VF-0S FAN Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 I would like to see Trailbreaker as a BMW X5 and Roadbuster as a Hummer Any suggestions ? Quote
Veifwan Es Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 Let's see... Skids-Lincoln Navigator Cliffhanger-updated Volkswagon Beetle Convertable Prowl-Highway Patrol Corvette (but I guess Tracks would be the 'vette) Windcharger-Mustang Saleen Ironhide- Hummer H2 Quote
Vostok 7 Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 A Skyline GT-R and EVO transformers would be nice. Vostok 7 Quote
Max Jenius Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 StarScream + Friends as an F-22(or 23 even) Quote
Vostok 7 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 StarScream + Friends as an F-22(or 23 even) See, I don't get this. They said there would be no planes in the Binaltech/Alternators line, but they said there would be Deceptecons... So I'm confused. Vostok 7 Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) Megs, Galvatron and Soundwave, they would fit nicely with the Alternators. Edited November 28, 2003 by Hurricane29 Quote
Vostok 7 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Megs, Galvatron and Soundwave, they would fit nicely with the Alternators. Good point. Vostok 7 Quote
Comicbookheros Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 -Prowl............... Nissan Z, would be cool -Soundwave..... mini disk player -Mirage............. any F1 car that's blue, or Indy car -Starscream and the others should still be F-15's -Megatron well I guess since he can't be a gun he could be a tank. Well that's my wish list for now.... Quote
MrDisco Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 i think soundwave as any form of personal A/V equipment is not a great idea. too limiting and the scale is just way off. how about making him into something completely wild like that plane with the big radar thingie on top? (for the TF purists please dont shoot me) Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 No, the only way that Soundwave could be made would be as a casette player, 80's style. It just wouldn't work other wise. What would happen to Condor or Ravage, they couldn't get made. These are all reasons why Soundwave needs the MPC treatment, you don't hear people complaining that Prime is a old model truck no do you. Quote
MrDisco Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 well yes but we're talking about Alternators not the MPC line. i just think having an a/v device the same size as smokescreen is rather silly. i envision this line as being something more then just a rehash of the 80s line. i do agree that ravage (et al) would need to be rethought out.

Hurricane29 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 That is the problem, only some of the Transformers could be made as Alternators, such as the vehicle ones. The other specialty ones, such as Soundwave, Blaster, Megs would all need to be kept as is. Quote
ComicKaze Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Wheeljack as the LeMans Mazda 787B? That's a little too old for an Alternator. Wheeljack has to be a Lancia vehicle. He's clearly italian, not Japanese and rotary powered . In my opinion, Hound SHOULD have been a hummer. The WWII jeep G1 Hound was based on was long enough to give him decent looking legs. This current civilian Jeep TJ or whatever that the new Alternators Hound is made of is too short and Hound ends up for little stick legs. Sideswipe should have been a Diable/Murcialago. Smokescreen should have been a Z. And Skids would be... I guess a CR-V Quote
trueblueeyes Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Well, I am pretty sure we can rule out all cars made and/or licensed by Volkswagen. That includes: -Bentley -Lamborghini -Audi -Skoda -Seat (and the main Volkswagen brand of course) That is if VW is still being their usual paranoid self when it comes to associating their brand with anything that could be even loosely considered a "war-toy". That still leaves a lot of nice vehicles to license for the Binaltech/Alternators line. Wouldn't mind seeing a Porsche myself. (and no, although it has ties to VW-Audi group it is *not* owned by them..so it should stil be fair game to license) I really want to see a Humvee and a Mustang in the line as well! Quote
DestroidsRage Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Hmmm... Seaspray: Big ol' aircraft carrier based Hover-Landing Craft. Beachcomber: Those awesome high speed buggys the Navy Seals use. Warpath: Sisu XA-180 AMOS. Similar to his original appearance, at leasti n the placement of the turret. Finnish built, all around rocking. Very new. http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/pics...s/A_Smaller.jpg http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/pics...cs/amosxa-5.jpg Thats what I think... -BEN-MAN- Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 I don't know about you guys, but I would love to see ironhide and ratchet t.v. accurate toys. Those two are badly in need of a makeover! So those two should be the first things to be done, then I can be happy. Well I guess they don't have to be those old toyota vans. They could be like a honda odyssey or something like that. Quote
Commander McBride Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I'm wondering what Megatron would be.... Mk23 SOCOM , maybe? Although, maybe, to keep in scale, he'd be better off as a self-propelled artillery of some sort, or an MLRS, or something. He'd be big, but that'd be cool. Quote
Zetaplus Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I dunno, someone at 2005boards.com did a pretty nice picture of an Alternators-style Soundwave as a mini-VHS camcorder, with the cassettes as tapes. Quote
GobotFool Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 I dunno, someone at 2005boards.com did a pretty nice picture of an Alternators-style Soundwave as a mini-VHS camcorder, with the cassettes as tapes. care to post that picture here? Quote
joke-machine Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Unless Hasbro changed their mind they already stated that ALL the alternators were going to be cars. Hate to burst your bubble folks, but no jets, no tanks, no camcorders, or anything other than cars. Some of you have asked then how can they have decepticon altinators then? Well what about the stunticons, and what about them constantly throwing common names onto new vehicles (how many versions of Megatron are there, he's been a crocodile, a dragon, a gun, several versions of a tank, a car (G2), etc...)? Soundwave was also a car mold in G2. My thoughts are that they are going to stay true to what they stated in keeping with all cars, but just give some of the cars decepticon names and appropriate color schemes. Quote
