A retelling of the original Getter Robot franchise was done by Bandai Visual in 2004 via a 13 episode OVA. The concept of the series was almost the same as the original, along with some of the major characters. With the retelling, new designs for each Getter Robot was made. You can check out the video here.
Of the 3 Getter Robots, Getter 2 is considered the fastest of the 3 Getter Robots and is easily differentiated by the presence of a large drill and claw in place of hands. The presence of a large drill in its arsenal almost always ensures that Getter 2 will get the assignment of tackling enemies who have a penchant for hiding beneath the earth. Getter 2 is piloted by the lean and brooding Hayato.
Getter Robo 2 was incorporated into the Revoltech line of Kaiyodo. The toy was sculpted by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi and uses the unique joint system found in Revoltech models that allow for extreme posing. Getter 2 in New! Getter Robo (Shin! Getter Robo in Japanese) carries the spirit of the original Getter 2 in its design. The trademark Drill, Claw, pointed head, slit eyes and thin legs were carried over.
