I collected Alts, but I was never in love with them. They were too modern for my tastes, but at the time I believed it was the best we were ever going to get... so I settled. Had I known, I never would have touched an Alt. Really glad I sold them a few years ago before the 3PMP explosion took the bottom out of that market.
Eddie, that video shows the type of design I wanted from a CGI TF movie. Why Bay is obsessed with millions of panels, unrecognizable characters and bug faces is beyond me. There was a time I would assume we'd never get a good version, but at this point, I'm convinced that in the next 10-20 years, it'll get done. And if not, the technology is improving to the point that there will be full-length fan-films. Hollywood might not cater to us, but there are too many G1 fans for that portion of fandom to just disappear.
