Honestly... And don't anyone kill me for this... I think Ravage fits the mold better than Tracks does...

I mean... the clasping hands, a black corvette, missiles... It seems more Ravage than Tracks.

Skids is supposed to be an original mold, I think... The first ALT Minivan!

Maybe Ironhide willl follow suit.

and Shockwave... I know alot of people don't like him as a car, but personally I don't mind it at all. The color of the vehicle fits, the head is dead-on Shockwave,
I mean... if only they had made the hand White. That would have made it almost-perfect. But I still think it was pretty good.

Looks like they Cancelled Decepticharge... he was looking pretty sweet and was to be teh first "original" alt.


No he was Breakdown renamed cause no Car Company would want there called Breakdown. None of the Alts will be original. That's the purpose of the line. The closest thing we'll ever have to originals in the Alt line are the drones like Zoom Zoom that don't really have a mind of there own.

I Honestly hope not, because Ironhide would be the third use of that mold and I really see no reason to use a mold more then twice, some molds like Grimlock should only of been used once in my opinion. The next guy to be using that mold will be Blaster.

My favorite BT right now is Grimlock, a little difficult to transform yes, but worth it. They never should of used that mold for any other Transformer. My only acception for that comment would be if they used Grimlock's mold for a botcon exclusive Dinobot. Give the mold a new head and maybe Dinobot2's colors, that would of been sweet.

Not according to http://www.seibertron.com/ where they state he is a original.

Don't know how accurate Seibertron is, but Database and his wacky source normally ain't wrong. Since I saw the evolution of the charaters from Database, I still going to go with he's Breakdown.

Database is the name of a friend of mine. He scours the net for all sorts of info on Transformers and has fun reporting it to me just to prove he knows more about Transformers then I do. Funny thing though each time he reports t me he evens the score in knowlege.

Database is also the name of his fanmade Transformer who turns into a PC. Though I wonder, what kinda car he transform into if Star Scream ordered him to be an BT.

Hey guys, just a quick Aussie update (as if you care) - this morning a spotted a Shockblast, Ravage, Decepticharge, and Wheeljack on the shelves. The paint in these particular instances was particularly bad, as if they were cheap knock-offs, even though they clearly were not. Is this the case in general, with all the changes currently taking place on the corporate side of things? I hope not, because I really want a Wheeljack, but I'll be giving him a miss if the paint is universally as bad as this...

Skids and Blaster will be Scions(I think that's the name of the vans.)

I think they are knockoff Cudboy, Tanismentioned Decepticharge was canceled, and the quality of Alts and BT's are pretty good. Sure Grimlock is mono-tone, but Smoke Screen isn't and his paint job is very well done.

Decepticharge won't be out until around September I think I read. He's in the case with Prowl, Wheeljack and Grimlock that's shipping now.

Which really sucks cause I need Ravage, Shockblast, Decepticharge, Swerve, Wheeljack and Prowl. I'm so far behind and my Wal-Mart has not restocked the Alternators since before christmas. Yeah. 8 months. The only reason I got Grimlock is because I drove 40 minutes to pick him up at a Target.

Guess I'm headed to eBay. >_<

That is strange. But I can only think it's that or your getting all the rejects.
