And now, for a barrage of Transformer pr0n. No, not tranny pr0n, thank goodness.<\/p>\n


\nThis is the closest I’ll ever get to a car blog. The Toyota Supra actually lights up!<\/p>\n


\nNo, this is not a Transformer Alternator – in fact, it is a knock-off.<\/p>\n


\nRoadbot<\/b> transforms like Transformers Alternator Tracks<\/b>, but without the horribly tight leg pegs. The rear booster bit is now detachable, making transforming a lot easier.<\/p>\n


\nAnother innovation would be how the lights from the engine can then be reused on the weapon, to light up the side boosters!<\/p>\n


\nHe doesn’t have a bonnet that splits in the middle; instead, they made him a shield. So much cleverer.<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for a real Transformer Alternator – Optimus Prime<\/b>, a Dodge Ram pickup truck.<\/p>\n


\nBlue, red and badass. (Okay, just imagine that his rifle is a sawed-off shotgun instead.)<\/p>\n


\nAnd here he is, with Sideswipe<\/b> the Dodge Viper and Windcharger<\/b> the Honda S2000.<\/p>\n


\nBluestreak<\/b> the rally Subaru Impreza, with Tracks<\/b> (that clunky Chevy Corvette) and Skids<\/b> the majorly pimpin’ Toyota Scion xB.<\/p>\n


\nJuveniles versus the authority: From left, Grimlock<\/b> the Ford Mustang GT, Meister<\/b> the Mazda RX-8, Prowl<\/b> the American Acura RSX (Honda Integra for the rest of the world) and Hound<\/b> the Jeep Wrangler.<\/p>\n


\nHere, Optimus is pictured in scale to Skids (left), Hound (right) and Grimlock (in front).<\/p>\n


\nThe Dodge SRT-10 family.<\/p>\n


\nThe Honda family.<\/p>\n


\n“Autobots, roll out.<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, Roadbot makes a guest appearance. Yep, he’s a clunker at 1:18 scale (the Alternators are 1:24 only.)<\/p>\n

I intentionally omitted Transformers Alternator Silverstreak<\/b> in favor of Transformers Binaltech Smokescreen<\/b> for the photoshoot.<\/p>\n


\nBut that’s not all! I only bought one Transformers Cybertron figure and one Transformers Galaxy Force figure because I was collecting motorcycles, but I broke that by getting this major pimpin’ muscle car.<\/p>\n


\nPimp my ride.<\/b><\/p>\n


\nLeft: Transformers Cybertron Downshift<\/b>. Right: Transformers Energon Powerlink Downshift<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nYes, he does look quite like Wheeljack<\/b> of yore.<\/p>\n


\nHe’s smaller, but he’s finally got leg articulation (the older Downshift on the right couldn’t bend at the waist!)<\/p>\n


\nOkay, that’s it. Really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
