I believe all toy-lovers will be familiar with the name Master Tsuyoshi Nonaka. He is best known for designing the Super Sentai series and the brilliant "SSSS.DYNAZENON" in recent years. But what has Master Nonaka got to do with "Transformers"? And why is the product launch not about the invincible Optimus Prime and Megatron, but Rodimus Prime and Galvatron? Actually, there is a reason for this.
In 1986, the third season of the "Transformers" animation "2010" was released in Japan. Since the work was owned by Hasbro U.S., not much information was available for publication in children's magazines. Therefore, "TV Magazine" commissioned Studio OX to re-create the illustrations. The person in charge of illustration at that time was Mr. Nonaka, who was still studying at the Tokyo School of Design. Nonaka’s unique style, which was starkly different from the original animation, was widely acclaimed at the time and was even known as the most beautiful Rodimus Prime.
Now, more than 30 years later, we invited Master Nonaka to re-interpret the Studio OX version of "Transformers". The unique feature of this product is that the parts are replaceable so as to portray the different figures of “Hotrod” and "Rodimus Prime". Not only so, it is also made of a combination of diecast and plastic, resulting in a heavy-weight texture that is much-loved by Transformers fans.
