in 4 and they come out to $42.50 each plus shipping. Pretty good for an exclusive compared to millions publishing or Tokyo toy fair exclusives prices.

I mean, you can say 4x the price of a deluxe, for a deluxe and a rubber piece of crap is a good deal - as compared to more outlandish figures' prices; but to everyone on even the most lax budget, it's a rather horrendous price >:oP

So don't buy it. These are limited exclusives, and are priced accordingly. I sympathize with those who are priced out of instant gratification, but I don't see the point in constantly bellyaching about it.

These will most likely lower in price/value as time goes on. Patience.

Agreed on that. That's just the major turnoff for me with the Kreons. Their paint apps tampograph are just so poorly done and aligned. This here, looks like somebody designed them with a frickin Sharpie pen.

Hasbro should really QC these Kreon. The best tampo I ever had with Kreons was Jarugar from series 8 i think. That was superb. Colors are nice, well aligned and sharp. That proves they could do it.

Aside from the yellow paint for Nightbird's eyes and a few other minor flaws on the rest of these guys, I don't see all of the major flaws that are deserving of the comments above. With macro photography, the flaws in all Transformers toys paint jobs is brought into extreme focus. It is the bane of my existence as I try to find as near perfect specimens of each toy to photograph. The smallest flaws on these toys are brought out unfortunately by my up close and personal photography. The flaws aren't nearly as noticeable when held in hand versus under my camera lens.

Yeah, because all the other kreons you've photographed looked like crap. Oh wait, they looked fine, and the botcon kreons look like crap. Not even the past 2 years sets looked this bad. So this was either a QC issue which still further reinforces the rumor the club doesn't pay for it despite what they say. Or they gave up on this set. Either way, you don't have to rationalize the clubs mistakes, I know you want to be closer, but still.

I'm sure you meant well with your statement but please don't pull that card on me again. I do not deserve that.

In addition, you haven't seen enough photographs of mine of the Kre-o line to know whether or not the rest look just as flawed or not since I only photographed the first wave or two of products 3 years ago. I haven't photographed any of the Microchangers since the preview wave.

The latest offering in the Seibertron.com galleries in the post-BotCon 2015 weeks features some more Diaclone homages in the shape of Burn-Out and Lift-Ticket, and their pilots. These two figures are the previously 'leaked', so to speak', redecos of Generations Skids and Hoist, the former featuring a black paintjob, and the latter sporting a full red makeover - and the pilots, Dia and Cline, are repurposed from the Targetmasters that came with deluxe Scoop, Holepunch and Caliburst.

Man, look at that running silver paint on his chest, the nick in the red around the Minicon port, the messy gate mark on the right arm, the small chips and inconsistently masked red on the front of the boat, and the tarnish on the metal assembly pin.

Except then get it in hand and it looks flawless. My camera isn't even nearly as nice as Ryan's (I've seen it, and mine, albeit a DSLR as well, is like a Fischer Price My First Camera next to it). I can only imagine how bad Kreons would look if I did it, whether they came from the club or from retail.

"Wrecker" is often associated with tow-trucks like this in Japan. In fact, the Diaclone is called "4WD Wrecker Type" and RiD 2001 Tow-Line is called "Wrecker Hook" in Car Robots. It's more in the sense carrying off wrecks rather than actually causing them. :)

Funnily enough, "Wrecker Hook" is also the name of one of Tow-Line's main attacks in the RiD 2001 dub. :P

And the dub kinda went a little overboard with this attack name since he called it out just about every time he used his hook in his debut episode, when he only called it out once in the Car Robots version of the episode (during the fight at the episode's end).

Our second offering for the day, in terms of Seibertron.com exclusive photo galleries, is another haul from BotCon 2015, and another homage to the Diaclone line that preceded Transformers: General Optimus Prime and Sgt Hound!

The two figures sport some heavy military decos, with Generations Roadbuster now in camo green and Scoop in white and grey (plus a new head too), while still keeping the two Targetmaster minicons. Check them all in the image selection below, and click on any of them to access the full galleries for each!
