Tagoal has an extensively long gallery of the lot so we're simply linking directly to their post here. That said, we've still included some of the most notable ones below - including comparisons with their Hasbro counterparts; showing that aside from the much better painted robot modes, each Headmaster seems to have much brighter, vibrant shades of colour than their Hasbro counterparts - which may even be better for MTMTE displays in the case of Chromedome and Brainstorm! For the comparisons keep in mind that the Takara versions of Brainstorm, Chromedome and Hardhead are in the middle while Brawn, Clobber and Skytread are to the right. Take a look and tell us what you think in the forums!

Awesome comparisons! Strange that "Clobber" doesn't have blue optics.
That Legends-Class Brawn looks pretty cool, too.

It's also strange that Brawn has a blue helmet.

Depending on the episode, Brawn could sometimes look like he had a blue helmet in the cartoon.

While the Toy-fair hype is still dying down, let's jump across the pond for a bit, and look at some new in-hand images of Takara Legends LG-41 Lio Convoy! Courtesy of Alfes2010 on twitter, the new group of images show off the toy's Lion, Robot, and battle cruiser modes! Check 'em out below!

Leo Prime has some surprises in the names department: the English calls out "Ancient Leo to Robot", and his Japanese title is マクシマル上級司令官 makushimaru joukyuu shireikan or "Maximal Advanced Supreme Commander", not "Cybertron". Would that connect him to his Prime incarnation?

My Lio Prime not only shipped from Amazon Japan but there was a price reduction too. Shipped from Japan is now several dollars cheaper than BBTS before shipping.

But isnt that usually the case, and why we all import figures ourselves?

Well, even if it is the TF:Prime version, that version was still the BWII cartoon version having dimension-hopped from one world to another and having changed his name from "Great Lio Convoy" to "Leo Prime".fenrir72 wrote:So this IS Lioconvoy and not an alternate version of him?

No. Amazon has a lowest price guarantee that other retailers don't have. I've only used Amazon Japan once, and I saved a couple of bucks. This time I saved much more, almost $10.

Sure sure, but thats like Arcee being Rattrap's aunt (it was aunt right?). Its for the sake of this cute little continuity world and I wasnt really thinking about it.
Anywho, speaking how all the toys of Lio COnvoy are of the same guy, I thought this pic I came across was fun

Also, here he is compared to Alpha Trion (not the greatest image)

This image is better

Its cool how they are the same height

I'd be curious to see how Leo Prime looks with Ginrai or Wave 3 Prime's head

So buying directly from Japan is usually not advantageous?

Um, you edited the part of my post where I explained why Amazon Japan in my opinion is better. If there's another online seller that has a low price guarantee and a flat, fast shipping option, I'm not aware. I should mention Amazon Japan is finicky about what you can order.

Hmm. I think I'll look for Alpha Trion. This Lio Convoy is handsome, and the colours/headsculpt suit it well, but as Lio Convoy it just doesn't work that well. To me, it ain't Lio Convoy without the entire lion head being used as a gigantic asymmetrical pauldron.
