Pictures of the Adventures Grand Vehicon General on TFW. Predominately white as expected, but a rather flashy silver deco. Very tasty. Love this mould. As pointed out elsewhere: It's a Cylon! |

Override looks good. But I'll be waiting for the Wreck-Gar repaint.

I'd be tempted by Stepper if it weren't in a twopack with sideswipe.
Not really a stepper fan, but it's a solid mold, and a good deco.
And that horrid FoC Grimlock mold is a thousand times better retooled as nuRiD Grimlock, than it was before.

Finally, another chance to get Black Shadow... I will not fail again!

Oh yes, that's definitely a much better looking version of Grimlock there than any of the nuRiD or FoC Grimlocks. Quite a feat, that...

That is a nice looking Stepper. A step up from the Jazz colours on that mould.

Yeah, Stepper does look better than Jazz.

Maybe that Grimlock will get a Generations release next year?
(Which unfortunately means IDW will probably shoehorn that form onto G1 Grimlock)

I'm very glad Rumble and Frenzy are getting a reissue. The secondhand market on them is insane. And honestly, I'm surprised no one's making a big deal about these given how rare/expensive/hard to come by nature of the originals.

Think I'm going to have to get one of those Grimlocks just to see what they've done to the mould. The remoulding looks extensive.
Which also might necessitate sniffing round Sainsbury's again and this time actually buying a £7.50 warrior Sideswipe. I can go a mini display of the four core characters and the fact this Grimlock is closer to the right size makes it more appealing. Sold by the tweet! I was going to ignore it until I saw that.
Then perfection would be a proper Voyager size Thunderhoof. That'd be enough for me for RiD.

TAV-33 *does* look very nice. But I'm not sure he's quite worth the associated price-tag...

YEAH!!!!! SUNDERHOOFUA!
Toy of the year so far for me. Flawless Victory.
That sticker is coming straight off the bonnet of the Vehicon General when I get one though. Although do I want one? that video shows the colours to be a fairly flat grey, not as nice as the promo pics. Think Botcon Pounce & Wingspan are better for light versions.

Grey is nearly always a mistake for toys I feel. It always ends up looking so cheap and flat. You can tell the designers always envisage a nice shiny silvery grey, but it never turns out like that!
Given it's used a lot as Transformers are robots, I always thought Hasbro should have invested in a nice grey plastic stock.
