Lionblade

Lionblade is a Maximal from Rise of the Beasts portion of the live-action film continuity family.

I guess all the good names really are taken.

Lionblade is a white Maximal lion. Seems familiar.

Rise of the Beasts

• Optimus Prime & Lionblade (Beast Combiners, 2023)

• Known designers: Koki Yamada (TakaraTomy)

Part of the second wave of "Beast Combiners" two-packs, Lionblade converts from a white lion with a golden mane to a set of armor for compatible figures via partial autotransformation.

He was only available packed in with Optimus Prime, and his armor mode features a new robot-mode head with some nice golden detailing. However, he is compatible with any other "main" figure in the Beast Combiner assortment, not just Prime.

As noted above, he is an extremely obvious Lio Convoy homage, in that he's a white lion with a gold mane. Additonally, his armor mode features a blue head in the classic Prime style and red on the chest, resulting in a color palette that is quite similar to Lio Convoy (when combined with Prime, anyways; not so much with anyone else).

This 2-pack was featured in an Australian toy catalog, prior to any official announcement by Hasbro.
