evry1 getting spoiled...IMO,you cant just put out every top notch mold right away. that would kill the line. where would they go next. business wise, i believe hastak IS stretching out releases and new molds to "keep us on the edge of our seats" sort a speak. hastak will probably shock all of us sooner than later...

 

..i hope

I like Alternators up til somewhere around Ravage-Windcharger-Wheeljack.

I for the most part, buy Alternators simply for the Characters and how they relate to being those characters. I don't buy them if they look cool, I don't buy them if they are amazingly articulated or anything like that. I buy them simply for the characters I like.

 

I'm skipping Ravage simply because I don't like the design for Ravage, while I like Ravage as a character...it isn't really Ravage to me, so I'm skipping.

Windcharger...won't get it cause I'm not a big fan of Windcharger and I don't like how it looks nothing like Windcharger and yet they persist in calling it WIndcharger.

Wheeljack...I'll probably get even though he doesn't capture much in the Wheeljack Dept. But I like his color scheme and his head definitely grips me enough to get him.

 

I may have jsut obliterated my own points here...but what I'm saying is evne though I think the Windcharger Alt. is cool in design and look, it ain't really Windcharger and it's not really a character I care for enough to buy.

I'll pick up any and all alternators if I could find any beyond Dead End.

 

 

Could someone post an online dealer that's very reliable and fair priced that stocks most if not all of these characters? I'm so jealous of the rest of yous that I might just order them all at once to catch up.

I've used BigBadToystore.com several times and have had nothing but great reliable service. It's always been quick and effective.

Wheeljack, Shockblast, Swerve, and Dragstrip don't show any signs of remolding.

You need to look more closely then. All of them (except Swerve, who's still an unknown) are remolds.

Their heads are completely new...

 

Shockblast has new hubs, spoiler, and front end.

Drag Strip has new hubs, roof and more.

 

OM is very much right on this.

Well I meant aside from the heads... but thanx for pointing out the changes on them.

The point that everybody (but Madhammer) seems to skip over is that the Alt line should be concentrating on the best, most "important" characters...IMO...the original bots that came off the Ark...

 

so far...

Jazz

Hound

Sideswipe

Silver/Bluestreak

Wheeljack (reused body, but it fits him more than Grim, at least to me :tftongue)

 

remaining...

Cliffjumper

Bumblebee

Sunstreaker

Trailbreaker

Ironhide

Ratchet

Brawn

Prowl

Mirage

Windcharger (for real)

Gears

(I know I'm forgetting somebody)

 

...then season 2 bots, then 3, then we'll talk after that.

 

But Swerve, Overdrive, Dragstrip (that entire mold feels like a waste)? C'mon!

 

Like most, I buy for the character. And the first Ark bots deserve the "upgrade" first.

Why should it be about upgrading the already well-known characters? Why not give the lesser lights a chance to shine?

 

*waiting for ALT Cosmos made from a Toyota Echo hatchback*

All this has got me wondering, would the Autobots even CARE if Swerve had the cosmic rust? I mean, I wouldn't... I'm sure they'd want to do something for him, being nice guys and all, but there can only be so many Alt bodies to go around. Wouldn't they want to save them for the higher-ups?
