Legacy Voyager LEO PRIME: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff 

I really hope we get a "Big Convoy" Mammoth transformer as I honestly think it's high time he gets an update imo

There’s a lore reason now as to why Lio Convoy, and by extension, Big Convoy, look the way they do. Far in the future of the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity, thousands of years after the events of Beast Machines when Beast Wars II and Neo happens, we have a breed of Cybertronians called the “Convoy type”. These bots were forged by Vector Sigma in the image of Optimus Primal, considered Cybertron’s greatest hero after Beast Machines happened. These bots were intended to be the ruling class of the planet, forming the Convoy Council. This includes Lio Convoy, Blue Big Convoy, Big Convoy, Great Convoy, Reverse Convoy, Fire Convoy, and Galaxy Convoy.

The lion face on the box vs the actual toy is just the perfect example of expectation vs reality 😂

Really hope we get more primes from the Japanese continuity and the lineage of primes that were before Optimus

"There's always going to be some robot bits peeking out" So you'd say it's the... ...nature of the beast?

the robot mode bits on his hind legs are accurate to how he should look...probably because the animators stuck so closely to the toy

tbh i think this guy is a bit more successful than the masterpiece, mostly because of the beast mode. the bwii anime could give them a bit of an out because it was animated with some robot mode colours poking out, but the masterpiece is just made of too many parts that are not close enough together to create a convincing animal. the lion face on this guy also isn’t perfect, but the rest of him looks so smooth and clean, it’s wonderful, feels much more whole than the masterpiece did.

"Trukk not Munky" gets blasted by the inclusion of KITTY!

From the Japanese Beast War animated movie, the bloosh effect that can be done with Legacy Evo Leo Prime's chest is one half of the Double Matrix Blast. The Double Matrix Blast was done with Optimus Primal in his Burning Convoy mode and Lio Convoy in his Flash Lio Convoy mode. I'm hoping that Hasbro gives us Flash Leo Prime and Burning Optimus Primal. This would mean that the Kingdom BW Optimus Primal mold would need some retooling to create his half of the Double Matrix Blast. I doubt Hasbro will be using "Convoy", as "Convoy" is only used in Japan.

This guy is my most anticipated figure of next year. As a big BW fan, BWII was a fun show and Lio Convoy has hands down one of the best designs out there honestly. Really hope we get a BWII Galvatron and more from Japanese Beast Wars.

Leo Prime! Maximize!

I hope this means that we'll eventually gonna get Magnaboss in legacy.

Am I crazy or does this look nicer in sculpt and proportion than the masterpiece?

Beast-Formers - Kibble in Disguise.

I don't want them to stop until I have every prime/convoy and especially every major beast wars character

Got this guy on preorder on Hasbro Pulse and am awaiting him with anticipation. Lio is my favorite Maximal.

Lio prime looks very sad in his beast mode but millions of years of civil war can make any bot sad with the exception of the decepticons of course

Just finished reviewing this glorious bastard, and I have to say, he REALLY pushes engineering boundaries in a new direction and I am LOVING IT.

When you have the tab blasters stored in the robot mode's backpack you could pretend it's a kind of jetpack, like Optimus Primal's butt-jets. They peek out of the bottom a very tiny bit, but I don't have any bloosh pieces, so I can't confirm if they'd actually fit.

I love it for the most part, but legs and arms that only goes to 90° is kinda disappointing. But still, looks good and feels good.

I think the lion parts concealed the robot parts quite well. Too bad the lion’s ears weren’t painted white, though.

I do enjoy this Leo Prime figure, but I don't like that the paw blades are basically backwards... Luckily, Hasbro put a swivel there to switch it around to where it's accurate.

Even if you don't like Leo Prime, you could absolutely do a head swap with Earthrise, or even Siege Optimus Prime if you want to.

I expected to like this toy, I didn't expect to fall in love with it, which I absolutely did. There's just not a lot to complain about here., overall really solid figure.

Was that a Kamen Rider Evol reference I heard during the box overview? Nice.

The legendary lio convey.

He kinda looks like a Great Dane with a lion mane.

I like the Leo Prime with the lightsaber like weapon that they should've given with this Leo prime transformer

If Leo Prime needs a litter box, what would Primal need??😳

If the leader Tigerhawk & voyager Silverbolt listings for Legacy, year 3 do come true; I hope generation selects will take them & Kingdom Optimus Primal & release repaints of them in their Universe/2003 characters!!🤩 Same w/ some other figures coming out soon too!!🤞🤞

looks really good hope I can get it

I noticed that the Masterpiece Leo Prime has FIVE toes on his feet, when it should be just four...

Can’t wait for mine to ship this week.. however I’ll be doing some shading on his face and giving him pupils lol.

I can't wait for the realistic lion repaint we're gonna get in a few months and the best part is it'll be free!

I have the precious version and it had a button you cold push and four parts of the mane will spin. Too bad this one doesn't have that.

3rd party kit to fix that beast face PLEASE is all im asking, the rest looks good imo, only other thing id ask for is the sword and cape from the IDW ver

Always a pleasure to watch your reviews.

You just convinced me to get this toy

I bet it scales well with Encore Big Convoy.

Here's hoping someday we get a Masterpiece Big Convoy...

