Very cool! I wouldn't mind getting one and doing some weathering detail, once I learn how ;-)

Cool, very cool.

Can you imagine how well these would have sold if they had been released in the States?

I like the use of the ROCC as a transport for the Votom. Quite an under-appreciated vehicle from the "new sculpt" era.

Excuse my ignorance of these nice looking robots but are the robots 1/18 and the human figure much smaller? or is the human fig 1/18 and the robot much bigger?

the robot and figure fit in 1 18 scale ... i think the confusion comes because votoms comes in so many scale 1/20 1/18 1/12 and 1/8 scale all same robot... the hardes to fine are 1 18 scale and the 1/8... the 1/8 is a resin model u put together and it is in the thousand

I meant it would have been great to have the Votoms released in the US. I picked up this Votom about two years ago from HLJ. I love it.

And yes, the R.O.C.C. was released for the 1/18 figures via Hasbro's doomed "Direct to Consumer" line. The HISS, RHINO, Night Ops Humvee and ROCC are all fantastic. The Sigma 6 version came out about a year later. I don't think it was retooled either. The colors were exactly the same too.
