It's legit impressive how you look at them at first and it doesn't look like they are transformers toys at all just normal car models. That's gotta be one of the best lines Hasbro have ever done.

Very glad to see Shockwave and Windcharger give justice they deserve.

11:14 Just a smol observation I made on Alternator Mold Number 7: I think you meant to say RSX instead of NSX. I’m both a huge Transformers fan and collector, and car enthusiast. I personally believe that the Alternators line could and should be revisited and updated with today’s modern engineering, as I firmly believe the idea was one of the coolest things ever.

The sideswipe trunk chest mod was totally worth doing to give a visible difference between sideswipe and sunstreaker.

Wheeljack and his son being the same mold is adorable Great Wheeljack design to, weird how it never became the basis for a CHUG style Barricade given that it’s already a mustang

The lack of stop motion in this video signifies that this one is a bit more real than the others in a sense... I love it.

Best part about the Jazz/Shockwave mold: some years later, there was a Botcon Customizer Class that had Reveal the Shield Jazz as a base figure...you could do G2 Jazz, Shattered Glass Jazz, or...use specially made custom parts and do a CHUG version of Alternators Shockwave. I'm annoyed Hasbro didn't think about that as a regular retail figure. (Similarly, they should've thought about the RtS Tracks/Generations Wheeljack mold for a nod as Alternators Grimlock)

You get my mad respect for going through the nightmare of transforming all of them for the review. Nice review

My uncle had displayed the Grey subi and the rally wrap one. I loved looking at them because they just had a unique feel compared to normal transformers toys

I’m 100% on board with you just making alternators reviews forever

they need to bring this back

The other upside to this line (while the robot modes were a bit jank) is the price. Loved picking these up for 19.99 USD on trips to Target. Seemed like a steal at the time, even more so now.

binaltech had some amazing ones too, Arcee especially looks so good to me in that pearl paint

manged to hunt 3 of the 4 alternity molds, you would LOVE them, optimus and Bumblebee are on my favourite figures ever

This is awesome! Been wanting a comprehensive Alternators video for a long time. Now I know which ones to grab to fill out my collection ;)

Thank you for giving Alternator line up a much needed ❤️! Makes me wanna unpack all my alternators

So happy to see you back! I missed the long form content!

The ford GT is one of my dream cars and seeing it as a transformer is a must in my life

I would genuinely love if HasTak or 3rd party took an advent to Alternators in the future. But till then, one can only dream.

Optimus being a Ram truck with the power of a Dodge Hellcat works pretty well. It could be like when he’s charging into battle he is going at full speed.

13:14 *WOW* THAT WAS AMAZING! NOT ONLY THE STOPMOTION BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT I GOT AN AD

It's been a long time bruh good to see ur videos again

First 10 mins yay and I gotta say, love the stop motion from ur other vids and miss it but love the vid

Great Video, I also am in possession of all the Alternators and enjoy the line very much. But for me the Line runs second favorite behind the G1 line. I was a 10 yr old kid when G1 hit the scene and will always be my favorite Transformers line and also my Favorite Toy line. Great Job.

Lazy eyebrow loves rcr!! Dude I love your channel and I’m so glad you pay as much attention to alt mode as you do robot mode

These things were so amazing in a time before masterpiece. The size, the best alt modes we have ever been given and the official license for $20 MSRP for most of them? Untouchable. Even accounting for inflations we couldnt see these for less than $150 today at all. great video!

Also, holy crap, I just remembered my local nerd store HAS the Mazda RX8 (Jazz), and it also happens to be at the top of your list! I'm definitely going to pick it up next time I'm there.

I first saw Smokescreen at a local Target and thought it was very cool. I went home to find out more info and was surprised to find there was a painted die-cast version - insta-buy!! I was hooked on Binaltech after that.

Another awesome video.

I was fully 4 years old when all these came out so maybe that's why I want the full collection. The nostalgia was hitting hard on this video for me.

Great video man, I'm one for the return of this line, tough the price will be obscene. I got two Imprezas, the two Mazdas, two of the Jeeps, Optimus, Windcharger, Overdrive. Skids, and Prowl. Love them all!

