I was going to get Robotmasters lio convoy (because of that nice looking head) but he looked smaller then my 10th anniversary TRU Primal, so i got the bigger one. Still looking forward to big convoy though, oh my god hurry up!!!

I have my eyes on the RM Lio Convoy myself. From what I've been told, he is on the same scale as the Takara 10th Primal I just received.

Also I like the RM version when compared to his bigger version. The Robot Masters looks smaller and more detailed. Where did you pick-up Big Convoy from?

dude, the RM lio convoy kicks ass. it's on scale with your TM-01 optimus primal. when paired with the basics (razorbeast, rattrap) you can see that these are actually show-accurate when it comes to size. the BW neo cartoon shows lio and primal about the same size. check out this pic:

you see, BW 'formers actually are smaller than the G1 'formers because of some weird story continuity that makes 'em more energy efficient or something like that.

i also like the ultra-class lio convoy, but the shoulder mane hurts his balance and poseability.

in short, get the lio convoy RM version. it's smaller, on scale and much more fun.

As long as they are complete and in good condition, It's okay if they are out of the box. I don't like keeping boxes anyways. I don't have the room for them and its no fun playing with a box... well unless you can make something out of it or its big enough to sit in/use as a disguise.

RM Lio Convoy looks sweet, I wish I could find one hehe.

i can't believe it's been 10 long days since the last post here! any updates?

slumble, can you tell us if the DVD that comes with TM-01 primal has english translation? i mean, it would suck if the DVD would be unviewable to us non-japanese speaking TF fans.

also, i'm curious about the quality of plastic - is it good like BW or Cybertron? i'm asking this because a friend of mine got a Robot Masters megatron, and i was horrified by the light and cheap feel of its plastic - so unlike beast wars.
