First I have an ask me thread for those kind of questions. Second Lioconvoy is not a Japanese G1 Character. He's from "Beast Wars Second". Third, the avatar is from Dolldivine's Senshi maker, not a simple recolor.
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Wars_II:_Super_Lifeform_Transformers_(franchise) Beast Wars II is Japanese. Also, Beast Wars (including the Japanese-exclusive Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo) is technically part of G1 continuity on both sides of the Pacific.
a·maz·ing əˈmāziNG/ adjective adjective: amazing causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing. I'm not entirely sure you understand the meaning of the word.
Seriously? You're going to post that to me? Do you really need to be reminded just what I am? I am the biggest Transformer Geek on this site. I was not denying he's a Japanese character, just he's not G1. Yes Beast Wars, Beast Wars Second, Beast Wars Neo are all considered a part of the G1 Cartoon continuity continuity, but because names repeat you don't say Lioconvoy is a G1 character you say he's a Beast Wars Second character, or a Beast Wars character. Apart of G1 or not it's a completely different era of the franchise. Their are even multiple G1 continuities, in some Beast Wars characters got recycled. There is a G1 Waspinator, while similar he is not the same character as Beast Wars Waspinator. That's why you use the show or the Era to tag characters, not continuity because their are multiple continuities all with the same tag. Also the wiki is wrong, Beast Wars Second was aired in Korea as well as Japan. I bought my Lioconvoy while I was stationed in Korea. I also got a Beast Wars Second Star Scream there.
