I bet Goatse stinks less than that character entry.

Goatse teaming up with Tubgirl stinks less than said entry.

Goatse, Tub Girl, Crotch Puker, Lemon Party, Meat Spinner, Power 5 Combi-team, Go!
Theme song (to the tune of "Cybertron"):
'Net-pervets, they will shock your eyes.
Tuchus splits, eatin' poo! Go!
The Power 5 wwwwwaaaayyyyge their battle to shock and sicken, casting shame, decency and basic ideas of civility aside.

No, that's just a GIF from Leekspin. The actual audio isn't offensive, either, just funny.

Back to the topic....
There are seven Alternators I don't have. I purposefully skipped Ricochet, Rollbar and Optimus Prime. I just didn't care for those three, and I count MP Prime as their leader so I didn't really see a need for another Prime. Ravage II and Rumble I never saw in stores. And the two exclusives, Black Prime I didn't care for but Rodimus I thought looked awesome.

I bought Nemesis Prime from Case Fresh, an Australian hobby shop. I think it was an SDCC exclusive that ended up afterwards on Hasbro's website for ten seconds before selling out. I've always thought it was strange that the stock ended up in Australia of all places!
I found Ravage and Rumble at Wal-Mart, apparently not long after they'd been put on the shelf since there were three of each. I could only afford one, so figuring that Ravage would sell out first, I bought one of them. When I came back later for Rumble, there were no more Ravage's on the shelf, so I was glad I'd picked the right one.

Nemesis Prime was a foul-up by Hasbro. The entire US allocation got swapped with the allocation for several smaller Pacific region countries, starving the US and glutting the Pacific. it was possible to buy them from the Pacific, but shipping made that option very expensive for fans with budgets.

I think it only cost me $40 or $45 with shipping. That's double what it would have been if it had been available at retail like the other Alternators, but a decent price considering the location I bought it from and rarity of the figure.
