ZorClone Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 they both look very cool i like grimlock, is Meisters stomach area transformed right it looks wrong for some reason like it is backward. lol, yeah it looks like they forgot to fold in the middle parts..

Hurricane29 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Grimlock looks great, and Meiste is mistransformed. The stomach area is just like Smokey's, and in that pic the front seats and floorboards are not folded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSJ23 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 BT-05 Auctionstracks got released today in japan and yes he's yellow what!!!! no blue tracks? what happened? did they just dump that idea? Or is it going to be a later release? It better be, I want my blue tracks!! It looks like Blue tracks is hasbro only, Takara never said anything about a Blue tracks. I'm starting to like the mold, so I hope Takara does make a blue BT tracks sometime down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Grimlock looks WAY better with these new pics. I can't wait to add those to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Samurai Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Takara certainly missed the boat with keeping Tracks yellow since the yellow and black would've made a perfect Decepticon color scheme. Instead of releasing alternate Meister colors like most people are predicting, they should've done the white one as Meister/Jazz and the red one as Cliffjumper or yet one more Stunticon. As much as I'm not too interested in the Decepticon Binaltechs/Alternators, you'd have better luck getting me to buy one of each if they were different characters. As it stands, I'm going white only with Meister and hope for a blue Tracks (or the Alternator). Grimlock does look better each time I see him, although I've still not sure about the different color mouthplate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 No big deal about Takara, though disappointing. I'm getting Hasbro's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 In a Dengeki Hobby interview a Takara staff member reveals that there WILL be a blue Tracks. However, because of the fact that Hasbro and Takara are developing these toys in collaboration, he could well have meant that the alternator will be blue. I doubt it, though... Oh yeah. He also mentioned something about releasing a "remake" of TF the Movie. By which I think he means a DVD re-release with better features, restored image and sound, etc. And he hinted at a huge gestalt reissue at the end of the year; of course this has since been revealed to be Predaking. By the way, the Hound reissue is out now, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I'm really liking Grimlock and I think it's fantastic and truly creative how they have managed to retain a lot of his 'look' without actually being a dinobot. I read that the sword he comes with is actually his drive train in car mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remade in what way? I don't know exactly, but my guess is what I just said -- a better re-release (of course this is most likely referring to the R2 version).

Californium Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I've never been a fan of Grimlock, cartoon or comic version. And I tend not to like silver on the new mustangs. Especially with bright red seats. What's more, he looks like any knee articulation won't mean much; and walking on seat cushions is a bit...odd. Just the same, he looks great. Maybe the best looking alt yet. Can't wait till this thing arrives... .... Of course, at the rate Hound is showing up, it'll be well into next year... (Damn those vampire tuna, with their sharp little white incisors and their little red and black capes.) 2 questions though. First, what's up with the inverse black widow emblem on his crotch? Second, I noticed he has some highlights airbrushed onto his shoulders and abdomen. Nice effect. Have any of the other alts had that? I wonder if it will make it onto the production version.

I wonder if it will make it onto the production version. I think that picture is a photoshopped version of an unpainted prototype- hence the airbrushed look in a couple of places... like the "open" pic...

UN Spacy Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That Swindle looks pretty nice. BTW anyone get their BT Tracks already? I gotta be on da lookout for those Alternator Dead End's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Is that Swindle just a repaint of a green Jeep that was released a while back. Sorry, I'm no good with TF names. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solscud007 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I got my Tracks on Tues from Image Anime.Also, Swindle has bigger wheels. you mean tires. Wheels are the metal lookign thingy in the middle that attaches to the car. The tire is the black rubbery thing. at least in the pic of swindle his wheel doesnt look bigger. But the TIRES seem bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
