Damn, both Hound and Optimus look friggin awesome. It must be tough to make them look exactly like a car yet badass and cool in robot form so this is a really good effort.

I don't know why but I've had the urge to get Transformers lately, not just the G1 remakes but I've been browsing the local toy stores too... It's good to be a 10 year old trapped in a 24 year old body. :lol:
The local Walmart had an endcap full of Unicrons, so I suggested we recreate the last scene in the TF movie, but with Carebears. Yes, Carebears vs Unicron.
Unfortunately, she found that they had 3 foot tall Carebears. Unicron was defeated.
That Unicron figure is totally badass... I might spring for one after christmas, the thing is huge.Quote:

Well, as long as we're sitting around waiting for these new Transformers to be released, I thought it would be fun to compile a "wish list" of future Alternators.
Here is what I would like to see (in no way relates to what will actually happen):
*We need an Alternators Prowl, especially since rumors are flying about Bluestreak (Imprezza WRC). And even though tradition would have Prowl be another Imprezza since Smokescreen is a WRX and Bluestreak is a WRC, I want to see Prowl be a real police car for once in his existance. Choose some sort of Ford that is commonly used by police or something.
* I would love to see Bumblebee come back. Old or new Beetle, doesn't matter.
* Mirage would be really cool as a Mercedes sedan. He always had that aristocrat air about him.
* Gimme Brawn as a Hummer. He deserves to finally have a size that matches his strength.
* Wheeljack would be a cool Lancia Stratos.
* I would like to see Ironhide, but I don't know if he would be cooler as a full-size van or something like a Ford F150 or similar huge-ass pickup truck. I think I'm leaning towards pickup...
* Of course Sunstreaker needs to come back since we have Sideswipe. Make them identical in car mode, but have the robot totally different just like the orriginals where the car hood was Sideswipe's torso and Sunstreaker's feet.
* And finally, It would be really cool/humorous to see Soundwave come back as an HD TV with a 5.1 surround sound system. :) The main "center" (TV, stand, center speaker, subwoofer, DVD player, amp) could transform into Soundwave, the main left and right speakers could transform into Rumble and Frenzy, and the satalite speakers could transform into Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw. :D
Damnit, I always loved Hound, and that's a sexy little toy there. Must say no to temptation!
And if we're talking about dream Alternators, it'd be nice to finally see Starscream get a halfway decent model.
You know you want Hound, Shidoshi. Give in to the darkside. :)
And I would kill for a new Starscream done with that level of detail. It would kind of throw off the whole 24:1 scale they have going with this line (since he'd be huge at that size), but it wouldn't be the end of the world if one of the Alternators was a different (smaller) scale.
Currently, the Alternators/Binaltech line is set to only be 6 figures, with one rumored to be a Decepticon, most likely Starscream. If that's the case, there's only 2 more Autobots coming. =/ I'm sure if the line sells well (and I think it will) they will do more figures.
I'd love to see Megatron done as a realistic tank. I love the idea Chibi had for Soundwave. How about Jazz as a Porche Carrera GT?
