Hi Transbros,
I'm really starting to get into Alternators/Alternity after getting my first one.
What do you guys think of them? What are some really good ones?
Lets have a discussion about these things gentlemen.

I'm probably the only one who really likes them. I have the entire line.

Good ones include pictured, the Hound mold is great, The Windcharger/Decepticharge mold is great, Walmart Jaguar Ravage, and Skids (I like like his bot mode, it's a pretty solid build)

The Subaru mold, like Ricochet, is really good if you excuse the feet.

This is relevant to my interests as well. I remember seeing them all over the place when they were new, but being turned off by the price and having other interests. I kinda want to get a couple, but I don't really know where to start.

Impreza mold, Jeep mold, RX8 mold, Jaguar XK mold, are the ones I can recommend from personal experience.

Oh, word of warning: avoid the Optimus Prime pickup truck thing. Fucking awful.

Ricochet, Shockblast, Skids, and Swindle looked the best to me.
You didn't mention Shockblast, any issues with him?

He's certainly not a bright spot of the line, but if you're a Prime fanatic he's not the worst buy, I just wouldn't pay a huge amount for him. The Fansproject upgrade kit helps a bit.

He's a pain to transform back into alt mode thanks to his shoulders.

>>2309107
Not really, the mold is okay and I like it with Jazz. Only real issue is that he's a darker, glossy color which is prone to scratches. Also his hood tends to stress which leaves marks that are visable. Other than that he's fine.

It's still a neat line if you want these toys for doing the things that they do specifically (more detailed, actual cars, complicated transformations), but a lot of the characters have better toys to their names now whereas they didn't when Alternators was running.

That's why I didn't mention the Dodge Viper mold. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have better toys in the universe line, and the lack of a new head for Alt Dead End was a let down.

If you're going for the Shockblast/Jazz mold, I'd recommend the Alternity mold, it has magnets insteas of posts & sockets to keep the front tires aligned in vehicle mode.

If you're going for the Shockblast/Jazz mold, I'd recommend the Alternity mold, it has magnets instead of posts & sockets to keep the front tires aligned in vehicle mode. Just be sure to get a stand/action base/something because his feet aren't flat. We're talking almost RoTF-Sideswipe-level feet.

Yeah, what are you talking about? I have Alternators Jazz, and his feet are great (albeit ugly), he's stable as a rock. Maybe you transformed them wrong?

Which is funny because in a weird turn of events, I'd like Universe Sunstreaker repainted into Alternators Dead End colors now. I really liked his paint scheme.
