Dunno if anyone is interested, but there is currently a line of collectors Transformers called Alternators. These are high-detail toys mostly intended for adult collectors.

Anyway, a prototype has surfaced of one of the newest to come out later in the year.

Oh, and there is a diecast version that will be released in Japan under the BinalTech line, so you can get the plastic one for around $20 stateside or spend $50 to import the diecast japanese version. :D

One last thing, so far all of the molds have been used at least twice. Usually, the second one is a remold with tuner parts (kit, new rims, etc). And they have detailed interiors (usually a dash, front seats, center console), working doors, working hood/hatch and an engine that becomes the weapon.

It's a lot of goodness for $20. :)

lockaroo!

It's a repost. Thanks for the heads-up, though!
