Batman's Tumbler... in the IDW comics.

Theres this Alpha Trion, it fits well in with G1 with die cast parts and all and sizewise as well with the generations line, but unfortunately falls short with your second category - stupid amount of cash....:(

Do you think they are making Alpha Trion a wolf or a lion (Lio Prime?) ? The picture is somewhat ambiguous.

As I've not read any comics with Alpha Trion in them can someone shed light on what he has previously (if ever) transformed into? I'm intrigued...

It would be cool if they could make A.T turn into a giant electronic quill that Primus would use to record history - though that may lack some play value for the youngsters

In the original cartoon and other comic lines he never transformed. In IDW he has transformed into a Batman-Tubler-Car-Thingie

BotCon's Alpha Trion turned into a lion. He was a repaint of Cybertron Snarl. The toy was never produced but the concept turned up in their fiction.

Bayformery type detail on Alpha Trion is also interesting. If they go with that much detail, they better not get skimpy with the paint or it will look awful.

While we're at it, I'd like to see how Alpha's lion mode stacks up to that of Cybertron's Leo/Nemesis Breaker and their Universe repaint Leo Prime.;)

On second thoughts I believe that's a wolf not a lion. Why do I say this? Look at the ear. It's pointy. Lion's don't have pointy ears.

Given the name "Alpha" if they were going for the beast theme a wolf would somewhat be logical, although the world of Transformers is rarely that...

I'm not sure I'm keen on Alpha Trion becoming a beast character although I am obviously bias to the G1 cartoon version. I always assumed he would be vehicular since he "created" Optimus and Elita as vehicles. He'd make a good tanker, or mobile library. ;)

I also wonder if they will portray him as a Prime (eg one of the 13 Primes) or just an ancient warrior... or a knight of some sort.

I am not sure if I am fan of the Beast Alpha Trion... I do have Botcon Alpha Trizer and Alpha Trion. So I will wait and see pictures before I decided to buy it or not :D

I'm thinking triple changer wolf/lion and space ship, judging from the images.
