Sure don't. Pretty sure they weren't posted around here. Until the new opinion change of 3P toys on this site I only came here for my TF news... blah, blah, blah

Who did these mock-ups anyway? They look great... though it just reinforces that I'll love that figure no matter how it's dressed... blue/yellow leg-circuits and all. This one has some unique, yet oddly attractive proportions.

I'm completely happy with its visuals so far... I just worry what it what it'll feel like in comparison to the other Warbots in this line. Hopefully Defender was a MAJOR learning experience and SteelCore was not a fluke.

You know the way Hasbro re-release their Masterpiece figures with an upgrade/retool, I wonder if FansProject fancy doing a job on Defender?
I would love a Defender in amongst my Classics! :grin:

Im warming to FansProjects Assaulter/Broadside the more I see him. I know in-package shots can be deceiving but am I right in saying hes around Voyager Class?

I hope they get preorders up on other retail sites soon.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Not sure how that makes sense, I mean who doesn't own one of Defender or Steelcore? Who wants Steelcore if they aren't interested in TF homages? I guess the scalpers will go to town.

Just give us a damn pre-order for Assaulter on his own!

:-$
Dear Santa... :lol:

Soooo full of want, if I had a large sum of cash right now this would be ordered, even with any crazy shipping costs?

I guess 3 x items shipped to the U.K. would be around £40ish?

I need these guys....! :grin:

you would be battered by custom charges as well. I reckon you'd be looking at around £270 all in, which isn't that bad, I suppose...

I have Defender already, not too impressed with him, but I'm not a huge Springer fan either.

I don't have Steelcore (yet) but don't want him or Broadside bad enough to sign up for FPC just for the 'privilege' of buying their products. If this stuff starts showing up on BBTS, I'll bite, if not, then FP won't see my wallet open, even if it means I have to pass up Steelcore, Broadside and the Stunticons.

Yes, this pretty much sums up my reaction too. With the increased costs associated with Hasbro stuff at Target and Walmart, the struggling economy, and so many desirable third party products out there, choices will have to be made. I have a huge amount of respect for what FP did for the Tsunami victims in offering a free targetmaster for a donation (it certainly got my lazy butt off the couch to make the donation I tend to have the intention to do but rarely follow through on). I'd really like to support them. But I don't have that endless pot of money. FPC Herc set me back for a while. I really, really would like to have Broadside, but Steelcore doesn't intrest me that much and I already have Defender. I love FP stuff and can't wait for finally having a decent Stunticons set. But if they continue to only offer stuff through their core site, especially in bundles like this, and not through general retailers like BBTS, I might have to quit these third party products. Or maybe shift and buy Uranus or the not-Predacons.

Just have to make some hard choices now... Maybe I should sell off my movie collection...

Very odd that they announce a bundle pack, yet either deliberately or callously forgot to mention whether Assaulter himself would be up for pre-order individually. And still no updates on the next wave of SteelCore.

The bundle pack may be nice for those who do not own any of these figures, and I would say this is a GREAT strategy to employ to market to those folks. Overall, the announcement was just lacking.
