Looks cool, but reminds me alot of Jazz instead of Prime.
I remember when the first transformers toys had metal parts. Couldn't articulate worth crap, but could take a good banging.

Looks great in car mode, dunno bout robot mode however. I dislike how his entire torso is made of the cars front half, need a little more transforminatoring for that, but I guess that would bump up the price.

I'm starting to think the ones released as Hasbro in NA are cheaper. Maybe... Anyways the Prime looks gorgeous.

hmm... I do believe this is the first transformer toy posted by Danny? ^^ hopefully Danny gets more. ^^
although I can't shake the feeling that Prime's body wouldn't fit transforming into a car, it still does look really cool.

I just have one question regarding these, how do they scale up in terms of the other toys in the Transformers franchise? Are they as tall as the deluxe class cars or something along the line? Because if they are, then I'll be really tempted in getting them... haha! ^^;

Same scale as the movie's deluxe class, which should be around 1:24 (Binaltech/Alternators were about 1:20, if i'm not mistaken).

Aw man, Danny, you managed to get yours? I was supposed to get my silver edition of Prime back in March, but was lost in that FedEx cargo plane crash. I've been waiting and wating and the suppliers still haven't sent the new batch to replace the lost merchandises at the store that I've got it ordered from.

Transformer looks great. You sometimes wonder how all the transformer mass would fit in such a tiny car. ^^;

GT-R Prime, eh? The head looks pretty nice and the body is similar to his Convoy body too, but I do miss the red and blue parts.

There's a red and blue version that pays homage to the original colour scheme. That one was released sometime back in March. I never bothered picking that one up, simply because the silver edition looked cooler to me.

Hmm... Is this series equivalent to US released "Alternators" series?
I have a silver Subaru Impreza WRX in that series, and it's freakin hard to transform.

It's the upgrade, so to speak. Smaller in scale but at least as expensive as an Alternator (though Alternators are all plastic).
Yeah, they have pretty complex transformations. Barely made 10 minutes without the manual the first time I transformed mine.
Engineer
http://philabong.webs.com/
Note quite. The Alternator's series (American counterpart to Binaltech series) are a little bigger than this new Alternity series. The scale of the Alternity series is 1:24, while the Alternator/Binaltech series look like 1:20, though it's never quite stated. Someone might want to check that.

The Alternators line is the plastic version of japans 'Binaltech' line, which has been around for some time now ^^v

Look's pretty badass.

The Alternity Optimus's Sword reminds me of Sword Strike's sword
doer of things
that IS the Strike's sword. that was a custom model. And it made me chuckle

Pretty wicked indeed. XD

Ah, yes, a bit smaller than Binaltechs/Alternators, but much more detailed. Do get your hands on a Megatron Danny. A good looking robot itself (better than Prime's in my opinion).
I would be so much more excited for these if they were the same scale as Binaltechs/Alternators.

having no idea on the size of the Binaltech/Alternators, how do you compare the size of Alternities to the Deluxe Class figures from let's say... the movie franchise?
Overman
http://myplasticmoustache.blogspot.com/
Hmm, the alt mode of Prime would be as big as Bumblebee's.

Hm... pretty cool.
Not really a big fan of transformers in general, but I still thought it was pretty cool.

Oh by the way Danny (if ya happen to be reading this >.<)..It seems that my user name and password for my DC.com account can't be used to login to Figure.FM....
I did remember seeing a post saying that DC.com accounts will be usable in Figure.fm for logging in under certain terms and conditions....Or was that just my misunderstanding.??..heheheheh

You need to have been registered for a certain length of time and have posted a number of comments. I think it's a month and 50 comments, but it's been so long since those requirements have been relvant to me that I wasn't really paying attention. ^^;
Do note that this is at the time Danny took a snapshot of the DC database. Not sure when the last snapshot is though.

Easily the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. To be honest though, the silver made me think that was Megatron until I took a closer look at the Autobots insignia.

Though I do like the alternate forms idea, some of them did not come out so great. (Grimlock as a 2 door coupe, anyone?) Still, these look cool.
???Confused???
Really awesome, but I'd have to say I'd like the black in vehicle mode and silver in the transformed mode...

!!!!Danny, HALP!!!!!
I tried registering at figure.fm, and it won't let me. What I mean is, I made an account, and went to my email, and I couldn't find the registration email. I even checked my spam, and it wasn't there.
thnx for any help you can give me Danny.

As a fairly long-time Transformers fan, I am now officially jealous of your new SATF (Suddenly Acquired Transformer). :P
Though admittedly, I never really had much interest in diecast construction on toys and such; I've always liked tinkering with my collection every now and then in addition to displaying them, and diecast doesn't usually stand up to that. The weight of the diecast parts often means you won't be able to get the figure into certain poses due to balance issues - not to mention paint chipping off of parts that move a lot...... ^_^;
College Student
Awsome, a good looking transformers figure.
Can't help but think watching that video, that at some point you'll transform one bit wrong and snap off something important. lol.
College Freshmen
The painted one looks cool although I was never a transformers fan. Don't really like Transformers after watching the second movie.
http://iron2000.blogspot.com
Got the red version of that Convoy and the silver version of Megatron.
Making at least 3 colors for each design in the series, its going to be hard on collectors.
Next in the series is a Suzuki Swift Bumblebee.
Don't think I'll continue with Alternity though.

Transformers look awesome. I will try to get the silver one. I love the movie transformers and the game transformers, so collected some good articles and sites, around 200, for transformers movie and video game. If you are interested check out the link below
