Lionblade

Lionblade is a Maximal from Rise of the Beasts portion of the Movie continuity family.

I guess all the good names really are taken.

Lionblade is a white Maximal lion. Seems familiar.

Rise of the Beasts

They turned Lio Convoy into a partsformer? For shame.

• Optimus Prime & Lionblade (Beast Combiners, 2023)

• Known designers: Koki Yamada (TakaraTomy), Marcelo Matere (concept artist)

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.

They were only available packed in with Optimus Prime, and their armor mode features a new robot-mode head with some nice golden detailing. However, they are compatible with any other "main" figure in the Beast Combiner assortment, not just Prime.

Notes

• Lionblade is an extremely obvious Lio Convoy homage, in that they're a white lion with a gold mane. Additionally, their 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, anyway; not so much with anyone else).

Foreign names

• Japanese: Lionblade (ライオンブレード Raionburēdo)
