Is Alternator Hound out? I haven't seen him in any stores yet?

Actually, I think Silverstreak is coming out before hound, I'm not 100 percent sure, though.

I know silverstreak just came out in alternators I"m pretty sure hound hasn't hit stores yet. I've got him in Bianaltech and its a great mold a lot less clunky then the others expecially for the feat.

I have a question.: When, oh when are Shockblast and Cliffjumper coming out? I've wanted Shockblast for a while but I've only seen my first pics of Cliffjumper a few days ago, and he looks so badass! I mist have those two!

All I've seen are the galleries of ShockBlast and Bulkhead. I also saw the in-package pictures of them, but I have yet to see them in stores. I'm guessing sometime late this month or early next month we'll see them in stores.

Currently I know that Cliffjumper and Shockblast are to be at Bigbadtoystore for a restock today the issue there way over priced I'd expect them in stores by the end of the month.

Yeah, I know. I saw that at BBTS a few days ago, and while I like their store, I refuse to pay 30 bucks plus shipping for 20 dollar Transformers. If they were 25 each, MAYBE...but not 30. What's strange is that while most of the TF Energon stuff has good prices, they're commiting highway robbery with Cliffjumper and a few others. stare

Also, I don't think I've seen Bulkhead. Anyone have pics?

EDIT: Found some. Damn, that's a third one I'm gonna have to get now. gonk

Finally, does anyone know sizes for Cliffjumper and Shockblast? Some sources say Mega, others say Ultra. If' they're Ultras, then BBTS's price is actually right.

Cliffjumper is a Mega and can merge with either Ironhide or Jetfire. Sockblast is Also a Mega. I 100% agree with you about the cost I will buy imports above cost but anything I know I can get for $20 by a 10 minute trip to walmart I'm certainly not paying $30 for.

Thanks for the info. Man, the Alternators are the slowest released line ever. Well, to pass the time, here is a pic of my 20th Anniversary Prime (US version sad )

BigBadToyStore has just officially listed the Insecticons as rerelease number 16 it will contain all 3 and possibly the energon cubes pictured with them. The current preorder price is $39.99 which is respectable considering it is 3 figures and will retail in japan for 3500 yen.

Judging from the picture, it looks like the Energon Cubes can fit inside their chest. Definitly awsome if they could. Now I have to wait on them, Hound, and Stepper. crying

How hard do you think it would be to take desert camo Ruination (Ugggg) and paint it up to be Bruticus?

It's too much effort to even bother. I don't see why you would want to do so in the first place. It would be a lot easier to just find an original Bruticus.

I have to fully agree as you can find a complete Gen 1 bruticus for under $100 on e-bay if your lucky it seems silly to spend the time money and effort required to turn a camo one into a orignal.

[sinister626]

This is very true. But I thought I would ask anyway. I mean the Ruination set is at WalMart for $20 right now. I just hate the color scheme they gave him. It makes me sad.

Plenty of news today. First, the Energon Optimus Prime and Megatron 2 pack is to be a TRU exclusive. See the picture of the box here and the news article from Hasbro's site here. For all those Beast Wars Neo fans, Big Convoy is to be re-colored and released in the U.S. in the Transformers Universe line as Nemesis Prime.

Hey, that two pack is pretty cool, but, is it just me or is there something a little off about the both of them? Assuming they're the same two you can buy individually, of course. neutral

I just love that Prime. His mouth plate even moves! I got the Japanese version not long ago. I'd love it if they did a Starscream just like him. biggrin
