Let me know if they make a red and blue Smokescreen...

 

if its a ball jointed head like classics prowl all you would need is a sticker sheet and boom one super awesome Smokie

I'd rather display them with the other Alts, meaning I'd rather them scale with the other Alts, but I'll live. I'll just have to invest in a new shelf.

 

At least this gives them a second chance to get things right. ie more logical characters and whatnot. Heck, this could even end up being an uber-detailed version of the Classics line (I wish).

Wake me when they make plastic versions.

Unfortunately, Convoy as a Nissan sportscar is probably the first torpedo into the side of that ship...

 

:07laugh

 

PS: called it on the 1/32 scale

that sports car has officially spanked the 911 turbo and the ZR-1 before its even hit the roads so I'm not fussed about that and hell this isn't the first prime as a car

 

also finally the RiD car bro's will finally have a new friend

True 'dat, but I was thinking more like "the best characters" vs "the best alt modes." Hopefully I won't have to go to tfu.info or wikipedia to find out who the figures are supposed to be this time around.

I actually don't have a problem with Prime as a car, either - I was just commenting on that if one was hoping Tomy doesn't make weird character/car choices in this line, I wouldn't have high hopes if this is where they've chosen to start...

 

What's funny is it looks like they've negotiated their first license for this line with the car that "should" be Smokes/Streak, but I guess Tomy decided they couldn't start out their second officially-licensed car line with the same characters. If they had to make Prime a car (due to the whole, "nobody in Japan drives a truck" thing), they should have used Toyota's (Lexus) flagship sedan or something.

 

EDIT: oops, just saw sertile's post. Hopefully they'll use good characters. It's hard to say how much the BT/Alt partnership with Hasbro hindered character choice - I get the feeling that the "blame" lies a bit with each party (i.e. sometimes it was Takara's fault, and sometimes Hasbro's).

I'd prefer it if Hasbro released these. I might order them if I like what I see when we get pictures of the final product.

Heh, I just realized that since MP/20th Optimus is ~1:28 scale that displaying him with the Alternity's is about the same level of "out-of-scaleness" as displaying him with the BT/Alts.
