Member Fenrir of the Seibertron Forums has posted news and info here about Alternator type KOs that will be coming out soon. Word is they are made by the same company who creates the Galaxy Defender line. Check out the pics of this Toyota style figure in robot and vehicle mode.

Well, at least the KO Windcharger has a weapon. :redface

 

I'm sure this will make speedbullit happy.

That's not a Wincharger KO, it's a knock off of Tracks. Look at the legs.

Well:

 

1/ Comepetition is always good. If Hasbro wont give us what we want, maybe THEY will. Many of us might get car models we wanted, or carmodes that we can kitbash into our fave characters, etc.

 

2/ If you paint the Supra in its Castrol racing Colours, what G1 TF does it remind u of? What lame Aalternator is being released soon? All taht is needed is some paint, that Supra and hopefully a head swap (providing the size difference in bot mode isnt too great).

 

3/ Shame they are not the same scale (biut maybe for legal reasons or production probs they couldnt).

 

4/ Cant waait to see what else the little bleeders make next!

 

PS: Here is a castrol Supra:

Could someone digipaint the BOT MODE to tie in with this colour scheme and give it the new Aalternator Wheeljack head...please? Just to see if it COULD look the part?

 

Couild someone else repaint the SUV black and repaint and put on a repainted Alternator Swindle head on to look like Trailbreaker? PLEAASSEE?

 

Someone mentioned that prototypes being leaked. Well, designers have been known to do just taht if their designs get scapped. Many "black market" videogames were "release" that way.

 

Take for example "Thriller Killer". Iits was a PS1 game originally and the characters were all sick twisted psychos. Oone female character, in bondage gear, had an orgasm while she did a "fatality"involving ramming her stilleto heels into a downed oponent.

 

Well, the game never made an official release as the studio was bought up by those lovely folks at Electronic Arts.

 

Ratther than risk it, EA ordered the desigen team to completely overhaul the entire (FINISHED) game into "WuTang", which was a fighting game too.

 

So, one or two disgruntled employees leaked the entire game and source code onto the internet. Tthis does happen. An associate of mine used to work for Probe, creators of the Alien Trilogy and Die Hhard Trilogy amongst others (Probe were based in East Croydon, Uk, over the road from my art college).

 

Anyway, Ii NEVER had to pay fro beta test and full copied games from Probe..and the guy giving me them was their main artist/anaimator! Ho ho.

Since these "KOs" are 1:18 and the Alts are 1:24, simply head swapping wouldn't fit to scale.

that landrover just screems megatron to me (minus the head sculpt)

Since this thread has been resurrected... *throws out a couple of pennies* I wouldn't mind cheap 1:18 scale TF knockoffs... 1:18 scale plays well with GI Joe. :tfdance
