The 411 on Transformers Alternity!

By News_Staff on Friday, June 20, 2008

Japanese on-line retailer BO-YA has placed product listings with descriptions for TakaraTomy's Transformers Alternity Nissan GT-R Convoy Vibrant Red and Ultimate Silver.

The listings confirm this figure is part of a new series that will be a smaller 1/32 scale model with an auto-transformation mechanism and contain die-cast parts just like the 1/24 scale Binaltech series.

The red color scheme is a homage to Convoy while the silver color scheme is for respects to the car model itself.

Both will be released in Japan in November 2008 retailing at 4,500 Yen (approximately $42 USD).

If they made this guy into Prowl I'd preorder him in a second, especially since I don't plan on getting Universe Prowl (the G1-style deco is too plain; I'll be getting the Bluestreak version instead.) I really like that this new line is going to be 1:32 scale. They'll look a lot be... read more

If Hasbro released him with a Datsun brothers head he'd be the hardest figure to find since Concept Bumblebee...

As I've said before, the mold looks nice but it's utterly wrong for Prime. I hope the line continues and they bring it over to NA in a cheaper, all-plastic form (but keeping the rubber tires) but I won't be buying this figure myself. If they retool him into another character that makes m... read more

This may be possible, they did say at one point they were considering licensed vehicles for the Universe line. I actually have the feeling that the design isn't as complicated as it looks at first glance, especially now knowing that the rear seats are his feets. I'm betting it's about... read more

Indeed, it's more a Gobot redux.

From the schedule posted in the other thread, it looks like they're reserving three months to market this guy - I'm still not convinced that this isn't just a one-off, but it could be part of a slow roll out to see if the concept has viability (although, my impression is that BT started... read more

These may end up wowing me, but I'm not all that thrilled with the size:price ratio. The DIECASTZOMG factor isn't enough to warrant the price premium in my eyes. I'm just glad BBTS has their no-hassle cancel policy.
