Yep. Definitely getting this one.

That's Detritus. I wonder if he'll be an exclusive, like Tigertrack and G2 Bumblebee, or a general retail release, like Road Rage, Delta Magnus and Artfire.

The G1 vehicle is supposedly a Mitsubishi J59, which was made under licence from Jeep. Perhaps TakaraTOMY just got the licence from Mitsubishi. It would help that they already have a working relationship with Mitsubishi from licencing the Fuso T951 for Inferno and Grapple.

Then again, Hasbro/TakaraTOMY have been able to licence Jeep designs in the past, with Alternators Hound, Swindle, and Rollbar. Also, Shogo Hasui said that it was easier to negotiate with vehicle manufacturers since TakaraTOMY had the Tomica brand, which produces licensed replicas of cars and has relationships with many manufacturers.
