Aveo, not Eveo. Same difference. Aveo's stink. Cobalts are better.

are they serious? you need to buy an actual, factual, CAR to get this? takara must be seeing how far we'll go for exclusive figures. i can see them in their offices - 'hey guys, let's see if they go for it...'

if i didn't love them so much, i'd hate them.

...that didn't make a whole lot of sense. stupid drinking.

Front paged... ordering my new Aveo right now... :grin:

No I'm not.

Alternator completists be damned. First SDCC Nem Prime and Rodimus, and now this.

The size is quite small though, only about as big as a deluxe? And then there is Alternator Exc. Swerve, he's tiny... (zing!)

i need to buy two. one to open and one to leave mib.

This isn't a true Alternator is it? In the robot form, it's as tall as the Deluxe 09 Bumblebee. Aren't Alternators taller than that?

isn't he the transformer on the citroen ad?

Who says this is an Alternator?

The instructions say "Autobot" Swerve and there is a Transformers Universe logo. I see no mention of Alternator anywhere.

Yes, I will be hooked up!

And it looks like a retooled Swindle to me.

Dibs on your alternator!!!

Try to weasel them out of two, okay?

i actually work in sales at a chevy dealership, but this is the first i've heard of it. the good news is that the aveo is chevy's cheapest car, starting at around $9-10,000. gets about 37 mpg.

what's also worth noting is that (at my dealership, anyway) aveo buyers aren't generally the type to be into transformers toys. so you may be able to pick them up on ebay, or even see if a sales guy can hook you up with one.

the bad news is that i was planning on quitting soon. i might have to stick around to get one of these...

This is not an alternator, as can be seen by the instructions for it....just another Universe Swerve. I'm assuming the only reason it's being called an alternator is because it turns into a real-life car??

Somebody should change that in the first post to avoid confusion. I panicked there for a second thinking I was going to have to go through hell trying to compete my alternator set (as if I'm not already, having yet to get Rollbar, Camshaft, Rumble, Jaguar Ravage, & SDCC Rodimus still)....

wow all the alternators you listed are the ones that i started out with i am going back though to get the old subaru's and stuff

So this came this far? So it is now OK for grown men to 'play' with toy robots? Have Takara finally lost it? The idea is interesting though, but for having to buy a car, I would expect a much more better figure. Maybe taller and with plenty more gimmicks. Never mind if what I say don't make sense. I'm a hopeless dreamer. :-P

Well you can feel better, as was stated, the directions do not appear to say Alternator anywhere, so perhaps it is not.
