My Armada Optimus is the Powerlynx colors, so I'm actually more interested in the normal color scheme on this release.

As for the word thing, I recall "slag" being used in Batman Beyond.

Because, for a time, the Japanese term "Convoy" was not known in the West and it's been thought of as the Japanese analogue for "Prime" (more or less). Also, just after (Galaxy Force?), there were some recolours of Leobreaker in Lio Convoy's colours and named "Leo Prime" in America (as American shop exclusives).
Have there not been any toys that came out in the west called "Lio Convoy"?

I have to figure out how to fit Armada Prime into my Gizmo-verse. He's so damn cool, but with already having Earthrise as my Optimus. I think I shall name him Armada Magnus. :geek:

The person to ask about the whole "Leo Prime/Lio Convoy" name trademark thing is whoever wrote this on our Twtter feed during one of the Hasbro roundtable discussions:


This is also supported by Seibertron's report of the same event:
The term Convoy is a trademarked name in Japan, so that name cannot be used on packaging by Hasbro.

Also by Monzo on the TFWiki Discord:
The Convoy thing was ... they seemed to say somebody else in Japan had the trademark for the word Convoy now, so Takara's asked them to use Leo Prime because the Hasbro packaging in English is sold in Japan

But seriously, I just pre-ordered those to complete my set! Ebay prices would have cost me at least $40 more for them.
