It's getting less and less likely as time goes on that the current colors are some elaborate prank by Hasbro, with the nice Lioconvoy colors to be in place by the time he hits shelves.

Ah well, a guy can dream. I reckon it was pretty damn unlikely from the very beginning But hey, he's quite clearly Lio Convoy. Now that argument will FINALLY be put to rest |

Having a paramilitary force to "rough up" Predacons that isn't under the command (or authority) of the civilian leadership seems to fit the fascist Maximals of Beast Wars rather neatly.

Now, if only Simon Furman and Ben Yee had called him that. well at the time of writing, there was no Leo Prime toy and they weren't into making up new names for existing toys. Classics Legends Leo Prime? Released afterwards. |

Now, if only Simon Furman and Ben Yee had called him that. well at the time of writing, there was no Leo Prime toy and they weren't into making up new names for existing toys. There totally was. When Leo Prime was announced/came out, the Beast Wars Sourcebook and The Ascension was still in that long, Movie-created limbo. At BotCon 2007, I asked Ben, if because of the toy, the name would be changed when the book eventually came out. He said no, because he likes the name LioConvoy. Even though it never made any friggin' sense in English, ever. Argh. LIO CONVOY'S NAME MEANS LION PROCESSION OF TRUCKS -------------------- |

Oh right, okay.
Anyway, regarding the sub-title thing, I wonder what they will say about Generation 2 on the back of Inferno's packaging. |

LIO CONVOY'S NAME MEANS LION PROCESSION OF TRUCKS To be fair, it could be Lion Procession of Cars or Lion Procession of Ships. -------------------- I have signatures disabled because they suck.

So maybe "The Pack" should all transform into trucks and ships?

God love Ben, but he's such a friggin Japanophile.

Eh, I don't mind the name switch but would prefer Lio Convoy, only due to the lack of BW II fiction in the states. But most likely if BW II were ever translated in English it would most likely be Leo Prime.
On another note, someone needs to change the caption under the picture of the toy on the TFWiki. -------------------- |
