It's true. Except people weren't nearly so outraged by him becoming a Nissan GT-R in Alternity for some reason... :thinking: Could be because it's a badass car.

I think the case is, people got used to seeing weird japanese figures, like the shoe-formers.

TRUKK NOT NIKE!

I was outraged. I'm not that big of a Transformers fan, but damn it I wanted a big badass alt mode for Optimus. Instead, he became a small puny car. That first attempt at a realistic truck alt mode for Optimus in Binaltech failed miserably with a horrible robot mode, and now he's a car. When will we get a realistic truck alt mode that can transform into an awesome robot form?

Hmmm, I was thinking Movieverse. And, come to think of it, RiD, Cybertron, Classics, THS.

I think Alternity Convoy fits into that weird mental space of "He's Optimus, but he's not Optimus", like Fire Convoy from Car Robots or that recent Leobreaker repaint in G1 colours.

Actually, I think Prime as a fire truck is the perfect choice for him:
-large red truck with powerful engine
-what better way to sum up Prime's self-sacrificing nobility than by associating him with firemen?

Oh yeah, Diem, you're in a better position than most of us to answer this: was his firetruck based on or similar to Japanese firetrucks?

My idea for a new alternators line would be the G1 characters and their G1 alt. forms in Alternator style.
