Prepare for some eye candy! This photo shoot features the recently released BT-18, and compares the four versions of the Ford GT mold released in the Alternators (Mirage and Rodimus), Kiss Players (Hot Rodimus), and Binaltech (BT-18 Rijie) lines.

I know technically KP Rodimus and clear Mirage aren't Alternators but I have all four and I'm at my limit for tolerating this mold. Its a nice one, no question, but enough's enough. I was doing a count of my 27 Alts the other day and this is what I get:
Impreza: 3
Viper: 3
Wrangler: 3
Corvette: 3
RX-8: 2
Mustang: 2
S2000: 2
RSX: 2
Ram: 2
GT: 2
Scion: 1
Civic: 1
Jaguar: 1
Of 27 Alts, there are only 13 molds. More than half the Alts are repaints and/or have slight remolding (heads/spoilers/rims/etc).
If I add the four KP/BTs I have:
GT: 2
Impreza: 1
RX-8: 1
That's still 13 molds across 31 robots. Kinda sad and by far, the GT is the most overdone in my collection. Beautiful? Yes but no more please.

Hi everyone, I'm new in here ^^
Rodimus it is my favourite alternators…. so I wish I can get all 4 of them as well, but…………………. @_@ $$$
MrFX
I pre-ordered and met my self-imposed "spend on an Alternator $$$-limit", but it was worth it. I've got all 4 as well. Just goes to show. Even if there's only a SMALL chance that you'd be interested in a toy, pre-order just in case, because you can always cancel. I can't believe the prices that he's going for now. Simply astonishing.

i'll echo this sentiment. ive only the regular mirage and alt roddy, but given a choice between kp rod and trans rod, id go with the kp version. i love the red stripes on red look. the trans version is nice and all, but most likely favoured due to rarity/exclusivity.
KA
muuuuurh wants kp rod

I don't think you could pay me to get any of these. Not a fan of the Alternators line. Fan of cars in general, so I like the car modes on the Alternators line, but good to look at and good to own are not the same in this case. But that is a cool pic of all of them.
MV75
Nope, far from it.
I hate clear/transparent transformers. They look like total shit no matter how exclusive or expensive you make them. I wouldn't even swap 10 sdcc rodimus for one, which I can go down to my local store and buy. ha ha Ohh ouch.
My dislike of clear toys is so much that skids would get on my list ahead of it, and I hate that scion heap of shit, but I love the ford gt. But a clear one? No bloody way.

I doubt it. I agree with MV75.
Against a black background, BT-18 looks decent. Anywhere else, though, and it's, "Oh, look, there goes a black car interior with some tires and floating racing stripes." It's worse than Wonder Woman flying her jet.

Ditto!
But I'm kickin myself for not gettin KP Roddy Just keep tellin myself "3 outta 4 ain't bad… 3 outta 4 ain't bad…"
The Rage
Just jealous cause you didn't get one.

I really think that this gallery goes to show (me) how out of place the Alt deco of Rodimus looks in comparison with the other 3. Factory accurate alt modes FTW!

I still think the SDCC Rodimus is the best looking one.
Rabbit
Ditto. At the time I thought it was might expensive but damn, it has the current going rate beat.

Glad I pre-ordered the clear Mirage! I can't believe the prices on them now.

Kiss Pla Hot Rodimus

Which one is the red with white stripes?

I'm so glad I've been lucky enough to get all four

I'm starting to regret not getting BT-18. Of course, now that the wife finally has a job it's $200, too much for an Alternator.
