They probably ordered it from FP Core and just got stock in.

What I was thinking-definitely a standard e-tail release.

For the longest time now, there have been rumors of an accessory for the WB-002 Steel Core. Some may have even seen the prototype in person. Well, this thing is in development and we'd love to show some shots of the concepts and details that will go into the final product.



These of course are just the concept 3d images and details may change in production. We'll have more news on that as it comes and prototype shots as we get them.



Further to this news, I know that the bigger thing on everyone's mind has been "when will we see another release of the WB-002 Steel Core himself?". Well, we have been confirming numbers with FP and it seems like we will have another limited run of these available to the FPC community. Pre-orders are estimated to go up this Sunday October, 28th, 2012.



We are still working out details with FP on pricing, so please check back with us often over this weekend for more details. We appreciate everyone's patience in bringing these back, this was a big risk for FP as a manufacturer and FPC has had to do a lot of convincing just to be able to cover the first run. Having a second round is phenomenal for us and a true sign of appreciation from FP for the success of the first release. Of course, FP has been also been gracious enough to work with us on the trailer for this piece to complete the vision of the designers. As you can imagine, we are so happy that things have worked out the way they have.



We really thank FP for believing in FPC and the patience of the fan base in this community as we grow. We'd also like to thank all of our volunteers and people behind the scenes that have worked out bugs in the site, helped to fill our resource fall backs in customer service and fulfilment and the visionaries that helped consult on the overall direction of this idea.



Not only did this help with the launch of this web site and it's features for nominal costs, it allowed us to have a ground breaking product like Steel Core come to fruition. From the features of the site being fully customized and launched in a matter of a few months, to the 3 month promo and market turn around release of Steel Core (the very first product teasers on FPC in May, 2012 to shipping out the last unit in August, 2012). This has been a testiment to the efforts of everyone involved. Thanks again!



Both FP and FPC look forward to the future as FPC starts to realize the potential of sustainability with this project and hope to one day not rely only on the good graces of our help, but to be able to afford our own resources and run our own budgets that will develop much more than just retail products - which is the biggest vision of this group. We realize that retail is a quick way to help develop our budgets for this community, but don't want our emphasis to be taken away from the bigger picture that founded this community.



Even after all of this whirlwind of releases, what actually really surprised us was the outstanding amount of emails from new and old fans that did not even know of such releases or about the purpose of the fan site itself. As we grow, we hope to have in place more experts on our team that will help spread the word about FPC and gain more reach to other regions and facets online and even in the real world through events and shows.



We will have more news on the other side of things like site features, stories and overall direction of the member factions soon. And of course photos and developments in the WB-002 Trailer.



Watch for details on the Steel Core re-release and a big thanks to all the fans again!

Gotta say... disappointed. Gonna have to get a bit more attached to the idea of an army of FP boobmasters before I get excited about a transport for them.

Granted, as an FP fanatic I'll buy it. Just hoping it "wows" me a bit more at some point...

Definitely looks like they've decided to keep Steelcore an FPC exclusive.

I'm fairly certain this is just the bare bones of the trailer and it will have a lot more details on the actual product. It looks about right for the shape of Steelcore itself.

Much like the checkout process on the FPC site tonight. Glad I stayed up late to order this just to get tons of server errors and timeout messages.

FP, would you please just sell this through the standard online, retail sites?!?

Indeed, unless something unexpected and cool comes from this I will either eat my words or sell my Steelcore.

:BOOM: Seriously?!? Surely SteelCore is an awesome enough figure in it's own right to warrant keeping regardless of any additional accessories.

I'd quite like a caravan full of different coloured Core figures if they did more than just keep Steel's boobs looking fabulous. Yeah, I'll get it because it's FansProject and it'll fill out Steel's back in vehicle mode, but I hope there's something a bit more interesting in the other half of the trailer.

I believe the consensus is that Heartmaster was Fansproject's OC/tribute to the concept of Powermasters in general, not an homage, so a redeco would not thus be an homage to a Transformers character.

I'm saying that I don't like that color scheme and am disappointed if that's what they intend to do with Steelcore's recolor. Has nothing to do with it not homaging something else. >:oP

I suppose it'll have it's fans. I don't know what I was expecting, but ... not that.

Who says that there's going to be a recolor? That image was most likely depicting how SteelCore came about.

I wonder how many times it'll need to be said until it finally sticks...

Steelcore admittedly has a similar color scheme as Energon Ultra Magnus that was a repaint of Armada Overload. However, Steelcore is not based on either character and was created as and intended to be an original character of FPC.
