I think I'll preorder the silver one

Also, looks like after this event, the Japanese toyshop listings are going to be changed to Convoy at last?

It's so sad to see how many Wildriders are hitting yhj auctions already

Seems to be around US$50-ish. Ryan had them pre-ordering at US$42, eToysJapan at US$40-ish.

I like how the silver version gets its own unique color scheme. Past figures like the blue version of BT-15 Prowl which only had the color on the car parts changed resulting in a mismatched color scheme in bot mode had me worried that the same might apply here. Glad to see it's not the case.

The hands on this figure are also really well sculpted. A big improvement on the BT hand sculpts even at a smaller scale.

The only downside for me so far is that the engine block is attached to the back of Convoy's head. It's not so apparent on this version since it's all silver but I think it's going to stick out on the red version.

Love that transforming pic of Thundercracker. Awesome. Alternity is a maybe for me. The back kibble is pretty bad.

Convoy certainly looks alright, but my biggest frustration with Binaltech/Alternators was how often you'd have to struggle to line up the panels in vehicle mode because there was nothing to lock them together. Hopefully that won't be an issue anymore.

Hrmn....The roof looks like it's connected by just two screws...So it should be pretty easy to get rid of that massive backkibble.

Damn, Alternity Convoy looks awesome! I wonder if it'll come with the hot Japanese chick in one of the pictures.

Massive back kibble?.... Jesus, you guys have been drinking the DON Fig Koolaid too long. Looks unobtrusive to me, but it would have been nice if it had an extra hinge in there.

Figure looks so amazing in silver. The red one will have to be pretty slick to top this.
