I like the Nissan Fairlady Z design alot!
I wonder what other cars they will use next?
Some of the speculation I've read suggests it may be a Nissan only line but I hope Takara have done some deals with other car companies as well.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
Alternity Megatron looks totally badass!,
( silver )

( blue )

I think I'll get the silver one as I'll also be getting the G1 inspired version of Convoy though I have to say I really like the blue one too.
Earlier in the thread I speculated about Takara getting other car companies on board for this line, so far there's no others announced but I've reason to believe that VW are changing their policy towards allowing their various companies cars to be used for "war like" toys,
In Revenge of the Fallen,the Decepticon Sideways transforms into an Audi A8.
Audi are a subsidiary of VW so if they're OK about letting one of their cars be in the movie ( as a bad guy ) then maybe they'll be more open to letting Takara do an Alternity New Beetle Bumblebee or Porsche Boxster Jazz like they originally wanted to for the Binaltech line.
One other way I'd like to see Takara go is license other vehicle types than sports cars,ie a real life ambulance for Ratchet,a crane for Grapple etc etc.
These licenses likely wouldn't cost as much as all the big name sports cars and also allow for a bit more variety which the BT/Alternators lines lacked.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
Both Megs look great, but Megs usually is silver, so I'm leaning towards that. Dual- wield swords makes it similar to the animated Megatron! :mega

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
Yep, getting Silver MEGS for sure.
The swords are definitely a reference to the animated Megatron.
But I kinda prefer Megatron with big ass cannons.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
I'd also prefer Megatron to have at least 1 BFG but there's nowhere for it to go in car mode so that's probably why they went with the swords which are also a nice nod to the Animated version of the character.
Takara have updated their site and on the Alternity page have revealed a blacked out image of a 3rd release,
http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/alternity/alternity.html
The car appears to have a rear spoiler and some of the speculation so far has suggested the possibility of it being a Lamborghini as the outline is very similar to that of the Sunstreaker mold released recently in the Universe and Henkei lines.
It's probably more likely to be a black "Nemesis" repaint of Convoy that's had a spoiler added and but if it does turn out to be one of the Lambos ( with the inevitable repaints ) then I'll be a very happy bunny indeed as not only are the G1 twins two of my favorite characters it also means my theory about VW's shift in policy is true because Lamborghini are also a subsidiary of VW

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
A first look at Nemesis Convoy and some new pics of Megatron,
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/alternators-10/coverage-from-the-takaratomy-summer-exhibition-including-alternity-megatron-and-convoy-super-black-167412/
So much for the speculation about the Lamborghinis but I suppose there's still a chance for Takara to get them onboard for a future release.

Re: Takara Transformers Alternity Convoy GTR
Pass on Nemesis Convoy... I still think the red Convoy is the better looking of the 3.
Can't wait to get Silver Megs though!!!
