It would have been sweet if they could actually do a Pontiac Solstice alternator.. even if it doesn't Transform "Movie Style"...

 

Zombie line.. ZOMBIE LINE!!!!

Wow... this is news.

 

Last time they turned out a Binaltech from the Impreza mold quite a few had a problem with parts not lining up correctly, suggesting the mold was damaged.

I'm skeptical about this one being any improvement.

Which brings me to something else:

Was it said before that Alternators and Binaltechs are made from different molds due to differences in molding plastic and molding diecast?

If that's the case, considering that BTA Alert had pretty obvious QC problems, and Alt Ricochet didn't, i'm wondering if that could be taken as evidence that these two are going to be predominantly plastic?

This person does not represent Irish Transfans.

 

This is the first thing I thought upon seeing the news. I wouldn't mind seeing an 06-07 STi, but the 2008 is butt-ugly.

 

They made a 2004 WRC version of Smokescreen in that year, but never used that retool again, for some reason.

 

hmmm.

Bt Camshaft.

alt mode fitand so does the head minus mask.

 

Cue the fans going "OMFG ITS NOT DEAD YET WHERE'S MAH NEW ALTAHNATAHS AT DAWG?!"
Anywho, if they're going for a movie accurate paint-job on Meister, his helmet needs to be silver and his faceplate needs to be black. Otherwise its just the Geewun head...again.
And here comes Blue...Bluestreak again?
DN

 

I never claimed to. All i'm saying is it's highly unlikely we will see new molds so if Has/Tak want to keep doing Alt/BT why not do characters that have not been released yet instead of characters that have been released?

 

TakaraTomy likes to play it safe.

 

Pass, Passity Pass pass!!

I love Alts/BT. Lord knows it. I got control of a forum dedicated to them but these are so passable. Now with their prices through the roof, I wont be checking for these. All Plastic and $20 more dollars than when they were part metal

PLUS.....Where the F*** is a Red Scion Repaint as Ironhide? A Blue repaint of Rumble? The Prowl mold as Red Alert? Takara's Version of Decepticharge? Wincharger (Decepticharge's head on the Mustang body) as a Shelby Cobra? This is Tak's 4th redo of the RX-8. I dont want another 2003 Imprezza if it would keep me alive.

 

Awaits pre-order.  

If these are real, I'll support it even if they just do redecos for now. Where's the Frenzy and Steeljaw repaints?

 

Holy crap, I may have sold all of my Alts(except Silverstreak) but damn I'm tempted on that Bluestreak! 

 

Wow, new Binaltechs - maybe if these generate interest there will be new molds, at least thats what I will keep telling myself.

 

Jazz was driving around town and saw that Transformers the movie was playing. He bought a ticket sat down and saw himself on the screen in silver and thought "damn I look good". He then left (after the movie was over) and went to the local body shop and now you have this new binaltech. The End

 

Maybe these are just to test the market... To see if the movie has generated more interest in real-world alt modes.

 

Great Jazz is on my wish list, this will make it easy to get him.

 

In TakaraTomy's new screwed up continuity, the Movie is (somehow) part of G1.

So in 2007 he became a Solstice, died, came back to life as a RX-8 again in 2008?

 

i have no any surprise with this,but seem like Jazz is looking cool...

 

Man, I've been totally out of Alternators for awhile now as I lost interest in the line, but even if I was still having crazy hopes for Alts like some members these two would be so passable.

Blue Bluestreak doesn't appeal to me, because it's the fifth Subaru Impreza that we've recieved (Smokescreen, Smokescreen GT, BT* Red Alert & Ricochet previously) and the fourth use of the 2003 mold. I mean, they could have at least reused the 2004 mold, but I guess that was asking too much... ugh...

And as for Jazz... way to cash in on the movie guys. It's not even as interesting as the red Meister (Zoom Zoom) that got released alongside Meister. Bleh, and another use of this mold would have been welcome as a new character as I never did care for the Soundwave version.

Oh well, great for those of you who are still super into Alts/BT, but this would do nothing but dissapoint me if I were still into the line.
