[World ID: Primax 109.0 Beta]
The time is 2009. The place is another Earth. There, the robot life forms called Cybertrons and humanity live peacefully together. However, a quarter century after they first met, an unknown threat endangers the world. On the four outer planets of the solar system, large marks resembling the claws of a beast have simultaneously appeared.
On Earth, following the appearance of the marks, a mysterious ring of light appeared in the skies above Vancouver, America. When the Cybertron army deployed there, the ring of light floated above their heads in the shape of a closed racetrack, and around it was racing something that appeared to be a silver sports car. When Commander Convoy saw this strange sight, he whispered, “The promised time has arrived,” and he stopped his compatriots as they prepared for battle. “That visitor is our friend. To be more precise, that is the me of another world. It is Convoy.”
Two years before, he had met a messenger from another world and made a secret promise. In the year 2009, the evil Megatron would bring the terrifying Beast of Time and come to destroy the Earth. The beast “Hytherion” was a super-dimensional life form and a powerful enemy that those on Earth could not even touch. The only thing that could act against this threat was the power of the multi-dimensional space protectors called “Alternity.” Convoy agreed that when the danger appeared, he would become a member of Alternity and fight alongside them.
In the center of the ring, a spacetime window opened and a shining metallic frame appeared from within. Convoy fused with the frame, and before the Cybertrons’ eyes, he was reshaped and transformed into a form matching that of the silver visitor. In that instant, he was reborn as a manifestation of the Alternity super-beings. As Convoy raised his hand into the skies and cast aside the veil of the dimensions, the row of Hytherion’s giant fangs became visible covering the heavens. And so, with modern Earth as its stage, an unimaginable battle began.
Higher Definition
Biology: Alternity is a future form of the Transformers which, after 900,000 years, have evolved into a celestial being. Their bodies are made of a higher-dimensional material called Alternium, and they have huge forms that straddle multiple parallel worlds. As a result, it is impossible for terrestrial beings to comprehend the entirety of their appearance. Each individual fuses with their selves of countless parallel worlds to make up a giant manifold being. The word Alternity, referring to their multi-dimensional nature, has become the name for the entire species.
Abilities: They are able to “reach out their hand” to various time periods and dimensional worlds, and they can use their powers to manipulate reality and duplicate timelines. Furthermore, when taking individual action on the mortal plane, they use Transformer bodies called “Auto-Avatars.” Each avatar’s mechanical function is about the same as that of a modern Transformer, but various high functions have been added through the technology of the Alternity. The Auto-Avatars normally transform into the form of a sports car, which is the most efficient method of transportation for using the super-dimensional locomotion of the Timaeus Drive.
Weaknesses: The Alternity are experts on dealing with multiple dimensions, but they are not omnipotent in the matter of time travel. Their greatest weakness is that they cannot move under their own power to any time prior to when Alternium was first created; that is, Earth date 2007. This often works to their disadvantage when battling Hytherion. For missions that go past this barrier, they must use long-range time-space weapons, or the aid of non-Alternity agents called “Protectors.”
A-01 Masterlord Convoy
Alternity Grand Commander Convoy
Alt-mode: Nissan GT-R
Convoy’s new form, which transforms into a GT-R sports car, is a very unusual transformation in which he uses the super-material frame built into his body to link with the hyper-being from the future, “Alternity.” This body, which is known as the “Auto-Avatar,” is in a way an avatar of Convoy that has evolved into a higher form. Alternity includes a collective of many Convoys from different dimensions, and each of them can have its own avatar. So far, the two Auto-Avatars that are known to exist are the silver one known as “Vector 01” that was created in the “BT World” from which Alternity originates, and the red traditionally-colored “Vector 109.” Each has ranged space-time weapons on both arms called “tachyon blasters,” and in car mode, they can activate the Timaeus Drive that opens the super-dimensional portal. With these new abilities, Convoy will continue his mission to protect peace on Earth and defend freedom, and will thus challenge Megatron’s ambitions.
* Ten-Dimensional Processor Block [head]: The brain-part that controls multi-dimensional thinking and consciousness.
* Timaeus Powertrack Generator [chest]: Generates the racetrack for the super-dimensional-locomotion Timaeus Drive.
* Universal Emulation Engine [waist]: Universal mechanism that replicates all mechanical devices.
* Phasic Isolation Shield Emitter [knee]: Shield emitter that erases one’s presence and offers total protection.
* Timestorm Detector Array [door-wing]: Able to remotely detect the generation of changes in time-space and immediately calculate their coordinates.
* Alternium Hyper-Frame [clavicle]: Higher-dimensional-material receiver that physically links the Auto-Avatar and the true Alternity.
* Anti-Hytherion Spacetime-Piercing Tachyon Blasters [forearm]: Super-long-range armaments that can strike targets existing in the past, the future or in other dimensions.
* Planet Force Storage Reactors [lower leg]: Where the vibrational energy of the planets is gathered as backup energy storage.

So... now the Transformers have gone D&D huh? This pretty much reads like something out of the Deities and Demigods handbook...
Could be interesting if it isn't overdone...

