Awesomecon is awesome

i have to say that the Troopers are one of the best generic/clone cons in the Transformers history. Right next to the Leapers http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Leaper

Actually one of the BEST transformers I got!

I'll be getting the toy soon myself, can't wait for it to arrive ;3;

The RID Deluxe Vehicon is probably one of the best Transformers figures of... well EVER.
Great design in both modes, incredible accuracy to the show's model, great articulation, and a transformation that works like a dream.

That's the one I'm getting =D Minor grievances aside (purple visor instead of red, and purple hands instead of dark grey) it looks so fucking amazing and show accurate, just can't wait to have him in my hands!

It is.
In fact my only regret with the figure is that I have yet to buy MORE of them.
Can't have just one Vehicon, that doesn't make an army!

I got a squad so far. Two RiD Vehicons, one FE Vehicon, and an AM Jet Vehicon.

There's one other inaccurate bit. The side leg kibble isn't in quite the right spot. Luckily, you can fix it with a simple mod, then you can rotate it all the way around. That way the wheels are facing forward, like in the show.

'Gary' FTW. :) Just love all the versions of the Vehicons!

I'm more fond of the name fandom gave them, "Steve" XD

There's both names actually. Emgo on Youtube, a popular toy reviewer, came up with Gary for all his Vehicons. Reguardles, it's an awesome toy- I'm saving up to get the Arms Micron Jet Vehicon to partner up with my Deluxe-class one.

and yet all their awesomeness could not get us more than three seasons :'(

their sweet alt modes shall be missed.

Well, there's something else....a new Transformers show is set to air in 2014., and it is done by the exact same studio and same storywriters who are currently working on Transformers Prime....

Years ago, Justice League cartoon ended on the note of one of the characters leaving....then several months later, a new series, Justice League Unlimited, began airing. All new show but in same setting, same characters (with expanded roster) and all that.

I'll let you think about it.

You have raised my hopes quite expertly good sir.

But if they have been raised in vein I will hunt you down till the ends of the earth and smack you in the face with a raw fish.

They're not just gonna end the "Aligned Universe" after only 3 years. Especially since one of the goals with it was to make a more "definitive" Transformers universe.

And yeah, it's true. The same people will be working on the next series, and there's also been talk of a TFP movie as well.

Woohoo!

Why do I imagine him with a black voice and jock personality?

These guys have like, six actors covering their lines, and one of them IS a black guy XD

Yup. Best troopers.

Best troopers indeed.
Except that one guy Megatron didn't realise WASN'T a flying trooper... poor dead non-flying Steve.

"Flyers!! I NEED FLYERS!!"

Megatron really needs to organise his troops into better groups.

You know the one thing that absolutely kills me about that guy though?
He's thrown off the ship, he knows he's got no way of surviving, so what does he do? He transforms into his car mode anyway whilst he plummets to the ground.

It's like "Well, I'm about to die the most ridiculous death I never thought possible, might as well just go with it".

No Steve. You're awesome!

yay fer cannon fodder grunts :V that look better than most villian grunts

Their car form looks like a sportsy Batmobile.

When a Giant robot says you're awesome, you know it's true.

It's funny how the Decepticon Mook's have the least Mook Mobile alt mode possible.

They look like so much fun ngl /pos I wanna give one a hug
