Luckily, chocolate digestives.

Lack of pipe guns on his arms sadden me a bit. And the lack of a visor.

Whether or not this is legit, I'm willing to bet they just put the Alts on hold during the movie just like the main line so Paramount couldn't claim any profits from them. The whole thing about auto makers not backing them may have just been a ploy to not come out and say, "We don't want Paramount claiming profits on our Alternators." I suspect every movie year, the mainlines will get put on hold.

I bet this is the SDCC Exclusive.

The box is clearly a fake- the cardboard looks nothing like the cardboard on a real Alternators box.

The Boxart guy confirmed this as legit on the TFW2005 thread.

Really it looks pretty darn close to me:

Here's to hoping this is legit and not some extremely expensive exclusive that i wont be able to get my hands on. Either way i still intend on purchasing the KP ver.

So if this turns legit and u are interested in selling ur misb or mib for a decent enough price holler at me.

I could live with an sdcc exclusive, i'm just hoping it wont be a botcon attendee only...

The material does look about right.
Looking at my Sunstreaker box they look to be the same.
A mock-up packaging maybe?

Who knows..

It just better not be another effin exclusive.
I really, really, REALLY hate exclusives.

What makes a particular country etc better than the others, that it warrants this 'special group' getting a special figure just for them?

I may just claim discrimination against Hasblo etc.

I hope this is real and not an event exclusive.

The UPC on the bottom of the box is a real UPC registered to Hasbro. I can't find anything from Hasbro that currently has that specific UPC so maybe it is real.

by **Wheelies Executioner** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 1:07 pm

I think it looks great. I splashed out on a set from Reprolabels to make my Jazz look more G1-ish, so i would love to own an Alt Hotrod with G1 style markings aswell.
