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).

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. (link) (and Megatron would work as a silver car; (link) sorta. ) Anyhow, I hope Hasbro'll slip this and any other new molds related to it under the Universe banner. |

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 |
