Alternity Convoy (silver ver)

[Lint]

Nope, car-primes still dont do it for me but I definitely like the colours on the red one. Very striking. If they make more of these the small size will give collectors much display value.

Aaarh so photgenic.

I like the Alternities. They nice and cool, small Binaltechs. I thought the transformation would be more complex than what it actually is though. Still all excited now!

Man I love the box!


Lightpiping! Woooooooo!

Perhaps I should've cleaned his Groing before this shot....

I got both the red and silver versions today. Opted to open the red and have a play with it.

Packaging - Love it!

The toy it's self, very nice figure. Nice solid design, somewhat easy transformation.

When Binaltech/Alternators were first released and we saw the first pics of Smokescreen I couldn't wait! Then I got Smokescreen and fell in love with the figure.

And I feel I would have had the same feeling with this figure had it been a character like Smokescreen, Bluestreak, or even Prowl.

But as a Convoy/Optimus Prime figure? No. Doesn't work for me. And that's the one thing I have against the figure.

Nice pics Tetsuwan. The macro on my camera doesn't seem to work all that well compared to the super close up's you had. Could be a combination of a lot of other things but I need to fiddle around with it more. It is just a consumer model camera.

With those pictures, I'm not keen on the silver specks in the paintjob of the silver version. So i'm glad I went with the red version.

This is a great toy! If anyone isn't buying this just cause it's Optimus Prime and not a better suited character, forget about that and get one!

I only have one minor complaint.. that is, the leg transformation squishes the pieces too tightly. On going back to car mode, the back windshield plastic has very tiny dents from the compression in robot mode.

Great review and pics.

I really like the look of Optimus in silver, it makes him look stylish (as if he wasn't enough already!)
