Alternators (toyline)

Alternators are a line of Transformers based on actual cars from automobile manufacturers around the globe. It's basically an American import of the Japanese Binaltech line, with the important difference that Alternators have no metal parts like their Japanese brethren, dropping the price of a figure about $20. Fans tend to love Alternators for their attention to detail and their updating of 1980s characters in clever modern ways, but have distaste for the massive number of repaints/slight remolds to come out of the line, some molds having been used as much as three times already.

Note: Since Alternators don't come out in waves so much as in groups of one-three roughly every season, they'll simply be listed in order of release without differentiation as to when that release happened.
