Toy Images of ROTF Optimus Prime & Ravage Repaint

HOW many paintjobs has that poor mold of Prime had to date now?

dang, Ravage is sweet. as usual, us americans are stuck with the less-awesome figures. Prime, I'm guessing, is the one that combines with the new voyager jetfire gig.

Doubt it. It's just the same Voyager Prime we've been getting since shortly before the first film came out years ago. Unless they just designed the Jetfire component to armor up around that mold, like the City Commander trailer does with Classics Magnus. But if that's the case then, given the jet component doesn't have a robot mode, it'll have to be sold with a set which will force anyone interested to buy the Voyager mold again.

But I really don't think that's the case.

And this is one of the same people that would claim that the Chromed version we are getting as a redemption figure would be cooler if Takara released that one instead. Sometimes I think people just want to bash Hasbro just because. Stop b_tching!!!

Now THAT'S a Ravage we want! Hopefully it'll have the red-eye instead of that silly purple eye...

G1 inspired, maybe; but are we getting a flavour of a premium line?

Actually, the pictures we've see thus far do show that the new Power-Up Prime will indeed be a Voyager Prime with add-on armour parts, so this could very well be the base figure for that set.

However, it's worth bearing in mind that the original ROTF Voyager Prime that came out in the US (the one with the Chinese writing on it) was never actually released in Japan. So for Takara, it's the very first mass-release of that particular colour scheme (the Toyfar Exclusive version excepted, of course).

Ravage looks cool but im not paying the price to import. Im getting sick of the voyager prime repaints that really arent repaints.

Weird.

Are we sure it's bushido and not actually bohica?