Love the new logos! So clean and sleek.

I'd really love for these figures to get a modern revamp, having an alternators-style line with realistic cars and modern engineering would be absolutely amazing.

The RCR shout out alone was worth a thumbs up, you rule

Great video! I have most of the Alternators and was lucky enough to be stationed in Japan when they released the Binaltechs. I picked up a few of Japanese versions also. I thought of selling them but have a hard time separating from them especially since I’m car crazy as well as Transformers crazy. 😂😅

Great review dude. Brings back great memories from my old collecion:) THANKS!

I know it won't happen but it would've been awesome if Hasbro brought this subline back someday and yet also made a Movie Edition series for the subline, like Alternator models but like in movie colors which in my unpopular opinion would be awesome :D

Bro I love the optimums prime it’s so under rated

I have most of these figures and I agree that they're awesome! My only regret is that they didn't give us more stuntacons aside from Wildrider, I would have appreciated them more than the likes of Ravage and Rumble as cars.

You're the KZfaqr that brought my attention to Alternators. Thank you!! One Question: Of all the color variants of Meister, which one has the least color mismatch in car mode?

HE'S BACK!!!

I have no interest in alternaters but Lazy eyebrow caught my attention the whole time

After watching your video I'm so glad that I chose the Shockwave mold as the base for a "live action" Transformer design for my OC, I knew that mold had something special

These are legit the coolest transformers ive, EVER seen. I hate so many transformers lines from them being too cartoonish or too simple. I dont understand how i never knew about these

These look INCREDIBLE in car mode. Damn. Don't know how I haven't heard of these before.

I appreciate the midway classic Transformers ad break

Just went to my first transformers con this weekend. Ended up get getting a Smokescreen for $25, and then later on I got to met the guy that designed that figure. To whom was more then happy to sign it for me. Also got Shockwave too. So happy to see my first two Alternators, are high pick on your list.

Nice review! I love alternators and I love my Jazz/Meister

My first transformers toy was alternators Smokescreen. I would always put him on the side of my tv when I was playing gran turismo 3. I remembered that gran turismo 3 had a rally car that looks exactly like Smokescreen and I would mostly keep him in vehicle mode. I would also put lego figures inside the cockpit. This was during the time when Cybertron was on tv and the next transformer I wanted was Hotshot because he looks cool. When I got him for Christmas, I was really disappointed because he didn't had an opening hood. He had a cockpit but it's so small, I couldn't fit anything in it. Transformers Alternators really set the bar high for me. It wasn't until the ROTF leader Optimus where I started to be impressed by transformer toys again.

6:24-6:25 Lazy Eyebrow: "RAVAGE AS A JAGUAR!" Me: "processing the pun" Me after processing the pun: HA HA HA HA *WHEEZING* WHY MUST THAT CAR HUMOUR EXIST?!

"EVERY part of the robot to make up EVERY part of the car." Seriously, THIS is what the Masterpiece line should've been. Fully articulated robot modes that find that perfect balance between screen-accurate and real-world robotic (man, do I miss the mindset that put the pistons and shocks on MP-01), AND vehicle modes that are so accurate to their real-life counterparts that you'd think you're just looking at a scale model with no hint of there being a robot AT ALL. "The fact that these were MODERN cars but the OLD characters we love... you don't see that nowadays." We SHOULD be seeing that in the MOVIE toys. But no, take random names and slap them onto random car modes with random robot modes, that works too...

This line is soo cool!!!!! The jaguar ravage makes me think of this shirt I got at a tf con where ravage is the jaguar logo😁

Looooved it. Loooove you're a car fan. Perfect line for you.

I am seriously jealous of your Alternators collection. I've been slowly building up my collection, but they are hard to find. You have my favorite! The Blue Subaru WRX STI race version! I need to find that!

Loved this line so much. I collected the Binaltech versions. A little more expensive but well worth it for the die cast and overall attention to detail.

