I have a crazy theory that Alternity Starscream's car mode is a homage to Chris Latta's role as Cobra Commander, based on the car's name being derived from a Japanese snake monster.

I just looked at the prices at BBTS. $70US for a usb hub is pretty steep. I given an estimate of around $50AU+shipping when I pre-ordered it at Toywholesaler last year.

The BBTS page mentions the price-hike, possibly some mould or licensing changes is my guess since they'd also account for the delay/cancellation/relisting.

has the starscream alternity been announced anywhere else? or is this the first we have heard of it? Usually there are some prototype photos out around 4-5 months before the release, and BBTS have the new alternity stated as arriving march? There havent even been any official statements or prototype photos released by takara yet. I'll believe it when i see it.

Good news, though with my strict budget this year, I just hope that I can afford.

There's no reason not to believe BBTS' listings .. and they've also been posted on Digital Toys' website.

My thoughts? Long live Carscream, all you Trukk not Monkeyer's! :D
Whilst i'm slightly disappointed that this pretty much puts the kibosh on any non-car alt modes for Alternity, i'm glad the line i like the most is continuing.
I imagine they will take cues from the typical Seeker style robot, and the car is a nice obscure model, something pretty different to the realistic car modes we've had in the past.

I eagerly await pictures!

Just noticed Robot Kingdom has relisted Blaster too, and at least for the time being, it's listed at $49.90 vs $71.99 at BBTS.
