Alternators - Alternate packaging?

I thought I had the complete collection of alternators, but I ran across a couple that I wanted to know where they came from. I have attached a pic of the one I found on ebay. I did see one of Decepticharge on the TF2005.com forums. Any insight? I am new to the TF forums, but not new to forums. Sorry if this is an old topic. Thanks.

You can check out my collection at ..

I have never seem Alt Silverstreak in the "bubble" type of packaging, just the Blue "box" style. The line is supposedly dead, so I have no clue.

Other than the bubble Packaging, Silverstreak is one of he least rare Alt's Its odd he is in bubble packaging since he was in the first waves of Alts' with the boxed packaging.

But other than that, i have no idea what you mean by "Where did it come from?"

Yeah that packaging is right, I've seen a load of Silverstreaks at my local Tescos plus Swindle, the shockwave one (shockblast? laserwave?) and a Dead End all in bubble packaging.

Swindle I just picked up because I hadn't bought a TF in a while and the jeep wrangler mould is AWESOME :grin: one of my favs now. I wish I picked up hound when i had the chance (but to be fair I never saw one in shops)

now I'm just debating if I should get the movie prime and bumblebee 08 pack or XK ravage alternator. damn, decisions decisions...

Ah, UK packaging. My bad. Stupid Americans.

Oh, get Ravage, he rocks, IMHO

Yeah, Ravage was my first Alternators purchase and I love him. Get him now while he's still relatively cheap. The movie line stuff should still be around for awhile.

Thanks! I did a little research and found that the following ones are in the Blister Pack style.

Swindle
Silverstreak
Shockblast
Dead End

I haven't confirmed the Decepticharge, but that was the one that made me ask and look for these. Thanks for everyone who replied. I attached the other 3 pics I found

i have never seen any of these alts in stores. come to think of it, i barely see any alts in stores. the only one i remember seeing was smokescreen, the red dodge viper, a jeep back when the line first came out. oh and a skids, who i guess is part of the later waves.

Agreed. That exclamation point on the packaging is a dead giveaway.

Sorry, I'm not sellin' :cry:

I work for Kelley Blue Book and I used our tool for dealerships for my Transformer Collection as they are all real cars. I thought it was clever. If I turn on the prices you'll probably cry...as they were meant to be just for display and not for real.....if I come across either one I'll let you know. If you were looking for an Optimus Prime I have one for sale $42 shipped USPS Priority mail in the US. Let me know....
