{{nav-Alternity}}
'''''Transformers: Alternity''''' (トランスフォーマー オルタニティ) is a [[TakaraTomy]] toyline that ran from [[2009]] to [[2012]]. It is the successor to the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech]]'' toyline. It features [[licensed vehicle alternate modes]] in its toys, as well as a mixture of plastic and [[die-cast]] metal. Toys are scaled down from their previous ''Binaltech''/''Alternators'' proportions, now being 1:32 scale rather than 1:24, and roughly equivalent in size to the mainline "deluxe" [[size class]]. ''Alternity'' was itself succeeded by ''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'', a much less high-concept racing themed series.

==Fiction==
Like ''Binaltech'', ''Alternity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s continuity is established by pack-in fiction.

Picking up where ''[[Story of Binaltech]]'' left off, the next chapter of author [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]]'s interdimensional epic chronicled how the inhabitants of [[BT World]] ascended to become the titular [[Alternity]], god-like multidimensional beings aggregating all the iterations of a given Transformer across the multiverse into a singular collective consciousness. As the war between the "[[Protector]]s" and the "[[Hytherion]]" across space and time raged the combatants frequently flitted in and out of "[[universal stream]]s" throughout the multiverse until the Alternity sacrificed their enlightenment to end the conflict, largely returning BT World to normal.

==Notes==
[[File:Alternity Jazz Pilot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I AM ALL JAZZES. WHAT IS CRACKING, SMALL FELLOWS?]]
*To pitch the ''Alternity'' line, [[Hironori Kobayashi]] enlisted the help of [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], who produced a concept image of an ''Alternity'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Meister]].  A large amount of the design was put to use on ''Alternity'' Convoy once the line was approved.
*While it's unknown whether it's a product of coincidence or a deliberate reference by Ichikawa, the term "Alternity" (plural "Alternaties") was used by fan (later pro) writer [[James Roberts]] in his unofficial 2001 novel ''Eugenesis'' to refer to parallel realities.
