I passed on the first one and the black recolor because that lion face never looked good, and Lioconvoy isn't a character i care about enough to warrant a so-so purchase. Thinking about this one.
Convoy Sentai Lioger
One Galva Convoy, please.
Wasn't it specifically Lio Convoy's body with BM Snarl's head so that they could fudge it either way the mould use permissions came down?Pfft, amateurs. Give me an "Alpha Lion"!
Before they opted with Beast Machines Snarl, the original Lio Convoy mold was 3H's first consideration.
Now THAT would be an interesting figure.
All lion moulds become Lio Convoy/Leo Prime eventually.
And Shattered Glass Alpha Trion's second body.
That or crabs.
Anyone done a digi bash of G1 Razorclaw as LioConvoy.
-ZacWilliam, sounds like it would rule.
Looking at that reminds me, I'd still like to see a good Primal Prime with a full face plate, like the comics.
As for LioConvoy, I don't have a super strong attachment to the character -- yet, still need to watch all of BWII -- but I would like to have him, as I remember going to my first comic convention (a Heroes Con in NC), and one of the things I bought was the first volume of Beast Wars II on VHS, the first three episodes, subbed.
Prior to that, I'd never even heard of BWII, and I was so enamored I chose that over getting Headmasters, which I had heard about.
Also, BWII/Neo kinda occupies a similar place in JG1 as Legends does in Mega Man, so that has some appeal to me as well.
I have a fondness for Lio stemming from when BW2 overstock or warehouse clearing stock or whatever randomly showed up here and I got a first taate of BW2 in the early 2000s, right as I was getting back into Transformers full swing. Took a bus to a part of the city I'd never been before, getting lost on the way to find the store that had one piece left (perceived rarity plus "it's an Optimus prime" had gotten scalpers all over the earliest batches). All in between classes. Worth it.
(I'd love a new Galvatron as well. And hey, still think Cyborg Beast retools of Kingdom and ROTB moles would be awesome to get.)
The Legacy one is a great update and looks really good. Love everything exceot the lion face, really. But I'm not ready right now to drop a new chunk of cash on an improved lion face (although I really also like the new, longer forearm blades Takara's has).
I like that Mega Man Legends comparison! Never thought of it that way.

Beast Wars II can’t be the equivalent of Megaman Legends.
Takara actually acknowledges its existence

I was in the middle of adding custom paint to my original Legacy version, but I still ordered this version as it's much better...
Also, it looks to me as if the mane can be manually rotated to homage the "lio-typhoon" attack?
G1 Victory Leo didnt.
