So Hasbro are as much at fault as anybody over the lack of VW Bumblebee & Porsche Jazz. Typical
Did Lamborghini also want a distinct lack of guns too?
What Hasbro should have done was release BB,Jazz etc without weapons and then down the line release a generic weapon pack with guns that were suspiciously like the ones left out of the releases of BB & Jazz. Thanks for posting the pics Cascadia,having just got into collecting Alternators it's an intresting look at what might have been.

you are quite welcome.

As for the Lamborghini cars, I have no information about this one in terms of the Twins. The only car manufacturer that changed their minds was Chevrolet with the production of Tracks and the Twins.

I too just got in the line (July) and I have almost every single Autobot except for 3.

That's a good idea. I never really care whether a character has guns or not, but that'd be an excellent way of keeping everybody happy.

How about the Corvette Accord as an Alt? Somewhere out there is an 11 year old pointing at that car and saying, "There, that's the car of my dreams! It looks just like the way I drew it on my wide ruled notebook paper during math!"

This abomination looks a little like something you would have possibly seen in season 3. I can only imagine that when it transforms, it turns into Shredder from the Ninja Turtles.

an accord with a corvette body kit? i don't know, not atracting me, maybe because I don't like corvettes! haha, the spoiler thing looks funny to me...

I actually think it's probably one of the ugliest thing I have ever seen on four wheels. When I saw it, I knew I had to share it with the Seibertron family... okay, so maybe that's not 100% true. Have you ever seen something so horrible or so ugly that you just have to get someone else to see it? I couldn't bear to know that I was the only person that will have that image etched in my memory.

lol, I have nothing else to say but, ITS SO UGLY!

I am not sure what to make out of that. But it is ugly.

As long as no one is considering it for TF2 I'll be fine.

anyone else has pictures? lol

Look at those RIMS!!! Yesssssssssss! Without the brake dust though ... they would NOT work.

Shredder ... LOL

You know, that car looks like something that could turn up in Animated.

Wtf... Who'd waste the time and money to do that? I've seen some horrible **** on car forums, but that's bad.

I've seen sketches of New Beetle as Bumblebee. If not for VW's rejection, it should have been one of the best Alternators.

So have we ... check page 2.

Can anyone send a clearer picture of the BB prototype?

Maybe we can make an Alternator of our own.

I think that isn't break dust, it looks like primer overspray which is even better!

Also note the front break vents. [sarcasm] The Accord engine is so powerful that the breaks probably would overheat trying to stop the beast without that![/sarcasm]
