Fansproject Defender & TF-Crossfire 02

Motto: ""I am a Prime. I do not take orders from you!""
Third party toy maker - Fansproject has updated their website with some new images of upcoming tripple changer Defender. The images show the toy in the two alternate modes as well as robot mode.

On the other development, Fansproject also teasing us with silhouette of their new product - TF-Crossfire 02. This new product is speculate to be none other than the Combaticons combiner - Bruticus. The second shadowy outline image is presume to be Combaticons leader - Onslaught in alternate mode.
It is unclear at this moment that this toy is a brand new product or just the add on.

Just yesterday as I was debating buying Universe springer I checked out their website for updates. I missed it by one day! Either way it looks great, but I am afraid the price will be huge for this. Easily over 100$, probably more like 150$ considering how many parts are there.

And that is definitely Bruticus, but again I can't even imagine how much these are going to cost. It will basically just be a small batch custom TF, not sure how I feel about it, but should look pretty good.

We need someone to do a photoshop applying the Defender color scheme we have seen in mockups

Sweet.

That definitely looks like an add on for the Energon molds just like Crossfire-01 was. You can tell in the alt mode photo by the pairs of wheels.

These look great!

it's about time Springer comes back as a triple changer. so far i've only seen him either as a car or as a helicopter and not both.

as for the shadow, i'm guessing a new Bruticus toy are those are upgrades like they did with Universe Superion Maximus.

That DEFENDER looks great! And the rotor has the ability to make the sword as well, with a bit more style to it than the original had.

Likes it. Springer is a fav of mine, so I'll attempt to get one of these if it goes into production.

Um.... "Test Shot with Diecast Parts." Is the produced toy going to have diecast parts? or just the prototype. Either way, I think I'll be saving up for this. Damn.

As for the Brute upgrade... that sure looks like a shuttle on the right arm. *looks at Bruticus Maximus* I wonder what the hell they're doing. Is it some kind of reshell kit? or replacement figure? I can't tell if his right leg is a tank or not -- but I'm leaning towards no. I presume that it's a jeep of some kind.

The Defender prototype looks very cool indeed. :)

The Bruticus add on...not needed in my opinion but could be very cool too.

I'm still waiting for the Protector Rodimus upgrade! Defender looks good and will be a must buy. I'm not a fan of diecast in general and this will be FPs first attempt to use it so I'm going to be very wary of paint chipping. The Bruticus upgrade will be amazing, though. Even the Barricade/Onslaught is getting his back cannons! Plus, now with the tank and helicoptor parts, we can expect a set for the TFCC Nexus Maximus!

I took a good look at the protector armor the other night and the sketches and mockups, trying to figure out what parts went where. What i finally landed on, is that there is basically no way that the entire trailer part will attach to Rodimus, if it did there would be a ton of back kibble going on. It probably means there will be a lot of extra parts (ala CC's huge rifle that I don't care for) it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things, but I am much more impressed when there is nothing left over, or in the case of springer that they have made a solid triple changer from scratch.

excited for both, not excited for the wallet punishment they will give out.
