OptionZero Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Because nobody seems to either 1) read the first few pages of the thread or 2) bother searching on google or ANY major transformers site... i'll review: Hasbro/Takara is producing a new line of Transformers dedicated for the older, hardcore fan. Smokescreen, as you see here, is the first in this line. He is a Subaru Impreza WRX Rally car. In America, this line will be called Transformers Alternators. Each toy will be about $20, and be made of plastic. Alternators Smokescreen is due in stores around December in the United States/North America In Japan, this line will be called Transformers BinalTech. The mold is the same, but the toys will be made of DIE CAST METAL. They retail for about $40 in Japan, and after shiping to america, about $60-70 depending how hard you look. He has already been released in Asia, and has just hit U.S. Importers. The first shipment is pretty much all sold out, but if you hit ebay, you can still get one, but be prepared to pay upwards of $80 shipped. The second character in the line will be Sideswipe, a red Dodge Viper. Pictures of him can be found on ebay (search for "Sideswipe prototype"), OR by going to www.hlj.com and checking their Transformers section. BinalTech sideswipe will be out in December. Alternators Sideswipe will come out late first quarter of '04 probably. We have yet to know who the 3rd toy in the line will be yet, but i'm sure when Sideswipe is abou t to hit Japan we'll catch wind of something. Hasbro has yet to release a story for Alternators in america, and may not even create one. There likely won't be a TV show, but there may be a comic. Who knows. Takara, however, has included a brief background for BinalTech. I paraphrase: Years after G1 story ended, the decepticons discover the power of Cosmic Rust (disease shown in transformers comic/cartoon). They harness its power as a weapon and severely weaken most of the Autobots. By now, the Autobots have formed a working relationship with humans on earth, and with the advent of this Decepticon attack, require their help. With the help of Teletran-1, the autobot's mainframe computer, the humans are able to design new bodies for the Autobots to transfrer their consciousness' into. Smokescreen, here is the first, in a collaboration with Fuji heavy industries (Subaru parent com pany). Someone correct me if i'm wrong, i'm going on memory. For further updates, please stay tuned to www.transfandom.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cube Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 lol...it's funny....people are worried about chipping the paint on the Impreza transformer...and Impreza owners are worried about chipping the crappy paint jobs on their (our) cars. This is a level of realism never before seen in a toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cube Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 at least if they actually used WR blue for it, you can get perfectly matched touch-up paint pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 at least if they actually used WR blue for it, you can get perfectly matched touch-up paint pretty easily. hehe, that's true. You would have to go to the subaru dealership and get one there. that'd be cool if they did use the same color paint as the real WRX.
