I'm loving the mecha look. I'm still getting these, got them on earlybird @hlj last month afterall.
As for cheating, well, mp prime cheated as well, and it's the best one.

Yeah, they're 'cheating' on that chest plate, but it works. Almost feels like they are over-compensating with the stripes on the insides of the doors tho.
They are looking fantastic tho, thanks Kurt.You mention the stripes, do u mean on their wings? I think the wings are the bonnet and boot; on (our) left, Starscream's wing definitely has the shape of the boot piece from the car pic. The car doors seem to be on the waist, kinda like an MP Seeker tribute!

No love for Stunticons who should be really deserving the Alternity treatment.

Will definately be pre ordering these. One question though, I currently have the chogokin drossel figure on pre order, if i pre order these, will they not ship my drossel until the seekers are released? If so i'll wait till my drossel is shipped then pre order the seekers.

Going against the trend I think, but I don't like Skywarp much. I'm glad I waited for pics instead of preordered these sight unseen.

I like these toys, they have a look all there own, much like the previous Megatron Black repaint. While the Alternetety toys look great their similarity to Binaltech and high cost has been the main thing holding me back from getting one. if they start to get there own look, then I might have to get some. As Sky Shadow said a bit of backstory would help to.
It depends when you placed the order, once a month has passed HLJ will ship the item regardless of any other orders.

Yeah, the actual doors are forming the waist sheaths like Kawamori put on the MP seekers. And yeah, I was referring to the lines on the pieces forming the 'wings' (which are indeed non-symmetrical) being reminiscent of the outline of the F-15 wings.NW
The pieces overhanging the shoulders have the same coloring as the respective F-15 intake schemes as well. Looks like they are trying to create the stabilisers on the shins too. The head designs still confuse me a bit tho but I kinda like them.
I personally still think it's a fugly looking car tho. Like the bastard child of a Diablo and McLaren which was left out in the sun and half melted... And the inherent large panel lines of the 1:32 scale don't help, especially the hood.
Partially, MP Prime didn't cheat in the same way as this is. That chest piece looks completely separate to the outer shell, where as Prime retained the windows and swapped the grill. That chest is almost an abstract motif for the Okamora Orochi as opposed to using actual parts.
Like Zed said, depends who you ordered from. I have my orders with amiami - if items arrive at roughly the same time they will ship them together, otherwise you can request that orders be combined in their customer notes section when ordering. HLJ process orders about twice a week, although with larger shipments they may start processing immediately.
Drossel rules - I have the Figma version and adore it.
Which brings us to where we are today...