Fun fact: the cybertronian on the side of the box translates to "Leo prime"

18:05 well that's just prime lol

Oh man Lio Convoy is one of my favorites from my collection of imports. I've pre-ordered him so that once I get my new place he can join his elder incarnation on the shelf.

My god why does the lion face look like Jason from Friday the 13th 😂 looks like a lion hockey mask

Is it just me, or does the lion head look a bit awkward in both Robot and Beast Mode? I know they went with a "Realistic" Lion Mode, but still... Anyway, may you have a blessed New Year Emgo. And prepare the BLOOOOSH!

Has the lion head been altered because it looks no where as bad as the images that where released months ago

Your blooosh thing cracks me up every time.

Leo prime looks good. That needs primes animal Alt mode.

Those cold dead pupil eyes is such a let down. Other than that I like him.

Yea the head Mostly also Maybe hes tail is a bit to short as well

Just got me copy today at Walmart so far I love it

Holyshit ... the Transformation is Hard

That Kimba is gonna look like Simba in a few years time with all that white

Has anyone tested to see if Kingdom BW Optimus Primal--in his beast mode--can ride Legacy Evo Leo Prime--in his beast mode, like in the Beast Wars animated movie?

Does it look like the lion head can position in front of the robot mode chest? I've read rumors that we're going to get a Thundertron in Legacy and I'm wondering if this is going to be retooled into Thundertron with some changes to the transformation steps.

looks better than the robot masters ^__^

Sadly, my opinion of this toy didn't really change between the initial reveal and now. That lion head looks _so bad_ . I really hope that there are third party upgrade kits to replace it in the pipeline, because man oh man does that drag it down. I just want a good Lio Convoy with no compromises, for once. But every version has something holding it back. Perfect Effect's can go real floppy over not too long a period of time. The Masterpiece's shoulders are a too floaty, and the beast mode is much more gappy than I'd like on an MP...and it's more expensive than I'm comfortable spending. The Flame Toys doesn't transform. I still love it, though. The design's great and it's a really good action figure. Legit better built than 99% of my Gundam kits, but I was still left wanting for one that transforms. Then there's this one...a mostly solid take, with a cool transformation and neat features. But the lion head is just _so_ ugly. To the point that I don't even think it looks much like a lion at all. It looks more like a weird...horse-dog...thing, than an actual lion. Now I know how people who bought Titans Return Galvatron felt...a bad head really _can_ ruin what would otherwise have been a really good toy. Nice review as always, though Emgo. Really appreciate you still going strong after all these years!

"His nips will light out darkest hour". So he is a Guyver! XD

I psssed on the MP because i didnt like how the lion head sat so high on the shoulder, but for this my only gripe is the lion face design, I hope 3rd party comes out with a nicer looking one.

His left shoulder looks like a bird's head.

Well thank you so much emgo i am picking up this figure as soon as possible

It’s two names, lion, convoy and lion prime ?

Cleans up well.. Great Review ✨️😀

im gonna get this boi tommorw. Hopefully its good:) the lion face is kinda disappointing but i alr payed so cant turn back

@emgo316 Are you gonna review more of the Transformers Earthspark figures? I enjoyed the Bubble bee review.

Masterpiece and legacy comparising in beast mode looks like night and day but don't know which tho

Must have!

Just bought it transforming it for the first time the head popped off and is now extremely loose wow

Leo prime, Big convoy and Optimus primal is Optimus Prime

If kimba the white lion was a transformer

i so hope leo convoy wont yellow...... fingers crossed

Now don't get me wrong this is an amazing figure but to be honest im kinda disappointed he doesn't have the actual blaster like what the masterpiece lio convoy offered,hopefully there's a dna weapons /upgrade kit later on

The question remains: Is Optimus' fursona an ape, lion or mammoth?

I just found this guy and tarn out in the wild got both of them

The freakin geek himself

Thank you for this video.

I feel like I haven’t heard the big old blue in five years

Keep it up emgo

I can't get past how the lion looks like someone put a mask over a big hunk of hair. His eyes really needed to be painted a different color than the mane.

"INFERNO ROAR"

He looks like he does in the anime almost. Almost you know

We demand a new Longrack!

One of his guns is basically an uzi lol

why is Legacy Cosmos so expensive

Man I can't wait, I really, REALLY want this guy (not as much as I'd love getting a WFC ER/Kingdom Optimus, but...pretty close) I damn love Leo Prime, and they truly made him justice with this mold (I've just noticed though...will this suffer from the gold plastic syndrome?)

I really hope for a lot more!!!! Beast War Galvatron (Leo Prime counterpart)! Big Prime and Magmatron!!! Also, Titan class Tidal Wave!!!!

Leo Prime needs a weapons upgrade

But can he rise?

Dunno why but I feel a Kamen rider beast joke could have been made with Leo prime lol

If only the lion head was the same as on the box.

Big convoy please Hasbro...........😭

I wish those weapons were red instead gold.

Where is your Perfect Effect Lio Prime?

hi and i always wanted to know the name of that hero factory looking transformer with the autobot and decepticon bot

How long till he turns yellow? 3 or 4 months

If that's not Prime he's lion! 🦁

Just started where did you get?

Wow

Not a lion head, is a dog. Sit down Optimus, gives paw lol

No Lion-mode Blooooosh...
