Grand I believe.

"Ground" would make more sense, though, given that this the land-based counterpart to the "Jet" Vehicon General.

That is a beautiful vehicon right there!

Before ya post it, lemme look real quick to see if its name is supposed to be "Ground" or "Grand".

Sure thing, but as I said (which I think the community knows by now, simple rules of journalism), I can't post till I have a source anyway.

Hey may very well be the grand ground vehicon generalissimo.

Original source is Amazon Japan - http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B014BFYUFK/

There's also pics for TAV27 Micron Shooter Drift Set - http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B014BFYXAM/

Thanks! Starting the news post now. But I will wait for Sabr to get back to me.

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.

So glad to see Adventures Drift will come with both, and they actually look like the minicons! finally!

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...

Yaaaaaaaa, that's a pretty sweet silver Cadillac CTS. Bot looks good too.

Hey guys, is the gun different than the original one? Because it looks different to me.

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?

ETA end of August. Same Over ride. That's why I had to delay my UW Menasor, I combined them shipping.

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

I think same.

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

Vehicon looks great, will fit in well with the rest of my Vehiconic crew.

There are many copies. And they have a plan.

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.
