    How would 1:24 Ironhide and Ratchet work out to coincide (at least partially) with their movie forms?

    Forgive me, but I like the clear windows, moving steering wheels, linked steering axles, opening hoods with engines - basically replica car qualities in the Alternators.

    Ratchet is a Hummer.

    Ironhide is a GMC Topkick.

    These are going to be a lot larger than the current deluxe toys that are virtually the same size as Wheeljack and Mirage Alternators in one picture I saw of them all together.

    Would a $30 price point for Deluxe Alternators work?

    Would a $50 cheaper version for Basic MPEs work?

    Do you think we'll get them?

    While we're at it, how will Bonecrusher, Brawl, and Blackout work?

    they might make Alt bumblebee as a '08 camaro and maybe even another Alt jazz(meister) as the solstice. and they could easily do Alt barricade since they already have the mustang mold. ratchet is a distant possibility since he'd be around the length of Alt prime though bulkier, but i doubt they'd do ironhide (too big). and certainly they wouldn't do any of the decepticons (an Alt blackout would be 3.3 feet long)....

    Alternators is an old line of G1 characters. Even if the line WASN'T over already, movie != G1
