This looks really poor compared to Black Lio Convoy/Copy Convoy's original toys. That being said... he is actually pretty spot on to how he looked in Beast Wars II! I wish the body 'grey' was a little lighter maybe? But still, it's pretty good. At least this guy doesn't suffer from lifeless yellow eyes that Lio Prime has in Legacy.
nah, in the anime he is a black copy of lio convoy along with a maximal (cybertron in the case of the anime) symbol. he was known as copy convoy. i would be disappointed if he had a destron symbol
Idk why people are saying he's bland when they always want accuracy first and foremost, this guy looks pretty damn accurate colour wise to the beast wars 2nd anime Maybe I'm just weird idk
why they couldn´t give the lion pupils on leo prime is beyond me, it looks so much better on nemesis. i´m curious if you could change out the eyes somehow🤔
Makes both of them look dirpy with and without the pupils.. I think this version would have looked better with just white eyes, looks like a sad lion is hanging out on his shoulder.
Like almost any organic beast former, even this one looks derpy as hell. It's just a got derp. They really need to stick to the mechanized beast formers.
I might be in the minority here, but I think he's better than the regular Leo Prime in pretty much every way. Leo Prime's colors clash badly, and the solid yellow eyes are terrible. This took a great mold and made it into an excellent display piece.
Great review Chefatron!! I think Nemesis Leo would have look better had he been done in solid black plastic like Nemesis Prime, instead of charcoal gray, but I can see why HasTak chose that color, since it is accurate to the Beast Wars Neo series. Keep on being amazing.
I mean in the anime Nemesis Convoy has eye pupils in beastmode lol for comedic purposes, but that's it. What I don't understand is why they didn't give the original pupils and idk give Nemesis Convoy Red eyes because come on it's a Nemesis type transformer...
I only got the Leo Prime because it's basically an Optimus Prime. I hate the lion kibble and I just gave him my own fan mode. This one looks alright but I'm good with the other one.
(RE: Leo Prime) He's more like a distant cousin really kinda like you might see Optimus Prime being, he also started out as an organic being and was turned into a robot (kinda like how Botbot can start out as a bottle of Shampoo, Book or a Milk Carton) then he was cloned / copied to make the Black version we see here. Kinda like Dinobot getting a clone only this one Transforms.
I can get one new figure and am torn between legacy Tm2 megatron and nemesis Leo convoy. Which should I get!?!?! for leo convoy i have to drive two hours but megs is near my house :/
yeah ok... I just thought they'd take liberties and make it more of a Generations / Legacy color... since they're trying to make everyone fit with each other right? but yeah you're right about the anime accurate colors...
I have a huge collection of NEMISIS Primes, but this is one I will be skipping, he's so bland, it's ridiculous. At least paint the eyes of the lion teal too !
@@chefatron Just got them today. They are GREAT. But I'm definitely getting both Upgrade Kits, and decals or maybe even paint normal Leo Prime's Lion Eyes.
@@chefatron Thanks Bro, I want to collect all kind of Optimus Prime, Leo Prime, Optimus Primal and the Japanese version Convoy, as much as I can collect.
IDK, if you remove the eye-piece it should look cursed as hell. even tho he‘s supposed to be dark, I agree they could have done a better paint job. Lots of accent parts are just lost. They could have had another shade or gunmetal, or even cyan.
the problem with this guy is not that he´s not black, in fact this is more accurate than the masterpiece because the masterpiece technically isn´t the same character. The masterpiece is a new character created for the line which in fiction is actually a clone of Unicron in a new body resembling Lio Convoy, while this figure does represent Copy Convoy, the name of Nemesis Leo Prime in the fiction. H e was mainly dark grey with black detailing. My issue is not the lack of black, but the specific black they used which comes across as more of a very dark brown rather than a glosy, dark black, other than that the coloration is perfect imo
