Great galleries

I'd like to note that Universe Overload is actually inspired by Micromaster Flak.

Which is interesting since this mold was remolded into BotCon 2009 exclusive Flak.

I will when the Target exclusive white repaint of this figure comes out later this year.

For non Botcon 2009 attendees, here's a part of the set on the cheap.

That's based on his Marvel's Transformers Universe bio, which states that he was a janitor of the Fuel-Spill Section of the Ministry of Energy and Nutrition on Cybertron. Hazardous Material, you see?

I've just recently started to get back into collecting after a very long absence. I know that a lot of the 07 movie figures were repaints of earlier lines like Energon, Armada, etc. Anyway, I'm really digging Crankcase and wondered what mold he is a repaint of?

Crankcase is a repaint of Cybertron Red Alert, and was also repainted into two other figures, Cybertron Cannonball, a black and white version, and Botcon Timelines Kup, a teal version of the figure.

Hmmm.. I really like Crankcase but it was a Wal-mart exclusive, thus i was never able to go it. Cannonball and Red Alert were both Cybertron figures, and I was in my Transformers hiatus during that time. So it looks like Kup is the closest thing I have to obtaining the mold... WTF?

Why does everyone hate Leo Prime? I love him! Then again, I didn't get Leobreaker, Nemesis Breaker, or Razorclaw, but still! For crying out loud, he's AWESOME!!! :DANCE:

And I don't even have Cybertron Optimus (I wish I did :HALUC:

, He's calling me)!

One more thing.

Hypnotic voice: :HALUC:

You will all love Leo Prime! You will all love Leo Prime! You will all... :HALUC:

I don't hate him. I like his character. He is awesome. Especially in the movie when he became Flash Lio Convoy.

This figure also recently appeared in All Hail Megatron.

Edit: Actually, I was thinking the other Scattorshot repaint, Dropshot. In the words of Op: My bad.

Leo Prime is hideous. The mold itself is just not appealing.

Lio Convoy is awesome. Character wise, and the figure don't look to bad either.
