Sad to say it, but after opening Universe Voyager Leo Prime, he now ranks as one of the biggest rip-offs Hasbro has concocted yet. The lion's "voice box" has been removed so the button now only operates his jaw with no effects. Now we have a chunky torso where the batteries go, a voyager price tag, and a dodgy retool of the head into a squashed version of Optimus Prime's head.

Maybe this was common news to others, but I am disappointed, moreso by the fact that I was umming and ahhing about getting him in the first place.

I saw it yesterday and thought it looked like a gigantic pile of arse even in its packaging. Still, it could have been worse. They could have continued the Disney theme after Mickey and used the mold to make Mufasa Prime.

*edit: new recruits

I'm more annoyed by the fact that Leo Prime is supposed to be Lio Convoy, yet they didn't do him in the proper colours, which they managed on the Legends toy of the same name from the Classics series! Wow, way to muck up.

That's quite dissapointing. I wonder if the Vector Prime repaint is the same. No soundchip as well. Am still going to get Leo Prime as it matches Cybertron Leader Prime's colours.

Like Botcon exclusive Alpha Trion (Timelines), sadly, he has been gutted of his electronic features, rendering the Cyber Key pointless. The battery compartment is riveted shut.

I guess they wanted to keep the electronics restricted to the Ultras.

This toy is pure A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Thanks for the great deal, iceburn. He stands next to me on my top shelf, proud as punch.

[GoktimusPrime]

You know, I've never even noticed that Alpha Trion was gutted of his electronics. That's how little I care for them!