Re-WATCHED! Something about this more wholesome 'ala pewter' figure makes it rather desirable in my optics, good Chef! (Planning to partner this enigmatic guy with the Throne of the Primes Optimal Optimus.)
Cool concept but the lion face looks goofy, should look menacing or angry. Maybe if you could carefully paint the eyes teal or red it would look better.
Very mixed bag it looks like to me. The robot mode is really bland and needed some more of that teal and red highlighting to help break it up and make the details pop. But because it's all basically one color, the animal mode looks great and honestly better than the original(especially given the eyes). Except it also doesn't fit the character, as you said he looks so darn friendly lol!
hey friend I like your reviews I'm looking forward to when you have the nemesis ship of legacy evolution and if you have the kingdom the ark would be epic clash of titans of seia ships 100% more genius
oh thanks so much! bro yeah, I'm not sure on the Nemesis... not really feeling that figure... and I don't have the Ark so.. if I can find the Ark for a super cheap price, I might just go and get the nemesis
Why the hell does it have eyes and original doesn't? It makes Leo prime look cheap. I'm guessing there going to do the same thing they did with Cheetor and release other version but more detailed...😑 Which is dumb....
I absolutely love Nemesis Leo Convoy! I do wish there was a little more blue on the figure but still can't wait to get a hold of one.
awesome ! happy hunting man!
The lion eyes should be on the normal version, and the empty soulless lion eyes on the normal should be on this black version. Like red empty eyes.
yes perhaps
As a Nemesis Prime collector, I will got this guy
awesome! happy hunting man!
Fun-Fact: Nemesis leo was created in 1998 making him one of, if not the first ever Nemesis Prime.
(I think.)
yeah, you're correct. my bad for failing to realize that
@@chefatronI like it bro don’t worry it’s your opinion highly respect it
This looks really poor compared to Black Lio Convoy/Copy Convoy's original toys. That being said... he is actually pretty spot on to how he looked in Beast Wars II! I wish the body 'grey' was a little lighter maybe? But still, it's pretty good. At least this guy doesn't suffer from lifeless yellow eyes that Lio Prime has in Legacy.
yeah perhaps...
oh really? cool man!
What a sad looking lion
yup
They shouldn't done that in Flash Leo Prime.
Yeah that and the Green Version too.
perhaps
God please somebody make a new Lion head
maybe they will
That lion head got an extra chromosome
Valley girl levels of nail work. Other than that, I think it's good, the colors help to hide the robot in beast mode.
hahahaha
cool bro
He Looks Amazing! But he Needs a Predacon Symbol to be a Nemesis
Why doesnt he have the Predacon symbol anyways?
nah, in the anime he is a black copy of lio convoy along with a maximal (cybertron in the case of the anime) symbol. he was known as copy convoy. i would be disappointed if he had a destron symbol
@@bigconvoy9850 Thanks for explaining this!
yes perhaps
Well he isn't a nemesis
He's actually called Copy Convoy in beast wars 2nd and he did have a maximal symbol in thay
Idk why people are saying he's bland when they always want accuracy first and foremost, this guy looks pretty damn accurate colour wise to the beast wars 2nd anime
Maybe I'm just weird idk
yeah, no I do like the accuracy, I just wish they'd taken a few liberties and made him darker, that's all...
and no, you're not weird man...
why they couldn´t give the lion pupils on leo prime is beyond me, it looks so much better on nemesis. i´m curious if you could change out the eyes somehow🤔
It was probably intentional so they can sell you a Takara premium version later.
@@benjaminwiseman6567 true. and it will probably be a 2pack with transmetal megatron
yeah, I know right?!
I'm sure customizers can handle that

