Official images of Takara Transformers TAV 28 Grand Vehicon General and TAV 27 Deployer Drift
- Motto: "'till All Are One"
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.


Amazon Japan also had official Images of TAV27 Micron Shooter Drift which reveals that he will come with both his Microns:





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

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.

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

There are many copies. And they have a plan.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy
