Really, really hard to believe just from pictures that it's a deluxe size toy.
Giant roof hanging off the back is annoying but most alternators had some so it's not unexpected. It's a pity they didn't make it fold up like the RX=8's roof & windscreens kibble though. Quote:

That said, the GT-R was out in Japan a while ago and these aren't out til next January so as a tie in deal it's a poorly orchestrated one. Quote:

Wouldn't a bigger scale allow for more details which is what they are going for?  | The Japanese are pressed for space on every front, smaller toys sell better and that's just the way it is and presumably the way it will stay. |

He even has Automorphing. |

The proportions are fantastic even with hood-as-chest, he looks powerful yet limber, extremely posable, and diecast to boot. The back doesn't bother me at all. Who can stop looking at his front?
Interesting that he's not shown with any discernable weaponry. I wonder what their role and underlying fiction will be.
It's no surprise that this line would lead off with Convoy. Those that don't (Alternators, Binaltech) are the exceptions rather than the rule.
Looking forward to this line like no other in the past 12-18 months. Bad-ass cars, bad-ass robots, neo-Binaltech philosophy, updated design aesthetic, post-movie engineering. 100% win. |

I've been staring at those seats trying to figure out if they were in fact blasters or just sculpted seats, but should have checked the large illustration behind the real car, where they're actually deployed.
Regardless, it appears they're not doing separate handheld weapons here, which I actually think is a good thing. |
