The more I see of the Diamond Black version of Alternity Megatron, the more I like it. I remember first seeing the Alternity Convoy and Megatron and I thought they looked nice but didn't give them a second thought. Once I learned of the highly detailed and convincing alt modes, as well as their interesting transformation steps, I was sold. I'm just starting on the Alternators/Binaltech area of my collection and depending how I like my Convoy Super Black and Megatron Blade Silver, I may consider getting the repaints in the future.

Now that i've seen a red Sideswipe, i'm liking the silver more.

Of course if that red is metallic glossy which the pictures and scan wouldn't pick up ... well that may be a different story.

Yeah, those pictures of the unpainted prototype aren't the greatest. The newer pictures of BB & CJ are better but still show a chunky torso.

Megatron is totally awesome.
BB even in colors just "why my shoulders hurt"

couldn't they have made the hood fold up or something. He looks like his wearing a big diaper.

The heads are very nicely done, really detailed but that torso is just bad.

Is it sad that the only thing I really care about on there is getting my hands on a transformable ravage USB drive?

No, it means you're hardcore.

I just noticed that the Halloween Mickey Prime is only 4200 yen in Japan, why is it listed for so expensive on BBTS? :-?

I believe that part of the increase of price is because BBTS has to cover costs of shipment of inventory to them from Asia.

Yea, but the colored / black and white version was like less than half of what BBTS is charging for the Halloween exclusive :shock:

I hope a 3rd party company like FansProject would create custom set to convert Bumblebee into Goldbug. That would be awesome.

With the way that the Alternity fiction sets things up with using different identities for the different repaints of Convoy and Megatron, we may not need such a custom kit. A third Bumblebee mold may be a "Goldbug" version with another different head sculpt and gold vehicle paint job.
