    Out of all of this news the thing I am looking forward to most is how they will work Bumblebee into the Alternity storyline. :inquisiti

    What storyline? You mean the "he will shoot you before you are born" story stuff that Convoy and Megatron got?

    I'm waiting for more Subaru TF's. Just like tits in zombie movies, you can't have too many!

    Hmmm, not entirely sold on Alternity BB...as others have said, I'd like to see clearer pix first before I reach for the wallet. Rumble/Frenzy, on the other hand.... :D

    I'm surprised to see Alternity continuing, I had considered it the "Nissan Label" line but it's good to see that Takara has more planned then that.

    Not keen on BB tho, if I passe don the cool looking Prime and Megs then I'll have no trouble passing on this.

    Why, Takara, why? First the horrible Mickey Mouse Optimus Prime, then the even more horrible Halloween Version of the aforementioned figure, and now THIS?


    Congratulations, Takara. You have just stooped to a new low.


    The Alternity Bumblebee and the cassettes are a good thing though. I think I might get the cassettes.


    Oh, right. I need Soundwave first.

    I didn't know it could get lower than penis-tongued monster cars chasing after prepubescent girls who make out with Optimus Prime.

    Cool, cassettes are deffo bought.

    Then I only need Wheeljack and Reflector to complete 1984. I'm just gonna have to wish and wish and wish for reissues of those as well, as the KO minefield of those two on ebay is putting me right off dropping big money for them.

    This makes me think the next mp would be Soundwave. Takara is milking to the max these G1 toys. . . . Given that less ppl will have the tendency to buy the G1 if the MP Soundwave and cassettes come out first.

    bumblebee Swift Suzuki is a very nice touch. But the shoulders turn me off.

    Alternity Bumblebee I'm not so sure about.
    Will need clearer pictures to decide.

    The Cassette reissue, however, is excellent news and I will probably grab them.
    Although I have originals of these molds I might off-load them along with a few others to make way for shiny new ones.

    Hope they continue reissuing the cassettes, with the next set will being Grand Slam and Raindance vs Beastbox and Squawktalk and eventually getting round to reissuing the Japanese dino cassettes.

    I'm miffed that I have to buy another Laserbeak to get Frenzy, Rumble and Overkill, but... I know I'm going to do it anyway, so why complain?

    Alternity Bumblebee... that's pretty garbage. I hope the real thing looks nothing like it.

    Well, if Red Bumblebee doesn't come with Cliffjumpers head we can guarantee that add-on companies will be falling over themselves to make one.

    I actually think the image would look better without the Now Products... label sat across where his waist should be. If the legs go all the way up to under where the bonnet sits then it won't look so bad... Would look better if the bonnet had folded under the windscreen rather than over though.

    Do the previous Alternity's have faction logo's?
