Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR The all famous Nissan GTR Skyline gets converted into Convoy (Optimus Prime) in the new Transformers alternity line
From the C3 X Hobby show in Japan
The real GTR was on display too!!!
He looks good, I ordered the red version, I hope it looks equally good as well!
Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR The first new mold looks very nice and I think I'll probably get the red one as it's a more fitting color for Prime.
It'd be cool if Takara could get Volkswagen & Porsche on board for this line as we might then get the New Beetle Bumblebee and Porsche Boxster Jazz that were planned for Binaltech/Alternators but ended up being cancelled due to both companies reluctance to have their products associated with anything that could be related to war.
One of the major sticking points was the fact that they included guns so as this Prime doesn't appear to have any I'm thinking that maybe it's a deliberate move by Takara so they can go back to VW & Porsche and pitch this new line as just being "transforming robots" with nothing war related being included.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR I like the red one better with the character being Convoy/Optimus Prime but the silver one is still pretty cool and could easily work as Silverstreak/Bluestreak.
I'm intrested to see what other cars get used in this line.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR There's a rumor on some of the TF sites that the next Alternity character will be Megatron which isn't much of a suprise but if true the car he turns into is a VERY familiar one to Transformers fans.
Alternity Megatron is said to turn into a Nissan Fairlady Z which was the alt mode of G1 Prowl,Bluestreak and Smokescreen!
Obviously it'll be the most recent incarnation of the car and while I'm not entirely sure that it suits Megatron I'd still like to see it as it would make customs of the 3 Autobots pretty easy to do.
