    I wonder why the Human Alliance line is more expensive than the Alternators line?

    Maybe GM needs to charge more money for licensing and bailout.....? lol! Milk it for all its worth!

    I just picked up the HA BB today and he looks awesome, can't wait for Sideswipe and the gang!

    BBTS just got the Black Convoy in and I think they just got in Alternity Megatron (both colors) too. Alternity Megatron was originally supposed to come out in early June but was delayed until late June in Japan so most retailers out here are just getting their Megatrons in.

    if i'm correct, Alternity is the continuation of Binaltech, a.k.a. Alternators. so yes.

    what im saying is that Alternity is the continuation of Binaltech/Alternators, answering red4's question.

    Only partially. The Alternity storyline is a continuation of the Binaltech storyline, apparently. Alternators never had a storyline. However the Alternity toyline is not the continuation of the Binaltech toyline because of the differing scales (1:32 verses 1:24), more of a successor really.

    Alternator/Binaltech never did it for me. Probably I think the robot mode is not as good.

    I bought Alternity Convoy and I love it instantly. Badass robot mode, good size and highly detailed. My Megatron is on the way now. I really hope the line will continue!
