Orochi's engine is in the middle, so there isn't much in the front. On the other hand, that just makes the emptiness in the back a lot more disappointing. :/
i wasn't pleased at all with megatron and i suffered through bumblebee and cliffjumper but they looked good with my alternators. but THIS one... i like the car and the 'bot mode. i would just rather have a skywarp for sentimental reasons.
The alternate vehicle mode, whice is too diffucult for me to attempt to type, looks somewhat organic with the smooth lines and holes everywhere. It is near erection worthy, in the honest opinion of this individual.
Is Convoy asking for the 'Holy Floating Head' to save him just a refrence to your Dragonzord review or is there a deeper thing there? I just thought in the original he was refering to Zordon. Nice review as always!
Not gonna lie , this design would've worked great for a movie transformer figure , switch the head redo the back kibble and we have a great character design , maybe this could've been used for TLK Drift .
The more I looked at the head the more it made me think of the animated Starscream head with bugeyes, maybe Waspinator and Starscream got spliced together somehow?
I call him Waspiscreamer because he looks like a fusion between Starscream and Waspinator with the bug-like eyes and the chest that looks like a bug's head. Reminds me of the episode where Starscream took over Waspinator's body. Could this perhaps be a fanservice to Beast Wars fans? XD
Everything you said, Vange1us... 100% AGRREEMENT!!! -Weird but acceptable head, keeps with the aesthetic of weird bug eye headlights everywhere -Giger Aesthetic... it's a car... it's got lots of bug looking bits... it's Biomechanoid which is very appropriate considering these are giant sentient robots. -Those wings really really really should line up... I think it would've easy to have them "silhouette" almost symmetrically... but alas they look unlevel and less perceivable as actual wings.
Got one of these at a Comic-Con. It's still mint in-box. Figured I would keep it more like a collector since it's a Japanese figure. Came here cuz I wanted to see the transformation sequence.
@autobotrockstar2 I don't think it sounded overly stiff myself, but it was cut down from an initial runtime of ~16 min. That may have caused a tonal discrepancy which affected your experience. D:
I actually really like the look of this one, in both robot and car mode (the flying mode seems kinda silly with the tiny wings XD). When I saw it in car mode I though maybe a bit of blue would go well, but it wouldn't suit the robot mode :P
Ø555Ø Head look a bit like Cobra, I mean the "ears" part. I don't know how you do the voice and animation. BUT ITS REALLY COOL! I like it. Same like the GN-Archer. Man, you good.
Nice review man, Starscream for some reason really looks cool. even with the odd choices for him. Alternity has some freakin awesome back stories on these characters.
oh my unicron you're right optimus always thinks Mr.screamer are an coward so they make an remix of them 1.the head is an mix of Mr.prime and Mr.screamer as you said 2.they are both able to fly ......... wait what Mr.prime can't fly .....OH wait (more then meets the eye episiode 4) WOW i am realy grudges.
I love this figure, i love his head sculpt. Skywarp is very underwhelming and Mr Vangelus i shall send you a hamper with hams, cheeses and at least one bottle of sherry for such a fine review!
Great review :) ...Not so great a toy tho imo. This would have to be one of the few starscream figures i wouldn't be tempted to get. Starscream, as a car, just dosent work. End of story.
Did Starscream just _"De-evolve"_ Alternity Convoy? Ostensibly that's what he's doing. I have no idea what Retroactive Nullifiers actually do and even then I would probably have to learn about as-of-yet nonexistent aspects of science to understand how they do what they do. Anyone?
@clayonicle i know man, but what storyline are you guys seeing? i know the color isnt meant to be right but lets be honest, thats not starscream lol. ITS NOT REAL!
I think these seekers have a pretty interesting design, and I don't know anything about cars. And for those who say ""not Starscream", I respect your opinion. But if you think about it, the "robots in disguise" line doesn't exactly work with military vehicles. Sports cars are a lot more common in public.
@Vange1us i was being exaggerated for comedic effect there are some of your reviews that weren't as amazing like say Kamen rider week which was fahmazing even though i had no interest in kamen rider then!
O_O I'm glad I was going for Alternity Bee/Cliff. He's an interesting toy, but I prefer the MP seekers. Still, I have to give props to Takara for the complex engineering on this guy :3
The whole review felt like one of your narrated montages but in a bad way. I don't know but it didn't feel right to me. Am I insane or is there just something I'm missing?
You'd make a good sales rep. :D Nice review. Megatron is fearless now. :D Flying car mode like in Mask. lol Full of flaws but what more can we do. Good point on the fake car hood. Just like animated bumblebee. I don't see the point of having them do that.

