Vehicon General is just about as underwhelming as Darkness Megatron.

I know, it was never going to be chrome, it was probably never going to properly painted silver either, but all i can see here is 'Meh, line is over, can't be bothered.'

 

Wow, kinda surprised with the Vehicon General. Looks nothing like the show, no silver paint, no red Decepticon badge or red Cylon eye. Gonna be canceling my preorder.

 

Takara have kinda over killed their attempt at TFP.

They just keep rehashing the same figures over and over, this Voyager Megatron is a very average one certainly not as good as RID Prime or FE Prime.

Cyberverse still leads the way for TFP Megatron (pound for pound).

 

Is the Vehicon so chrome it looks like an off white colour or is that the colour he really is?

He doesn't have that good black sploch that made me like that design a lot, his colours are far from stellar...

I don't know, I may pass on this one.


And I think Takara is starting to be like Hasbro with all these Megatrons!

 

looks like the forearem is only painted on one side and not even the whole forearm, thats kind of sad.

 

Seems like that JVG is a painted version of the normal AM one, soe of the paint on the elbow joint has come off...

...Revealing the purple used on the Hasbro version of the Vehicons.

 

As an earlier poster mentioned, it will be fantastic to grow the Vehicon hoard with another variant.

I was hoping JVG would be chromed or in silver paint, but I am glad I pre-ordered as I love the Vehicon molds.

Soon I will be able to complete my Life of Brian "We are all different. We are all individuals" spoof with Vehicons  

 

Megatron's weapon is the combined form of multiple Arms Microns, kind of like the Armada Star Saber. I'm all for a repaint of Jet Vehicon.

 

Thankfully I was quick enough to get a preorder for Jet Vehicon in at Amiami.

Show accurate or not, I don't have a version of the jet Vehicon mold, and the color scheme is striking enough to warrant a purchase, imho. I'm a sucker for all white mechs, so I am really excited for this one.

As Megatron, eh. Good for the Japanese fans that want a version of the Voyager with a more show-accurate color scheme, I guess. I'm interested in seeing just how different it is than the PRID toy (other than the obvious arm).

EDIT: Oh, I didn't notice that this seems to forgo the weird light brown on the PRID and uses grey instead. That alone give it a few points, but probably not enough for an import. aha

 

I want that Vehicon, awesome in white.

 

I wish JVG was either actually silver, or actually white... the off-white that he's increasingly looking like is pretty unimpressive.

 

Wow, didn't notice how inaccurate that Vehicon is. And no black head. That was the coolest part, how it's all white with a black head.
Also, it doesn't have a nice, chrome white that's strong enough to make the red really stand out.

...Wait...
WHY DOES IT HAVE A PURPLE VISOR?!!?!
AND A PURPLE DECEPTICON INSIGNIA?!!?
And the thighs are white, too. Seriously? They could have just plain left it black for a more accurate result.
If I ever find myself good at repaints, I'll get him and paint his head black.
And I don't know why, but I'm oddly intrigued by that Megatron. Probably won't get it.
I would have a hard time not getting it, if only it had a remolded arm, rather than repainted.
Or even a brand-new arm.
Another thing relating the the JVG, it's ironic how Takara always has the chromed up super-shiny paint, and then the only thing that's actually a chrome white is his chest.

 

I'm looking forward to the Jet Vehicon General. As soon as it goes into my POL, I will ship my Skyquake.

 

Is it just me or JVG is prototype with only some paintjob?

 

That JVG is fucking gorgeous. I don't care if it isn't silver or show accurate, that mold looks amazing in white.

 

I must be the only one that likes the Megatron....

 

I was hoping it would be more than just another redeco. It looks great, but I will hold onto my $30 and put it toward one of the 3rd Party figures that are coming out.

 

wow so DE Megs might become default Megs...was hoping this one would be black (hence the name DARKEST) sigh...

 

Any word on why there's two guns shown on the orders?

 

The only thing I really care for from Megatron is his Microns.

While I do like how Jet Vehicon General looks right now. I'm just going to wait for final product pics. I'm getting deja vu all over again from what happened with Wildriders colors.