Seeing Jazz and Shockwave top it made me happy. They had the best look in that line.

I remember obtaining most of these back in the day. Smokescreen was my favorite followed bye mirage.Sold them all about 8 years ago. No regrets

These were so cool when I was a kid, especially when you see them at Kunkleman Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Kia.

I have silverstreak and I just learnt it's an alternators figure. I had my suspicions when I discovered alternators were a thing but this video confirmed it for me lmao

The Alternators are what rekindled my TF obsession and Smokescreen was the first just bc he was a rally car.

i have never seen so many alternators all together like that thats awesome

I didn't know the rest of the line but picked up Silverstreak and I love it! I didn't know he's up there in your list! I still have it rarely transformed coz I love both modes. I should have bought two! :(

good job about Best of Alternators Molds from Top 13

Super impressive alt modes.

I got Smokescreen as a hand-me-down from my cousins when I was young and I absolutely loved it. The only disappointing thing is that he was missing a door 😢 and the weapon I didn’t even know existed till now. I’ll complete him one day.

Of the molds I've experience, ima have to give it to the Tracks mold. He looks great in both modes and the transformation is mostly great.

I definitely understand why this is one of if not your favorite TF line. I mean for as long as I've watched you, you've always given me the feeling that the alt-modes were your favorite part of a transformers toy.

I was just thinking that I wanted this video from you. 😂

Soundwave should have been a car carrier so he can store his minions

i have alternator shockwave and i must say i love it so much tho it have its annoying thingy too- due to waves big head with antenas, it is tricky to put his head through gap on hood designed. not once he popped his hood off while transforming. good thing is that hood is designed on those tiny pimples that pegs into those small cratters, so it does not damage anything when it pops off.

Okay, now someone needs to give all the alternity figures to this man

I have the binaltech overdrive and it was great until the paint started to chip on the die cast parts, so I removed the old paint and paint it again but with a red that pops more, anyways great content!

As someone whos a Transformers fan AND a car guy, i want these SO BADLY

I too, love alternators and I truly hope they bring them back. One of the best toy lines

Very interesting not having stop-motion in your videos, but I loved it. Do you have any plans on doing the rest of them instead of your favourites?

An RCR reference! A crossover of my two favorite channels!

There's so many of these that look great. I'm not a car enthusiast but I've always been a fan of Smokescreen's Subaru car because of the game Gran Turismo 2. I only ever got Sunstreaker when these were new but I'd love to get some more.

Awesome video, thanks

Preach on the awesomeness of Alternators!!!! MPs before the moniker existed! 👍🏾

If they ever did a new Alternators line, I'd love to see one of the old characters get the Jigowatt treatment and be disguised as the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future. Yeah, it would be farfetched, but since Jigowatt exists as an amalgamation of two pop culture icons, Transformers and BTTF, we could very easily see more pop culture vehicles become more than meets the eye.

It's a car. Love this. Glad Alternators is getting a second look and you'redefinitelythe guy to do it. One of the most interesting G1 modernization lines and its absence does leave something of a hole in Transformer's soul.

Honestly as someone who necer cared for altmode accuracy thid video gave me a new perspective for the attention to detail that can go into some of these guys

Aw heck yea, nice video

ravage as a jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag (lol)

I had the Skids toy, he got me back into transformers as an adult. I figured his transformation being two unrelated halves held together by a single bar would've knocked him some points, but I'm glad he ranks where he does, that's a dang fun toy. Alternators really seemed like the transformers line made for you, so congrats on getting the whole set! I think that Shockwave's my holy grail now, so damn clean.

