Transformers are nothing new to anyone of us but there are few who know that Transformers actually started out as a toy line. Well, there are two new toy lines of transformers at the moment: Alternity Skywarp and Alternity Starscream. If you’ve seen those movies, Skywarp character transforms from the oddball Mitsuoka Orochi into an evil robot. To remind you all, Mitsuoka Orochi is powered by 3.3-liter, 230hp Toyota Camry V-6 with the power-to-weight ratio somewhere between that of the Honda Civic and a Mini Cooper S and has been deemed the ugliest car ever built. Alternity Skywarp is built by Takara Tomy, the Japanese owner of the popular Transformers line of toys and cartoons. The two toy transformers come in two paint jobs: purple pearl and white pearl wherein purple is for the Skywarp and white is for Starscream. The real version of the Mitsuoka Orochi cost approximately $95,000 but if you still want the distinction to own one but could not shell out that big amount all at once, you could opt for the smaller (toy) version that transforms into a robot in just $60.
