    I would love to be proven wrong as well, but I've got to call it how I see it. I'm seeing it like you're seeing it.

    The truth will out once the Japanese Hobby magazines start hitting. If they still have the old heads I'd say that would be quite conclusive.

    This. I will probably still end up with Dai and Banzai regardless, maybe Galvatron for the simple "he's stupidly powerful" angle.

    "Asia Exclusive" - I am not sure if Japan is included in this.

    As for the head, I can't say for the Swift mould as I don't have one, but I wonder what they can do with that tiny GTR head. Not much can be done since the shape of the head itself can't be greatly altered due to the synchrotech gimmick.

    It doesnt really look like Dai Atlas, but I kinda want it just cos he has his name. I may be a sucker.

    "Exact," no, that's nitpicky. But they are selling it to us under that name, so a complaint that it doesn't look like Dai Atlas is pretty justified!

    That's really funny. How are repaints worse than not existing in the first place? :lol 

    A fair point. Oh well. TakaraTomy will either tempt me into buying their product, or they won't. I have no stake in Alternity and I haven't been breathlessly waiting for any of these characters.

    My friend, we ALL are for something in this fandom. Just accept it, and be happy!

    I'm disappointed, but Goldbug will be bought.(Don't own the mold at all and he will differ from my Classics Bumblebee)

    -EDIT- I guess, I jumped the gun a bit. lol With a new head Goldbug should be perfect.

    the only reasons I'd get that dai atlas is because I don't have a dai atlas or that model . . . oh and he looks cool

    Can't explain it, but i really want that Dai Atlas.

    Five repaints of one fairly new mold that's gotta be some kind of record.

    Getting that Dai Atlas for sure. Looks great. Bring on pics of the other repaints. I love Alternity regardless of the head molds. What about a new mold altogether before you start remolding heads?

    Goldbug looks neat, and if he has a decent new head, I'll get him. Dai Atlus....not so much (unless the head is really awesome).

    As much as I lament it, I would be very surprised to see new heads at this point. Too bad too, they go from instant buy to instant pass.
