I really hope so.. I have Henkei Convoy and completely missed the boat on the City and Shadow Commanders, due to lack of any kind of spare funds..
I just hope the molds hold up to a third run,.. and of course that I have the money to spare if/when they do re-release it!

It kinda looks like Mean Time, but I can't tell.

Don't worry Zero-Kaiser, BBTS still has 335 in stock. So you still have some time to get a Shadow Commander.zero-kaiser wrote:I really hope so.. I have Henkei Convoy and completely missed the boat on the City and Shadow Commanders, due to lack of any kind of spare funds..
I really like the look of Roller in the G3 set myself. And the fact that you can add Primes guns to him is a bonus!
Powered Convoy is really a mixed bag for me. Sure I would love to buy it. But we don't have a blue Prime to put it on.

Damn I hope I can afford that thing.

Thanks Firebird! Shadow Commander is pretty darn sweet... I just hope I can find work and get (assuming my convertions are correct) £90ish together before they are sold out
Ive never ordered from BBTS before, Ive heard a lot of great things about them though.
If I do find work sometime soon, I might well get the G3 trailer to.. Fans Projects is really spoiling us lately

im loving the fact that powered convoy is a more than gracious nod to the original ultra magnus release by takara for the diaclone series where they re-packaged convoy with the car transporter trailer armour (and for those of you lucky enough to have it, the special DVD release of TF:TM shows the original japanese trailer for the film with the original colourings for ultra magnus/city commander)
and again its good for a third release fo the set because not everyone would want the shadow commander set (i would cos i like the fact that for every "good" character there's the doppleganger character too) so its cool for the next go round when it comes.
i would so snap up every iteration of everythin FP has done (hell i'd love to make the stuff and learn how they do it) but sadly my wallet just doenst support funding (well for the moment anyways)
can't wait to see more from them

Yeah, this all make perfect sense to me now. The picture of the Convoy armor today, the earlier image of the "God Bomber" set-up, it's all crystal clear. They're definitely going to produce a third set meaning the Prime will be able to pull his own armor behind his trailer. It'll all be one final, master set (probably sold as 2 separate kits). And I'm going to assume his trailer will somehow work to support or integrate with his armor. If this is true, I'd best start saving.

I can't order things from BBTS either. I've tried and they don't deliver here. So I don't think I'll ever get any of these commander sets. It annoys me that Australia tends to get left out of things a lot.
Who is Prime crushing beneath his foot? I think that's Rumble or Frenzy in the second panel, yeah? And I reckon they've paid homage to the classic Target: 2006 storyline with Galvatron's shadow behind Ultra Magnus.

Damn, that's weird, BBTS happily gouges me for the shipping and delivers to NZ, I have had no problems with TFSource either. Maybe try Robotkingdom?

Yeah, you're right. Come on, Hasbro! Where's our blue "Nightwatch", or um..."Baywatch"(?), repaint of Classics Prime for the Universe line?
I don't like that Roller either. Particularly how the back wheels are seperate from the other 4. Why couldn't they put the gun mounting gimmick part at the back like every other Roller. It just looks odd.
I might end up passing both the G1 trailer and the Powered Commander trailer if they make it.

It almost looks like Roller might pull apart to hold the guns. I thought the first image of Roller looked normal compared to these.

Looks like all the wheels are equally spaced here... but a little hard to tell.
