Toys
Age of Extinction
- Breakout Battle (Platinum Edition set, 2014)
- Accessories: Blaster/claw
- A redeco of Dark of the Moon Crankcase, the Vehicon is available only in a Platinum Editon set with Rollbar and Optimus Prime. He transforms from a robot into a modified Chevrolet Suburban (representing the modified Cadillac Escalades seen on-screen), and includes a MechTech weapon that converts from blaster to claw.
- Vehicon sports tampographed "2764-K-03" markings, which are a reference to the online handle "SAGE2764" related to former Hasbro designer Joe Kyde.
- This toy uses the variant hand version of Crankcase which has new finger details molded rather than the harshly snipped stub finger.
- Vehicon (Power Battlers, 2014)
- Part of the final wave of the Power Battlers assortment, the Vehicon transforms into a Local Motors Rally Fighter. His gimmick can be toggled by pushing his left shoulder in. Pushing down on a tab formed by his windshield activates his "chainsaw thrash" attack which sees a Gatling gun telescope out of his fist as his saw blade spins around it.
- Despite having a Local Motors logo tampographed on his rear, his package features no call-outs for the company at all.
Notes
- Both Vehicon toys are based on non-transforming vehicles used by the 'Cemetery Wind' taskforce in the Age of Extinction film.