Same

The "trunk" is the engine, the "hood" is the trunk. The engine is in the rear.
Is Convoy asking for the 'Holy Floating Head' to save him just a refrence to your Dragonzord review or is there a deeper thing there? I just thought in the original he was refering to Zordon.
Nice review as always!
That is not an HR Giger car. It doesn't have anything even remotely shaped like a phallus attached to it.
This alienates starscream fans
Is this mitsuoka orochi?
Nice take on the Chris Latta StarScream voice. Points earned.
Not gonna lie , this design would've worked great for a movie transformer figure , switch the head redo the back kibble and we have a great character design , maybe this could've been used for TLK Drift .
these toys are something else. doubt we’ll ever see anything like them ever again
Nice review, Vangelus.
Oh god, the scene in the middle with Convoy and Starscream made me laugh. HARD. XD
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?! HIS CAR MODE RULES SO HARD!!!!!!
He got cool jet modes and awesome car mode, I wish they add blue and red
The car is a v6 that will do 0-60 in 5.7 sec and 152mph I guess that's not bad for 2006-2007. I personally like this car
The more I looked at the head the more it made me think of the animated Starscream head with bugeyes, maybe Waspinator and Starscream got spliced together somehow?
You are not the only Vangelus! The I find miksuoka orochi a quite attractive vehicle.
it seems like a thundercraker mold maybe the one to get. just because of the color and they way it accents this robot mode.
I feel that your transformation this time was more clear than it has been in the past. Keep it up!
A flying car mode? How droll!
(I never get tired of using that ref!)
so... if i were to buy an alternity, which one should i start with?
I call him Waspiscreamer because he looks like a fusion between Starscream and Waspinator with the bug-like eyes and the chest that looks like a bug's head. Reminds me of the episode where Starscream took over Waspinator's body. Could this perhaps be a fanservice to Beast Wars fans? XD
Well now we know why Megatron keeps failing...Alternity Starscream
What car is he
@ronin180x They have not yet been reviewed
i like ur tastes in artist who doesnt like giger he made the alien
it's the delorean from back to the future .... exept it's not an delorean ........ohhh nouuo.
Everything you said, Vange1us... 100% AGRREEMENT!!!
-Weird but acceptable head, keeps with the aesthetic of weird bug eye headlights everywhere

