Frontpaged on TFW2005 so it's good enough for me. Arcee is a great choice. Small sleek sexy body for her. Awesome. A BT I care about getting.

The green one I suspect is an 'omage' to movie ratchet given the selections of Jazz, Arcee so far.

Honestly, these don't look genuine at all. I saw 'em here

F2F has them up for preorder (http://www.fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp.htm). $45 is good for a dicast Convoy and Arcee is looking nice although I would have prefered they went with the orininally proposed Wildrider in silver.

BBTS has them up for preorder (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=7) too, not that it means much, since they'll list anything that is only a rumour.

Arcee would be nice, but she'd be popular and sell out quick. Neon Prime however it just wrong.

That Prime is a prototype.

Arcee's head will be different as well as the wheels and spoiler.

With the renewed interest in TFs they might at some point. I think there's a licensing cost that needs to be worked out too. THe higher price points I don't mind personally but I hope that this is the starting of them looking for new molds to use. Takara after all is more adult-minded about its TFs these days too so there's hope yet we'll see new molds.

I do hope that convoy repaint is a hoist.

Does anyone mind if I rename this thread? I keep reading it as B1 and B2 and thinking of Bananas in Pyjamas! :)

I would like the Arcee, but not so sure about a green version of the Convoy/Prime truck (although if called Hoist like STL suggests that would sucker me in)

What did I call the topic again? My apologies for bad naming tho I will say there's nothing wrong with B1 and B2! :)

And yep, Iceburn, I'd be a definite sucker like Paulbot.

But if you think about it the whole line is virtually for suckers like us. ;)

I doubt the Convoy would be die-cast - that mould has never been done as Die Cast. Takara may have beefed it up, but TakaraTomy aren't quite as generous.

Still, live in hope, I guess.

That Japanese text does actually say that BT Convoy will be die-cast.

A Ram mold was created for diecast but not used due to the expense untill e-Hobby funded BT-17 Black Convoy.

I heard that the metal used for Black Convoy wasn't actually diecast either, it was something cheaper. Also there are a few pieces of the body of Black Convoy theat arn't metal, which isn't unusual for BINALTECH.

Angolz (http://www.angolz.com/home/categoryBrowse.aspx?seriesId=264) ha preorders up for BT-19 and BT-20 for USD$43 each, so I'm sure BT -21 and BT-22 will be the same when they go up. Air Parcel (registered delivery in 7-10 days) for 2 BTs is about $25.

Just picked up BT-16 Skids for a rather reasonable $58 as well. :D

I wish they had made an Ironhide and Ratchet out of the Skids mold.

Its not heard because you only need to pain the mold red to get the Ironhide look and for Ratchet, just use a repainted Prowl head and paint the mold white with Ambulance detailing.

I guess that ultimately what prevented them from doing so was the license limitations that they had with the car companies.

F2F have a second image up of BT-21 Arcee

It's a photoshopped recolor of the previous image (for better or worse).

link (http://www.fantofan.jp/earlybirdsp/bt-21hardtop2.jpg)

It looks more like Legion from Kiss Pla. (Which to me is a good thing :P )

Not so much Arcee as "white transformer" now.

I actually prefer the robot mode in that light pink.

What.... that's not what I ordered! I do like the car mold a lot but if it's not pink then it's not Arcee. :(

What the hell is that supposed to be? It doesn't even look like a Fembot. Stupid designers. :mad:

oh no!!!!! refund refund refund!!!
we want PINK BT ARCEE

Paulbot

It's photoshopped but it does beg the question what do BT 21 and BT 22 really look like?

Apart from the Autobot symbol this looks a bit more like a Megaplex to me.

Speculation on TFW2005 is that it might be the Paradon Medic, in which case we might see another dual release :rolleyes:

Tailgate makes alot more sense with that color scheme actually.

I emailed F2F about the image and this is the reply I got:


Hi

The picture came from an updated offer sheet forwarded from another source of mine, but they are all proto type picture, the description on the item did not indicate there will be multiple colors or it has change from pink to blue, for all we know the blue one might actually be the older proto picture created and the pink one is the later one.


So there's nothing definate about it yet as it may just be an early concept color scheme. Although I still prefer it to the pink version...

Good call on Tailgate, it makes sense to repaint Windcharger as Tailgate, (even if the Binaltech version wasn't Windcharged). I'd prefer Tailgate to Paradron Medic.

What he said.

But didn't everyone just call the BT version Windcharger anyway? Cos I did. I love the concept of Tailgate though.

I certainly don't. It's red and black with a face clearly sculpted on Overdrive. Hasbro misnaming it after a grey and red Autobot never impressed me one bit.
