ALTERNATORS!

[Time Traveller]

Cheeses priced.... at they rate they're going, transformers will have been forgotten by the time BT 20 rolls around..... and yeah, that's a long ways off! i intend to live at least 88 years. so 70 years.
oh, and i'm still struggling to get my hands on even an alternators bluestreak.

Thanks, Savvy, but i was aware of your comments about BumbleBT-11, and that's half of why i asked the question. (The other half being http://transformerland.com/transformers ... ators.html.)

If i understand both reports correctly, your comments and Trance's contradict each other. i suppose i should ask you what i asked him: What's your source?

EDIT: Just hit the above link myself; looks like you were right. (That's not what it said last time i was there...) i'd still like to know, though--what're your sources? Savanna, Trance, anybody?

At any rate, i think i'm glad there won't be a Mini Cooper Alternator. After all, who would it be if not Bumblebee? And Bumblebee is supposed to be a Beetle. (Somewhere an entomologist's head is exploding...)

i thought about putting this on Aanallein's "You know you are easily amused when..." thread, but i sorta think it works better here, especially since TT's last post here refers to it.

Anyhoo... You know you are easily amused when you think about things like this...

Imagine that the Alternators line has not yet been released, and, of the following, only one will be included: the first blue Subaru, the silver Sube, or the second blue one. Imagine now that it falls to you to decide which to release, and whether to name the character Smokescreen, Silverstreak, or Bluestreak. What combination would you choose?

My source eh?

I usually check this page every few days.

Silver WRX, Bluestreak. He is more of a core/classic character than Smokescreen. Unfortunately, Hasbro lost rights to his name, so they use the invented name Silverstreak.

Unfortunately, Hasbro lost rights to his name, so they use the invented name Silverstreak.

At least they stayed witht eh theme and made him Silver, right? Just because they lose the rights, doesn't mean you yourself can't call him what you want.

Quick Update, the S2000 is a reality. A Prototype has been found, and there are plenty of image of the prototype HERE. And for hte Lazy, here a few shots.




Anyone know the head?

[Time Traveller]

i will call him by his *real* name, dammit. and jazz is jazz.


as for the s2000, really hard to say, the eye shield thing reminds me of either A) Jazz/Meister, which has been done, or B) something from the latter years. another converted dinobot perhaps? hard to say. unless they mutilated the face of yet another stunticon. if that's the case, breakdown's my guess.

[Savanna RX-7 GT-X]

I have no clue why the Image is broken, its fine ont eh page. But woudl it help if his gun gave a clue. By the size of the barrel I would say tis a sort of maybe short range sniper rifle.

[Savanna RX-7 GT-X]

Here are some of the guess's I have found on the net that could be the S2000.

Windcharger
Cliffjumper
Overdrive
Blaster

Anyone got any other ideas?

[Savanna RX-7 GT-X]

I am now the owner of a HOUND. Wal Mart had 2 of them, so I picked one up. I may not be a Jeep fan, but I might like this one the most(till the RX-8 out, hehe). I heard many problems with the Takara ones, because of the Die Cast making it heavy, and hard to pose, but the US Hasbro ones have no such problem because of the plastic shell. I even love the smart hiding area for hsi little gun.

[Time Traveller]

You mean... They finally actually got here? woah! I want one! I still haven't even had a shot at a bluestreak.

[Savanna RX-7 GT-X]

Eh, if I see another tommorow(which I doubt) and i am all nice, you can send me money, lmao.

Yeah, you want Hound, I think its the best of the 5 out(Dead End is out, don't forget that). The transformation when I lookd at it first was like, wtf, its gonna break, but then after it was finished, it was f'n easy. I not a Jeep fan like I said, but dam, I love Hound. Even the Hood, were the Autobot Symbol hides I love, lmao, it feels so old school to me.

[Time Traveller]

dead end is out already out? are kidding? argh! norther wisconsin bites rocks!

[Savanna RX-7 GT-X]

Yeah, a few people have said they have one, and Wal Mart lists them as shipped I believe, but out of stock, same as that Bad something toys place.

Edit: Here is some proof that Dead End is out.
