Does the car mode remind anyone else of the Batmobile?
Not until these show up in the states (and definetly not if the sweeps turn out to be better figures)

I like it a lot. Hope the US release has the same paint apps. Especially the paint on the wheels, that finishes off vehicle mode nicely.
Have you tried deluxe Starscream yet? It is the Universe Cyclonus of this year most assuredly.dragons wrote:Red vs Blue fan wrote:Does the car mode remind anyone else of the Batmobile?Mechastrike wrote:should i skip an army of Sweeps (Generation Scourge) for this guy?

He looks slightly more complex than the rest of his Deluxe class companions.

Huh. Y'know, I've never noticed it before, but the Vehicon weapon bears more than a passing resemblance to the Digitizer from Captain Power....

I hope this dude comes with two guns to mount on the hood.
Otherwise, no complaints and a small prayer Hasbro's paint department doesn't half-ass it.

Odd... I actually would like to see someone customize this into a BatManmobile. Heck, I've got a bunch of beaten up Batman figures, maybe I'll do it.

The greatest Prime figure of them all thus far. I will definitely make him the commander of 2 or 3 Hasbro minions...'nuff said!

I feel an instinctive desire to obtain one. The cape's could use some retooling to hang right, but the piece beats the tar out of Marvel/Star Wars Crossovers. Anyone else find it sad a repaint and new head (with accessories) was all it took? This is square in Hasbro COULD do this territory.
I always kinda wanted one from the movie's bat-tank.

Ive never seen TF Prime so I dont know who Vehicon is. But I see potential here. Makes a great generic Decepticon for Shockwave's army on your classics shelf. Also with some red paint and a new head from some other figure, could we finally have a suitable mold for classics Dead End ?

That was Shinobitron's custom. He's a good guy and does a lot of great TF customs.
But Hasbro will never do a Batman crossover, as Mattel holds the DC toy license.
Hasbro has Marvel.
On topic, these figs look great! I will be army building with these. At least with the US release of them. I may get at least one of the imports if they have a better (read shinier) paint job.
I'll wait to see comparison pics before I decide.

I don't like these cannon-fodder grunts. They look more Soundwave than Prime Soundwave and did nothing for me in the show. And thought it's show-accurate, the colour of the head looks bad on the figure.

Looks pretty decent, although the legs could turn out a little weird. I'll definitely be getting one though. I hope they make the flying version too!
