Not complicated at all: it just turns inside out.

See, you make it sound so easy

But it’ll probably take the bulk of the instructions it looks nearly im-paws-able.

I just want to say, cat puns are for winners.

Cat puns are purr-fect (I love cats)

About the shoulder, I pretty much called it on this figure, considering I saw the organic lion head on the inside of the shoulder. I like this MP, and I think the lion mode is pretty good (better than the previous versions at least) and that robot mode looks spectacular. I have no connection with this character, nor do I know who he really is, I would gladly buy this figure just for his design.

Also, do I spot a hinge on his chest plate? One that may allow for this?

To be fair Nathaniel, I think we all saw that other lion head poking out there I didn't realise that the mane changed like that though, I can see Lio being more expensive then Primal for the upped parts count.

I also concur on the chest hinge, there's most likely something behind that door.

While I have zero interest in Lio Convoy, I do hope he doesn't end up a one off, like Star Saber. Beast Wars II MP Galvatron (although I would love both G1 and BW, naturally) I would really be interested in.

Don’t get me wrong, Lio Convoy looks sexy, it’s just.... I really wanted Jazz or another Season 1/2 character made.

Same here. I don't think anyone expected, let alone asked for, Lio Convoy.

It would be all kinds of wrong for this MP to omit the Energon Matrix.

If that were the case, did they ask for the whole series to be represented? If that happens, potentially the entire Beast Wars toyline will be made into Masterpiece.

I'd be fully onboard for that

They have to have the Energon Meowtrix if they don’t it’d be a litter-al cat-astrophe.

So now Masterpiece has gone full Beast Wars?

Why don't they make some RID, Energon, Armada or Cybertron characters?

Why not? They are just spinning their wheels with G1 now. As I've said elsewhere, if they are not moving forward with the series, why not just put G1 to the back burner and go for full on MP Beast Wars, RiD, Unicron Trilogy instead? It might prove more successful than they realise.

Not quite all BW, we still have Hound to look forward to, as well as Jazz, Trailbreaker, Hoist and... that blue guy who hardly showed up in the cartoon, what's his name again?

Other than Hound (and Bluestreak+), I seem to recall the rest of those are rumoured, at best(poor Jazz).
Wouldn't it be funny if MP Hot Shot or MP Bulk Head outsold Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Megatron or Ultra Magnus?

I'd love to see that.

Imagine if they made mp Energon Optimus, they'd have to make an mp Wing Saber and an Energon Omega Supreme to combine with

Wonder which character will be lucky mp 50...

I've started some speculation on that very thing in the General MP thread

Galvatron? Or a new Rodimus?

Anyway, am loving Lio Convoy, because this figure is just one sexy looking bot. I would love an MP of that Mammoth Prime too.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want to buy this MP, it just looks so damn cool.

Inb4 BWII Galvatron to go against this guy.

Either Galvatron would be great!

Damn cartoon accuracy. Can't wait to see MP-48+.

If licensing is an issue for Masterpiece G1 figures, I don't understand why after 15 years we haven't gotten a Masterpiece Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Arcee, Kup, Blurr, Insecticons, Perceptor, Blaster or any of the other non-licensed alt mode Transformers characters that are popular. Lots of amazing figures to choose from that don't need a licensing agreement. Happy to get Beast Wars Masterpiece figures, but not in lieu of G1 Masterpiece figures that need to get finished up at this point before we get a Masterpiece Bumblebee Version 3.

Hopefully not before we get a Masterpiece G1 Galvatron.

Yes, we need that first.

I reckon there’s more of a chance they give us a new anime accurate seeker at this point... though will likely be 250usd at this rate. Really hope the round off the ark crew though. Basically the last ones I believe are mirage, Jazz and trailbreaker. The latter two have repaint potential (though would be interesting to see how they’d handle the screen differences between trail breaker and hoist) and the minibots.

Re lio convoy... don’t know much of the series etc and I’ve kept away from beast wars mps but I must admit this guy is pretty spiffy, love the clean lines in robot mode, broken up my his asymmetric design with the lion head shoulder pad... clever way to reduce back kibble... shift it to the shoulder.

I’m waiting for mp waspinator to tip my toes in bw mp’s.
