Let’s carry on the Transformers Prime coverage this weekend with a new, in-depth look at one of the last Transformers Prime First Edition toys. The Vehicon Trooper, intended for the last Deluxe Class assortment of First Edition Deluxes, has yet to see a release in the US, but was released as a part of Japan’s First Edition Transformers Prime toys. 2005 Boards Photo Staff member SydneyY recently added this Decepticon to his collection, and he shares with you now a gallery showing off this Decepticon stormtrooper in all its glory.

Oic,may consider getting the RID Vehicons then.

FE Vehicon's a very very dark navy blue plastic with shiny metallic flake. It's actually very nice when you see him in-hand but it's extremely hard to photograph correctly where it shows up well.
And I'm with the others who think both FE and RiD versions of the drone troopers are nice. Why not get both and give your Eradicons some variety instead of all-look-same? =) Makes me excited to see what they do with the Jeticon versions of the drone troopers.

Actually the cartoon,Vehicons are quite dark in colour but i can't determine properly whether they are "purple" or "blue" in colour in the show?

I think both are great!

to each his own,to me,RID Vehicons: not bad
FE version: Superior

They'll be released in the States sometime around March.

Wow that does look nice. I'll be picking him up for sure when he's out

That's exactly that.

Haha, lucky CJ is built like a soccer hooligan. XD I'm sure he'd be game, that is, if he weren't dead. /sadface
Proportions look fine to me. I think this is one of those cases where we'll just have to agree to disagree. XD
Yeah, I was surprised RiD Voyager Optimus had much worse back kibble than the FE version (accurate chest though), along with RiD Cliffjumper (granted FE CJ has the horned butt bumper thing going on but it's not as bad as RiD's).
Same here. TF Prime toys are teh sex! The wife is excited for Knockout (what female TF fan isn't? XD) so I hope Hasbro doesn't screw up his toy. And truth; the shrinking/downsizing of figures (along with minimal paint apps) is really disappointing but not totally unexpected given they started doing it with DotM. Fairly sure the trend will continue with RiD and Movie Trilogy. I really hope it doesn't affect Generations toys seeing how many of us want to keep our Classics display somewhat in scale but I fear for the worst there.
Haha, and thanks, glad you like. XD I want to take some clearer pictures of them along with Deluxe Starscream (gloating over and then executing poor CJ) but it'll have to wait until I settle into my new place first.

SHILL!!!!
Just kidding around. I am in love with the Prime line even if they had to shrink them down and make a few other cut backs. Sign of the times, at least Hasbro is trying their best to avoid price hikes.
PS I love the pic with CJ and the two Vehicons.

I have the First Editions of everyone except Vehicon and Arcee and the Enertainment pack and I can say, no, no it is not. Bumblebee has his doors, that's it. Prime has two small-ish panels that fold up nicely. Bulkhead has his wheels from the show, that's it. Cliffjumper has no back kibble save a small section of the front bumper. Starscream has his wings from the show and the the small thruster end nicely folded up into his back.
Prime so far has done back kibble better than any line so far with the exception of Animated.

I really like the look of the Vehicons but I am divided. I know I want 3 of these guys and I also know that the second release looks better but is smaller than the FE version. Do I go 1 FE and 2 RID or 2 FE and 1 RID. Decisions, decisons.
Paradigm-Shift Prime
ALt mode looks super hot!!!
Bot mode looks ok, but indeed he looks like someone took half a car and simply placed it on his back. Back kibble seems to be a relatively common theme with Prime figures.

But that isn't going to change the proportions of the toy.
