    Dang it! When I saw there were gonna be new Alternity figures, I thought they would be easy for me to pass on and save some money (the only one I've bought so far is Skywarp), but I needs me some new Galvatron, Goldbug, and Banzaitron goodness!!

    Banzai-tron is an insta-buy, Galvatron is a probably-buy, and Dai Atlas is a maybe-buy. It's great that there's more Alternity stuff to look forward to!

    Banzai-tron in a Questor mold? Strange and unexpected.
    I might get him just to customize him into Universe Ramjet.

    I wanted to get the prime mold, but never did. I was very enamored of the black version especially. In fact I never got any of the molds, so Dia Atlus has my attention, very much so.

    Galvatron and Goldbug, no interest.

    If I was gonna get the Starscream mold, I would have nabbed Thundercracker, so this is also a pass.

    But Dia Atlus, interesting.

    I'm so excited for these. Hope we get to see pics soon.

    It's kinda weird with Dai Atlas getting a toy. When's the last time he did that? :lol

    This, too. 3/4 of these characters need new heads to be buy-worthy. The current heads are too character-specific, save Starscream/Skywarp/TC, who have a generous resemblance to Banzai-Tron already.

    I never did pick up either Bee or Cliff from that series. If Goldbug's pant looks good and gets a new head, I may go for that one.

    Galvatron and Goldbug are inst-a-buys for me. Not sure about Dai-Atlas, and don't care about Banzitron.

    Surprising that the Megatron mold wasn't made into Bludgeon.

    So how many repaints for each of the three Alternity bots are there now?

    One is what, OP/UM/NP, and now Dai Atlas.
    The Megs one has a fourth color that's "Galvatron"
    The Seekers now have Banzai as 4th redeco.
    And Cliff/Bee gets a Gold Bug version. So 3... More if they choose to make Glyph, Hubcap, etc...

    Optimus has silver, red, black, white (Magnus), and likely blue (Dai Atlas)
    Megatron has blue, silver, black, and likely purple (Galvatron)
    Starscream has white (SS), purple (Skywarp), blue (Thundercracker) and likely black or gray for Banzai-Tron
    Bumblebee has yellow (BB), red (Cliffjumper), and presumably gold (Goldbug)
