Courtesy of YouKu we have video review of Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Vehicon. The video is in Chinese, but it gives an detailed look at the figure and it's magical kibble-free transformation sequence! If you have any problems with the embed below the video can be found here.

Can't get the video to work at all. On any browser.

Mine stopped about a minute from the end and won't load more.

Hehehe. I actually recognise a few sentences. Thank goodness I took those 2 semesters of Mandarin.
Wish we could have the best of both worlds; kibble free transformation and the darker, more accurate colour scheme.

I've had it with this stupid Youku player. They read your ip and continue where you left off. Prevents me from loading the full video. Tried it on two different computers.

O_o...

Now the video starts working after sitting idle for hours on the one computer. What the...

Anyway, onto the figure itself...

Transformation is neat in that it hides kibble, but fails for being one of the most simplistic I've seen.

Plus he's way too small in vehicle mode...

He's all your's guys. Have at him.

God, someone get this on Youtube so I can actually watch it... reading a pictorial review would be faster than waiting for this damn video to load. :BANG_HEAD:

Plus side is watching hilarious Chinese KFC commercials though. :lol:

One thing that's really bugging me on recent figures is the unpainted solid rear windows. Hasbro's really asking us to leave a lot to the imagination...

gorgeous, that transformation is awesome.

.. but i'm sorry, transformers aren't left handed.. at least none of mine are lol.

i'd really like to see someone have the vehicon hold his gun the same way the official photos have it.

... and man this guy talks a lot. i always find it amazing that some people are able to speak different languages, to me, they just sound like jibberish.

Very nice figure, and cool transformation too!

The guy has a Knockout too, maybe there'll be a review up soon..

I don't know who's in charge of case breakdown, but they're either stupid as hell or pure evil. I was planning on getting 2 of these, but when you factor in poor distribution, high demand, horrible case assortment, and a sea of peg warming Bumblebee's I'll be lucky to get one.

Huh, I still seem to be the only one that doesn't have a 'sea of pegwarming Bumblebees' at all my stores. Maybe I should buy CJ and start selling him...
