BT Prowl release date?

[Nevermore]

Wow, I thought Takara including that part about Hasbro being "humanitarians" was a compromise to allowing the barrel.

I'm still waiting for confirmation from Ichikawa-san, but according to Doug Dlin, Ichikawa so far has NEVER been asked by any of the car companies to include specific things in his story. So most likely, the "humanitarian" stuff was a tongue-in-cheek on Ichikawa's behalf to make fun of Honda USA's policy rather than an actual request on Honda's behalf.

Anyone else get the feeling that this line (BT/ALT) is over?

4 repaints in a row suggests they're out of ideas anyways.

 

 

 

Maybe movie toys are taking most of their design time...........

It's officially a "radar pistol", or so I've been told.

It would make sense allright - based on what they called Decepticharges weapon...........

On topic prowl is IMO about the single ugliest alternator yet. Looks more like a half assed mega sized go bot than an alternator/binaltech transformer. As for a release of binaltech version i wouldnt be suprised if as many have stated it doesn't exactly pan out.

 

Off topic, decpticharge is being released in Japan according to what the new binaltech collection book is stating, but that he will be a lucky draw item produced with a limited amount and only made available to the people who buy the book.

Really?

Interesting...but makes sense, kinda.

Man, I hate to see my favorite Transformers line die, but compared to the "mass produced" toys they have been going on since 2003. I'm glad I decided to buy two of each one, so I could display one and keep one in the box.

 

I hope Hasbro/Takara doesn't kill the Alternators line, and goes for a full 20 to 25 (the age of Transformers in US). I'd love to see a Dodge Ram based Ironhide, or a Honda Ridgeline based Gears.

 

In fact, here is a short list of the characters I'd love to see make the BT/Alt line, with their respective vehicles. These are the Autobots, no 'Cons mentioned in the list;

 

* - 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab - Ironhide

* - 2005 Dodge Charger - Mirage

* - 2005 Honda Odyssey Minivan - Ratchet

* - 2005 Honda Ridgeline SUT - Gears

* - 2005 Honda Civic Sedan Hybrid - Arcee

* - 2005 Hummer H2 SUT - Brawn (or X-Brawn)

Hmm, damn i dont remember where i read about BT decipticharge being a lucky draw item, i could have swore it was frontpaged on TFormers a week or two back but this is the best i could find mate, and i think you've already seen it, but i hope it helps clear it up.

Calm down.

 

We have no solid confirmation for either option so far, aside form rumors.

 

Why is it whenever someone posts a rumor, clearly labeled AS a rumor, someone will jump forward and scream "WTF HABSOR = TEH SUXX DEATH TO ALL!!!!!!!!1111111111"?

Tongue in cheek response is my assumption. He's quoting good ol Chuck Heston from Planet of the Apes. :)
