Here is something quite a few fans have been waiting for since it was first announced: an official picture for TAV28 Grand Vehicon General.

Now we have it, thanks to fellow Seibertronian SW's SilverHammer and Starsabr who found these pictures on twitter and Amazon.

It appears the deco will consist of silver covering almost every inch of this figure, which does not reference anything in the fiction so far. This was a very anticipated deco reveal from the fan community as the Prime RID Vehicon moldis a fan favourite. Since this is a TAV figure, it does have a sticker for the Japanese mobile app. This figure is currently slated for a September release.

You can see for yourselves here the extent of the deco improvements on that figure compared to Hasbro's.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Nice to know that TAV Drift (and presumably TAV Fracture) will be coming with both of their respective minicon buddies. Any idea yet if Takara is bothering with the rest of the minicons that have come out in Hasbro markets in the past few weeks? I've been waiting to push the button on these in case of a Takara announcement, but I'm getting the feeling that Takara is just gonna pass on them altogether. Doesn't look like the Takara versions of Drift's minicons come with their clear plastic extra armor pieces and weapons either.

Micron Shooter Fracture comes with Airazor but not Divebomb. Sandsting is included instead.

Okay, that's bizarre. WTF, Takara Tomy?

Vehicon General looks really nice. Glad I've got a few of him preordered already. I wish the Jet Vehicons were slated for this line as well...

So Runabout is still on 'pre-order' at bbts; did I miss the boat on this one? Has anyone here gotten one from them yet?

Well they were july and now they're august (and I suspect its a feature of the site to automatically push up the date by every month); they still haven't gotten the next shipment of protectobots in, they've been on 'pre-order' since may

You know, because everything is silver I confused where the gun begins and ends. Yes, it is the same.

I don't care if this Vehicon General doesn't make much sense, I've been wanting that mold for a long time, and this seems like a great way to get it. :KREMZEEK:

Even though there's not a lot of color to the Grand Vehicon General, he still looks awesome and glorious. The colors of the Takara Deployer Drift are good as usual for these Japanese toys. Nothing too surprising here! :D

So Sabr, if you are the toy's bio, would you care to tell us what it is?

:-P

Also, I am looking forward to the in package pics, we will then know if it is Grand or Ground.
