    I don't understand these Alternitys at all. Just another one I won't be buying.

    Stunningly lazy repaints. Not springing for new heads for the last round of Alternity figs (Goldbug and Dai Atlas) was bad enough, but at these inflated prices it's even less forgivable. Heck, even the GDO releases, which cost a fraction of what these do, sprung for new heads and even new weapons.

    Hopefully this will be the end of the disappointing Alternity line.

    I don't understand why Galvatron is all purple. His "samurai skirt" could have looked tremendous with red and white, like the belly on the original character model. Never mind that without the crown it won't look right.

    Banzaitron actually looks tremendous though. If I ever see Alternitys cheap, like at a con or something, him and Dai Atlas are the only ones I have any chance of buying (now that my "Samurai Megatron" itch is being scratched in another fashion). This character is sure getting a lot of love, isn't he?

    Not even new heads Takara? Really?

    Galvatron's ugly and lazy as fuck but Banzaitron looks pretty cool. Mainly because it's Banzaitron, and the mold suits those colors a lot. Don't really like the altmode however, that's an ugly car.

    Weird, I'd have thought that the Megatron mould would have made more sense for Banzaitron, being a Samurai 'n all. That Galvatron looks like pants.

    Galvatron is a hot mess. Who picked that color?

    Banzaitron isn't bad.....and it's a lot more agreeable than trying to pass Seekers off as cars.

    The Orochi Questor mold looks great in black. Too bad they didn't give it to Skywarp, and instead made him a grape-mobile. XD Not sure about all the clownish RiD Dead End-ish colors in bot mode though. Purple Megatron.... is a purple Megatron. Doesn't scream Galvatron to me at all.

    Be interested to see if there is a partswap Skywarp to be made from the original Alternity and this Banzaitron repaint.

    An expensive partswap, for sure. Still, some Radicons must have deep pockets! Do it, someone! :D

    I like the Banzai-Tron, but I don't collect Alternity figures.

    Banzai-tron actually looks really awesome. I haven't been getting these figures, but he'll be tempting me.
