They had an interview with hasbro in a recent issue of entertainment weekly and the hasbro rep said that there are consider doing alternators as convention exclusives. I don't know what this means or if it will go anywhere but I thought I would let the forum know about this.

Alternators aren't overpriced enough as it is? I only want to see Hasbro go back to alternators if either they're able to get the VW license to agree to Bumblebee, or they decide to do some new ones based on vintage autos.
But I guess this is good news for some.

I hope so that they can get the line going again. In terms of the VW license issue, good luck to Hasbro. But I would not mind the vintage car idea.

So long as they're new molds and at least availible through HasbroToy Shop, alright, beats no Alts at all.
However if it's more of the same old...

That's my guess.
I can't really see them making any kind of big investment(such as new molds) on anything exclusive. 'Exclusive' usually means some sort of repaint.

Truth is, that's what I would've preferred from the start. Some of the modern cars are pretty nice, but it would've been great to have certain characters retain their original models. That, and I always wish they'd use more variety when it comes to choice of alt modes.

well, didn't they start this trend off already with Rodimus and Nemesis Prime (both as SDCC exclusives)?
