Planet Iacon and Autobase Aichi bring us word of a possible new series of figures from Takara Tomy. The first figure is a retooled version of Alternity Convoy dubbed Super GT Optimus Prime, however this figure does not appear to be part of the existing Alternity continuity. As previously stated, Super GT Optimus Prime is a repaint/retool of Alternity Convoy featuring a sponsor logos and a new rear spoiler. Check out the images mirrored below.

These guys should take a lesson from the main Classics lines and release these guys with a new head as a new character. It'd be a little lame, but if they did that I'd have probably bought this mold by now and added it to my Classics collection.

I'm all over that! Never thought I'd see a GT TF based alt mode!

As much as I hated how they continue to milk the series, I must say the paintjob, added spoiler, sponsor decals are kinda cool. And from the character art it seems he got a facevisor too.

Looks sooooo rice!

Oh god another repa....WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Okay that is impossibly sexy. Bought on sight.

I think that the spoiler is neat, and I'm a bit anxious to see how that transforms in the robot mode.... But seriously.... This line has AMAZING potential, and all the figures look so good sitting there on the shelf, but this is NOT what we need. Seriously. We need new molds. Ironhide. Soundwave. Something. C'mon!!!!!

Guys, it's God Ginrai, Alternity style!

I wonder when it will cease to surprise me that this line is still alive...

Glad to hear the Alternity line is coming back as I really loved the Alternators line (and their scale ).
I have the black Nemesis Prime repaint, Megatron and Bumblebee but clearly scale wasnt a factor when creating them! Bumblebee is massive in comparison!

I would really like to get hold of any one of the Seekers and Cliffjumper but prices tend to be a little high now, most times between £40/£60+!

I can only assume this same mold with extra stickers will be around the £70-£80 mark to the U.K.?

The first Alternity toy to be identified as "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".

This makes me wonder how the fiction will handle this guy. What if he's meant to represent the American iteration of the character and has Gratuitous English phrases put into his dialogue?


Also, can anyone here translate what those images say?
