The CyberGundam Blog has posted a new scan of the prototype of Alternity Convoy. This Japanese release, the first in the line of a 1/32 scale figures in the vein of Binaltech, has also been pushed back to a January 2009 release. The scan can be seen by clicking on the image to the left.

Thank you so much! Looks so awesome. I like how his head fits a sleek fast car but still looks like Prime.

Although I'm getting both versions, I would be a lot more enthusiastic if they were 1/24 scale.

crazy cool! i love prime and i love nissan gtr series. It's a perfect coincidence. And the model design looks nice
AutobotMarine
Oh that looks awesome! Can't wait till his he looks in color.
LatinJEM777
Ah. Looked at it again. Yep I totally see that now!
Type-R
To narrow the chest in bot mode so it does not look disproportionately wide (e.g. the RX-8 BT mold). The center of the grill tucks inside and the two halves close in together. I believe this is supposed to be an automorph feature on the figure.
SPLIT LIP
True that.
The only thing I don't like is the placement of the doors. they couldn't have found a more creative place to put them in bot mode?
LatinJEM777
I'm definitely getting this (Prime/Convoy collector), but why the split down the front of the car? That's what I want to know.
Ktulu
Looks awesome

if it isn't the size of the other binaltechs or altenators then i'm not interested. Also it being prime doesnt sound right to me either unless its a completly separte line.

Awesome seeing nearly everyone liking GT-R convoy.
I like the convoy more than everyone else >.>

yea and i don't know about 01, but 02, is an amazing toy, even if it doesn't have a great altermode, lol

Not really. I was implying the $54 price on BBTS isn't bad at all, when comparing it to the retail price in Japan.
Now, when you go "OMG! $50 for a deluxe!" (a general you, not you
), it seems like a horrid price, but I'm pretty sure the Alternity is nowhere close to a deluxe, except may be in size. The THS-01 and THS-02 were both almost basic sized, and were also priced at around $50 IIRC.

well what you expect them to not want to cover the import cost? lol

I think it looks great, but I don't see many differences between this proto and the one from Wonderfestival.
Guess I'll be getting both versions, and renaming them.
In the pic you can see the japanese price is 4725, which is around $43. It wouldn't surprise me if BBTS and other US online retailers increase their prices.

Such a nice looking figure. I will definitely be buying this, especially after collecting all the Alts then finally coming to see that BT's are IMO worth the $50 when made with die-cast.
I'll probably buy both colors (Red and Silver) and possibly make a megs. If OP can be a sports car why can't megs?
I do hope they come to the US in plastic and it's an actual line and not just a one off

mother of god that is sexy

Can't wait for Super Fire Convoy.
January gives me more time to put aside cash for it.

Can't wait hopefully there's more that are released with him
