CA-04 looks like it could be Fansproject's version of an Allicon... The head matches and that could possibly be a tail sticking straight up behind its head... I know the insect arm looking things over the shoulders doesn't fit though...

If they aren't combiners then I'm hoping it's their take on the Insecticons. Didn't FP say at one of the cons that they aren't going to be doing a Devy set since another 3rd party already had something in the works? If that's the case I would assume the 3rd party they were referring to is the TFclub set that we've seen the Scavenger prototype of.

All the crossfire sets have dealt with combiners. Munitioner and Explorers' intsruction book showed a new crossfire combiner.... Why would this not be it? I know Fansproject is planning that complete made up set the Glacial bots, and maybe that's crossfire 03 who knows besides Fansproject????

The Crossfire series wasn't made to be all combiners. Specifically, its purpose was to release projects made by other designers, while Parallax is for their main designer. As the new teaser image for Causality says, this is a new series, and does not end the original Crossfire series. Its just a spinoff. I would say, Causality is for stand alone figures now, and the main Crossfire series is for combiner related figures and such.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Man I hope those are Insecticons!

If they indeed do not combine, I will have to pass on these. FP does great work, but I only have a budget for TFs that really stand out.

If they don't combine maybe they're TFs that I'd actually care about.

I can't say i care at all about these two. But there's some promise shown in the shadowed figures.

well for one if they dont combine then i really dont wont them To much $ for just tfs that i hated micromasters suck and who posted this should have did their research becuse it said they would combine sorry fansproject in 2011 you wont get all of my $ now show some thing on the other warbots cause this was a big let down now the other warbots i will be spending my $ on and their own combiner but these five i will have to pass on and at this rate if they come out before the warbots fansproject wont get any of my $ at all in 2011 sitck to what is stated fp any more let downs like this and you will have lost me completely

Lol, I know I shouldn't bother, but.... the News Crew at Seibertron couldn't have done any more research than this at the time it was posted, as there was no additional information available. FP don't tend to reply to emails, so it's not like they could contact them directly. The news guys are working for free to get TF news to us and give something to the fandom. What are you doing?

Secondly FP have not provided any schedule for their figures after Protector as far as I can recall. They announce plans for new figures and they have just about 'lost you completely'?. Wow, they sure are a bunch of bastards. When will the injustice end?

Back on topic, I'm glad they won't combine, it means that they won't be in limb mode forever and allows me to display them in their awesome bot modes. I was debating getting a second Munitioner/Explorer for this purpose but couldn't justify it - but with new character retools I'm all for it now.

........umm, they're giving us three new molds. They need to reuse those existing molds to generate revenue.

Totally Agreed. It saddened me that the awesmoneness that was Munitioner and Explorer are forever trapped in limb mode. Not I'm extatic that their robot modes will see the light of day.
