    My biggest reason yet to buy an Alternity, closely followed by Skywarp.

    For some reason, some mold just look better in certain colours IMO.

    Nice, but I prefer the regular Alternity box where the car is visible. I wonder why they didn't use that with this release.

    maybe on a head remolding in a future release....

    i guess just to make it exclusive and 'unique' from ehobby, they had to cover it up /2cents

    a few of us are getting them from tfsource. order two and save 10 dollars and split shipping. we did the same for warbot defender and i ended up paying 2 bucks less than retail including shipping. get some folks from your sightings and hook it up.

    Guys I'm fairly certain that image is just a digital mockup, I'm sure the box will have the plastic window when it's released – they've just been left out for this image because it's not worth the time and hassle to photoshop those details in realistically... This image is just to give people an idea of what the artwork on the box will be, along with the text.

    Actually, it seems fairly likely it will be a solid box. The placement and size of the Alternity logos, car model markings, name tags, and the like have all been completely consistent in Alternity releases so far in the see-through boxes.

    By comparison, this one has MUCH larger alternity logos, a nametag on the front and top on the left ends, and the model logo on the bottom left of the top side. There's also an Autobot logo shown on both end panels of the box, where there is normally only one in cutout form on the end of the box where the back of the car is.

    All of these design pieces are taking up a lot of the room that is normally clear on the box, and would severely obscure the view of the vehicle mode inside.

    Not really, unless they gave him a new head and such.

    Precisely. Too bad they felt the Suzuki mold was worth the expense but not this one.
