The toy is a pretty bad likeness to the show character who bursts in with both of his modes conspicuously elaborate and lovingly detailed wolf and robot modes. The way he barges in and talks like a dnd character and looks like one in robot mode and oh he has electric powers and a long backstory really makes him feel like a writers oc, except he's kind of just Silverbolt again.

That's too bad, but it's still a rad toy imo and it'll probably end up on my shelf all the same

He’s too much of a dork to be a self insert, really

And yeah the toy isn’t too great looking sadly

$140-180 depending on where you buy and it's incredibly screen accurate.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


theres the perfect effect leonidas, who looks a lot cooler and is slightly cheaper and much better made.




he's less show accurate, but i think for a lot of people that is a bonus, at least for the beast mode.

a big problem i had with the japan exclusive beast wars toys is a lot of them had basically 0 articulation in animal mode, being big ol shell formers.

Rhyno, I hope you enjoy your new Leo and I hope that it is very cool!

I’d like to grab something for like $30-50 to finally ship my MMC Tyrantron for free (because that just makes financial sense) but I don’t know what.

Lio Convoy was due to arrive today but it is still at the Dayton DHL hub.


Japan to Ohio in 14 hours and then it sits in Dayton for 12 more. I just want my Lion bot!

I opened ER Hoist. He’s pretty good, but that huge empty space at the front of his altmode is really unsightly.

I have a tiny paint chip scrape but I don't know if I did it. That is all. I had to use a video for the transformation because there were two steps that didn't feel like they should work but they did.

I had no issues, the paint scrape is on the protrusion for his insignia. I cant see how I would have caused it but it's not visible from dead on. I will probably never put him back into beast mode as robot mode is so amazing.

I really like the sculpt and the white and maybe it's just the photo but that red looks baaaaaaad.

Is that the barrier / ramp guy in the background? He any good?

I found one in the wild. He sure is a ramp! About as posable as the other battlemasters.

How do you define a "good ramp"

Also just found out Crosshair's canopy is double jointed so it sits more flush...

It's just real rampy, you can roll some stuff off of it real good.

when those drat autobots can't stop ramping off each other's battlemasters long enough to figure out what guns to put in their 5mm pegholes

also probably whether or not combining with the other basemode stuff works effectively

I was expecting one end of the ramp part to touch the ground, but his robot parts make that hard unless the ramp is nearly vertical.
