    I think Mirage looks pretty bad myself, but I'm really digging the car mode. If he weren't a GT, I bet he'd not be nearly so well received.

    I find Prime looks better, and it looks like Prime can at least bend his elbows properly.

    That's a thing of beauty. I really hope the Alt line gets back to this sort of quality ASAP.

    Hells no, he's pure awesome as is. Quite a nice aesthetic departure from the run-of-the-mill Alt. looks, with the lithe body and shoulderpads.

    So can Mirage. He's got bicep swivels. The guy just has the arms turned inwards for a "hand on hips" pose.

    Love both modes ... but the crotch plate needs paint apps, badly. Dunno what would work ... maybe white or silver as as nod to his G1 form?

    I still can't wait to see this guy in my hands. Though nobody locally have restocked Alts in months so I may not see him at all. :(

    Maybe the stores around here will actually decide to restock around the time he comes out.

    w0rd. :) 

    I like the robot mode, but I'm concerned about the frailty of his racing stripes. Most paint applications on the recent Alternators practically rub off just looking at them.

    I still would like to see more of Alternators Rumble, and any other decent Alternators. Heck, even the straight repaint of Prowl, Camshaft, or who-ever-the-hell he is.

    I love the car mode. When I was in Toronto, some !@#$ painted his Ford GT in pastel pink and other vomit inducing colors. Who the heck pays top $$$ for a hot car and paints it like that!?!?

    Something other than the fact that it's changed from May to September?

    If not, than I doubt you'll hear anything other than 'This is what we were told and we don't have anymore information at this time, sorry'. I didn't even bother to e-mail them about that, since it's happened with another item before and that's exactly the response that I got.

    I hope he doesn't have that mis-matched plastic/paint problem that has effected many of the recent releases (cough, Optimus Prime, cough). If he doesn't, and is as well matched as he looks, he'll be kick-ass. I can't wait.
