    I think what Switchblade was refering to was that 95% of us who lives outside the US. And if so, then I completely agree. :banghead:

    Or perhaps the 95% includes those who choose not to get this because repaints are lazy and they suck.

    Yeah, where is this bio going to be? On the box, or with some kind of special insert or card?

    With that kind of attitude, you won't have "MORE TRANSFORMERS THAN ME" for much longer...

    Sweet bio ... but why does it refer to the Binal Tech project?

    Because someone at Hasbro was closely following the translated Binaltech story?

    You'll get caught up by buying over 200 repaints. I see. You can start with the Botcon sets.

    So Arkeville made Nem Prime to take out Megatron? This is a long shot, but could Hasbro be hinting that Megatron is gonna be destroyed and thus refitted with an Alternator body?

    I like this bio since it mentions Megatron, but Megatron has yet to surface in the BT world (in fact, Ravage locked him up in a time riff), which means Shockwave is the current boss. I like to imagine Shockwave is smart enough to outwit Nemesis and Arkeville and thus make Nemesis his own battle drone.

    Really good bio. Well done Hasbro.

    I'll be making him Trailbreaker still, but I feel a lot worse about it now.

    Awesome Bio! Very well played. I love the G1 feel. I hope they will continue this, although it is an exclusive, so who knows?
    The mention of Megs is very interesting...hmmm

    I get that... but that's the Japanese name. It wouldn't have surprised me if Hasbro had renamed it "The Alternator Project" or something along those lines.

    Still... cool bio.

    I'm as fatalistic as the next guy, but we dont know for sure if this is a limited release or not. From what I've heard from a Star Wars fan, Hasbro is making so many of the Comic Con Stormtroopers that fan clubs are able to pre-order them in bulk before the Con. Furthermore, most of the Alternators that are on Hasbro Toyshop right now have been there for months and are still in stock. I realize this toy is in higher demand than Rollbar, but I think (hope..) Hasbro can hold out for a little while

    Someone mind telling me how much this dude is fetching on auction sites right now? Some rough estimation will do before I seriously consider bringing this back, many thanks!

    Does this mean they done with alternators line and decided to make nemesis prime the decepticon leader instead of developing Megatron?

    I really hope they sell this on Hasbro Toy Shop. Otherwise, this is just rubbing salt in the wound.
