Plus a Notroplex with all the same, fully realised modes as the original, plus its Minicon.
Hollowness might not be so bad, if it could be used for figure integration/interaction, but as I recall, the Ark could barely fit a basic class figure, if that.
"Fully realized"? Are we looking at the same Cybertron toy?
Not to mention the hands, gone are the days of Metroplex and Fort Max having fingers, so long electronics, and they have the audacity to add £80 to the price.
I honestly don't care for electronics in giant toys because I never put the batteries in anyway.
Toys (especially big ones) are always more functional and pleasurable if you insert the batteries prior to use...

And my order is already being prepared for shipping!
Home come Lio Convoy gets be in this line when he has not shown up a lot in fiction outside Japan?
Because the current Transformers team at Hasbro is made up of people who are fans of the Japanese side of Transformers, and they wanted to make the new toy of him in honor of the 25th anniversary of Beast Wars Second.
Same reason why they made Metalhawk in this line, for the 35th anniversary of Super-God Masterforce.
I do enjoy the look of the TR/Legends PMOP/God Ginrai, but I certainly wouldn't complain about another go at it. One, 'cause I'm greedy and always want more takes on it; two, 'cause I would like another modern go that might actually hold some dynamic poses; and three, one that actually has the core robot would be nice. Hi-Q/Ginrai would also be rad, but I can honestly live without them since I don't think I've ever removed them from my originals.
I always would be up for more modern renditions of PMOP. That G1 toy was one of my favorites as a kid. Imagine what a commander class version of the toy could be!
I would buy a PMOP any day of the week love PMOP best X-mas ever was X-Mas of 88
I even own a JPN with version with armor of PMOP but guess who gets to be on the shelf OG US version
Now mind you this is not the one I had as a kid I played with mine till the arms littraly fell off the hitch broke and I lost a ramp due to "battle damage"
So when I got older I replaced it and gave the other one away

So what are the chances of getting figures of Galvatron BW, Big Convoy and Magmatron?
We don't know. Probably not very likely since they're not as well-known as Lio Convoy.
Even in Japan, he's the only one from the two Japanese-original Beast Wars shows that the Japanese fans seem to even care about.
I figure Big Convoy has the best chance given he’s had an American release of the original mold and a somewhat recent reissue so the market is likely there.
BW Galvatron second as his original mold is lost, it would give Lioconvoy an enemy to fight, and he’s a pretty normal Transformer.
Magmatron is highly unlikely given he’d probably need a Commander release and he has a dearth of fiction so he’d be almost unknown to the populace at large.

Why would Japanese fans not care about Beast wars neo and why is Lio Convoy more well known?
Because Beast Wars Neo flopped in Japan. Both it and Beast Wars Second were only made to serve as filler series until the rest of the American Beast Wars cartoon was ready to be aired in Japan, since only the first season had aired in Japan at the time.
Lio Convoy is more iconic than Big Convoy because Lio Convoy was the traditional good guy leader hero archetype, and turned into a very popular animal form. Lions are some of the most well-liked animals among kids. The powerhouse successes of both The Lion King and Kimba the White Lion are testaments of that. Kids like lions.
