He's going to have a sword? I thought they only showed a funky gun. 8) Which I found out was the sword. #-o

I don't know. Will these "Drag Queens" be "more than meets the eye"? ;)

Oh boy, reading comprehension fail...

It's right on the page..

Each is remold of their previous Alternity Convoy fiigure, and features various racing sponsor logos and a race queen mini figure. These images give us a good look at each figure in both modes, including their remolded weapons. Images mirrored below.


So there's part of the price increase.

Seriously, you guys. This was what I was trying to say was due to the price increase... Not the size. :lol: So thanks, RT, for making me feel sane again. ;)^

And now, I need to determine if I still want to buy Star Saber... Or take my chances by playing the "Generation One Waiting Game." :-?

Easy pass for me the original was a great looking figure IMO but he could not stand up straight for sh#t and by the pics of him slightly leaning forward he looks to have the same issue.

RodimalToyota's right! We need to get back to talking about "Calsonic's" coloration and whether or not we prefer longer or shorter hair on our adorable pack-ins!

Oh, I know what you meant.

And the cars look okay, but I'm straightening my priorities. I'm more interested in talking about the girls. :x

(MOTUL Race Queen for the win, by the way)

Argument? Huh. Funny way of saying that you dismissed everything you said and ignored. And by 2020 I will have 15 pieces? So what? Every person I have met does not care if I have 1, 10, or even every Japanese piece ever made. They know that I am argumentative and short tempered, but also know that I try my best to respect their views... As I see them as both equals in terms of being both fans and collectors.

And you know what? I never did care about the size of my collection. My collection is based on who I am, what characters matter to me, and the reasons why they are in my collection. I am building my collection for my future children, and for the same reasons why Seibertron himself takes photos for the rest of us. I even said that I never did care about scale, name accuracy (i.e. my "Alternity" pieces), or any of that. All I care about is the series that interest me, the chance to make friends in this field, and more.

If you cannot accept that and need to make one insult after another, your loss. Because in the end, you are not my collection's target audience. 'Nuff said. >:oP

You know what is funny? I was driving myself mad with the decision of getting Maximus because the team he was supposed to represent was sweet. To the point I was on the verge of becoming a fan regardless I had gotten it or not. That, and Saber's represented team is tied to not just aftermarket Nissan parts, but also a Japan exclusive car company.

Oh... And Prime's team is French. I think that is why he had gotten the most obnoxiously alluring Racing Queen. :-?

Come on, this is the best thing ever. New (ish) Alternity? Tiny plastic women? Quit your arguing. You're spoiling the delicious taste of these figures.

Agreed. >:oP

But what shocks me is that nobody realized the reason why they never made a "G1" Arcee figure. It was because "The Rebirth" version was having an affair with an under-aged male. And when asked about it, she replied with a "I just cannot get him out of my head!"

..... :DANCE:

I mean... Diem, who of the two Race Queens do you like? :-?

I like the hair on the Optimus one and the outfit on the Saber one. Just to be difficult.

Fortunately for me, the Optimus one has the hair and outfit I like the best.

Don't have another version of this mold, so pre-ordered Optimus mainly to get that.

Heh. I am still disputing Saber (as I now have a February trip to start planning out) as I like his queen a bit more. But there is something about Optimus' queen that I like. :-?

So I decree that they need to have a story where the two have a pillow fight while their Autobot partners race. :michaelbay:

It's always surprising how substantial the crossover is between robot fans and tiny plastic lady fans.

I can't wait to get me some more plastic ladies.

As a Racing enthusiast and Ex-Autocrosser, I am in love with this line.
Never would I thought I could have Super GT/LM transformers that were paint accurate.

I trully hope the Japanese people like the line, as it means more repaints, and hopefully a new mold of another manufactorer.

Castrol Supra? Wheeljack?
yes please!

100% agreed! Because I am hoping they will go beyond the Supreme Commanders with this line. It would be a tad bit boring if all the teams used chose such. :WHISTLE:

Courtesy of site sponsor TFsource we have color images of Takara Tomy's ucpoming Supert GT Optimus Prime and Star Saber in their race car modes. Each is a remold of the Alternity Covoy mold that features sponsor logos and new race inspired weapons. Check out the images below. The figures can be pre-ordered from TFsource at the following links:

Transformers X - Super GT1 - GTR Optimus Prime

Transformers X - Super GT2 - GTR Saber
