the xA should transform into skids and the tc should turn into wheeljack (even though he's a crustang now )or maybe jazz. the new decepticon shockwave mazda rx-8 is AMAZING btw.

PreOrder Transformer bB
HLJ.com is now offering pre-orders of the Transformer Toyota bB. HLJ is an online store in Japan. I have bought from this site for years. They are very good. They offer two kinds at 5% off (early bird special). These are the Takara versions, not Hasbro.
BT-17 Skids Feat Toyota bB
BTA-03 Broadblust Feat Toyota bB
Expected release is November 2005.
Also, HLJ won't require payment up front. You will only get billed once the toys are shipped.

i've got a good collection of the alternators series going, and i'm all over this xB like a sauce. i'm hoping they make a remold of this guy (who looks like he's going to be skids http://binalternators.de/skids_english.html) into soundwave - it totally fits both the boxy nature of the vehicle, and the fact that you can pimp it out to be a soundsystem on wheels. although i had originally hoped they would make the back window his chest. looks just like the old tape-deck chest he had. (not to mention the chest of ironhide...)
i would love to see a tC alternator, but it's doubtful because the alternators are plastic version of the die-cast takara made binaltech series, and the tC is an american-only model.

FWIW, a guy here at work that runs one of the largest Transformers boards in the world told me that from prototype to production, is usually 4 months. So, he suspects that the Scion Transformers will be out for public sale close to Christmas.
Nice present, huh?
(again, just speculation...)

My friend in California is a huge Transformers nut. I think he's more excited about this toy than I am, and I'm the one with the xB.
