Kaiyodo, makers of the Dreamwave Inspired Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Megatron Revoltech figures will be releasing Revoltech versions of Rodimus and Starscream in 2008. For those who don't know, Revoltech figures feature are incredibly poseable, but do not transform.

Half a decade working on this site and it still takes me 10 minutes to get a picture working. Urgh.

And I am sure we can then expect the inevitable Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints.

Wow, that is cool.. finally... I hope they decide to do Skywarp and Thundercracker, then I could be very happy.. next they should do Hound, Ironhide.. or Soundwave and Shockwave..

ohhh maybe they'll do little but highly posable versions of Rumble and Frenzy... :-?

I got Revoltech Megs, Eva Units 0,1,2,4,5(with the wings), and The Yashima Weapons Set (Shield, and Sniper Rifel for Eva). I want to buy the Valkyrie VF-1's as well, and maybe the Patlabor mechs... :-P

I love em! But I had to repair a broken arm on Eva Unit 1

While I don't know what Forbidden Planet is, my guess would be probably not. Far as I know unfortunately, you need to get these either from Japan or someplace that imports toys from Japan. They are extra cool figures, but are not domestically available.

Not keen on the spoiler on Hot Rod, either.

I'd make those points too, but that figure (Starscream) would make a great artist's maniquin. I love things like that as drawing aids, and if it poses better than Mega SCF (My fav) then I will love it.

YES!!!! And now we can except coronation starscream or ghost starscream as exclusives to some japanese magazine. You can count on it after all the clear revoltech evangelions they made. Yay!

I once saw Revoltech Prime at FP, so they might. Never saw Megs or Magnus, and I don't know how much Prime was, but keep your eyes peeled, you never know. There are also Revoltech figures in Travelling Man (another comic shop) although there was never any tf ones.

At first, I thought “Yay! There finally making Starscream!” then I click the news listing and there’s Guren lagan, that and Starscream I will get when they come out, I need Guren lagan…

oh boy, I just crapped my pants. Thought they would never make any more Revoltech transformers! I just hope they won't be exclusives. It was so hard to find a decently priced Ultra Magnus!

Re: Coming Soon: Revoltech Rodimus & Starscream (483146)
Posted by Decatron on November 30th, 2007 @ 1:53pm CST

I have Megs, ordered Prime and passed on Magnus. I really like these Revoltech figures. Great to hear more TF's getting the treatment

Posted by Rodentus Prime on November 30th, 2007 @ 2:50pm CST

It occurs to me that the revoltech hot rod will be pretty much in perfect scale to display with titanium rodimus prime.

ps, in a picture of the revoltech starscream prototype you can see he comes with gun mode megs!!

Yes, this is awesome! I love my Revoltech Megs & Prime, I can't wait for Starscream. Rodimus isn't one of my favorite characters, but I suppose I'll get him as well. I hope they do Soundwave in the future though, that'd really make my day....

Non-transforming transformers are debatable in my book...
And, I'm sick of Starscream.

They look great, but $25 each is a little more than I'd like to pay for them, so I'll probably pass.

This is fantastic news. I'm very glad that Revoltech is doing more Transformers. I'll be getting these for sure.

And now I think we MUST immediately begin speculating as to who else might be added to the line in the future. Can Galvatron be far away?

Posted by Rushie on December 1st, 2007 @ 7:08am CST

Great stuff, I'm assuming Bumblebee and Soundwave will follow suit. Especially how they could be easily repainted as Cliffjumper, Bugbite and Soundblaster..

after they've repainted Screamer into Ghost Starscream, Black (Dead) Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Sunstorm. Heck, Rodimus could be redecoed into Black Rodimus and Crystal Rodimus.

Posted by NuclearConvoy on December 1st, 2007 @ 2:54pm CST

Just to clarify my earlier statement: I ADORE the RevolTech toys, they're awesome action figures...I just don't like the idea of a non-transforming Transformer.

Rodimus may make me reconsider (which, of course, means I'd end up getting Prime and Megs. Starscream, unless he comes with his corronation accesories, can suck my butt exhaust).

Revoltech Galvatron is, frankly, the most likely 1st NonTFing TF I will buy (if it's made soon and I don't buy Rodiums who isn't looking too spectacular as of yet).

Some of the RevolTechs have had an issue with ostrichneckery. Usually it's covered up by the rest of the design and is necesarry for any head movement at all.
This, hoever, is inexcusable.

If I were a betting man, and I am, I would say that it's a safe bet that Thundercracker and Skywarp will be limited much like Magnus. I would also fancy to say that the two after these two gorgeous peices would have to be Galvatron and either Grimlock or Jazz. The Japanese love G1 Jazz more then any other transformer for some reason, and the TF community as a whole love Grimlock.

However, as much as I would rather this not happen, I could see them doing Beast Convot and Beast Megatron.
