Just a thought for those complaining about it being convoy. Why not just buy the silver one and call him classics camshaft?

Man oh man, to good to be true. Alot of people where I work re interested in this. not because its transformers, but because a high end nissan vehicle will be a famous transformer.
I'm taking a stab that the interior will mimic the black leather of the gtr....seeing how there are only two interior choices, black or greyish white leather.
But I will pick up both variants.

 

Bah. I like that they're a smaller scale, but I hate die-cast figures. If they got released without the die-cast (like what Hasbro did with the Alternators) then I'd be all over these guys. But Hasbro has too much of their own stuff coming out, and there's no way Takara Tomy is going to put out plastic versions of these guys too, so it's pretty much a lost cause.
Oh well; I'd still be more interested in Animated, Universe/Classics, and the movie stuff anyways.

 

and pre-ordered......... what can i say? convoy does sell

 

AWESOME. I finally give a damn about an Alternator/Binaltech. Small is what they should have been to begin with. Alternity sounds so promising now.

 

hmmmmm, I like the larger scale of the BT line, it seems like they made better transformations with the larger scale. I hope these won't be simplified because of the scale. and has it been confirmed yet which robot mode turns into the GTR? the one on display at the show in person, or the one pictured with BB. I personally want the one pictured on display at the show, it's no where near as blocky as the one pictured with BB

 

Bummer bout the size thing....but they cant please everyone can they?...

Congrats for you guys that like him/them  

 

So many people happy at the smaller scale and angry at die-cast... I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, here.  

One of the really neat things about the BTs/Alts were their complexity, and I'll be impressed if that complexity manages to make it to the smaller scale, but I have a feeling they'll end up fairly simplified. Ah well. Hopefully it'll still look pretty.

 

It would be neat to see these sold sans diecast in the US as deluxe figures in the Universe/25th Anniversary toyline.

I want to see more jets, even if it is in smaller scale than 1/32.

 

Automorph features too? Ugh, this is getting worse and worse.

 

TFormers has more info about Alternity:

 

The automorph gimmick sounds interesting. I'm definently going to have to get the funds to pick this guy up. Thankfully it looks as though they'll be releasing him at or around Christmas time.

 

Automorph gimmicks are always fun, when done correctly they look really cool............ unlike Movie Blackout and his slipped gears. GRRR.

Why? So they can sell very small numbers of them? I would think Hasbro would rather sell these through the big retailers to maximize sales (TFs selling = ultimate good for us). I would prefer plastic at this level of complexity and size. Less paint to scrape off.

 

Agreed. I'll be looking into getting this guy, but I'd love for Hasbro to release this sans the diecast, but if they don't announce anything before this guy comes out I will purchase him.

 

I was intrigued, pre-ordered both! Optimus has not been a car since the Gobot days!

 

Preordered, but if it's announced that Hasbro's gonna release them over here I'll be going that route instead.

 

QFT. 1:28 scale for MP-1,2/20th Prime is the general consensus.

Wow, I leave for a week and this is what happens while I'm gone,   I was pretty excited about the "coming soon" image toted along with the upcoming BTs (my prediction was the Civic *sigh*). Oh well. I really like the design of this bot, but I'm torn on the scale. A part of me wants this toy in the BT line, but the other part of me is glad it's not another $55+ I won't be spending out  

 

I like the scale, It's pretty close to what a lot of deluxe car TFs are. In fact, Concept Camaro Biumblebee/Cliffjumper, and movie Barricade are just about exactly 1/32 scale. (strangely, classic Camaro BB was made to noticeable smaller scale) Not much liking the car they chose, though.

 

Here's hoping that Hasbro releases this one at some point. They could easily, imo, put it into the Universe line, imo. Maybe even for the 25th Ann. part of the line.

 

What video is this?
Did they get a copy of it?
