TCM bB. I think its 1/24 scale. There was a post on this early. Can't wait to see them. I think we will get first grabs since were closer to Japan. Uhh, they are made in japan right??? :doh:

here is the link to where you can buy it 50 bucks.
http://capturedprey.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=311

He will be called Skids. The color is Blue.

I can't wait to get one! But I will wait until they come out instead of paying $50.00.

all I can say is, the takara brand transformer(Skids and Broadblast) even has a Wakaba badge stickers! :rofl: :rofl:
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~kek23k/img20051117190028.jpg

anyone have an idea about how much they will cost when they come out in the states?

its already on ebay but pricey. the hasbro(plastic) is said to be by december.

Does anybody know how big these toys are? It look liked 1/24 scale size but just judging by how these look closer in pics, the detail on how the are when in car mode, plus the outrageous prices, the must be large scale toys? Like 1/18 scale?

I cant wait...................................

I can't wait either!!

TIMMY!!!!

Just surfed the web and found Hasbro's version of Skids.

I think the Takara brand looks better. The flames are ugly IMO.

hmm... nothing some sand paper and airbrushing cant fix :)

still cool either way...

Hey check out this web site of the Transformers Alternator

http://www.transformerland.com/transformers-alternators.html

They been out for a while. Check out the detail of the jeep. That looks cool. I notice that even the xB's have a full interior when in auto mode. Can't wait to see them.

i can't wait to get that TCM one... sweet!!!

found some transformation pics here http://members9.tsukaeru.net/ty1_toys/toys/BT_16.htm

http://members9.tsukaeru.net/ty1_toys/robo/BT/BT_16/BT16_23.jpg

lol the cylinder head/cover becomes part ob the gun lol

the dude that i get my bB bibles, StyleWagon magazines
and iST/bB toys will be get getting 3 in soon.

he told be $50-ish.

Just to fill you guys in because i am an UBER transformers geek. The Alternators Transformers, which are super detailed car models that transform into fully posable robots, are 24.99 at Walmart, and are 19.99 at my Military Exchange. The xB (actually bB transformers are made in japan) will be out in time for Christmas. they are already in Japan (takara version a lot nicer) in most colors, but the american version Alternator (hasbro) is coming out in a blue version (Autobot) and later in a silver color (decepticon) the decepticon version will be released usually 3 months after the initial release. (its the way that they release all of their models. either the autobot or decepticon comes out first, and then 3 months later the other version comes out) They will be the same robot, just different colors, and they will rebadge them with either Autobot or Decepticon. but other than that, they are the same.
The Alternators line is an extrmely collectible line of transformers, and most are snagged up on the release day by those damn Collector Hobby Store guys, and will be resold there for twice (or more) the price.

Skids (the autobot, blue version) has a completely detailed, to scale interior, engine, exhaust, exterior, even engine. working doors and hood. rubber wheels, metal body. The engine is removable and becomes the weapon. (like all in the alternators line)

Hoover dam, my nerd is showing again...

* update 1/24 scale*

I haven't played with any Transformers since I was a kid so I was afraid that I was going to break them the first couple of times I transformed them... No need to worry though, they are pretty damn well made(they'd better be for $50 each!!).

Tell me that was not a joke, please!

might need all 4.............

<< will need all 4...

oh man these toys are sick

wonder if they come in PW :)
sorry they don't. you might have to repaint it if decided to get one.
and mikeC, if you want more news that weeman is saying, you might want to go here
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-and-rumors.html
this people will post in the first sightings and rumors they find.

most of those rumors are horrendous. i cruise the .jp websites for transformers to see what Japan has, msot of the time if it is in japan, we will most likely get them in the states at some time. (generally) but then, if we don't i just go over to japan and get them over there...sometimes living on guam has its perks. TRUE JDM, and Japan stuff.

I gotta atleast get one to add on to my collection of xB's at work.

the takara brand is well made, nice and all, but i'll settle with the cheaper hasbro when they release it probably by december, it gets cheaper too if I shop at K-mart, they have a Jeep transformer that were priced at $21, and 2-3 weeks later went down to $11. hopefully it goes the same, so I can but 2!!!!!!!

oh my... never expected that

oh my... never expected that
oh yeah, it happens. I'm not saying on this one, but i'm hoping it will. theres a lot of shopping loop holes, I got almost all of my xB toys for 20% to 50% off.

havent checked this thread in a few days WOW, im so going to have me a few of those lol

transformer fever all over again for me

:love:

a Hasbro one on sale on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-alternators-scion-skids-new-packaging_W0QQitemZ6017209982QQcategoryZ4694QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Looks cheesy with the flames. and Expensive!

yeah, 19.00 is not expensive when you look at what the other sites are going to charge...

$19.00<$50.00

yeah, 19.00 is not expensive when you look at what the other sites are going to charge...

$19.00<$50.00

Yo Sir.

the price is in pounds. GBP 19.90 (Approximately US $34.14) add another 10 pounds to ship it, and don't forget, 2 pound for insurance as required.

tell me that is cheap. :no:

***sigh.... Just purchased both of the Takara versions. Not too bad for the real deal though. Better than the one I saw on ebay for the Hasbro version.

if anyone is interested, toywiz.com has them. use promo code "cabin" for $5.00 off. not much, but helps a little :)

dang, that tyte. they need to come out with a tC one.

oh btw, a FLINT MICA one!!!

YES tC transformer!!!! in BLUE!!!!

That will be cool if Takara built all three models, xA, xB, and tC

if they do a tC, it would be a Decepticon.
and Smokescreen will kick its butt!!!

actually, it looks like he wants to SPANK them butts :P

man, if all goes well i am getting both of the xB ones imported from Japan. they look like they are pretty well made. cannot wait for the tCs to show up (I hope they do! :pray: )

some comics story from takara here: http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/TF/cm/bta-03.html

Cool Comic story. If only I can read Japanese :doh:

Skids is my hero. Here is what he has to say on the back of the box that he comes in. Couldn't have said it better myself:

http://www.scottkramer.net/images/skids.jpg

haha! thats great!

speed is ????? when you have intelligence and killer rims...

speed is immaterial when you have intelligence and killer rims.....you know whats funny, those are the Scion rims everyone hated LOL :D

yeah, but now they're on a Scion transformer so they're cool again... :P j/k

I just think it's funny because it's so arbitrary. Intelligence alone won't do it. But intelligence AND killer rims??? Well sir, that makes speed immaterial.

thats an awsome comment, its going on my list.

and tryly yes thast does make them cool again

hahha yea i got the sti one too, but sorry no crazy "ima kill you pose" pis of it...=P

those transformer xB's are awesome :)
