And then Budiansky's profile would have given him an exaggerated speech impediment.They should have just cut out the middleman and named the Triceratops "Slur".

Why was Convoy not available as a trademark?Because the "Convoy" part of the name wasn't available as a trademark.
Have there not been any toys that came out in the west called "Lio Convoy"?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).

The term Convoy is a trademarked name in Japan, so that name cannot be used on packaging by Hasbro.
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

Base mode was the least of my concerns. I’ll probably have it in base mode once and never again.Prime's base mode isn't any worse than the original TBH.
