I thought the Alternators were cheap and not worth getting, especially since I was considering it a companion line to MP Optimus Prime so diecast was the call of the day! Until my Sideswipe's hood chipped. And it kept chipping. So did Smokescreen. And MP Prime for that matter. So after BT Hound I switched to Alts for Jazz and haven't gone back. They are still solid and well worth the money.

Want to know what works better? Take Clockers oversized exhausts and stick them on SDCC Hot Rods arms with the clear rubber bands they package everything with. TA-DAA!
Costs under $10.00.

I used to have a Binaltech Broadblast and it kept toppling over unless it was kinda leaning forward, same goes for my Binaltech Grimlock. Meanwhile, my Alternator Wheeljack is posed doing a high kick.

Smokescreen--if you can afford the BT version, it is much better looking than Alt
Silverstreak--it does not matter which way you go. They look exactly alike. The only way to tell the difference is by picking them up and feeling the weight difference. I transform the Alt. more often than the BT.
Hound--does not matter which way you go. I have both and they look identical
Jazz--if you want plain white, go with the Alternator. The BT has a pearl finish
