Looks like Peaugh got a headsculpt that isn't as sharp-looking as the one posted by Zomatron.

I always thought "Lio Convoy" was the Japanese version of Leo Prime, so isn't it pronounced Lee-Oh, not Lie-Oh?
I'm looking forward to mine arriving, whenever it does, be good to compare him in hand with Nova Prime

The Japanese pronounce it like we would pronounce "Lion", so it's "Lie-Oh". In fact, "Lio" as part of a name is quite common there.

The paint on my Lio Convoy's head seems to bleed over where it is supposed to be on the eyes so that one eye looks bigger than the other. It's a small thing, but when the main thing advertised about a figure is that it has a new head... the head needs to be well painted, and not look like poo.

honestly I think they're a bit hindered in that regard because they have to make their heads single piece sculpts. Most (though admittedly not all) transformers have two piece head sculpts, where the eyes are part of the back piece of the head. That way even if the eyes are painted, they're done separately from the face, so there's no possibility of bleedover. If hasbro did all their heads single piece they'd probably have the same issue on a good portion of each run

I got my Lio Convoy today and his headsculpt deco really pops! The vivid shade of blue is gorgeous, and the paint apps are near perfect with virtually no flaws to speak of. I must have been fortunate because this is definitely one of the better headsculpt decos we've seen for this figure.

Got me Lio Convoy yesterday as well. He looks tight with great paint apps and a kickass looking head sculpt. This is the first figure I have of this mould and I have to say I was a bit let down when I opened the box and saw how small he is in alt mode. After transforming Lio though he turns into a badass looking, buff, tough little bot hehe. I'm ok with Beast Wars type characters being a little smaller since they suppose to be in the fiction. So glad Lio Convoy was the free one this time cause Nova just dont feel right in this mold, but Lio is awesome.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronians Bounti76 and Megatronus for letting us know that the first figure from Transformers Collectors' Club subscription service 3.0 has started to arrive in mailboxes. Even better they sent us pics of the newly arrived figure. Bounti76 has Nova Prime unboxing the figure while Chromia looks on. The images that Megatronus sent us gives us another look at the figure as well as the Kre-O pieces that make up G.B. Blackrock and a laser blaster that converts to a gaspump. Check your mailboxes to see if Carzap with G.B. Blackrock is waiting for you too.

Honestly? He wasn't on my most anticipated list for the TFSS, let alone my list of figures that I'd want to rave about, but in hand, I feel like he's the best use of this mold so far, and a great figure. No tampos or paint running into the unpaintable plastic and suddenly stopping, no thin paint discolored by the black plastic of the forearms, reserved paint apps that bring out the details without overwhelming, and they fixed the forearm 5mm slots so the weapon halves can peg in under them again. Only thing wrong with mine is the ball joints for the feet seem to still have mold release fluid on them, making them too slick. I'll fix that tomorrow.

That's good to hear, the ports under the arms on Nightbeat and JP Gold Bumblebee are useless for posing without the use of blu-tac, so this guy should be a bit nicer to pose.
Perfect for my Neo G2 collection.

Don't tell me the only instructions to build the gas pump are just two pictures?
I got Lio Convoy today but I'm selling it to my friend since he's more into it. Not even opening the box, although I probably should now that I'm thinking about it. Really more into Nova Prime.

I think I'll be more into Lio. I've been liking the Beast Wars inspired figures, and the mold works for Nova Prime, but it's not perfect. Plus, the cat face on Lio in alt-mode is adorable.
