Note to self:
Self, do NOT cancel preorder for Darkness Megatron. He's a big hunk of Takara-chromed out beauty with black, dark gray and clear purple awesomeness.

Ordered the Vehicon myself...just love how beautiful that turned out, and along with the other Vehicon end up being the one mold from Prime's line I'm truly satisfied with.

Jet Vehicon looks good, although I'm not so sure about the alt mode. Not sure if there are any clear scenes of the jets in the show, but I don't recall them looking like winged cars, either.
If my hobby store brings in the arms microns, I'd buy Baro and Jida, and paint them into their original colors. Not paying shipping for those, though.

I can't wait to get my hands on all of them (except the driller which I already have (Hasbro))..
This is exciting for me, next month not so with the random swerve retool/repaint and the spidercopter, her micron is cool though.

I'm so stoked for choosing to wait for this Megatron for this line! It's a hell of a lot better than Hasbro's IMO in so many ways...'nuff said!!

Not a fan of the chrome on Megatron, glad I passed on it, though I want that bat Micron. Hope it gets a single pack release.
Can't wait for my Jet Vehicons and single pack Microns to come in, though!

It looks like site sponsor Robotkingdom has found time to free Takara's Transformers Prime AM-15 Darkness Megatron and AM-16 Jet Vehicon from package prisons and post some nice images of the pair. Both are slated to start shipping on July 28th. Enjoy the mirrored images below.

Why do I think the jet Vehicon looks really bad? Ignoring the alt mode, the robot mode looks terrible comparing to the car Vehicon. Lots of kibbles and the elbow and wrist joints are really bad.

The elbow and wrist joints are the exact same(besides color) on the two figures, it's the same base mold.

The elbow and wrist joints are identical to those on the car Vehicon. The elbows aren't too bad once shave off one side of the ball joint cup so that you can straigten it out more instead of having it cocked out to the side. I did that on my car Vehicon and it looks a lot better. I'll do the same to my Jet Vehicons.

Why does the car Vehicon get a thruster in the rear of his alt mode, but the Jet Vehicon doesn't? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Not crazy about the alt mode, and he's really kibbly in bot mode. And that purple....

That's a Micron port, not a thruster. It's so you can store a Micron on his back in 'Bot mode.

I think it's a thruster that doubles as a micron port. I have the fig in hand right now, and it's molded to look exactly like a thruster.

Darkness Megatron. He believes in a thing called love. And inspires it with his shininess and his purple gummy wing/scythe. Very nice.
Jet Vehicon, not so nice. But not bad. Mostly in James Bond's car mode.
The AMW toys are looking great. Can't wait for these to ship.

Everyone's whining about Jet Vehicon's alt mode, but the darn thing is practically spot on with his show counterpart! Take a look at this picture someone on TFW2005 posted:

It seems like most of the complaining is about the back kibble. But being the remold (albeit an extensive one) that it is, it doesn't surprise me that they weren't able to integrate the wings well into robot mode.
But let's be honest here, it's now a jet-former, and most jet-formers do have wing-kibble; so I'm just gonna sit over here and say it looks awesome...though the color choice is a bit odd.
