Takara Japanese Transformer G1 SCF PVC ACT-8 - FORTRESS Color Version

Most Transformers SCF figures are approximately three inches tall. Each figure was sold blind-packed in a box of twelve. There were ten waves or Acts released in Japan starting in late 2000. The first eight acts featured characters from the Generation One Transformers continuity. Acts nine & ten were based solely on Micron Legend characters.

Every basic figure was available in two color schemes. Acts one through three featured characters in their original animation colors as well as clear plastic. Acts four through ten featured characters either in their animation colors or in a metallic "pewter" finish.

Chase figures were randomly available in each act. Some were repaints of existing figures, but many were new or retooled molds. From Act Three through Act Eight, pieces to construct larger-scale figures were hidden with some of the clear or pewter toys. There were also exclusive figures available at conventions or as Lucky Draw prizes.
