UN Spacy Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Meister is looking real nice i definetly want the white version It's just gorgeous next to Convoy.
zeo-mare Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 very nice do you have any pics of the car mode?
mechatek Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 BigBadToyStore.com has most of the Binals on sale for $44.99. Good time to get that BT you've been waiting for. Check it out.
Deadzone Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Anybody know the official release date of Grimlock in the United States?
GobotFool Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 so far meister has the best robot sculpt, and smoothest transformation of all the BT's. He is without a doubt the best one so far. Also diecast is smartly placed to reduce chipping. The only place I can see potential chipping problems are on the doors and thats only in opening and closing them in car mode.
Renato Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 That shoulder gun came from the 2004 WRX Smokescreen.EDIT: Hmm. That means there are holes for the guns on Meister? And if you have both 2004 Smokescreens.. you can have a Heavy-gun Meister? Take note that while there are holes in Meister's shoulders for the launcher, they are microscopically smaller than the ones on Smokescreen, so the rocket launcher doesn't actually fit perfectly. What's cooler than that is, if you notice his right arm in the photo, I found that you can actually place the handgun on his forearm, in either "stowed away" or "ready to fire" position. A bit like a VF-1.
VF-0S FAN Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 I hope that Swindle will come with the Destron / Decepticon sticker
BoBe-Patt Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 here's the new Grimlock and Swindle! Click on the links for the pix: Grimlock Swindle
Hurricane29 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Nope, they have not been released just yet.
zeo-mare Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 grimlock looks awesome, they may not be out just yet but you can now tell very soon, nice the see the Alternators and stuff are picking up, before there were virtually nothing on the store shelves , it looks like they are now finally stocking the new ones around here with the new intrest and releases. i cannot wait to see what is next after windcharger.
BoBe-Patt Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Here's a pix of grimlock in some Japanese Mag:
GreenGuy42 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Here's a pix of grimlock in some Japanese Mag: I'm sold. I was afriad he'd be a brick, with as big as his legs were... guess not.
wolfx Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Here's a pix of grimlock in some Japanese Mag: I'm sold. I was afriad he'd be a brick, with as big as his legs were... guess not. Same here. Damn! There goes my money.

Damn! There goes my money. hehe, glad you guys like it. Man I just notices something. Did you guys see his feet? It looks like the backseats become is feet! Boy I'd hate to be in the back seat when he transforms!
Solscud007 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Im more concerned with what is in his left hand!!!! Is that a sword? if so then that is jsut awesome!!!!!
eriku Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Damn, grimlock is looking better and better! I just wished I liked the new Mustangs a little better. I don't think they're terrible or anything, but there's just something a little too tame and domesticated about the design. Sort of contradicts the namesake. Anyway, has anyone seen how the sword stores on the underside? It's pretty clever.
BoBe-Patt Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Im more concerned with what is in his left hand!!!! Is that a sword? if so then that is jsut awesome!!!!! you mean his right hand? Yeah, it's been confirmed a while ago that he's coming with a sword.
Hoptimus Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Picked up Alt Meister yesterday. Hot damn is he cool. Much better than Tracks. Dont get me wrong I love Tracks but he is a pain to transform and not very posable. My quib with Meister is that I wish his arms were as posable as Sideswipe/Deadends. Other than that he is by far the nicest one. My favorites though are still the Subaru's
VF-1Guy Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Best of BTs/Alternators According to Matt (I'm bored)... Best Robot Mode - Smokescreen (#1 varient, BT-08?) Best Car Mode - Deadend * Honorable Mention - Meister Best in terms of Fun Factor (transformation, poseabilty, can't-put-it-down-idness) Meister * Honorable Mention - Tracks (the missiles & wrist cannons are fun)
eriku Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I think Hound is still my favorite overall, although Streak and Meister are damn near tied with him. Really the only one I haven't been interested in is the Corvette, in any of it's incarnations. There's just something about the overall aesthetics of the bot mode that doesn't appeal to me.
UN Spacy Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) I like all my Binaltech's but now that I look at it Hound is nearly unposeable. His heavy chest puts quite a strain on the leg joints. So far Meister is my favorite of the bunch, he's such a great homage to Jazz (with a much easier transformation). I can't wait for Grimlock and Windcharger. Edited October 19, 2004 by UN Spacy

So far Meister is my favorite of the bunch, he's such a great homage to Jazz (with a much easier transformation).I can't wait for Grimlock and Windcharger. That's weird... my Hound is my favorite so far and he has no heavy chest problems. I actually like how poseable he is. ~Tico
RichterX Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) Got a blue Tracks from Walmart, it is cool, its robot mode looks a lot more slim than Hound and Sideswipe. Meister is available on both colour in the USA or just white or just red? edited to add: Tracks could have really used ball joints at the feets... Edited October 20, 2004 by RichterX
Guppy Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I know this is about 40 pages out of date, but I finally got BT Sideswipe and did the mod. I agree he looks 10 times better. I was a bit scared when I was cutting out the bit to make the boot swing up more.. I had visions of cutting off the whole thing.

RichterX: So you got a Hasbro ALT tracks?!!!!! awesome cant wait to get him too.
NERV Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 any idea on when alt meister is coming out if he hasnt already? i thought that for some reason the alt was actaully release b4 the bt
Radd Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Alternator's Meister has been out for weeks now. Mine is sitting on my shelf right next to 20th Anniversary Prime and Silverstreek.
NERV Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 i have been to my walmart the last 3 weeks and nothing
Radd Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Keep looking. They tend to dissapear quickly whenever they do get a shipment in.
Valkfan Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 After scanning all 79 pages, I have a question that I couldn't find the answer for. Does anyone know if we can order replacement parts from Takara for Convoy? I'm getting a Hasbro Masterpiece Prime and would like to exchange the circumcised smoke stacks.

I'm getting a Hasbro Masterpiece Prime and would like to exchange the circumcised smoke stacks. best thing for you to do is buy the recasted ones. The guy I talk to still has alike 3 set's left. If you want one let me know I'll ask him if has anymore. The site is down so I can't show you how it looks like. It's really close to the original. It's just not as chromy as the original.

So far just the white Meister/Jazz for the US line. And yes Tracks really does need ball joints on the feet.

RichterX: So you got a Hasbro ALT tracks?!!!!! awesome cant wait to get him too. I had to do shopping at Walmart and went to check the toy section, I wasn't even planning to by any toys cause i am low in cash but I saw Tracks there at the top of the Alternators, it was the only one they had in display at that moment, the rest were something like 3 hounds and 4 Silvertreaks, I still want to get a Silverstreak. As I was saying Tracks looks robot mode looks great, he looks ready to kick some decepticon's butt only problem is leg articulation. Next time I go to Walmart I'll try to pick up a Silverstreak if I don't see a Meister. I am only buying Alternators. Does anyone have a detail guide on the the mod for Sideswipe? Also any one done the Dead End custom repaint to Sunstreaker? I think I saw sometime ago something like smoke stacks extensions for the Hasbro MP Prime. Any one knows where to get it?
