Title:
Vehicon 4th Vehicle Mode
Description:
Vehicon (Deluxe Class, 2012)
Series / Number: 1 / 008
Takara releases date: 2012-06-30
Takara ID number: AM-14
Accessories: Blaster Cannon (Hasbro only), "Noji” Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)
Part of the third wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, this new, sleeker, smaller version of the Vehicon has much less backpack kibble due to featuring a transformation that has the entire spoiler, trunk, roof, and hood panels of the vehicle mode fold into each other to form his heels and calves. He has an automorph head-reveal when transforming to robot mode activated by pulling down his rear bumper and pushing it into his back. He comes with a blaster cannon that can peg onto his hands and the sides of his rear wheel-wells/shoulders. It also features a clip that allows it to be tabbed onto the sides of his front, as well as be tabbed onto his arms with his hands flipped in.In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise” subline, the Vehicon was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the Prime episode "Loose Cannons”.His stock photography depicts purple paint details on his cannon, vehicle front, and robot feet that were omitted in the final product. It also depicts the cannon being pegged underneath the figure’s hands instead of on top.The TakaraTomy version, part of the fourth assortment of Japanese Prime toys, is dubbed "Decepticon Vehicon”, has a much more clear translucent purple-ish light-piping plastic for his visor, and has been retooled to include new 5mm post-holes just before his front wheel-wells and on his back bumper as a booster of sorts. Many of his paint operations have been removed and replaced with customer-applied foil stickers... including, rather annoyingly, some painted details under the clear-plastic parts, like the faction symbol in his chest and the purple details in his headlights. The chest-window can actually be popped out by applying pressure to the pegs through the figure’s back, enabling you to place the chest-sticker under the plastic... the headlamps, well, pretty much no.Instead of the Hasbro version’s clip-on blaster, the TakaraTomy Vehicon comes with the Arms Micron Noji, a robotic boar who turns into the Vehicon’s distinctively-shaped blaster. Noji cannot clip onto the Vehicon’s arm, however, and must be used as a hand-held weapon.This mold was also used for the BotCon 2014 Pounce-type pirate in the Dread Pirate Crew.
