Also, it says preorders start June 12th @ 1:00pm. What time zone, and what does that mean for the East Coast?

That'd be Japanese time zone. Which I believe is 13 hours ahead of the East Coast.

Ah... Okay. Been a while since I popped that disc in.
Anyway... Wow, talk about an obscure and pointless choice of redeco for Spike. Ah well.
Obscure is never pointless!
You're implying correlation between the two. It is obscure and it is pointless, but the former is not the cause of the later.
I quite agree that often the obscure can be an enjoyable thing. This is, alas, not one of these times.
Actually, I believe more of the techs wear that jacket during the Operation Yashima scenes. I think the End of Eva movies may show a few dead ones in the hallways. But yeah, I referenced the 1.11 movie for the jacket.

then why he is red? And the panel on his hand does not look like the part of a VW Bug altmode

He isn't. It's the lighting. Optimus is the truly red one in that pic.Likov Stas wrote:then why he is red?
Nor is that Cliffjumper's head.
Have you seen any pic of Masterpiece Bumblebee? His arms hardly have any altmode parts on them. And both the Bumblebee in this pic and the MP have the exact same circle on their hands as seen below:Likov Stas wrote:And the panel on his hand does not look like the part of a VW Bug altmode

That said, it did give me this gem of a line:
"I notice the convoy who are in feet suddenly."

In addition, the Takara website for the crossover has been updated with another haunting piece of artwork to serve as backdrop to the second part of the story! Check both out below, and head here for the Japanese text (our English version is an attempt via machine translation and human tweaking, forgive us).
Right then, a mysterious shadow appeared in front of the Angel.
"Power... this... this body feels worthy... yes.. "
"That... voice, Starscream. What? No way?!"
Convoy raised his voice unintentionally. Starscream somehow continued to wander, he lost is life in the Unicron war a few years back, his spark left his body... you could call his state.. a ghost .
The shadow of Starscream's ghost merges with the angel, its figure started to mutate. It becomes something different, something half Starscream , half angel - AngelScream.
"What is happening?! Is the angel changing..?!"
Misato wasn't able to hide her surprise at the situation either.
"I have obtained a new body at last!"
AngelScream raised a laugh. He noticed Convoy at his feet.
"An angel, you say? No, also Cybertronian now. And it feels right - let me try this new power!"
AngelScream aimed his wrath at Convoy. The massive size difference shortly puts the Autobots in a desperate situation.
Everything grew more chaotic as one unexpected event followed the other. Commander Misato tells orders the launch of the EVA-01 Unit. New Tokyo 3 begins to change.
"What is going on? Is this place like Scramble City?"
As Convoy's mind rushes, the ground opens before his eyes, and the EVA-01 Unit rises out of it. The Cybertron warriors were overwhelmed by the sheer size of it, nothing they had ever seen before.

I want this. Its a gaudy paint job but I just like it.
Posted by Sabrblade on June 3rd, 2014 @ 9:09am CDT
Posted by Skullcrunchberries on June 3rd, 2014 @ 11:29am CDT
Still, I may be on board with this; especially if they make an Angelscream down the line.

Convoy is not Shinji. This story has given no indication of him acting any differently than normal.vegetacron wrote:Great, just what we needed: Emo-Prime!

"How has the human race been able to make such a huge robot?!"
A strange sensation came over Convoy, on seeing the giant figure.
(No... this feeling... not a robot? Seimeinokodou, call this the primitive ...?)
[Convoy Scanning Eva first aircraft to be guided], it suddenly grew in size. Its body and colour changing to match that of the EVA Unit-01.
"Now... now Transformers are... Eva ...?"
Misato of the Nerv staff was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The gigantic Convoy turned to face the Angel Scream, opening its chest armor to increase its cry.
"Uoo O~o~o~o~o Golfo ...!"
The Matrix held in its chest was as red as the core of the Angels, shining as if a new life had been born.
A new battle, a different stage... begins.
Posted by Evil Eye on July 12th, 2014 @ 10:43am CDT
Still kinda disappointed that Spike wasn't remolded/redeco'd into Shinji though. Although I reckon the little Shinji minifigure that comes with the old LMHG Eva 01 plamo (which I am fortunate enough to own) would scale right though. Though as I don't have MP Prime, I can't comment...

Did I just read that right? Optimus scanned Eva01 and is now a gigantic angry truck transformer? I'd hate to be Sachielscream right now...

Do we know how many are being sold in the US, or how big the production run is?
Posted by Sabrblade on November 7th, 2014 @ 8:36am CST
Seeing as it's a Japanese-only figure, I'd guess that the number for units being sold domestically in the US is zero.megatronus wrote:So the solicitations said only 1000 would be sold in Japan, right?

Not counting for online importers, of course.

It's stil on preorder at several places, so it might not be out just yet.megatronus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Seeing as it's a Japanese-only figure, I'd guess that the number for units being sold domestically in the US is zero.megatronus wrote:So the solicitations said only 1000 would be sold in Japan, right?

It's not out, but that's exactly why I want to know... I'm just curious at how many are being produced, and how many of that total production run will be sold in the US. I want to know how 'limited' it really is.
Posted by Sabrblade on November 7th, 2014 @ 9:24am CST
That was a fan custom on display at a con, which some sites mistook for a real figure.shajaki wrote:say, wasnt there supposed to be a repainted eva1 in convoy colors released as well? it was a revoltech or something... havent anything about that in a while.
