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.

Looking pretty bitchin' so far, may have to pick this guy up at some point

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.

Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:54 pm

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.

Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:26 pm

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.

Fri Jun 24, 2011 12:08 am

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.
