Now this I get. Platinum Preds are still out there Sill, and still on sale. Get them before they're gone.

Problem is, do I get them and skip out of some Titans Return stuff like Fort Max?

do you want fort max. you could also wait and hopefully get combiner wars predaking if the leaks are true

I really like Fort Max, but mostly for Cerebros and Emissary surprisingly. That is the best-looking Cerebros we have gotten so far in my opinion. It even beats 3rd party ones. I do wish I could get the master sword with it also though.

All and any of them. The CW mold is the farthest deviation from tradition, but I love it too. I still think Prowl wears it best. Although Custom Blue looks pretty dope. If I do say so myself. :-P

And, thanks D! ;)^

Welcome back to your Dormotron. Have phun with your new gadget!

I think he was referring to D-Max going home and taking a break.

Actually I was referring to him taking so long to get a Smokescreen. >:oP

I just realised what's wrong with this picture.

No Alternator/Binaltech Smokescreen.

I know it was a big shift ... Datsun - Subaru, and totally different colour scheme. But if you're going to have a Datsun Brothers collection you gotta have the Alt/BT's.

'cause they're just ... =P~

I agree with the Burninator. Where's the Alternator?! I know you had the Silverstreak you picked up from me in your family photo..? I just realized tonight I don't have a Subaru Alternator mold now :-(

Well that's just not right. You need to fix that immediately!

So I forgot one. Whudja gunna dew, eh?
Alt SS was the first Alt I ever got.

Now can't you see I'm posing up guys to shelf 'em, so I can make more room for MORE robit guys!
I got all these guys all over the place. Don't make me go get guys out of boxes of guys so I can show you guys that I got all the guys! Jeez!

:-P

Same (though it was the BT version and I got Alt later)

You got yourself a Prowl as well?

Nope.

I really just have a hand full of Aternaters. Those two, Sideswipe, Windcharger, Jazz, and Ravage.
Picked up BT Broadblast while in Hong Kong. That was awesome!
I have a nice little squad lead by MP-01, but those guys are so big, and space is running out.

I like to display them with Micromans, 'cause they scale real good. :-B

Yeah, they are.
I still have all my BT's in their boxes and displayed in my lounge room, but the Alts are free and in the actual TF room. But they're in a crappy set of shelves, don't get the display they deserve, and are taking up space I could use for other figures.

Want a Prowl do ya? :-P

Personally, I like the FunPub Bluestreak the best.

I'd like to get more Alt/BT figures but space, time, money, priorities. I do feel the bots suffer a bit for vehicle accuracy.

But Jazz, hell yeah. Him not being a Porsche **** with my head. What is he a rx7 or 8 with the 7 being the sexier of the two.

Prowl, yes Plz! You know he's my boy!

I'd rather go by mold after that; Mustang, GT, WRX, wangler and maybe that Dodge RAM only because I used to have a dodge pick up.

I'd rather the Alts because they are all plastic and may be more stable. My Skids is top heavy with weak ankles. If a fly farts he'll fall over.

Good call pairing with MP1, they are a bit to big for the current MP scale. I have Skids beefy ass chilling in the back most of the time or in dark blue flaming toaster mode.

TFL usual has a good selection at decent prices, any suggestions?

I've been moving my Alternators in and out of the display as of late. They are a lot of fun to have in alt mode, so clean! I have Prowl, and he's yellowed. I also have Meister, and HE yellowed. Both only on the robot parts, not the car panels. All the other ones are fine. Crazy stuff. Optimus has the loosest joints in the world though. And I really wouldn't mind picking up Camshaft in the RSX/Integra mold. How are yours holding up Burn?

Alternators! Good times. If you get an RX-8, get Shock(wave)blast. He's the Mazdaspeed edition so he looks cooler :-D

I have Rodimus in the GT mold, Optimus in the RAM mold, Windcharger (or Overdrive as WJ pointed out he was in Japan, a MUCH better fit) in the S2000, Prowl in the RSX/DC5 Integra, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker in the Viper (although Sunstreaker is the GTS). I still want Mirage and Hound (they can be Masterpiece fill-ins :lol:

) and I always seem to miss them on TFL. And of course pick up MP1 just to see where it all re-started ;)^

At the moment? No. But never say never. I think I would like Mirage, Hound, and maybe a few others before I triple dip.

It was the whole reason I got MP1.

itscramtastic wrote:The Alternators Silverstreak from ME was the first Alternator you ever picked up?! What?!

No, no. Sorry Cram. By SS I meant Smokescreen, but I didn't even think of the corn-fusion that would cause. I don't think I even knew there was a Blusilverstreak Alt fig until I caught wind of yours. :-?

They seem alright. I don't fiddle with them like I used to though.

I had an alt prowl. Then my sons got ahold of it.

Cool Smokescreens Cobo. I also lack a Smokey but I have less of a need to get one. If I got any it would probably be the Beast Hunters deluxe.

As for Alternators I have a Ricochet that I got at a flea market once (he was sealed actually) and he's pretty cool.
