At Comic Con Hasbro had a Panel putitng some info out. I only put the info for Alts here, and a little thread for the whole thing.

4 Alternator Redeco versionare planned right now, with 5 Brand New Molds coming.
Hasbro is thinking of putting the harder to find Alts(Tracks, Meister) on there Hasbro Toy Shop Online.
A Alternator Mirage is going to happen.
ANd last but not least, Larger Alts will be produced at a higher Price.

So those hoping for liek a Hummer or somethign might be getting them.

I will pay them NOT to make a hummer. Hummers bite. larger alts i'd like to see might include the porsche cayenne, a dodge truck, but hummers don't do it for me. unless it's a military hummer diesel.

BT Prowl is now out in both forms at a few places now.

As you can see in the link the box style for BT has changed just a little.

actually, looks good. i like the blue non-squad car mode, but it doesn't fit the character at all. and i could do away with the lightsaber/nightstick.

Click on the following link, you will see a Ebay auction for a one time Swindle turned into a pretty good Inferno if you ask me.

Also someone made a Original Hummer Alt Megatron, I see if I can find it.

Just recently bought my first Alternator. The Exchange on base had a few of them available and I at the time could only afford one of them. So I decided on Sideswipe. Gonna work my way towards getting as many of them as possible. Gotta say though that these things are amazing.

If your gonna try to get them all, look for Tracks, Miester, Shockwave, and Wheeljack now. You could add Swerve to that, but he still shipping.

Right now the only ones you will find in stores that know how to roder and stock right are Grimlock, Swindle, Ravage, Windcharger, Shockwave(small amounts at best), Wheeljack(slighty more than Shockwave), and Swerve(still new and hard to find).

Ebay will be your friend now.

Silver Streak

Post by Silver Streak »

Im a 30 year old G1 fan who had tonnes of TFs in the 80s...
Just cleared out my Folk's attic and found a bunch of my old TFs..
This prompted me to look into the TF world once more and I saw these Alternators on the web and were stunned by their coolness. So today I visited my local Argos and I couldn't resist getting Silver Streak as I loved Blustreak as a kid.... AWESOME stuff... I'm blown away by the resemblance to the G1 character and by how complex and detailed this thing is... The first transformer I have purchased in like 16 yrs and It was so worth the 20 quid.

Whether or not my GF'll understand when she gets home is another matter.. lol

Just some info on the BT S2000 Recolors and such.

BT Wildrider is dead-Reason is that the name was to much like a Bandia Product.

BT Black Widow is real, and appears it will show up in the Asterick lin as a BT.

The BT Recolors are not like the Hasbro Decepticharge because the Takara side thought it not to be as "realist" as they wanted, yet if you take all the decals off are Decepticharge, he is simply a Mugen S2000.
