Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Vehicon Officially Revealed

it looked like a robot replica to me until i saw the kibble on the legs.

This guy and wheeljack, maybe knockout. oh, and Skyquake. only really good ones so far.

Looking good, just wish they'd stick to one shade of purple and add some silver on the hands and thighs, but whatevs.

That's pretty darned good. I can't wait for three of them.

Imo that looks better than the Fe

Nice kibble free back on this version. I do hope his eye gets some red paint.

What would you prefer? Red paint? Or Light Piping!

We already seen pics of this bitch, show me Breakdown and Airachnid >:o

How about, wait for it, wait for it!!!...................Red Light Piping!

I don't buy this image for a second. How could that possibly transform into a car?
I see the trunk and the spoiler on the back, and the legs clearly become the hood, but there's no midsection..

I'll reserve judgment on this one, at least until real pics are available. This one smells fishy to me.

If you look closely at the back of the calves, you can see the top of the car and windshield...

sexy. A must-have for sure.

This is the only "RID" thats better then First Edition.

When I saw earlier pics of this figure I thought it transformed into the plane vehicon, but now the wheels are clearly visible. It looks a lot better than the FE one for sure.

Whats great is that it looks like the front wheels aren't wierdly centered like the FE version is in alt mode.

For what it's worth, I really don't like light piping. It's a neat enough gimmick, but my own humble opinion is that paint looks better than a bifurcated head who's backside is a separate color made of clear plastic.

A final thought; if Hasbro really loved us, they'd start putting SMD LED's inside Transformer heads.

Looks like the only RID figure worth buying...now when will I actually see the PRIME lineup in my area?!?!?!

Hey, what do you know? Something actually IMPROVED from first edition! Well, done, HasTak!

I'm curious as to what the car mode will look like, because if the FE version did something amazing it was the way the car looked.

I shall buy many of these!

Transformers needs more armybuilders.

What would be REALLY cool is if these has the same/similar robot modes, but different alt modes.

That robot mode... It must require the sacrifice of a thousand virgin goats to be so... CLEAN.

3rd party Shockwave head, (can I have it?) Be my classic Alternator!

Now that is an awesome idea!

Also I'm really impressed. We just need to see him in alt mode now and hope for the best.

It is impressive. When I first saw the (tiny) Argos picture I thought they;d cut bits out. There do seem to be a lot of joints in the lower leg.

It would be so much nicer if Hasbro were revealing the alt mode at the same time.

this is teh only one that is superior than its first edition counter part. i will be troop building with this bad ass.

Nice.

I had a dream last night that I picked him & rachet up from my loca TRU. Pathetic, I know. Needless to say I was actually upset that I didn't have them when I awoke. I eventually figured it was a dream because:

A - It's not out yet

B - It was packaged upside down in car mode and looked like a quadriplegic.

Either way, I'm diggin this but let's be honest with ourselves. Looking at that picture it reminds me a lot of the first time they showed us Universe Cyclonus for the first time. Everyone loved how it looked. Then we got the production shot and everybody hated the colors. I don't think this guy will be much different. It seems pretty photoshoped to me but then again, that's the idea. Hasbro want's it looking fresh to death for catalog photos so it looks appealing to retailers and appealing to kids/grown adults who collect toys.

we'll have to see about the paintjob, but the mold looks absolutely fantastic

You know if you look at his head, and the way it's positioned, he looks like a grumpy old man with a stick yelling at children to get off his lawn.

Also, damn, those legs look complicated.

I may start collecting this line after all.

Finally something from the RID line that looks better than the FE figures!
So glad I didn't spend £40+ on the First Edition version.

I was honestly thinking of spending an absurd amount of money on the Takara First Edition Vehicon, but if this thing is as good as it looks, it seems this is going to be a good alternative. I'm quite impressed with it.

I really wish Hasbro would stop photoshopping the pictures.

thats alot better than the first edition one, ill add this one to the "might buy" list cause id like to see actual pictures before i fully decide.

It occurs to me that with the new "Robots in Disguise" tagline, it may be difficult to distinguish Prime from RiD.

I don't like thte size, paint apps or especially the gun arm, but I need at least one of these guys and I can't afford a FE at this rate. RiD it's going to have to be. :/ At least he doesn't look as bad as some of the others in his class.

There's vehicons in the show with a jet alt-mode as well, dyou think they shud make a figure for him?

I hope they do. Then, I'd like both remolded into Terrorcons. Making army-builders out of army-builders.

I'll be buying it. But what I'm not buying is how kibble-free it looks. That can't be right. There must be a backpack they left somewhere.

We really need to make a collective effort to refer to it as 'PRID', because RiD came out in 2001.

I did notice that there seems to be a backpack that sorta seems to stretch outwards (pretty horizontally from the camera angle) that might jut out a bit much. But if the sides of the shoulder pads hide that a bit (kinda like energon downshifts hude shoulders might), it could be forgiveable.

they could also make a old of the miner drone
