Except Bumblebee it seems :lol:

I'd buy an orange & blue version of that no worries.

Anyone know roughly how long it takes to ship an order direct from the club store? I've ordered Nova Prime and a few others, just wondering what their average handling time is before they'll be posted?

He pumped gas in the 80's too. For Goldbug, of all bots.

Who exactly is the lego guy supposed to be ? I was under the assumption it was just a random human...

In addition to what JelZe said, he's pretty much the most important human ally of the Autobots in the G1 Marvel Comics (aside from Buster Witwicky, that is).

G.B. Blackrock, a business man and Autobot ally from the Marvel comics and a semi-major player at that. The choice of him being represented by a Kreon refers to the canceled Block Town line, an attempt to mix Transformers with building blocks, and Carzap's parent line:

Expect the head to be reused for his predecessor, G1 EU Zap aka G2 Windbreaker:

That figure would be awesome - the orange and blue really pop.

So many great uses from that IDW Bumblebee mold...

Looking at the back windshield makes me wonder why we haven't gotten a Windcharger out of deluxe Bee and on the other part of the spectrum, sure, we'll most likely get Windbreaker out of Carzap, but come on! That's a dead ringer for Legends Taligate! Wonder why we got Windcarger out of Tailgate with the RTS one being so recent, Windbreaker would've been nicer, we got G2 Dreadwing after all. That said. I love my lil' red CW guy, his granite effect is awesome!

Im think because the RTS Windcharger was so hard to find, and he's one of the core original characters - "easy money" repaint? He was also in the flashback parts of the MTMTE comics... Hopefully we see more bright and colourful redecos of that mould in the future.

Nova Prime is shipping really fast. Some people, like fellow user Powered Convoy, have already gotten him in hand.

Hmm my order that was placed about 5:30am Thursday their time is still marked as "Not Shipped." Hopefully that's just them not updating the system or that it'll go out sometime today

Good news folks for those waiting on their TCC exclusive Lio Convoy, we just got word from Seibertron.com member Zomatron that he just got his in today! That means everyone should be receiving theirs in soon if you haven't gotten it already! Lio Convoy is a repaint of Generations Orion Pax with a new head. Check out the picture that Zomatron was kind enough to provide and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

That looks HORRIBLE! :shock:

There is NO excuse for such shoddy workmanship on such a high-priced figure! None! :BANG_HEAD:

Yeesh... that's really bad even by Club standards. Did something happen to the molds, or the materials that they were made from?

News Credits: 25 · by **SW's SilverHammer** » Mon May 18, 2015 4:07 pm

I remember saying when pictures first came out months ago "man that head sculpt looks horrible compared to the concept art". I also remember being told "it looks fine, you're over exaggerating they never look like the concept art". Who's laughing now! Still not me.

Peaugh didn't get his from the club, either. So. Pretty sure he got one that ended up in the "factory reject" pile.

Here's a few up close shots of the head on mine for comparison.

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks again, shajaki!

If you use the "img" tag you can show us the pics instead of just link them to us

Anyways it looks much better that other shot!

I did try that, but I couldn't get it to work for some reason. Now I know why. Thank you!

I cant wait for Nova Prime to come in the mail

Okay, now I need to start readying my "No, honey... I didn't buy something else off of ebay" speech. "This is a free figure from the TF Club... honest! Really..." :-D

looking forward to mine arriving. Probably sometime next month with international shipping, but I'll be picking up Nova Prime at the post office tomorrow (hopefully)

Lio Prime has such a long face. It probably would've been better to give the Orion headsculpt a faceplate and taller antenna ears

Popular Youtuber Peaugh has gotten his hands on the Transformers Collectors' Club Exclusive Lio Convoy, and as usual fired up his video camera for a review! The Beast Wars: Uprising character is a retool of the Generations Orion Pax mold, sports a new head sculpt, and shares all this in common with the other Club Exclusive Nova Prime. Keep scrolling to see the Peaugh's review, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!
