Only one I can think of is BT Lambor/Alt Sideswipe in that the alt version has an added "dirt wash" paint app on his chest piece above his symbol while the BT version does not. Also the a part of the back of the head on the Alt Version is red where as on the BT the whole head is black

Don't forget Silverstreak and Meister with the side-swapped Steering wheels.

OK, thanks guys.

BINALTECH vs ALTERNATORS

 

I have all the Binaltechs so far. So I decided to pick up a Hasbro Alternators Meister to kitbash into a Jazz from Reprolabels.com. God forbid I kitbash a $60

Takara Alt, so I went with the Alt.

 

I was expecting all plasic and no diecast... but there are other differences.

i.e. the rear view mirrors are not painted white, they also have no reflective mirrors on them. The front wheels on the Alt. version have no magnets that move both wheels when turned, just plasic tabs.

Just Cheap Cheap Crap!

 

Maybe it just me but when I was growing up cars were made of steal. Not plastic like some junky Saturn or Kia.

 

TAKARA = toys that appreciate over time.

Hasbro = Cheap worthless garbage good for bashin'

Wow, that's a cool kitbash job! I wish I were that talented...

 

BTW, I agree 100% on your opinion of Binaltech vs. Alt. I'm just at an age where if I have a choice, I'll take something that's better quality and I can afford to spend a little more.

You make a good point but two things people forget.

1. Alt are way cheaper :)

2. They may be diecast but over time that color wears off, chips, and fades.

I acknowledge that not everyone can afford the BTs (yet some can easily get a Predaking reissue, go figure) and that's cool but as for the diecast, if you take care of it and not beat the hell out of it, it ain't going to crap at all. I don't know, that's just my take on it.

Aren't that just the labels from Reprolabels?

It's also just the picture taken from their site.
