On the Alternity page of the takara/tomy site there is a silhouette of a car with rear spoilers and the words 'coming soon...' underneath. Could this be a new (third) design to follow Megatron?

It looks like Henkei Red Alert?

Dammit, I think you're right. How disappointing. And why would they advertise henkei on the Alternity page? Curse them!

So you thought that was possibly a light bar on top as well?

My first thought/hope was Prowl but then I happen to be partial towards that character. More than likely it will be Red Alert.

It may be an alternity red alert or prowl not just henkei? maybe?

Unfotrunately, I think you're clutching at straws...

Mold is right, but I think it's Sunstreaker. The top looks more like the intakes of Henkei/Hasbro Sunstreaker.

Besides, gotta save the Red Alert repaint for later :grin:

I think it looks like Hot Rod.

I thought the same thing about it being on the Alternity page...but it's definitely an exotic car and looks just like the Classics mold.

Or maybe reissue Sunstreaker!?

same here, that silhouette is giving off a classics rodimus vibe.

I'm guessing Sunstreaker or Sideswipe.

whatever it is, it's definitely "comming" soon :lol:

Its a Lambo, either a Gallardo or a Murciellago. Could be a Reventon too :-?

Looks like Classics Sunstreaker/Sideswipe to me, I don't see how anyone could see anything else. Actually, for some reason this reminds me of Asch's conformity experiment with the lines...

Anyhow, it's possible there is a third Alternity coming and someone got sloppy and used the wrong silhouette for the website.

Cool! I like my Prime. Can't wait to get Megatron and I hope they do more. :grin:

well i say theres no way to tell who it is. i mean, megatron was never a car ya know. so it might look like this guy or it might sorta look like that guy but for all we know it could be Blaster, Perceptor, or anyone else who has never been a car...

ok well im not 100% sure if those guys were ever cars or not but im sure ive got my point across... :-B

Yeah, it's definately NOT news to get excited about - sorry for getting your hopes up.

Of course you realize that one of these days they are actually going to blindside us all, not say a word to anyone and produce a Wheelie that is actually a bad-ass.

And nobody...will...see...it...coming!! :twisted:
