    in response to Omegus Prime:

    a silver version would make an excellent Motormaster - even the high shoulders resemble the toy.

    I'd prefer Trailbreaker though, but a straight black may make the vehicle look dull

    I'd love to see the black repaint be Trailbreaker. Maybe for the 3rd release, they could put a tow-rig on the back to make Hoist.

    Remember, just 'cuz the "first" release of a mold has a factory color-scheme (except for Prowl), that doesn't mean the 2nd or 3rd has to be factory painted (Decepticharge, Dead End, Sunstreaker, Ricochet).

    um, actually, there IS a ram you can get that is white with blue racing stripes... and that would make a good magnus.

    Once again, the repaint should be Bumblebee, named either Rumble Bee or Super Bee:

    It'll be the first Bumblebee big enough to bitch-slap Prime.

    Remold it as a Dodge Ram Daytona, which comes in orange and black and throw a Rodimus head on it.

    BTW anyone know if Alt Optimus comes with a Matrix? He damned well better.

    The current SRT-10 is only avalable in Mineral Gray Metallic, Black and Inferno Red.
    The Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 is available in Patriot Pearl Blue, Alantic Blue Pearl, Mineral Gray metallic, Inferno Red Crystal pearl, Bright White, Flame Red, Bright Silver Metallic, Light Khaki Metallic and Black.

    I've been looking to buy a Ram recently and was checking out options for them. Unfortunatley my wife decided she wanted a more girly car so we had to get a Focus.

    From a Ram, to a Focus!?

    You know that there are aftermarket rear wheel drive conversions for the Focus, and they the engine compartment easily takes a V8? :ev:

    For a repaint, either Magnus, Nemesis Prime or Motormaster, and no one else. It'll fly as a 'Con and Magnus, but Prime is unique and should never share the same body with one of his troops. Otherwise he becomes "just another Autobot." That's just the way it is.

    Thats still in question. There are rumours it will be available but there's also sources saying it's canceled. Only time will tell for certain.

    YouTube (Legacy):
    "Alternator Quality" is extreemly vauge. MP Prime has tons of quality...more than any other TF I'd say. And he also has tons of detail in vehicle mode...so I'm not buying that either.

    I'll buy that he's lacking Alternator-level (or even G1-level) accuracy in vehicle mode, but accuracy is a different thing than detail or quality.

    It just seems wrong to say MP Prime is a lesser toy than an Alt just based on the vehicle mode. MP Prime's robot mode destroys every single Alt. The MP "line" focused on 'bot mode. The Alt line focused on car mode. That's all.

    Takara solicited Ginrai and Black Convoy at higher prices than standard BT/BTA toys respectively.

    So, I guess that could mean bigger boxes.

    Although if Hasbro can sell Alt Prime at 'standard' cost I don't see why Takara can't do likewise.

    Especially if they don't think it will sell so well.

    Meh, it's my wife's car since it was the one I was in the accident with so i doubt she'll let me do anything with it. She was looking at trucks and the Ram/Dakota and the Chevy S-10 Extremes are the only trucks I like, unfortunatley the Ram was mighty big for her and the fact that Dodge has shoddy transmisions made her decide on something a bit more practical. Also, I'm not much for the whole tuner scene, I like my cars to be straight powerhouses.
