areaseven Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Mirage always has been, and always will be, an open-wheel racer. Hopefully, he'll be an F1 and not an Indy or Chump Car. Candidate #1: BMW WilliamsF1 (Juan Pablo Montoya/Ralf Schumacher)

Radd Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Mirage always has been, and always will be, an open-wheel racer. Hopefully, he'll be an F1 and not an Indy or Chump Car. Agreed. Completely.
VF-0S FAN Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Not bad the RX-8. Here's a pic from Las Vegas where I was last week
trueblueeyes Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Could you make the pic a little bigger? Not quite enough to crash my poor computer and dial-up connection! J/K All kidding aside VF-0S, the pic is appreciated but please remember us unfortunate MW'ers with dial up connections and keep the pics a bit smaller! Thanks, Melissa
trueblueeyes Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 And does anyone know for sure when and in which order we are getting the next Binaltech releases. (Meister, Tracks, Dead End) Several places list Meister as next in line, but I am wondering since we have only seen unpainted protos of him but we have seen fully colored prototypes of Dead End and Tracks. And while I am wondering: Will we get two Binaltech releases at the same time again or just one? Getting Hound and Streak together has spoiled me! Of course, that could be contributed to Streak just being a slightly modified and re-painted Smokescreen. What think?

The funny this is that we saw Meister long before Tracks and Dead End and yet he comes months after them. Retooling?

The funny this is that we saw Meister long before Tracks and Dead End and yet he comes months after them. Retooling? We did? Your sure about that milkman? I could've sworn we saw the protos of Tracks and Dead End long before we ever saw a real prototype of Meister. (other than the animated mock-up that is) Are you referring to the mock-up? Which when you think about it seems *very* close to how the final toy will look.
gerwalk25 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 FYI Guys, Toys R'us has a sale on Alternators and Energon Mega figures for $15us as part of their pre-Summer sale. Too bad the reissue G1's aren't
muswp1 Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Ok, it's official. Silverstreak is out in the US... Alt Silverstreak auction My guess is it'll be next week or weekend before the usual stores start getting them. EDIT: Joel at BBTS now lists Silverstreak as in stock. Edited May 21, 2004 by muswp1
UN Spacy Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Sorry to go kinda OT but here a more RobotMaster Convoy pics.
UN Spacy Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 BTW....these pics were borrowed from. http://www.fantofan.jp/
UN Spacy Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 ...and one more of UPCOMING BT-05 Dead End. Why is the Destron symbol yellow?
Anubis Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Dead End looks so badass. Also, BBTS has Alternator Silverstreak in stock. Can't be much longer until it spreads.
Greyryder Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 The more I see of Robot master Prime, the more I want him. This is the toy we needed in the 80s.
Californium Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Dead end looks better without the red glass. Just the same, I'd rather he didn't have Sunstreaker's head.
zeo-mare Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 does anyone know about this from Image Anime it sounds like some sort of special edition for smokescreen they have no pics has anyone seen it? http://matrixcollectibles.site.yahoo.com/bt07.html

They're updateing him to look like the 2004 WRX rally car. Basicaly just a minor repaint, but it should have a new roof and front fascia.
Solscud007 Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 I think, Like no. 8 is Makinen's car. On my ChoroQ the hood says "Makinen" rather than "Subaru" like Solberg's car. So maybe is that.
Chuey Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 Dead End looks so badass.Also, BBTS has Alternator Silverstreak in stock. Can't be much longer until it spreads. Seeing a close-up of Dead End's head, it kind of reminds of Sunstreaker.
Jinnai Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 I think, Like no. 8 is Makinen's car. On my ChoroQ the hood says "Makinen" rather than "Subaru" like Solberg's car. So maybe is that. Makinen retired from WRC at the end of last year, so chances are pretty high that this car will just be Solberg, and therefore (slightly) reduce the collectibility of Monte Carlo 2003 car No.7 Smokescreen from last year. Then again, I think Solberg was running car no.1 at this years Monte Carlo.. so it's interesting to see.
FlyingPika Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Has any1 noticed the steering wheel on smokescreen is on the other side to silver streak? And i dying to see pics of the repaint of hound..... And since theres gonna be a 2004 edition of smokescreen, i hope this doesnt mean theres gonna be 3 repaints of each bot, i barely keeping up as it is. need some newsss

And since theres gonna be a 2004 edition of smokescreen, i hope this doesnt mean theres gonna be 3 repaints of each bot, i barely keeping up as it is. need some newsss repaint of hound? The jeep cherokee? Only repaint of hound that I heard of is the G1 repaint of the reissue that's coming out. It's the exclusive e-hobby collector's edition Hound desert repaint (also known as "Junkion Mercenary Detritus") If this is not what you are talking about then please let us know what it is. Thanx Here's the link to the picture and pre order: Hound repaint
Solscud007 Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Has any1 noticed the steering wheel on smokescreen is on the other side to silver streak? Thats cause Silverstreak is a JDM car. The smoke screen car is a european car. (Only England, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia/New Zealand drive on the right hand side) At least that I know if.
flyboy Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Thats cause Silverstreak is a JDM car. The smoke screen car is a european car. (Only England, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia/New Zealand drive on the right hand side) At least that I know if. Actually, Smokescreen is also a Japanese-produced car, since all WRX's are made in Japan. The WRC car that he's based on is left-hand-drive. It's interesting that despite the fact that the Subarus, Mitubishis, and Fords are all prepped by various race shops in England, they're all LHD. I think it's because most of the countries that WRC events are held in drive on the "correct" side. Felix
Hurricane29 Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 (edited) repaint of hound? The jeep cherokee Hound is actually a jeep wrangler. Edited May 26, 2004 by Hurricane29

GobotFool Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Prime just dont look right. He has like this gap at the waist. also his head looks squished
