Prowl, he is real. Dragstrip, he is real. Swerve, he is real. All 3 were at the 05 Toy Fair.

Toy Fair 05 TFs Pages 2 thru 4 you will find the Alternator images.

Even though Swerve is not shown transformed, you could finally see his head if you looked under the clear shelf he was on.

ASM Toy Fair 05 Alt Coverage

There a ton of images in those links, have fun.

Yeah, I saw that the other day too. I was a lot more impressed by the Masterpiece Megatron on the box.

Finally got Windcharger and Swindle today. Windcharger is great, one of the best. Too bad he's sabatoged by a totally lame gun. Can you buy gun barrels on Reprolabels yet?

I saw Ravage, but I can't bring myself to buy another Tracks mold yet, yet alone Ravage, my most hated of the line. I'm already kicking myself for buying Swerve too.
So, in Transformers, Les Claypool is God?

I only need Windcharger and B Ravage. And if you B Ravage bad, what about the 3rd Corvette Swerve.

Swerve

I think Ravage looks better, and I don't like Ravage to much.

And Reprolables has no Windcharger barrel, but Viagara Prime does
and JD productions also does to.

I definetly prefer Swerve, largely due to the head mold. But the thing is, why in the world are they going three times on the Tracks mold? Of all the Alt molds so far, that's by far my least favorite, largely due to lack of leg articulation.

I saw, but paying twice the price for just the barrel I think is to much. You coudl buy the Alt version, and more than 1 or 2 barrels for a JP version.

Guess what, I am still searching for Battle Ravage and Windcharger Alternators, and Shockblast has already been seen in the US. That means I still have 3 to seach for.

Yeah, that name does not fit at all. Dragstrip was the best naming for it.

Here is a Custom ALt a person did. It is Bludgeon.

Alt Bludgeon Custom

I find it strange how high the price is considering I only see a paint job and a headchange, and symbols of course. The Mirage Custom was much better I think.

Here is another custom. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5964072605 It appears that all it is, is a repaint. Nice paintjob though.

Got my Windcharger and B Ravage, and dam I love them. B Ravage better than I though, but I also have it so his Missles are in the back, not facing foward. Just need a Repro barrel for Windcharger now.

If anyone wants to see Decepticharge images, here you go.

http://thefriendsociety.com/seanandjohn/dcharge1.jpg

I left the link seeable, since there 15 images, just change the number from 1 thru 15.


EDIT: Just did this a few minutes ago, what you think.

I have some plans for him, which I hope to talk to TT about since he helped with my other project, that just needs paint now.

For those that don't know who Remy is, he runs a TF site, one of the better ones out there, gets some great images on his site, but he has now, is beyond cool.

Binaltech Collectors Guide

May not sound like much, but has concept work, like Jazz might had been a Porsche at one time, and there is a full Bumblebee design as a VW Bug.

Looks like Swerve will be a Normal release, not like a store excusive or anything, as he appears in the Hasbro 05 Fall Catalog.

TT, this might piss you off. VW and Porshce are intrested in getting there cars in the TF movie. But this also goes agianst there No War Like ideas. Bumble Bee could still come out as a VW ALt this means.
