New Image Of Revoltech Transformers Movie Optimus Prime

He looks pretty good. Once they remove the blur and we get to see all the extras it has (probably guns and swords), then I'll see if I'm interested in purchasing it. I've yet to get any TF Revoltech figures, but they look pretty good overall.

There is no blur, He's just that bad ass that the camera can't keep him all in focus at the same time.

Hm, now that I think about it you're probably right. Hopefully that won't be a problem when we have to look at him in person.

Aside from the arms and hands, is the rest of his lower body the figure or CGI render?

Either way looks nice, hopefully they'll do a megs. Unfortunatly I never saw revoltech's again after I saw one in Forbiddon Planet a few years back With this being the movie, they may be stocked more and in more places

Looks pretty cool, but I'm selling off all my Revoltechs, since I'm limiting my collection to transforming items only.

So if anyone wants Revoltech Rodimus, Megatron or Starscream, or some Valkyries you can use to build a reasonable approximation of Jetfire, shoot me a PM.

what happened to the energon prime they made. that was bad ass looking.

That speaks volumes on how good this figure looks.

Does anyone know the general price on these things? Will it be more expensive than the Dual Model kit?

Canceled, sadly.

Revoltechs usually cost about 15-30 bucks (excluding a few ones) and I don't think this guy'll be any different.

It should be significantly less. Revoltechs are pretty small, about as tall as an average deluxe, maybe a bit shorter. They originally used to go for $30-$35, but I think they started adding more accessories and elaborate display stands and the price has gone up to about $50...or I could be wrong and the ones with extra accessories/stands are some sort of deluxe Revoltech line.

I hope this means they'll get back to doing more revoltech transformers. My other guys are getting lonely.

I WILL be getting this. I was so impressed with the last TF versions I purchasesd, including Megs, Optimus Prime, Rodimus or Hot Rod I believe and Starscream. All based off of DW art. They make great display figure.

that doesn't really speak volumes about how the figure looks.. it speaks volumes about his knowledge of how movie prime looks.

This guy is a DEFINITE buy ! I dont care even if he dont have that many accesories...I wanna buy him and pose him beside my lonely Voyager Megs cause his size will be a perfect match .

To those who are wandering how tall these Revoltechs are...They are taller than the DOTM deluxes but smaller than DOTM Voyagers. They are around WFC Megatron size and a tad bit taller than some Movie Deluxes. I use SS Deluxe and Revoltech Masamune Date for comparison .

As for the price...Atleast for Masamune Date...It cost around 35 dollars and Masamune is a 1 and a half year old figure...So maybe DOTM Optimus might cost around 40-45 dollars perhaps...

Nonetheless...I dont care what it takes but I must have this guy once it's released in my country !!!

$47.10? Was tempted.

Was.

That's very expensive. Anyone have any idea as to the size of this guy, cause most Revoltech TFs are really small, and if he's the same size I can't see how that price would be worth it. To be fair though, the details on this guy look amazing, so that and likely the bulk is what constitutes the price.

Is it just me or that gun on Optimus's left hands looks....FCKING EPIC !!! I dont care how expensive he is but I MUST HAVE HIM !!!

Psst...Anyone wanna help me steal that prototype Optimus xP?

New images of the upcoming Revoltech Movie Optimus Prime have surfaced that give us a better look at the weapon accessories that will accompany the figure. Take a look at the mirrored images below.

Big Bad toy store has this listed for $54.99 and to be released in September

IMO, If it doesn't transform, its not a transformer.
This is basically an overly detailed robot replica under a bigger brand name with a better history and a longer running time. I'm not saying I don't like it, I'm saying that that model prime looks a whole lot better. Plus, I'm just a gundam fan!
Love building them!
The new model TFs are just what the doctor ordered. I just wish that they could make transformable figures with this much detail. I mean, they're so complex in the movies, people can't expect the toys to be simple blocks like in the past. They don't need all those gimmicks! I like moving parts and lights and sounds as much as the next guy, but if it takes away from the figure, then it's not worth it. If companies need to make movie accurate robot modes for what was once, and still is, something with more than just a robot mode, then that tells you something!
it tells you that you can't just replicate movie magic.
I swear though, If they tried hard enough, they could get ALL those moving parts there, and have them in all the right places!
It would be mindbogglingly complex yes, but it would also be satisfying, wouldn't it? sure, it would up the price like $20 a figure, but for that level of complexity, would it be so bad? I understand it would be expensive to make, and that people would complain. so my proposition is this.
Make the regular tfs for the kiddies, and pump out the overly freakin complex piles of screen accuracy for us collectors! I'm open to the challenge!
Each box would have a complexity level of 10-120!
Ide buy them all!

