I was wondering if anyone knows of any good guns, swords etc. to use with the alternators line. Other than the Binaltech accessory pack (which I can't find anywhere to buy) is there anyone that makes cool weapons? Are there any guns from other figures or lines that make good substitutes? They all have really sad looking tiny water guns and I really want to up the artillery. Pics would be awesome  Thanks in advance! |

Hound - has a very nice four barrelled long gatling gun that can mount on his rollbar in jeep mode, carried with a handle in robot mode. I think it came from a Gundam action figure, a big red guy whose main attraction was that gun.
Skids - carries the two-barrelled rifle that came with the Star Wars 1990s Hammerhead figure. Looks great with the robot mode and stores inside the van.
Windcharger - I made a new barrel for his gun with the shaft of a McFarlane Toys Jyaaku figure, he came with this huge staff weapon that's hollow at the end, so Windy's got a nice long barrelled sniper rifle now.
Jazz/Meister - Has another Gundam figure weapon, a long barrelled pistol with a scope and stock. I think it came with one of the Zaku figures.
Optimus Pickup - He has a rifle that I think came with the WildCATS Black Razor figure, a toy that came with two big rifles and two pistols, but couldn't really hold any of them. It looks great and wedges into his truck bed nicely.
Mirage - I needed some sort of silenced weapon or sniper rifle for this guy, since he's a spy. I found a nice collapsible rifle with silencer from a 21st Century Toys Matilda figure (fit in her backpack) that fits very nicely in his hand, and breaks into two parts to fit into the interior of the GT.
I'm sure lots of people have their own favorite weapon substitutions...

Would they be able to fit in the hands of an Alt? | |

For guns, you can't go wrong with the Armored Core stuff. Works for Shinkis too I believe. | |

OMG, he changed his signature for the first time in years. Miracles can happen.

It makes a handy little dagger for my Alt. Ginrai custom. 
(Older picture, yo.)
Though I don't have any photos, I also use Clocker's pipes for Alt. Rodimus like many people have done. | |
