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 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, a much less high-concept racing themed series.
Fiction
Like Binaltech, Alternity's continuity is established by pack-in fiction.

Notes
- To pitch the Alternity line, Hironori Kobayashi enlisted the help of Hirofumi Ichikawa, who produced a concept image of an Alternity 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.