of course this won't happen.
back on topic.
he's pretty cool, For a nontransformable figure I guess, but I still won't buy.

A few things my good fella...

1) If they actually make detailed transformation for Deluxes...People are going to be pissed. Cause people want Deluxes to be SIMPLE.

2) Do you really think removing the gimmicks will do that much change? Well let me tell you now. IT WONT.

3) LMFAO ! Do you think it's easy? I mean I dare you to go see the transformation sequences in the movie and tell me EXACTLY where each PARTS go.

4) If they did such detailed tranformation...The prices will be jacked up far more than 20 dollars. Which is one more thing they wont do cause they are on a budget...

5) BTW mindbogglingly hard...Yeah that's one more reason people wont buy it. If one TF takes you like 30 minutes to transform each time...Do you really want to transform it? I know many people wont...

6) Lastly...I have said this thing a TONS of time...HASBRO ISNT SOME KIND OF SUPER COMPUTERS DESIGN TO CREATE TRANSFORMERS THAT YOU DESIRE !

Well there ya go ^^.

On topic...AWESOME SAUCE !!! I DONT CARE IF ITS 55 DOLLARS OR 70 DOLLARS !!! I still wanna buy it !!! Damn 5 different guns combine together to become the most epic gun in TF Movie trilogy !!! PLEASE RELEASE IT EARLIER !!!

This figure is so epic, if it was a game, I'd give it the rating HTMHATEOMA! (Watch Gears of Halo Theft Auto 5 or 6 on YouTube to figure out what this means, as the meaning is a little... mature. Watching out for younger fans! )

why does everything you say have to push me over the edge of insanity?
I'm pretty sure people WOULD buy them. ROTF Leader optimus was damn near perfection! But, his weird chest gimmick makes his head constantly look upward, and the battery pack makes his backpack even bigger! getting rid of some of these gimmicks would be a good thing!
ROFT Megatron, the same. how much better would that right arm and chest be without those gimmicks?
mechtech.....
were exactly to begin. first of all, it takes innovation withought gimmicks added to the figure, wich is good. but, it also makes the figures smaller, and less complex, because of all the extra resources used. wich is bad. figures like crankcase and ratchet and topspin are good examples of tfs done right. (PS, I know you hate crankcase, even though you don't have one do you? so unless you actually bought one and figured out that he's not as kibbly as he looks, just don't even mention it)
Furthermore over, your "Super computer" theory is correct!
hasbro doesnt have one. what they have are human minds, wich, might I remind you, have been proven able to think over 100 time faster and more thoroughly than any super computer on this planet.
People would shell out cash for movie exact tfs!
Even if they are so damn complex they make your jaw fall off and takes you an hour to transform. hell, Universe galvatron and energon slugslinger were both deluxes, along with WFC Optimus and BB and cliffjumper, and guess what? They were all VERY complex! do you even have any of those guys? they show that complexity in a small package can be a good thing. they are not movie complex, no. but complicated none the less! if you wan't to sit here and complain about every comment I make about stuff that, QUOTING MY LAST COMMENT
WONT HAPPEN!!!!
then you must be one of those kids who complained about the tfs being to hard for you, And I feel sorry for that, and that only.

Pretty damn cool

Nice weaponry. The only thing I don't like is the ball shape shoulder connections. They need to hide them better. His shoulders just look bad in the pictures.

I'd rather go for the dual model kit. While it IS an insanely detailed OP fig, it's a little on the small side, even for a desktop deco. The model kit requires a lot of work and is more expensive, but it's in scale with the other TF's and is equally as detailed as the Revoltech OP.

