In Hand Images of Takara Transformers Adventure TAV 28 Ground Vehicon General

I love my Vehicons, and I can't wait to give them their General!

Hm. I thought it would be silver, but this is just grey plastic with a little bit of silver in it. I've got two vehicon figures still in box. Maybe I'll just paint one silver on my own and call it good...

what's awesome is that the way he transforms, you wont see his sticker in robot mode.

The Jet Vehicon General is the same. Shiny silver head, but the rest is gray plastic. Still awesome though!!

I don't know, he looks like he could have that kind of metallic fleck in his plastic, but it's hard to tell. Looks cool though, and that last pose with the swords is AWEZUM!

I feel like he'd stand out too much if he was silver head-to-toe. The matte works, especially for generic characters like Vehicons, but def bonus points for metallic flecks!

Swords aren't included, right?

Awwww, I thought he was gonna be silver.

No sir.

Vehicon General reminds me of General Grievious

Yes, a very nice touch. the same way you can't see Sideswipes in robot mode either

I figured. That would've made this figure go from eh, to wow.

They come from the Prime Arms Micron release of Stunt Wildrider.

Those are simply Wheeljack's sword right? You could just give them to him and turn him wow all by yourself

For those who have been waiting, the Vehicon General is up on Hobby Search finally!

It bemuses me that we had one small Transformer with to many logos recently and now a Vehicon with to few logos

They all sold out in less than a day, crazy.

Solicited just after the long Holiday in Nippon.......this is like those stereotypical scenes in anime where the students fight to the death to buy the tastiest soba bread from sidewalk vendor

Wished that it was stickied to the top.

@ wj88, can't the powers at be sticky that thread?

It's possible, but I would rather they dont. Unlike every other sticky, that thread is time sensitive (to the hour, at times). So having it be sticky actually gives a false impression on the availability of something. With it not being sticky, it being hot and updated is much more apparent. Also, if it was always up there, people not subscribed to it would not have known as easily that something was up when those listings came about (ince it would look like business as usual at first glance).

For a thread where timing is everything, it not being a sticky is more advantageous. The best bet, of course, it to subscribe to it.

Black Shadow is still available on HLJ, folks...

Still looks good. A rerun image can't be too bad eh?

New pics of TAV figures. Not too happy with these latest pics of Grimlock's back. Doesnt seem like that much an improvement on FOC, who's tail I really didnt like. The feet should have been black to be less obvious.

I am loving the IDW Drift look. It's Amazing! Same with the upgraded Bee. Both good looking retools

I'm glad I have Grimlock preordered as he looks fantastic!


I may hafta bite on that Drift/Jazz two pack once it goes up on HLJ as well.

Does Grimlock's sword glow in the dark ?

This makes me wonder, did we ever have glow in the dark accessories or deco in Transformers?

We'll wait on Sabrblade to spin up his knowledge and inform us, but I wish we would. Be really cool

Oh. Uh... well... Lemme go look.

*does a quick Google search*

Looks like four figures have had a glow-in-the-dark gimmick.

DOTM Burger King Ratchet had GitD plastic


DOTM Burger King Soundwave had GitD paint apps


This release of Crossovers Iron Man had GitD paint apps


And this release of Crossovers War Machine also had GinD paint apps

Don't forget Freezon and Natron from that weird racing set.

Were you looking for a proper good look at the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TAV33 Supreme Optimus Prime? You're in luck, as this batch of images has just been sent our way from Seibertronian podcaster ScottyP, directly from Amazon.jp! The figure is set for release by November 2015, but you can check them out mirrored below for now.

Amazon JP also has pics of TAVVS05 Drift Origin & Jazz Battle Mode as well.

Looks so amazing yet i wish it was voyager class though still it looks great its better than nothing but i wish they would of still done the warrior class versions but anyway cannot see what comes down the line

Some more Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure official stock images come from fellow Seibertron.com member Sabrblade, taken once again from Amazon Japan, show the versus/and double pack featuring Drift and Jazz - not only tweaked deco on the latter, but entirely new, IDW-accurate head and paintjob on the former. Check out the mirrored images below!

gimme gimme gimme all of that!
That Prime deco is www. thebomb.com!
That Drift is something else too.

They did make a warrior class version of the Optimus:



AND DAMN I would have really liked to know these were coming out in advance so I could better plan my purchases. As it stands I already have all these takara molds and have no use for double dipping

Jazz and Drift ohh LALA!

Prime

Drift

That is all

Eh I'm not as impressed with drift as I wanted to be. I love the character but this just isn't doing it for me. Maybe it's because I love the generations mold so much that it's probably skewing my view.

Seeing them side by side like that, I honestly feel Drift looks better than Jazz. Yes the weapon storage puts the figure over the top

I was refering to takara making one though not hasbro being pretty inaccurate

Starsaber468 wrote:I was refering to takara making one though not hasbro being pretty inaccurate

Takara does have one and they opted for the same deco:



So takara was a warrior clash deco and a leader supreme mode deco available.

Wow, Drift looks great.
