#52: Transformers Prime - Vehicon

One of the interesting things about the Transformers Prime cartoon is that the Decepticons have armies of nameless identical bots on their side. There are some that turn into cars and some that turn into jets. It's kind of weird to be theoretically be able to have an army builder in a Transformers line. They haven't released a toy of the jet Vehicon yet, so here's the car. It's a pretty cool looking robot mode that does a very nice job of replicating the appearance of the models in the show. The included gun can either be held in its hand, or the hand can fold away and the gun plugs onto the arm, matching the way that weapons replace hands on the show. It does a very cool job of folding away a large portion of the car into the legs without them looking oversized. The only drawback is the way the upper arms work. Due to the way it goes from car to bot, there are a few weird pieces of articulation all next to each other, so it is a little awkward.

The altmode for the Vehicon is a really cool looking car. It looks like a Batmobile! The gun can plug into either side above the rear wheel, or clip on the front behind the headlights. I think this is one of the coolest looking car altmodes I've seen on a Transformer.
