These guys should take a lesson from the main Classics lines and release these guys with a new head as a new character. It'd be a little lame, but if they did that I'd have probably bought this mold by now and added it to my Classics collection.

I'm all over that! Never thought I'd see a GT TF based alt mode!

As much as I hated how they continue to milk the series, I must say the paintjob, added spoiler, sponsor decals are kinda cool. And from the character art it seems he got a facevisor too.

I think that the spoiler is neat, and I'm a bit anxious to see how that transforms in the robot mode.... But seriously.... This line has AMAZING potential, and all the figures look so good sitting there on the shelf, but this is NOT what we need. Seriously. We need new molds. Ironhide. Soundwave. Something. C'mon!!!!!

Guys, it's God Ginrai, Alternity style! 
I wonder when it will cease to surprise me that this line is still alive...

Glad to hear the Alternity line is coming back as I really loved the Alternators line (and their scale
).
I have the black Nemesis Prime repaint, Megatron and Bumblebee but clearly scale wasnt a factor when creating them! Bumblebee is massive in comparison!
I would really like to get hold of any one of the Seekers and Cliffjumper but prices tend to be a little high now, most times between £40/£60+!
I can only assume this same mold with extra stickers will be around the £70-£80 mark to the U.K.?

The first Alternity toy to be identified as "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".
This makes me wonder how the fiction will handle this guy. What if he's meant to represent the American iteration of the character and has Gratuitous English phrases put into his dialogue?
Also, can anyone here translate what those images say?

Is it wrong to want to put Optimus in the back of Optimus?

I picked up black convoy and was working on Convoy but I'll wait for this instead.

Am I the only one who thinks "Meh"?
Sure, it's real cool, but surely not *insert price here* cool. At least too me. I'll stick with my Alternity Convoy.

The top image appears to be a survey. The lower image, per my rough, early-morning-at-work translation would be :
"Takara Tomy Boos (not sure, looks like "boost", or "goods" with a typo) is the debut of a new Transformer toy series "Transformer GT"! Japan's premier Motorsports company Super GT and Transformers are collaborating! This racing car transforms into a robot?! This new Boos series will be coming at you real soon (not sure about one of the kanji here)! Can you see all the details on this cool racing car? If you haven't heard of Super GT check it out!"

If this a series, I just went broke before being broke.
If ONLY they would make some new cars, but make some legendary GT cars from the Day, like the Toyota GT-1, and Mazda 7B7.
Now that would be epic, make binaltech look like lamealtech.

Never got into collecting the Alt, Blt, or Alternity line. Does look nice but just not nice enough for me to get.

I can either alleviate your desire for continuity or make it worse; there is not a single mention of the word Alternity on either of these images.

Nope...I find it an unoriginal and boring play. Feels like the movie fig treatment...Bumblebee, Alternate Race Stripe Bumblebee, Race Number Bumblebee, Nest Logo Bumblebee, Unexplicable Different Color Bumblebee, Black Hood Bumblebee, Lightning Decals Bumblebee, etc, etc.
I'm glad I never bothered attempting to complete this so called line...can it even be considered a 'line' with only 4 molds?

The Hybrid Style line only had 2 molds: Galaxy Convoy and G1 Convoy.
