Revoltech No 040 - Optimus Prime DX (Jetwing Optimus)

[griffin]

The next Transformers character in the Revoltech line has been revealed to be Jetwing Optimus (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/scifi-revoltech-40-optimus-prime-dx/25418/), called "Optimus Prime DX".
It is number 040 in the Revoltech series (which does articulated figures from a variety of JP anime series), and is scheduled to be out October 1st in Japan.
It's probably just a minor reworking of the earlier Optimus Revoltech figure, with lots of extra bits. (I don't collect Revoltech, so not sure)

its looks pretty much like the earlier released Optimus.

this doesn't come as a surprise since they did the same thing with leviathan and the recent jehuty.

annoys me though.

I can't wait to nab this guy! He looks amazing!

Loving the Prime Red & Blue on the boosters!

Saw some in the box yesterday. Very nice. But I know the flaws of Revoltech well. Shame really. Anyway I already have Prime.

[gantz]

Sorry if a silly question, but when is he released?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Already is released.

Confusion abounds! The original Optimus with gun parts released Sep 15 2011, the new one with jet parts releases Oct 1 2012.

Revoltech have posted up a video (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/scifi-revoltech-40-optimus-prime-dx-video/25770/) to show off the new version of Movie Optimus, that comes out October 1st.

LOVE the awsome (cheesey) NES soundtrack!
Though it sounds familiar....any one know if its from somewhere?

[Quickstrike]

It sounds very Megaman-ish.
