It's part of a card game, the same one that featured those Animated Repaints like the pink Blackarachnia and Chromia Arcee. Judging from those bar codes on the side, they tie in with an arcade game which seems to be all the rage in Japan. Bandai has something similar with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. We should ask our trusty Diem

I actually love the darker metallic color. The washed out reddish orange color of the US one is kinda ugly to me. Can't wait till he's released

Makes sense. I just find it strange and somewhat suspicious that they pictured MPs of all the other characters here, but G1 Soundwave.

G1 Hot Rod FTW. I'm guessing an Encore release. So Many Hot Rods Rodimuses to purchase now.

Glad I pre-ordered Animated Roddy. That shiny red looks quite nice.

Actually, that G1 Hot Rod is just there for illustration purposes. I can just make out G1 Prime and RM Primal in the smaller pic.

Seriously, I think so. I don't see another edition of Prime to go with him

I'd love to see another "Sons of Cybertron" set though: G1 Optimus Prime and G1 Rodimus Prime. Seriously.

I don't think they need to make a set. A single solo release is fine. Most people who would buy this probably already have some version of G1 rime to go with him.

Of course 2010 is Rodimus' year, according to the japanese cartoon it's the year he became Prime

Still looking forward to the Protector armor for my Classics, but Imma gonna get that MP Roddy too

WolfDawg wrote:Thanks for correction Blurrz. I should have said Black Convoy, but I'm so used to saying Nemesis Prime. Still, the figure looks awesome, and the 4200 yen price tag, plus inevitable Ebay markup isn't TOO bad. I'm willing to pay 120 bucks for the figure.