I love this vehicle mode, it a simply beautiful car. Strictly on the lines it is beautiful, I have no ideas about performance and Geiger car is GOOD!
so you do have the megs and prime so when will to reveiw them or have i missed it ????
Got one of these at a Comic-Con. It's still mint in-box. Figured I would keep it more like a collector since it's a Japanese figure. Came here cuz I wanted to see the transformation sequence.
He looks like some Shrine Maiden.
Great review! I don't like Starscream's head so i'll get Skywarp instead.
@autobotrockstar2 I don't think it sounded overly stiff myself, but it was cut down from an initial runtime of ~16 min. That may have caused a tonal discrepancy which affected your experience. D:
@narutoman876 It's perfectly valid to not enjoy a vid I make, that's the nature of opening one's media up for public discussion :)
@TheAmazingAitch Hamper cheeses are badass
Forgive my stupidity but What Prime figure was that after Starscream shot alternity convoy?
Holy shit. Who did the voice for Startscream? That was the closest Ive heard to the original.
I actually really like the look of this one, in both robot and car mode (the flying mode seems kinda silly with the tiny wings XD). When I saw it in car mode I though maybe a bit of blue would go well, but it wouldn't suit the robot mode :P
I like the Vehicle Mode too !!! I like more Skywarp and cant wait for Thundercracker !!
@forgotten1103 Aiee I was hoping maybe the flight mode troubles were just on mine :(
Ø555Ø
Head look a bit like Cobra, I mean the "ears" part.
I don't know how you do the voice and animation.
BUT ITS REALLY COOL!
I like it.
Same like the GN-Archer.
Man, you good.
that looks cool, when did this toy line come out an were are they sold?
Vehicle mode is boring, but Robot mode kicks ass!
@isaaccb You are the highlander
I really love your transformation background music. It's as though I'm being electrocuted.
love the car mode
wow awesome review. i will pick this one up at botcon. i will see you there
why dose the car have eyes
It's meant to look organic and resemble a dragon
Nice review man, Starscream for some reason really looks cool. even with the odd choices for him. Alternity has some freakin awesome back stories on these characters.
It'd doe's look great when you get over he not a jet I would get if I could I really like it.
I think that's a rear engine car.
have you seen the banzai tron Repaint of this?
late to the game but I'm grabbing this on ebay, if it's available....
@dude851884 Check out some Alternity tech specs, they totally got paradoxes covered
does anyone notice that scary face in vehicle mode
duggerboo oh my goodness that's Wired !!!!!!!
this figure looks extremely weird
Nice vehicle mode sucky robot mode
Yet another epic review, man! Loved it!
@mariobros2772 Thank you!
They're called bucket seats
I agree it's a really cool looking car
his face reminds me of the the symble for Kamen Rider Kuuga O _O
oh my unicron you're right optimus always thinks Mr.screamer are an coward so they make an remix of them 1.the head is an mix of Mr.prime and Mr.screamer as you said 2.they are both able to fly ......... wait what Mr.prime can't fly .....OH wait (more then meets the eye episiode 4) WOW i am realy grudges.
I love this figure, i love his head sculpt. Skywarp is very underwhelming and Mr Vangelus i shall send you a hamper with hams, cheeses and at least one bottle of sherry for such a fine review!
@Vange1us
IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY LISTENING TO G1 AUDIO!
wow awesome video. i might pick this up at botcon. i will see you there
Having a windshield on his wings just doesn't work for me.
it's weird to see starscream not being a jet
that car has a rear engine
i think it cool looking car mode
Great review :)
...Not so great a toy tho imo. This would have to be one of the few starscream figures i wouldn't be tempted to get. Starscream, as a car, just dosent work. End of story.

Anyone?
Why the shit do you people sound surprised thats this is a good review?
IT"S FUCKING VANGELUS OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE GOOD!!!
@clayonicle i know man, but what storyline are you guys seeing? i know the color isnt meant to be right but lets be honest, thats not starscream lol. ITS NOT REAL!

Carscream.. HAHAHAHA!
i think it looks cool! xD the car mode that is
It looks better as Banzaitron. I want that Banzaitron so much
car mode good robot mode is painfull to look at
i really love this design, if i could afford it, i would buy it in a second
XD
@Vange1us What about now? =3
Great review. Thanks to you, I changed my preorder to Skywarp. (And you are right that car does look amazing, let the haters hate!)
Should I get this or the rally car GT-R Megatron?
Great Review.
PS: I like the car mode, too.
@Vange1us ok sorry for bad English i can wait till you do
Why does this video make me feel like Im watching a cheesy ghost show
You should call car geeks what they call themselves "petrol heads".
@Vange1us i was being exaggerated for comedic effect there are some of your reviews that weren't as amazing like say Kamen rider week which was fahmazing even though i had no interest in kamen rider then!
Hm, this actually made my mind about buying him, yeah... definatly not happening. lol
Put super glue on the ball joints to tighten them up :)
This should have been tracks
@ShadowXZeos Starscream was me w/ a pitch shift and then a pile of fx tweaks
O_O I'm glad I was going for Alternity Bee/Cliff.
He's an interesting toy, but I prefer the MP seekers. Still, I have to give props to Takara for the complex engineering on this guy :3

Flying car mode like in Mask. lol
Full of flaws but what more can we do.
Good point on the fake car hood. Just like animated bumblebee. I don't see the point of having them do that.
@Vange1us Idk. Well anyway good review all the same. Keep em' comin!!!
@AdamDMurray Hahaha that's amazing
it's really cool and looks good... just not as Starscream
I think some paint work could totes improve the head. I think the sculpt is great, it looks like the paint and piping is what makes it odd.