As for the gun, it looks pretty cool, even if it's not exactly movie-accurate.

BTW, does anyone know if the dual model kit comes with the BFG?

From all the pictures we have seen of the dual model kit, no gun for OP.

That's a bummer. It would have been the perfect display piece if it had the gun.

Cybergundam Blog has posted a scan of the upcoming Reveltech Movie Optimus Prime from the latest edition of Hobby Japan. The scan shows off a fully painted version in several poses. We also see how his weapons can attach in multiple configurations. The figure is priced at 3800 yen. See the mirrored scan below.

Optimus is looking great. If the price happens to drop I may want to pick it up, but as is, it's a bit too expensive.

Anyone know what's with the sword though? In the one picture he's using it its definitely longer than in the other pictures. Maybe it extends?
And I don't think he really needed that many guns. Instead of them they could have done things like include another sword, have a hook or two, or simply two of his regular rifles.

Some of those guns just seem ridiculous and too inaccurate. They should have armed him with two blades, two hooks, an Ion Blaster, and two pistols.

...Apart from my moan point, great figure!

the angle its photographed from makes it look foreshortened.

looks cool! was never a big fan of the movies (despite seeing both on opening night) or their designs, but this and the dual model kit are really making me appreciate the aesthetic of movie prime

I hate that he's as small and expensive as he is, because he seems to trump the dual model kit in terms of articulation and accessories.

Well, we haven't seen the movie yet, so he might use those guns at some point. They seem to attach onto his shoulders like the Wreckers' weapons, so it's a good possibility.

nice fig

AWESOMESAUCE !!! You can actually put the guns onto other places as well O.O !? ZOMG if I got this guy I will die a happy man .

I Stand by my opinion. refer to above comments

Revoltech's Catalog has been updated with official images of SFX DOTM Optimus Prime. The images showcase the figures articulation and wide array of weapons. The images have been mirrored below.

ZOMG X100MILLION !!! The details and paint is SUPERB !!! The articulation is awesomesauce as expected from a revoltech and the guns looks frickin AMAZING.

PS : Who seems to get vibes of FF7 Advent Children Cloud's broad sword from Optimus's guns? Cause if you watch the movie(FF7 Advent Children which is a frickin awesome movie) Cloud's blade can split into 7 smaller blades . Just like this one from a huge gun split into 5 small different guns .Just saying ^^.

You know, after seeing these pictures, I can really appreciate just how close the ROTF Leader Class figure is to the CGI model in terms of looks and proportion.

Will get.

ok now im totally gonna get him. i have all the other revlotech transformer plus a few otheres like the dark knight batman and dante from devil may cry but man ill tell you, this guy just looks freaking awesome. and i love how you can make other weapons for him. thats a cool feature that i wasnt expecting.

alrighty, cool enough, now let's see that alt mode! OH! That's right.

and that's why I never buy these guys. robot replicas with shiny paint.

that is unbelievably gorgeous.
WILL get.

$55.00 for a 5" figure....wth is happening to the world?

LMFAO !!! You make my day lol. "Robot replicas with shiny paint"? Dude go check the Seibertron gallery of Optimus Prime's robot replicas...I can name ALOT of differences

1) Alot more detail
2) more weapons
3) more articulation
4) Look exactly like the cgi

Seriously I could go on but you're still gonna say the same thing...So good day to you sir .

moneycon wrote:$55.00 for a 5" figure....wth is happening to the world?

Well just in case you didnt know...IMO it's a fitting price. For something that looks so close to the cgi,lotsa articulation,the details are amazing and the paint apps are just gorgeous. So really 55 dollars isnt a ridiculous price. Wanna know what's a ridiculous price? 1000 dollars for a toy that's just a Voyager TF...Sure it's a one of a kind figure...But really? 1000 dollars for a frickin Voyager,that doesnt even look good...That you can call expensive my friend.

I guess I'm getting old....I don't know.....I haven't been in this game that long....it just seems like prices are shooting into the stars as of late.
