Takara Tomy will release the repaint version of Transformer Revenge Of The Fallen Voyager Class White Demolishor and Deluxe Class Red Rampage.

All the figures colour scheme will be closer to the ROTF movie counterparts. No official information on the release of these figures at this moment.

I can't see how these will not get a US release as well.

News Credits: 12 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 7:54 am

I never bought Demolisher, but that white one is sweet. If Hasbro releases it, I might get it.

Tue Oct 13, 2009 7:56 am

SKIP!

Dammit!! Now I wish I would have waited on picking up these two.

News Credits: 241 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:18 am

Ok, the only one missing a repaint now is Long Haul... O, Hasbro ;;)

News Credits: 462 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:24 am

That is just not fair! Why didn't they do this in the first place!

First Buster Optimus Prime, then red-faced Devastator, and now this! :-x

Gimme! not sure about red Rampage (Redpage?), but white Demolisher is all mine if hasbro releases him here. I might swap the cabin parts w/ red Demo, seems like that would be more movie accurate.

What would be a good new color for Long Haul? Yellow? Black?

Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:50 am

i havn't got demolisher yet and i'm well glad now

this white version rocks, altho his head still looks dark red, need some more pics to be sure
hopefully hasbro will release him under N.E.S.T subline
the red rampage is nice but i'm happy with my yellow one as the dev part is also yellow

my heart did kip a beat tho as i thought the title said, NEW ROTF Constructions

Everyone meaning the fans, well... Takara's TF lines tends more to collectors than to kids, while the opposite is true for Hasbro's. Not everyone (meaning the majority) in the US would like the repaints you know?

Release them here.

Typical! Just got Demolishor for £11.48 at Tesco (reduced from £22.97!)!

But I simply have to get the White one and Red Rampage...I'll call my Demolishor Scavenger from now on, for obvious reasons. In my eyes, the white one is the real Demolishor!

News Credits: 1 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:16 am

SO totally called these. ... then again they were pretty obvious. i may pick up red rampage but im trying tot keep away from the repaints

Because if you look at the film again, you'll see that Demolishor *is* primarily white (when you watch it again, freeze it the split-second before before he transforms; that's the best way to see his colour scheme).

Takara strikes again...

So in other words, ROTF is more like G1 every day. Characters endlessly changing colour, and megatron running away at the end even when he could win :wink:

I saw the film once, and truely wasnt very fond of it compared to the first, I may watch it again after I watch X-Men Origins again

Leave it to the Jap companies to get the colors right on the constructicons. Hasbro CATCH UP !!! They cant copyright a color so cash in and bring em to retail $$$$$$$$

The mixmaster repaint was just a G1 homage because out of all the constructicons (not counting Long Haul) Mixmaster was the closest to a G1 style robot free of weird Bay-style creations for legs. Long Haul doesnt need a repaint because Hasbro got his colors right the first time plus even though it is not the G1 green it is close enough...

Red Rampage!?
If I start crying, you guys wont think any less of me, will you?

News Credits: 2 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 3:05 pm

I heard a rumor that Hasbro would release a red rampage for 1Q of 2010 per movie accuracy? of course everyone knows how rumors are.... :roll:

Tue Oct 13, 2009 4:06 pm

I'll keep my fingers crossed that we will see these over here. If not, well there is always Hobby Link Japan.

And eBay; that's how I got my Bonecrusher when it wasn't available over here (UK), only realised afterwards it was Takara Tomy! :lol:

Silly thing was, I knew it was Japanese, but didn't know of Takara Tomy at the time!

Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:32 pm

This is why i waited so long for the red Repaint of rampage!

News Credits: 609 · Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:39 pm

Why does everyone think that Hasbro won't release these here?

They are the king of repaints. They've repainted '07 Bumblebee 9 times!

I'll eat my hat if we don't see a US release of both of these in the next 12 months.
