Title:
Vehicon | 1st Edition
Description:
Vehicon (First Edition Deluxe Class, 2011)
Number: 006
Takara release date: December 28, 2011
Accessories: Gun, stand (Hasbro only)
Part of the second wave of Prime: First Edition Deluxe Class toys, this larger-scale Vehicon comes with a gun that can be tabbed and mounted on his hood or stored underneath in vehicle mode, or be (loosely) held by his hands in robot mode. He features a 5mm port on the foldable door panels just below each of his hands, and flipping either hand back into his arms reveals another port behind each of them, allowing the gun to be mounted directly onto his arms, giving the appearance of integrated weaponry. The Hasbro version features a removable cardboard stand assembled within the packaging.
His instructions tell you to swing down his rear wheels from his shoulders for robot mode, bringing them closer to his elbows, when they are actually meant to be kept in his shoulders for show-accuracy. His stock photography also depicts him with blue hands and knee spikes, when the former are black and the latter are purple in the final product.
His mass-retail release in Hasbro’s US markets was canceled, so for about a year, he was only available in Hasbro’s Asian markets and in the Japanese TakaraTomy version of the toyline. Later, Toys"R"Us picked up the Vehicon, along with a lot of other items, as part of a large number of holiday-time exclusives in the US market for 2012.
