RTS G2 Optimus Prime upgrade set on the horizon?

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

Ignore this.

Dammit! I could swear I logged out and logged back in! Sorry.

Anyway, while I may be one out of 2 people who actually liked the original head, I'll still be getting this. I feel obligated to since I never owned an original G2 prime. G2 was what me and my brothers grew up with after all.

I doubt this is FPs doing (though I would prefer it be them) since they're already going to be incredibly busy. And if they have anything new on the horizon they usually just come out with it. It does take after their silhouette preview style though, so maybe they're trying to be like Fans Project.

This is the year of fan toys everyone. Are we blessed? Or cursed?

Very interesting indeed. Looks promising from the silhouettes. Not enough for me to get G2 Prime but that's only because I don't really want a G2 Prime in my collection. The new feet make a huge improvement in my opinion. Here's (still) hoping for an evil repaint that this will work with.

I'll probably get this if the price is right, almost looks like Optimus stepped out of the Brave series! but if the price is a little steep i'll probably only get it for the inevetable RiD scrouge repaint. :D

I can understand having no gun and no trailer being a bad thing, but how come the flames are considered a con as well? I mean, the original laser Prime had them, RTS G2 Prime is only trying to be accurate, and if he didnt have the flames you would still find people complaining about that since, like I said, the original had them. >.>

I simply listed all the things people have been bitching about, and strangely most people complaint about the flames.
The only thing I don't like about him is the ugly alt-mode and the missing gun.

The original G2 Prime was and still is one of my favorite Transformers toys of all time! When I heard that we were getting an updated version in the Reveal the Sheild line, I may have squealed just a little bit...

I admit that the new sword, while definitely well designed, was a bit puny, but otherwise it looked good to me. That said, I will DEFINITELY look into this one if it isn't too expensive.

do quite like the look of this. sadly, no G2 Prime here, and the price will have shot up since these pics were shown.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.

I'm buying this.

Now we need to beg hasbro to give us Nemesis Prime so we can get a black version of this cause I want a RID Scourge darn't.

(Even though the original RID Scourge is awesome as is. Love that figure)

Kapow toys here in the UK is selling RTS Prime for £8.99. Also i picked one up from Smyths toystore on saturday for £9.99. I must admit the picture on the back of the box sold it too me, only to find out it looks pants due to lack of paint in robot mode....so annoys me when they do that

No one knows yet but I'd expect to see Seaspray and Powerglide first.
