Giggity.
For those who aren't fans of Family Guy, two words:
Hell yeah!
If this figure is even half as awesome as he looks, we're in for a treat.
Any reccomendations as to the best place to pre-order him?

But Alternity Convoy is very, very, very small.

He's pretty much the size he was mentioned he'd be. There were old comparison shots to him and delux movie BB. Is he a fair toy for his price range though...I'm not to sure about it, but I'm getting him anyway. He won't be Prime to me, just a new character.

The detailing visible in this pic is petty impressive... all the little panel lines and rivets/bolts/whatevers. Very nice stuff!

I had a pre-order with BBTS but TFSource is a few bucks cheaper, so I canceled the one and pre-ordered with TFSource.

If Takara goes the same route with Grimlock they went with Starscream I'm gonna hunt you down and do nasty things to you!

And that is bad why?
The fact that he looks like his G1 counterpart, but with extra detailing and articulation, is what makes it specially attractive.

My interest in Grimlock is rising.

Thanks for the tip, TDD.
I'll keep that in mind.
I would pre-order MP Grimlock this very minute, except for two things.
First off, I ain't got the money available. Lol...
Seconldy, I'm kind of hoping that there will be a US release of this figure.
Didn't we hear for so very long about how there would never be an MP Grimlock because he was more popular in the US than in Japan?
So why would Has/Tak/To finally create this figure if they don't intend to release him officially in the US?
Or am I just deluding myself?

They look nice and I may eventually get just a red Prime and silver or blue Megatron but really, they're far too small for the price. I don't know why they switched from 1:24 to 1:36 and kept them the same price. If you ask me, it's a rip off. I'll wait until late next year or 2010 and they might have them on clearance or something.
I agree. The Alternity are too expensive for the size.
MP Grimlock looks better with each picture. I do like the details like the rivets and angular jaw hinge.
Two things I question: The gun - we haven't seen it yet. I really hope Takara doesn't skimp on the gun because it is more important than a tray of glasses. The other thing I wonder - can his right arm bend? In every picture that we have seen so far it has been straight. I imagine that the right arm will have the battery in it.

I see no reason why it wouldn't bend. You can clearly see that he has the same hinges on both his left and right legs/arms in dino mode.

And MP Grimlock, will he be state side? I don't want to order him from Japan just to have Customs destroy him thinking he's some sort of dinosaur terrorist bomb.

Alternity is the "follow" up to Binaltech basically though they are quite a bit smaller than Binaltechs. Mostly Diecast, very articulated, and with real car alt modes.
So far Nissans, different models, for both Convoy and Megatron. In two colors for each
As for Grimlock, one ca only hope Hasbr0 will decide to release it over here.
So far nothing has been said.

I didn't see if there were any colorized pics of the prototype, so sorry if this has been done already. It's been a while since I did one of these photo edits, but here is one I quickly shopped together.
Can't wait for this figure!
