San Diego Comic Con has come and gone and today we begin our looks at some of the exclusives from the show. One of the last to be revealed and biggest sets this year was the IDW Revolution box set. Featuring figures representing many of the Hasbro-verse properties seen in the books, we got a mix of Transformers, G.I. Joe, MASK, Visionaries, Micronauts, Action Man and ROM. The 3.75 figures all use G.I. Joe modern era base bodies with some having additional molding applied. Roadblock was a previously unreleased figure that Renegades fans will dig. The Micronauts get mini static figures reminiscent of Micro Machines. And Jetfire is a reissue of the thrilling 30 leader class figure closer to the Japanese colors. All in all it’s a solid box set especially for those that collect multiple lines.
You can check out our pictures of the set here in full, 140+ are available: TFW2005’s SDCC Revolution Box Set Gallery

I'm offering up the Jetfire that came with set if anyone is interested.

I've always wanted to have the entire proverbial Round Table of Spaceknights, so I hope to look forward to that.
YAAAAAAASS

Leroric's "Hologram" is incredibly disappointing. I mean come on. Give him a real Hologram instead of this "Holographic background with a tampo on top". Utter Nonsense. You are being outclassed by the very toy you are trying to pay homage to.
Why is the new Matt Tracker so damn skinny?

Oh I noticed that. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to muddle the post with nit picks. I don't know why they remade all those parts with such subtle differences. The rest of the figure looks fine either way. The lower legs look odd to me so I focused on that.

Yeah, it was an at a glance first impression: I went back and looked again and kinda disagree with myself

I considered Boyega at first but decided he's not who I'm thinking of. Hmm.
artiepants
I thought he looked an awful lot like Finn/John Boyega minus the strong jaw. (At least that was my first impression)
Also, dang! I forgot how bad the 25th Joe Matt Tracker head was. I guess they were trying to differentiate him from Duke?

It says on the HTS placeholder page, August 14th is when it will go live. No preorders, just live sales.

How is it out of stock when there was no preorder up

Seeing stuff like this makes me fantasize about a Transformers – Inhumanoids mashup box set.

Just received my set in the mail today. The box is huge. What I really wanted were ROM, Renegades Road Block, and the Dire Wraith. I don't think I have a place for this version of Jetfire.

Recheck the picture comparing the two Matt's – almost the entire body is different between the two. I think the only shared parts are the accessories and maybe the forearms.

Really want this set. Wish there any another figure besides Jetfire, but oh well.
Fingers pumped for the F5!
EightiesKid
This is a good box set, a nice mashup and great tie in for the Revolutions comic.
Predarican
Wish they would have picked more of the Micronauts from the IDW Comic than what they went with.
UltraMagnanimus
Love the Rom, Mask and Visionaries figs.

Is this going up on Hasbro Toy Shop?

ROM still looks like a custom, but there\'s some appeal to be found in that.

That Rom figure is all kinds of cool.
