MOULDING

--------

 

- AL-02A is a yellow version of the Sideswipe/Lambor

- AL-03 is an amalgam of silver Impreza WRX and WRC with a silver Smokescreen-mould head, Smokescreen-mould wheels and front splitter/bumper, WRX hood with WRC hood pins and WRC-mould wing mirrors

- AL-04A is a white version of Hound with white Hound-mould head

- AL-09 is a yellow version of Hound with a yellow Hound-mould head, Hound-mould wheels and hubs but with Swindle Wrangler Custom brush guard

 

 

 

PACKAGING

---------

 

These first appeared in the BT-style boxes but were quickly followed by robot-mode display boxes using the Robot Masters format. Both packaging types are available for every release. AL-04A has a completely different colour of packaging and a different design style overall. It could be because it is not really based on any BT/TF character so far, and is the furthest removed from a recogniseable Transformer/Binaltech?

 

 

 

FACTION

-------

 

-AL-02, AL-02A AL-04 and AL-09 have faction symbols. The first three have Cybertron-like symbols and AL-09 has a Destron-like symbol.

 

- AL-03 and AL-04A, the most recent releases, do not have any form of faction symbol anywhere on the toy or packaging, and even the "Jeep" moulding on the white Jeep has been blocked out now.

 

 

That's everything that's seen release so far that I am aware of. The KO of the Smokescreen (AL-01, blue Subaru Impreza WRC) is advertised on the back of some of the boxes, but hasn't been spotted for sale anywhere as yet that I know of. The recent shift towards less blatant copyright infringement may have delayed the release of the sponsor-covered Smokescreen.

i've got the white hound a bit stiff to transform but all in all not bad

i want one of those white hounds :(

So where can we buy these and how much?

White hound is the only one I want.  I've seen some on ebay for about $30.

yes, i know those ko BT...seems $10 in asia? i cant remember

If they made an RX-7 or RX-8 Binaltech KO I might get that but from what I see they don't yet.

How much Diecast do they have?