First off. That opening. Not only did you take a card out of Gaming Historian's hat. But you took the idea to its logical extreme. And I LOVE IT! Now for the entries 13. Since Ravage has another version that actually looks like the character. For that mold I would've used say Runabout instead. No comments on the other two. 12. Interesting idea. Nothing else I can say. 11. YES! I also LOVE the idea of Ravage being a Jaguar. It also reminds me that Atari now owns Bubsy. Which I think is funny because the bobcat had a game (Bubsy In Fractured Furry Tales) on the Atari Jaguar. 10. Agreed on feeling like It would've been a good fit for Tracks. 9. If this idea was done again today I would like to see the blue version as RID Strongarm. 8. No comment. 7. Nothing to say. 6. Wonder if this could be used for Animated Swindle. 5. Imagine if they did another version of Mudflap back then (I say that because this is pre bayverse) 4. Nice 3. Cool. Though the shield thing? I think I can hear a certain Aussie Transformers fan groaning in the distance. 2. Cool. 1. Awesome.

I like your new 3d render logo, also there was no add during the add segment, idk if there was supposed to be due to your pinned comment

Man i was in love with that Smokescreen figure. I was really impressed at first. I made a Grimlock into a Death Race “Monster” mustang transformer with guns and all.

It should be ILLEGAL for my boy Hot Rod to NOT have his flames! Btw, Alternators look pretty cool. Wow, y'know with Studio Series, MP, & etc figures there very accurate vehicles (some of them, at least)? Imagine a $80-$200 modern Alternators-esque series made with the knowledge gathered from the series mentioned above!? That'd be cool ngl!

Awesome Video. I love when Alternators get some love. This line is what got me back into Transformers and eventually led to MP collecting and 3rd party. I must say I was shocked you got Camshaft / Prowl's alt mode wrong with NSX. I WISH they were an NSX, but they are an RSX. Actually in Japan I think they called it an Integra, so I an see some confusion. I have a big collection of Alternators / Binaltech figures. I still have a few missing from the Binaltech series (wonderfest Nemesis Prime is my Grail) I have all of the Alternators NISB with variants. I found that in Europe they had the Bubble Packaging, but because of a lawsuit they had to put the picture of the Toy on it rather than the killer Artwork that I loved seeing on the boxes. There was a progression of Box design change from Blue to Red to Bubble Clamshell. Fun Fact, Mirage / Hotrod is the only vehicle to be a Rear Engine Design. The BT line was metal and ALT was plastic, which actually for once was the better choice as BT figures have trouble holding poses due to the weight of the metal parts. I never understood why we didn't get a Megatron in this line. One of my ongoing projects I started when I collected this line was to make the Stunticon team as to me that really fit the spirit of this line. I could go on about this line for a long time. Love the spotlight these get. I am looking forward to the Spotlight videos for your Top 3 figures. I will say you can find a lot of great Mods to these figures that will improve articulation as well as asthetics to them so they can be more enjoyed! I think that you have to include Alternity series in this line as well even thought the scale was changed. I did collect them after this line for a little bit, but the smaller scale, higher cost and way more intricate transformation I stopped, but I think these are what paved the way for our modern day Masterpiece figures. I would love to see a sub series going over each one of the molds.

I love Rumble

Me seeing this video makes me really want these figures

I remember being on the internet at some point and I found the best alternator custom ever, someone took a shockwave figure and turned it to 11, he used black magic turned it into a Plymouth HEMI Cuda in plum crazy, that is just inspired

I have a silver rx8, which seems to be the one you don't have , I love the fact that his guns are the exhaust itself ❤❤

I have 20 of the 28 myself, and were the only series I tried to actively collect since the original G1 characters from the 1980s. When they started coming out in stores (Toys R Us back then) it was the Hound one that really made me love this series. Each new one had so much detail I was compelled to get the next... and at least around here retailing for just US$19.99 each back then, this amazing quality was affordable too. The unfortunate thing was that the 20 variations I did get were the only ones I found for sale here. For instance, the Ford GT variants I still have never seen "in person". Overall though, very cool designs for all, even with the transformation issues of some. If they do decide to resurrect this line, I hope it is the same scale as these to keep the size compatibility.

your channel is cool

I haven't seen that Impreza Smokescreen since ive been a kid. Kinda wanna grab one for my display lol

Alternators were masterpiece before there was masterpiece. Some hits, some misses.

These transformers look to have been the source for creating the masterpiece and subsequently the 3rd party masterpiece transformers lines!!
