Alternity Megatron Prototype Images

Posted by Tigertrack Dec 1, 2008 at 4:09am CST 14,769 views
kurdt_the_goat has sent us some new images of a prototype of TakaraTOMY's Alternity Megatron in alt mode and robot mode. These are the first actual images that we have seen of the toy. Previously, all that we have seen is the silhouette of what he would look like.

Alternity Megatron is due out in the first quarter of next year (March), and his partner Alternity Convoy is due out in January.

The Alternity line is similar to the previous TakaraTOMY Binaltech line, with real licensed vehicle alt modes, detailed robot modes, and die cast metal. These are, however, much smaller in scale than Binaltech were. These are about the size of a deluxe toy.

I think Convoy got the best design.

I think we need aclose up of the head mold soon - it seems to look a little off for Megs but indeed, great for Bludgeon.

Turns out the arm cannon was really just the two swords mounded on his arm.


It would be cool if they were still somehow part of a Fusion Cannon, but that's just wishful thinking.

Megatron looks good to me. An arm cannon would be nice but I could live with the swords.

Glad I preordered it.

It looks to me like there is some kind of device on his arms, but they look like claws...

Poor Megatron, everyone can sneak up behind him and he would never know. Might give Starscream a chance to bump him off though.

That could be something on his right arm but I doubt it, these types of figure are usually symetrical, mind you I cannot see the same thing on his left arm.

What the hell is that plate doing on the back of his head?

I think its a shame Binaltech didnt get a Megatron, would have rounded the line of nicely.

Swords but no Fusion cannon? That is Bludgeon not Megs.

Mold looks as good as the GT-R but the swords don't suit the character.

I'm kinda glad I passed on this line. They're way too expensive and this doesn't really look like a Megatron should... the special edition Universe one looks better than this guy. :? Convoy's pretty cool looking, but he's a sports car... I dunno. Not worth the price.

Glad they got the license to do awesome Nissans AFTER the Binaltech/Alternator line bit the dust.

Prowl and his mold-siblings should have been the Z, although I liked the Subaru a lot.

Megatron and Prime as cars is just silly if you ask me.

Won't be getting this miniaturized line, no matter how cool the cars are. They had a cool thing going with the BT/Alts, don't know why they're shifting scales and doing the exact same thing.

I would rather them charge more and keep the same scale than keep the same price point and shrink them.

Looks nice but yea, Bludgeon. That head doesn't look Megatron enough for me. I'd actually give these figures a chance if they cost Deluxe or possibly Voyager price but there's no way I'm paying more than Leader price for a figure that is only about Deluxe-Voyager size.
