I am gunno fork out for either one of these figures. So, which one do you guys think is worth more? The mammoth or the lion?

The Lion. LioConvoy is freakin' awesome

Yeah, I kinda think Big convoy is kinda lame. Plus the fact that half of him tf's into a bot, and the other half transforms into A GIANT ASS FREAKING gun.

Lio Convoy/Leo prime is the one I'd buy, Big Convoy/Maximal Prime is still cool too, but I much prefer his Nemesis Repaint colors.. But Leo Prime is the King of beasts and some how very noble looking as well, i'd go for the Robot Masters version it's the best!!

Meh, Robot Masters are too small for me.

Big Convoy if you can get him below $30 USD. but i hear he's a killer to transform back to mammoth mode.

Leo Convoy's meh, lion shoulders are too big. the RM version's much better, plus, it would scale since Leo Convoy and Optimus Primal are about the same size (talking in reference to TM-01 primal).

I'm in love with my Big Convoy. Oh my god. i've never watched a beast wars II or neo cartoon, and saw one panel of him in the IDW books, but his toy is amazing and I love it! I just figured out I could attach his gun to his back, he looks so friggin uber.

I'd vote for him.

i also bought lio convoy but he hasnt arrived yet.. and that's a good point about the RM version... size difference and what not.. i should have thought about that before, DOH

Eh, I like 'em both. Leo Convoy is just a cool all around leader type figure. Big Convoy just looks bad ass. He's big(hehe), bulky, and looks like a huge pile of kick ass. It's hard to choose, so get both. You won't be disappointed.

OK, I just got BOTH at my local hobby shop. I can tell you now, since I am a cat lover, I like Leo Prime more. Big Prime is...well, ok I guess...in mammoth mode he can't really do anything, then in robot mode, he looks baddass, but then add his 'Big Cannon' and it looks freakin rediculas! I mean mine can't even hold it up without it drooping down. On Leo Prime, The flaps that cover his chest and legs in bot mode are extremely loose, which is also the case with his lion head. Plus, his right arm has about 0 posability.

Big Prime has the matrix, you can't go wrong with that!

I have LioConvoy, but sometimes I wish I also have Big Convoy.

GOOD MAN buying both. THat's what I did!

If you mess around with the gun, you can get it pointing up while holding it with 1 hand, mess around with his waist and legs and you could get him to hold it with 2, but it's a bit to big and you don't see much of him.. lol

I have mine attached horizontally to his back. He looks mammoth! (haha)

Big Convoy.

Geez.

and don't give me that crap about him being hard to transform, he's not. Put the arms in place, fold the legs, then line up the shell. Done.

Leo Convoy is alright, but he's not the "One Man Army". Also, his plastic feels considerably cheeper than Big.
