    Is that chrome missiles on Henkei Prowl, or just glare? Weird that Sideswipe and Streak don't have the chrome apps that Sunstreaker and Prowl have (perhaps they're just displaying hasbro versions?). The better photos of Powerglide make him look sweet as too!

    According to F2F front page, that Nissan is a Convoy! Seems like a weird choice to me.. they must like milking their popular characters!

    In that case, when you focus in on this pic: http://www.fantofan.jp/news/event/to...8/DSC00324.jpg

    The head looks kinda like the RID/Car Robots version: http://www.seibertron.com/images/toy...usprime090.jpg

    Or maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there?

    That sure is a strange character to homage in Binaltech form...

    I just experienced my first multiple toygasm.. that BINALTECH GT-R and Macross Frontier VF-25S are porno for technical fans

    It does seem kinda weird that they would release two Convoys so close together but trying to figure out Takara's logic always gives me headaches. The Dodge Ram was intended by Hasbro to be someone else (Ironhide(?)) however due to the expense of the mold Takara insisted on it being Convoy. I don't care what they call it - if I don't like it I rename it. :P Arcee for example will become Legion arter a transex change - consisting mostly of painting her pink bits black.

    Thundercracker is predictable but necessary.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    Yup the VF-25 does look really nice which surprises me since Bandai have never done Valkyries well (although the 1/55 VF-1 does hold some charm). And its in perfect scale with the Yamato 1/60 range so I'm absolutely stoked! Oh, and the GT-R looks hot too (more excited by the Valkyries though).
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you

    looks like deluxe scale alternators. Awesome. I will buy.

    Also henkei deluxe cars look heaps better than the universe classics counterparts.

    Sunstreaker is actually painted and not just a bland yellow plastic

    Wow! They are chromed!

    That confirms it 100% Its Henkei all the way for me!

    I also like Sunstreaker more G1 lemon yellow rather than the cheap @ss Hasbro recycled plastic yellow.

    Love that MP Cracker!

    I am not sure who the BT will be, the head seems a little strange. Looks like a 'con.

    Wow! I can't wait!

    Unless you're joking you're going to be waiting a very long time, or you know something I don't

    Quite a few different companies are going to have to put their grievances aside for Jetfire to be re-released.

    Where is everyone getting prices from? Alternity deluxes at 50 bucks? I highly doubt that. I'd think more to the point of henkei price points for deluxes unless it contains diecast and junk.