thanks so much! as always my friend 😀
@@chefatron You're welcome. Thank you for agreeing.

Copy Convoy Vs. Certified Chef
hahahaha thanks brother !

Lio Convoy and Prime are two different characters but do you I guess.
@@ZERO-Shinkai I am aware. In my collection, he's an Optimus.
that's cool bro
I can get one new figure and am torn between legacy Tm2 megatron and nemesis Leo convoy. Which should I get!?!?! for leo convoy i have to drive two hours but megs is near my house :/
if you really like all 3 beast figures I think you should get all of them 😀 just save up so you can buy all 3
Get Megatron TM2, if you hadnt, I have Leo Prime and think it's a great figure, love it, but TM2 Megatron is badass
Wish there was more blue and pink on this one
I get what you're saying about the colours, but this is exactly what Black Lio Convoy looks like in the one episode he's in.
yeah ok... I just thought they'd take liberties and make it more of a Generations / Legacy color... since they're trying to make everyone fit with each other right? but yeah you're right about the anime accurate colors...
The "nipple" is actually a matrix
yeah I know bro... LOL
@@chefatron 🤣
In two months none of the big reviewers have reviewed this guy.
oh really?
It’s cause of how terrible the figure is
My key issue is that nemesis leo prime is a maximal rather than a predicon like he shoud be cuz he's evil
yeah, you're right man
i looooove this figure. keep in mind that he is very anime accurate so that explains the colours
awesome bro!
oh thanks for that bit of info 😀
I have a huge collection of NEMISIS Primes, but this is one I will be skipping, he's so bland, it's ridiculous. At least paint the eyes of the lion teal too !
Wouldn't be accurate to the source material.
yeah, just wait for clearance bro
I got BOTH of these Leo Primes for only $48. I don't regret it.
To each their own. I think he turned out well. That teal pops
cool man
I agree with your assessment. I will also wait for Toyhax come out with some labels for him. That may actually help and look much better.
thanks man, I appreciate it 🙂
I just got bought both Leo Prime and the Nemesis versionss COMPLETE for only $48!!!
wow! what a steal!!! congrats man!
@@chefatron Just got them today. They are GREAT. But I'm definitely getting both Upgrade Kits, and decals or maybe even paint normal Leo Prime's Lion Eyes.
@@kennythetrend3688 oh awesome score man!
It's true to the Beast Wars Second episode and figure. It could've always had more color but, other than that, not bad.
cool bro
The coloring is exactly like the anime....its supposed to be that monochrome
I see... cool thanks
His eye in Lion mode was a bit adorable
hahaha perhaps
Somehow "Dead Simba" is just hilarious.
hahahaha
I just order my today from amazon, I love the figure and plan to repaint my figure to make him look more evil and badass.
awesome haul bro, congrats!
@@chefatron Thanks Bro, I want to collect all kind of Optimus Prime, Leo Prime, Optimus Primal and the Japanese version Convoy, as much as I can collect.

(Planning to partner this enigmatic guy with the Throne of the Primes Optimal Optimus.)
oh awesome brother! thanks so much
yeah, I know what you mean man 😀
Would be awesome with a Cybertron Nemesis Breaker remake.
yes perhaps
Dude why were you expecting those things??? It's literally a black copy of Lio Convoy.
Lol two characters both better than Simba 🤣
hahahaha
I understand your point of view. But waw, he's incredibly badass. He looks terrific. I decided to pick him up since he's on sale.
well there you go man, there is a reason this figure went on clearance sale....
but awesome haul nonetheless...
This looks much better than leo prime (mostly because it's in mainly 1 colour).
cool bro
He is almost perfect but he needs little more blue but apart from that. It everything I wanted from the anime
yeah, I agree man
but I sold him off after reviewing him... not really for me...
Picked this guy up just today. He looks so cool.😊
awesome score !
Cool concept but the lion face looks goofy, should look menacing or angry. Maybe if you could carefully paint the eyes teal or red it would look better.
yeah, I agree
This was first of the Nemesis Primes!
oh really? cool !
Oh no i hope they don't do lio convoy in galvatron colors
oh I wouldn't put it past hasbro to do so hahahaha
@@chefatron they repaint some figures 3x like prime arcee and lazer prime
@@arnelanat3578 yeah, that's what hasbro does...
There's just too much going on, on his shoulders. The lion face is too sad and friendly. And I agree, the color scheme doesnt pop.
yup, I agree bro, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this figure 😀

yeah, maybe just wait for clearance on this figure, then once you get it for below retail perhaps custom paint it...

oh thanks so much! bro
yeah, I'm not sure on the Nemesis... not really feeling that figure... and I don't have the Ark so..
if I can find the Ark for a super cheap price, I might just go and get the nemesis
damn if it truly semi fail i hope someone out there near me reselling him for cheap cuz i want him lol
cool bro happy hunting!
Why the hell does it have eyes and original doesn't? It makes Leo prime look cheap.
I'm guessing there going to do the same thing they did with Cheetor and release other version but more detailed...😑
Which is dumb....
yeah, I'm not sure why they did that
Huh.. i was expecting a bit of red or purple... Quite a downgrade from nemesis primal paint wise.
Still getting him though 😁
@@Brucifer2 I know, and they have done a good job. It just makes for a very desaturated toy.
yeah sadly
cool, happy hunting man!
This is the first nemesis prime version ever. Evo fusion is stupid its just the future using weapons.
yeah, I agree
yeah, my bad for failing to realize that...😓
Owh look.. It's Mufasa and Scar...
hahahaahaha
This guy (figure) terribly sucks, it’s not worth it 😢
I agree!
Black lion 🦁
yes
This figure is definitely awful and GROSS
oh ok
@@chefatron oh ok
So boring.
yeah I know right?! I was really hoping for near masterpiece treatment on this one especially the colors...
