Cool, a news credit on my birthday. What a great way to end the day.

Now, if someone would like to give me a classics Hot Rod, that would the the icing on the cake!

Oh man, I gotta get another Rodimus? Oh well, the price one must pay for potentially awesome figures.

Ever noticed that since City Commander, these guys are tackling two of the bigger fan-customs around simultaneously? They must've made some serious dough from that.

I am thrilled that these professional grade customs just keep picking up steam, I love being a transformer collector these days.

Cant wait to see the rodimus add on

I agree. With so many projects coming out, I'm excited to see what's next. My wallet on the other hand feels otherwise.

well hopefully they will pass the savings onto ME!!! :grin:

love the prime trailer, i'm all for G1 fanwank

this means nemesis trailers out of the picture, as he's not a recognised character with a trailer in my eyes

protectors and must and the other two are only a must if the price is rite

Here's a shocker: on the BBTS site, when you click on the classics option, Henkei Prime has the top slot, followed in second by Henkei Hot Rod. They've got me RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT ME!

Me too!

Look at all the stuff in the picture of the G3 trailer. I see a sword, missile launchers, and a gun or too. Looks like I don't need the Gear of war set after all.

And that Rodimus trailer set! =P~

Damnit! I just promised myself never to buy any more fan made sets and now they go and make a preview for an for a fig that REALLY needs it. #-o

It looks like the Prime trailer holds a sword and a bunch of extra guns.

If I remember correctly, the Megatron guns are the size of standard weapons for Classics toys, and the toy-accurate handle can pivot up and out of the way, revealing a post that'll fit into most hands from the Classics/Universe line.

On the FansProject site, they also have a picture of Protector in robot mode, which looks suitably awesome. Dammit, more of my money going to them...

From what I can tell, the upgrade set will feature new arms while the old ones will become his shoulder pads.

How much are these gonna cost? And when will the G3 trailer be available? While I think the overall design for the BTS trailer matches the sleekness of the Classics, that Fansproject trailer is just kick ass... And I'm not even gonna go on about Rodimus Prime... Megs and Optimus can duke it out, now Galvy and Roddy can duke it out...

i was wondering if their going to make two different version for rodimus prime set or just one because isn't classics rodimus a different shaded of red compared to the henkai version of rodimus :-?

Rodimus Prime? That's crazy... Prime's never going to stand for this.

I totally missed out on the City Commander upgrade due to lack of any kind of spare cash.. hopefully that situation is going to be completely the other way around by the time this comes out, Im quite excited about seeing more of this

Rodimus is a must have ... and the trailer? Well the trailer looks better everytime they do an update so I guess I'm sold on that one too

On a side-note, but a related one, BBTS is now sold out of Henkei Hot Rod, coincidence?

Re: What's next from FansProject? Rodimus Prime and more! (874458)

I will reserve judgement on the Rodimus Prime trailer until I get a better look at it. I am interested in the idea, but don't know how that one will work out.

Reasonable and appropriate.

They should get a lot of credit from City Commander, but we should all at least wait till there are some more accurate pictures of all this stuff before we make any wallet arping decisions.

As long as they include a space for the mini-matrix, and a firebolt I will no-doubt be buying this

I think not.

Obviously the availability of HR will determine whether I ultimately get this. Oh, and the availability of cash too.

TFSource, however, did still have Hot Rod available so I caved and bought one, along with Henkei Prime. I figured the worst case scenario, I can sell HR later on if I'm not a fan of the final armor set. As for Prime, I know I'm getting a trailer, just not sure which yet.

OK FansProject, bring them on!

Posted by Savage on January 27th, 2009 @ 4:02pm CST

Just a random thought I had:

Does anyone know if FansProject has considered bringing any of their sets to sell at BotCon sometime? Would Hasbro even allow them to be sold under the same roof as official products?

Re: What's next from FansProject? Rodimus Prime and more! (874612)
Posted by Seibermore on January 27th, 2009 @ 4:33pm CST

Guys I have an Idea they might produce another repaint of Protectors tailer into either the dark rodimus from Botcon or for wildrider and name it like motormaster.
I cant wait for Protecter set! The robot mode looks sweet!

I'll need to see some pics to make an informed decision but FansProjects certainly earned indefinite props for the City Commander set. And anything they do in the future will cetainly be on my radar.

I wish the pix was not blurred.. It would get me ore excited to actually see what is coming out over a blurry blobbish looking pix.

The protector set has my interest, but I can't decide until I see it clearly. It looks like you would need to change arms on the actual figure.

What we have to consider now is how long it'll be until the next load of pictures are available

I guess the protector armour will be out for christmas 09, much like CC was.

Yeah, perhaps we'll see it in September? That'd be pretty awesome.
