likewise

What's the Nissan deal? I haven't heard of that yet.


Old, you'd get a copy of GT4 Prologue with Nissan only cars when taking a testdrive (GT4 is from, 2004? 2005?) that's some €20~ish value right there for taking a testdrive.

Now. .on the Alternators.. at least a Megatron should still be doable right?

An Escalade?

Heck .. maybe even as a Skids retool

Another new mold, a Cadillac XLR, was also planned. According to Hasbro at BotCon 2006, the toy would have been Megatron, but when it was decided to put the Alternators line on an indefinite hiatus, the Cadillac Megatron plans never went beyond the early planning stages.


I just like my Megatrons a bit more badass..

I never knew about this. It's sad this new mold never make it.

A Cadillac XLR will be a dandy new toy. Even just for the car mode.

There were hints of a mustang repaint around the same time as the cadillac rumours. But I'm not sure if hasbro ever decided what character it was going to be?

Well, since Rodimus (Hot Rod) was such a hit at the 2007 SDCC, I think Hasbro will make more. When I was there, a rep did say that the line was not "dead", but on "hold". He said it all depends on how well Rodimus sells. Duh, Rodimus was gone faster than you can say "MEGATRON!". Also, I am sure Hasbro is aware of the prices the Alts are selling for on evilbay, and are cruising boards such as this one. So, I would not be surprised to see an Alt exclusive or two this year.

And if it is a repaint, I hope it will be the Acura RSX, or even the Jaguar. Otherwise, I really would like to see a new mold.

The Mustang mold :shock: It takes longer to transform it than to repaint it. I think a Soundwave alt. would be cool but Animated already has a scion Soundwave so there he goes. The only one I would care to see is Megs and maybe Ironhide but he'll most likely turn out bad
Want List:Armada Skywarp, Cybertron Thunderblast, Energon Dreadwing or Mirage.

Might have more of a chance at getting it via Botocn than a low producation run at general retail.

Besides, bashing Botcon is sooo 2007. :P
