Since we have lots of new faces I thought it would be a good time to ask a popular question-

Which is better Binaltech, Alternators, or KISS Players? and why?

I personally prefer Binaltechs. They're die-cast, they come with great paint jobs and great packaging that can be reused to store them, stat cards, and extras such as decals for Tracks, Sniper rifle for Overdrive, missle launcher for Smokerscreen BT07.

I like the Alts better, they can be posed so much better, and no paint chipping for those of us who like to transform their transformers. BT's look nicer, but Alts are more fun to play with.

So does anyone want to buy BT blue Tracks? MIB

Alternators are a more practical option for most individuals, although Binaltechs would appear superior on display.

BT/Kiss for display, Alts for play.

Simple as that really.

In my eyes BTs are better as they look more like regular model cars and less like toys.

I can't afford Binal's or KISS so it's all Alt's for me - and yes, I love 'em! I just wish I could find them. it seems like ever since X-Mas, Alternator's haven't shipped at all. I have two TRU's, four Target's, a KB outlet and KB store all within 10 miles of where I live and I haven't seen a thing. I still haven't found Prime or Mirage.

Alts, the Hasbro QC on the alts is better than the Takara QC on the BTs, especilly the latter BTs and BTAs. Also of my two BTs (well, one BT and one BTA) one has suffered some pretty bad paint chipping, partly caused (but not entirly) by simply transforming him too many times, and the other is difficult to pose due to looser then prefered joints.

Really depends on what you're looking for. I have Smokescreen, Lambor (Sideswipe) & Hound BT, the rest Alts and they all kick equal amounts of ass on the shelf. Word of warning: the only KISS I have is Rodimus (for fishing rod

) and the pantsless 10 year old just makes it dirty...

Thats always been my argeuement. I have more Alternators then BT's, but I do have some where I have boththe BT and Alt version (Hound, Swindle, Prowl, Tracks, Meister and Skids). SO when that happend I will have the Altenrator in Robot mode because of the better poseability, and the Alt modes as BT's because they display nicer.

And Kiss Player's are just prettier Alternators.

(this should be in the Buy/Sell section, but) Anyone know where I can get KISS accessories, without spending $65 on a TF I already have?

Being an anime fan, I love the little girls (that came out wrong) that come with these, and the fact that they can fit inside the driver's seats is awesome, and, pink as it may be, that surfboard that turns into a sword for Optimus is just amazing. But, like I said, I already spent $20 on Prime, I don't want to spend another $65 just to get a girl to drive him and a weapon for him to use (not to mention, I don't really need another Prime, cooler paint job or not)...
