Damn emo's getting all up in my hobby!

I am diligently trying to capture most of the Classics I can, and then move on to the ROTF Movie line..

so what sucks is that between the masterpieces they release, the Alternity figures they release, the classics/Universe, ROTF, Reissues, and 3RD Party stuff... it's amazing anyone can even keep up!! sheesh!!

My guess is these are very nice pictures of mediocre bots.

By placing the bots at an angle, they look a lot slimmer than they would on a shelf.

They look better now.

I still don't want them though.
If I get any Alternity figure, it'll be Megatron.
Sadly, it's both sold out and expensive, right?

It'll be up to the fiction to decide whether or not he is Cliffjumper, or if he's another Auto-Avatar for Bumblebee.

Unless there's a mistake with the naming of the two figures, I can't see why Cliffjumper would be an auto-avatar for Bumblebee unless the fiction changes things around and states that BB/Bumble and CJ/Cliff are versions of the same character, which would be odd.

Optimus Prime was reformated into an auto-avatar as the result of joining his fellow alternate Primes/Convoys in the Convoy Corps of the Alternity. Megatron made his auto-avatars after merging with Hytherion and becoming an Alternity so his auto-avatars are, like the Convoy Corps, various iterations of "Megatron", the "Megatron Aggregate" according to the included fiction.

Maybe BB and CJ are part of a sort of "Minibot Corps".

But officially, he's still called Convoy. The same can be applied to the red Bumblebee: officially "Bumble", but "Cliff" in fiction.

Alternity Convoy:

Ten-Dimensional Processor Block [head]: The brain-part that controls multi-dimensional thinking and consciousness.

Timaeus Powertrack Generator [chest]: Generates the racetrack for the super-dimensional-locomotion Timaeus Drive.

Universal Emulation Engine [waist]: Universal mechanism that replicates all mechanical devices.

Phasic Isolation Shield Emitter [knee]: Shield emitter that erases one’s presence and offers total protection.

Timestorm Detector Array [door-wing]: Able to remotely detect the generation of changes in time-space and immediately calculate their coordinates.

Alternium Hyper-Frame [clavicle]: Higher-dimensional-material receiver that physically links the Auto-Avatar and the true Alternity.

Anti-Hytherion Spacetime-Piercing Tachyon Blasters [forearm]: Super-long-range armaments that can strike targets existing in the past, the future, or in other dimensions.

Planet Force Storage Reactors [lower leg]: Where the vibrational energy of the planets is gathered as backup energy storage.

Alternity megatron:

Higher Dimension Sensory Array [head]: A type of sensor that boosts perceptual strength in higher dimensions.

Negavation Cloak Emitter [shoulder]: A stealth feature that disrupts detection of alternities.

Alternium Hyper-Frame [clavicle]: Physically links the Auto-avatar and Alternity frame. A terminal for higher-dimensional matter.

Timaeus Powertrack Generator [chest]: Generates a run loop for the "Timaeus Drive" super-temporal driver.

Inertia Manipulation Device [waist]: A control device which can alter the momentum of enemy physical attacks or the user's body.

Gravital Blades [forearm]: Swords that slash apart space and slice up the flow of time. They can be used to open up a dimensional hole and create a beam attack that bathes the target in the exotic particles that flow out.

Tesseractal Swords: A sword made from the fang of the Hytherion, a super-dimensional creature. It can slash even faraway enemies, ignoring intervening spacial distance.

Holo-Kinetic Arm Projector [lower leg]: Generates an invisible force field arm that can support devices' installation, removal and self-repair.

In a good "over the top super space anime mecha technology" way, of course. If Bumblebee gets some super hyper time/space/reality upgrades, he could become the MGS4 Raiden of Transformers with respect to suddenly perceived bad@$$ery.

Wow, you brought out my inner crazy prospector and I didn't even know I had one! Bumblebee already had his badassery upgrade in the 07 movie. Before that he was just the little brother to the bigger bots and Cliffjumper was (and still is) a well armed Scrappy Doo.

Seriously, I'm getting them to go with the MP/Alternator lines and, heh, I collect Bumblebees. Bee still doesn't had a dedicated shelf display but Alternity (and bigger shelves) will change that!

Expensive, yes...sold out, no.

I see one on ebay right now for less than I paid shipped. Comes out to $54.49...

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FTRANSFORMERS-ALTERN%20...%20286.c0.m14%3C%2Fa%3E%3F

Hmmm.
Maybe it's not really super expensive.
I don't have any money now, so it honestly doesn't matter.

I dunno. Maybe I can try to get one for Christmas.

I was thinkin' bug bite, but a lot of members won't know who that is.

I know who Bug Bite is. He's a white Gobot clone of Bumblebee. When the Gobot dimension was destroyed, Bug Bite was among the few that survived. He was available at BotCon 2007.
Seriously, though, anyone who went to BotCon '07 should know. (I didn't go, but I read up on TFWiki.net. That website knows everything about everything.)

Blurrz wrote:Maybe I'm going crazy, but I find the red to be a bit too bright and the yellow to be a tad too dull. >_<

"Multi-Phasic Core Probability Processor[Chest]: Tunes into and channels the psychic energy of the can-do attitude and youthful zeal of the multitudes of parallel Bumblebees in all conceivable existence as well as their young human sidekicks to create a field of reality manipulation. Whenever the rambunctious auto-avatar of Bumblebee(Champion Yellow) gets in over his head, "luck" in the way of the MPCPP saves his horn-headed chasis from utter annihilation.

Also, I wonder what's next for the Alternity line up after BB. We have 2 Autobots and 1 Decepticon. The next Alternity figure after BB should be a Decepticon but who?