Autobot Burnout:
All I understood was parts about one Silver Convoy simply racing around a racetrack while another became a different Silver Convoy, then the gate to hell opened up and some beast very similar to the one in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" showed up and some interdimentional fight began.
If I ever get the figure, I'm simply gonna say "He's the TF equivelent to Chuck Norris fused with Mr. T, Optimus Prime, and God" and leave it at that.
TRANS+CRAZY:
Sounds cool. I might reconsider getting Alternity Convoy then. I was thinking of getting only Megatron.
ShadowStitch:
It's still an undersized, overpriced, painted hunk of metal.
Sorry guys, but backstory only goes SO far in determining my purchases.
I dub thee "Alternity Prime: Mary Sue of the Titaniums."

Yeah....

Smeg:
Man it's gotta suck to put all the effort into a translation just to be rewarded with that. Makes me think of Ralphie using the Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring just to be told to "be sure to drink your Ovaltine".

Although unlike Ralphie, the reward was some story about why this toy has supposed god-like powers, which is minorly better than being told to drink more chocolate milk. Alterenity Convoy's story was also developed by the Japanese, so it's bound to not make sense at some points.
Vangelus:
I am in LOVE with this story.  underwear-ninja:
I think its cool that Tomy tries to keep coming up with a new fiction for each series of toys, but these stories are just getting to be really stupid with all the super-dimensional race tracks and lolicon girls getting raped.
Matt Booker:
It's so OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 it would make Goku blush.

Skylock:
They could've done better.
Fit For natalie:
I'm amazed TakaraTomy took the continuity classification system that was created for the Fun Publications Transformers Club magazine and incorporated it into their side of Transformers.

And yeah, tough luck on Vancouver, WA!
Fosterlager:
Yeah, this one's strictly for the turbonerds.
I do like Vancouver, America. That the same geography from Masterforce?
SAF7:
Wow. This takes 'overpowered' to a whole new level.
Nerroth:
We should have a contest to decide bios for the 2005 take on the Alternity range - call it a take on an alternate timeline to the one thus presented.
And alternate Alternity, if you will.

StarFire_MK2:
Cheesy story-line, even for Binaltech.
Nachtsider:
His power is MAXIMUM.

I'm talking about taking the figures - which are perfectly serviceable for use in and of themselves - and constructing a rather more muted, and reasonable, back story and set of bios for them.
It would be a shame to waste them on just the one dodgy timeline...
rob_charb:
*reads bio...looks up at Alternity Convoy...*
Are...are you...God?
Seriously, that's some weirdness right there, even for Japan.
My Alternity Convoy is just going to be a variant Convoy design, nothing more, nothing less.
Oh and woo-hoo for the Race-Track-of-Ultimate-Power!!
...and since when do sports cars move faster than, oh, let's say...a freaking jet?
TCracker:
Must......get......all......Alternity.....line....of toys!

shroobmaster:
Was it really hard to just write "HE'S OPTIMUS PRIME WITH NEW BODY F*** YEAH!"?
solitudinal:
Thanks for the translation!  It's nice to know what's being said on the whole wall of Japanese text.
Devastattor:
Mmmmm, Alternity Convoy, turning the inter-dimensional, mega-awesome power dial up to 11.
Jarodimus:
What does God need with a racetrack? [/Kirk]
Also, Canada is part of North America, folks.

APV'd better get himself to Detroit (or Cybertron) if he wants to make it into an episode of the show.
Anywho, for all I know, TakaraTomy really did mean the Vancouver in Washington.
Eric:
So, we're getting a Convoy that's basically a lovechild of Doctor Who and God?
...Eh, whatever. Could be worse. We could get a bio for Alternity Megatron saying he's Satan, a Dalek, and a Cyberman rolled into one.

Mr. Sparklebot:
Um, interesting story (though I don't know how those parallel worlds feel about being "straddled" by giant robots ). Being god-like means that you turn into a Nissan, apparently  .
Vangelus:
So any predictions on what Megatron will have up his sleeve to possibly present a threat to this?
I think his swords are going to be made of folded imploding time.
ROY BOT:
I just read the ENTIRE thing, yes it was a painful feat....what a bunch of random crap. I think I like this thing less now.
Pravus Prime: Quote:

ROY BOT: Quote:

chaoseffect:
Maybe we can take a couple of hits, listen to some PINK FLOYD and see if this story makes more sense.
At least the toy is cool.
I mean, what's story with Transformers anyway? Anyone see that Micheal Bay film? That film makes the endued Alternity storyline seem epic.
juise:
I didn't know the Japanese did LSD!
thygriever:
wow sounds like a crazy fan fiction.. but still cool LightningZERO:

Wait wait wait.....So Optimus becomes a God like cybertronian and contacts himself in the past??? Am I getting this right?
Well there goes the space time "spam" continuum. Even for a hardcore anime fan such as myself this is a bit much.
And WTF is up with straddling planets? I wonder which country got the balls end of that deal?
Waverider:
I bet Drift can kick Alternity Convoy's butt. Digilaut:
I don't know what they have been smoking at Takara maybe I don't even want to know...
