... until a 3rd Party company comes with a new head for him, right?

With the first two final Alternity toys being mediocre at best, not sure we're even going to end up with Galvatron and Banzaitron in the end.

these aletrinity figures would have made great Human alliance deluxes. even if they couldn't jam a human inside the interior of the car. they could have included a human alliance basic robot with the 2 inch human & sold the set for around $15.99 to $19.99. SEEMS like a great idea for the 2012 trilogy movie verse toy line. they could even recolor the alternity figures & give them different persona names.

There's not as great a market in the West for these as there is in Japan. The U.S. TF market consists primarily of children, whereas the Japanese TF market consists mainly of collectors.Tidalwavex wrote:i'm still baffled why hasbro never sold these in america.

Probably because it's a different line than what is currently selling. And not in scale with the Human Alliance figures.
I'd like to see an Alternators Renaissance in the near future with new molds/car models being licensed.
I'm very disappointed in the Alternity line. Only 4 unique molds, yet Takara managed to milk this line dry. Was originally excited when I heard of plans for new characters such as Goldbug, but simple repaints just aren't tempting me when I've already got at least 2 different repaints of each (except Megatron of which I own none).
