promethuem5 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Well..without any other info, it's hard to say... but I wanna say that there was a really well done boxed set going around a year ago or so that people almost thought was a bootleg, but was actually legit and really good to boot.
Skull 0ne Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hey would any of you guys know if this "TRANSFORMERS 20th Anniversary boxset" is legit or a bootleg? Thanks Aaron 328998[/snapback] Oops forgot the Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Limited-Transformers-D...1QQcmdZViewItem
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Just went and got Swerve this evening, and I seen about 5 or 6 Grimlocks, two Swindles, and a Windcharger on the shelf as well. If anyone is having trouble getting these, I can pick one up for you. A trade for a Wheeljack would be killer too.

Greyryder Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Just wanted to show off my latest custom. I don't why everyone bags on Robot Master G1 Convoy's alt mode. Bot mode still looks good, and if anybody is curious; no parts have to be removed for transformation.

For the price and stuff that come with it it's a good buy. It's how I got my RM Prime.

Did you build the trailer from scratch? I've been trying to find a trailer for RM Prime but he's such an odd scale that there doesn't seem to be any existing toys that match up. I've always wondered if they planned on making a trailer for him, too, since he's got that mysterious hole there... ::EDIT:: I just noticed the new tires, that looks really fantastic! Good work!

Greyryder Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks guys. The wheels and trailer are from a 1/64 scale toy truck I got from wal-mart. It was one of those Nascar hauler rigs. I'd like to find a proper box trailer for him. I had to put in a smaller pin, and move it closer to the front of the trailer. The trailer still needs a couple more coats of silver, then I'm going to do the striping in blue. The original wheels I took off of Prime are going to be used for a scratch built Roller.

Black Valkyrie Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) The Star Wars Transformers line has been confirmed at BotCon today. Edited September 24, 2005 by Black Valkyrie
VF-0S FAN Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Damn, Hasbro and Takara will release a binaltech/alternator Optimus Prime as a Dodge Ram SRT 10 . As a completist I will buy him but will also let him in vehicle mode cause the leader is Masterpiece Prime... However the good new is that Mirage will be a Ford GT ( not the mustang like Grimlock and Wheeljack ). Pics at transformers.com and transformers related sites
zeo-mare Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) i just saw him, i can say that i would rather have the MP Prime on display as the leader, this new Binaltech one does nothing for me, he looks fairly easy to transform though. i could not find pics of Mirage do you have them? chris Edited September 24, 2005 by zeo-mare
Greyryder Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Alt Prime is also in scale with the other ALternators (20th Prime is a1/28 scale) and actually looks like a real vehicle. No cab over tractor ever looked like 20th Prime, and I'm not just talking about minor details to aoid liscensing fees. Unfortunately Alt Primes bot mode looks like crap. I'm hoping it's misstranformed, but I'm not thrilled with the idea of him being a street truck. I still think he should have been a dually, with standard suspension hieght. Maybe I'll be able to mod his bot mode to look like something.

Radd Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Prime looks like crap. Mirage looks sweet, though.
Black Valkyrie Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 To bad about binaltech/alternator Convoy UGLY ! MOST UGLY ! http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=8&itemid=7937
eriku Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 My god...those TF/SW things are an embarassment. I guess the Jedi Starfighter one looks OK, but the rest are just laughable. Alt Prime is by far the least striking Alt so far. I hate street trucks, I hate his bot mode and I hate the fact that he apparently has seats hanging off his arms. The head looks nice though... And I suppose there is still a chance he is horribly mis-transformed, but I can't see many other alternatives to that design other than the waist being reversed. Goddamn, I have to take a shower after looking at those SW Transformers, they make me feel all dirty.
BoBe-Patt Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 sigh, why did they go and downgrade prime like that? only hasbro.....
Axelay Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 For as much of a Star Wars toy collector as I am, I do not care for the Transformers in the least. And Optimus Prime as a pickup truck? WTH? BAD call, Takara/whatever you're called now. It's really fugly, too. I'd vote it as the worst looking Binaltech in the line so far. However... Mirage as a Ford GT? Oh HELL yes. Now that just makes me all kinds of giddy. I've wanted to see a GT ever since I knew Ford had agreed on the Transformers license. Although not an F-1 racer as many had hoped, I'm still thrilled that Mirage is on the way.
obakesan Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Transformers The Movie Reconstructed Was just browsing around HMV (UK) today and found this on the shelves: Transformers Movie Reconstructed Looks the long awaited wide screen edition of the Transformers Movie (animated) with special extras, etc. Cheers,
Doctor Reggae Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Looks like the next line after Cybertron will be an updated G1 line, with a gun Megatron again after all these years. http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=5765 Any thoughts/hopes?
promethuem5 Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Alt Prime is atrocius! What a let down.... Mirage looks decent tho... I'm still not sure about Primus... and the Star Wars TFs are embarrassing beyond words.... I'm gonna go fondle my MPC COnvoy in grief for the look of the new releases...
Renato Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Cool, I hope to be getting that new TFTM movie DVD soon, since I only have the VHS version. The box art sucks, though -- I've always hated that one. The UK movie cover was always infinitely better, some Japanese guy did it. The original printing of the DVD version had it... How comes they can't re-use it? Oh, and for the record -- Prime sucks (looks like a bootleg), and so do the Star Wars thingies. I heard the only reason they decided to make the SRT10 into Prime is 'cos pickup trucks don't really exist in Japan, but if they market it as Convoy, the Japanese will buy it. Yeah, not if it looks like THAT, Takara.
eugimon Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 wow... I'm so disappointed in alt prime.. after MPC prime I was really hoping for something great.. but this is meh. here's hoping that those alt jets are decent. oh well.... at least there's the 1/60 vf-0 to look forward to. muhahahah

Found this Transformers Movie Reconstructed DVD Review and the results, sadly, dont seem to favourable.... also, the Star Wars things are a disappointment, why do they always do these characters transform thing? It would of been nicer if the ships transformed into either regular robots or characters from the Transformers line rather than Star Wars characters. look at how fugly the x-Wing looks as Luke? The Jedi Fighter though reminds me a bit of Vector Prime in GF. Edited September 26, 2005 by obakesan
obakesan Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Speaking of Alt Optimus Prime, Hasbro has some pictures on their site: Alternator Optimus Prime Alt Mode Robot Mode The alt mode looks ok and is a change from all the sports cars lately, but not about it being "Optimus". Like MP op for that, or why not just make a 1/24 Semi Truck in scale with the other figures. Also, I wonder if this will be Hasbro only or will it be in the BT line as a Convoy or perhaps some other character in BT. If indeed it is Convoy in BT, how will the story be written that Convoy gets this body.

I think I have to redraw my old designs from the late 80`s and show it to Hasbro Edited September 26, 2005 by Black Valkyrie
Matt Random Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'm in the minority but I like the Alt. Prime. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I had a red Dakota and this is the closest an Alternator will ever come to a vehicle I owned. I'd prefer if Prime had a chrome grill & bumper along with standard suspension. Mirage looks great. The bot mode is quite a bit different than any of the other Alternators. I think the fenders work great as shoulders. The TRU GF Starscream is disappointing. Looks like I need to import if I want one. Primus will be very tempting. A planet Transformer that is an actual sphere appeals to me. It doesn't hurt that a fan of blue/gray color combos. Afte looking at Remy's gallery I have to have Soundwave!

wolfx Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'm not sure if this was posted. This is the next Transformers Hybrid Style line, Optimus Prime himself. Just production sketches...but damn it looks good!
