    I so wanted this before he was canceled the first time... back when I was more addicted to collecting now I'm on the fence he does look a lot better than the Alt version since he is painted...

    I've been trying to just stick with collecting Classic/Universe to fill my fix...

    hmm what to do LOL

    This one makes the alternator look like a knock-off.

    I wouldn't have any hesitation if they did the leg mod to the mold from the factory. But damn he does look nice with all that paint and metal :)

    I wonder if they continue with the binaltech line if Hasbro will eventually come back on board and restart some more Alternators. I'm doubting if the Alternity line will come over to Hasbro, so,

    You beat me to it, bud. :thumb 

    QFT. However, I don't think TakaraTomy's "test" did as well as they had hoped. Now keep in mind that remark is sans discussion of the "test" for Binal Tech itself :) lol). It just seems to me that a "relaunch" of the BT line isn't going to happen. However, I've been wrong before and will be again in the future too.

    No Kiss Players anything. That's a good thing.

    . . . though I have to say that the surfboard/blade is really cool though. :) 

    And the red plastic didn't? That to me is one of the marks of fail with the Alt line (the red plastic on Side Swipe, Windcharger, and Optimus Prime). I won't start on distribution though . . . .

    You know, I've done the leg mod, and I have to say that I like the legs done both ways. I like how stocky the mold looks with no modification and I like how the leg mod makes it look a bit taller and slimmer. To me, it's win either way. :) 

    * * * * *

    I have to say I'm surprised no one has commented on how well the box looks. Takara nor TakaraTomy had a box made for this mold. The box would have to be a tad bigger just to contain him. I was a bit fearful that they were going to go all BT-17 on us and give us one fishbowl package. I'm really glad they didn't.

    Same here I did the leg mod to my alt Prime and I like displaying him either way, but I just like having him taller than my other alts. I have no problems doing the mod I just hate to cut into a $50 plus figure :)

    True that...but I'm thinking the parts in question will still be plastic. I remember seeing on the Japanese Image boards long ago people modifying their Die-cast Black Convoys :)

    The inner leg portion may be, but the outer leg is the fender (which is diecast).

    Impossible =/= not fun :lol

    I have this and City Commander pre-orderd already. Now I need to get BTs 19, 20 and 21. I am disappointed at the lack of a collector bio card. I also prefer Kiss Convoy's "yellow eyed" homage to G-1 prime.

    No, the inner part of the lower leg is die-cast. The BT Convoy mold has a metric crapton of metal.
