The long wait is over, site sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted the long awaited preorder for this figure, which will elevate Classics Rodimus into Rodimus Prime!

Check out the preorder by clicking here

Think that's everything, there's more. Also there is a preorder for an aditional figure, called Sidearm, which turns into a weapon for the bug guy, and turns into a little robot that can station Protector's gun platform. His preorder is here.

Get them before they're gone!

I was originally all over this, but due to the announcement of MP Rodimus, Takara will get my money this time around, sorry FP...

I will be getting the Target Master however!

I'm so excited for this set. I can't wait to have universes collide and have Protector fight Shadow Scyther!!! :grin:

Awesome! Now waiting on TFSource.

Also, that Targetmaster doesn't seem to look like the CG renderings we saw a few days ago. Now I wonder who is making him?

Fan-freaking-tastic! Fansproject has done it again! :APPLAUSE: And here I thought there wasn't anything more they could do to surprise me. Boy, was I wrong! His Targetmaster partner not only transforms into the classic modes, he can man the battle station, AND combine with the wing parts to form a crossbow for an Animated Rodimus homage! Amazing! :D

My money is faithfully theirs.

Prices are very reasonable too. $82.99 plus $9.99 for a targetmaster-size figure? That I can do. (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Perfect Effect :P)

I thought the same prior to purchasing this...but I rather get this one and wait for the watered down Hasbro version in a year or too :lol:

Preordered. Fricking sweet! And it's nice that Sidearm will help further differentiate Protector from Scyther.

Ordered mine, I just hope that December release date isn't as far out as Crossfire's 4 month difference.

Have the G1, and despite digging this and the MP edition, I have to focus on the holes in the collection first. Will grab the Targetmaster though. That is a great price. :D

Meh I'll be okay. Only have to get about 4 presents and I usually get them in November regardless.

Pre-ordered both. If I am right are the "crossbow" attachments teh add-on wings for bot mode? similar to those on shadow scyther? Either way I am really craving some color photos here-or renderings like scyther.

"Extended wings are in Orange." As in, the Classics version? Funny seeing as how it looks like they're using the gold winged Henkei version in those pictures.

Looks like the orange comes with Protector and the chromed comes with Sidearm.

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but there were some comments about who "Guardian" is from the comic preview for Protector. It appears from this we can now say that Guardian is the battle station/trailer of Protector.

I found that interesting.

It says it right on the pre-order screen..FP is making it.. 8-}


Im all over this..It's gonna be epic seeing shadow scyther and Protector side by side with Superion and Bruticus as well as the City, shadow and DIA commander sets..That is gonna be one epic shelf!

(best read with German accent) WAHAHA WhY nOt ScAn BoTh?

But yeah, that's like saying you can't get Classics Grimlock because you're getting MP Grimlock. Really, the sky's the limit. Or your bank account. Whichever comes first.

1. Money.
2. I don't like Rodimus that much. :P
3. There are other toys/figures I would rather.

Wow, FP really knows how to make your dollar count. It's awesome that Firebolt is coming back, and great since I never had him the first place. Plus all those additional accessories just make pure WIN, and as always their accessory kits for their add-on kits are worth and affordable.


Hmmm... this guy looks a lot different from the CGI renders. I wonder if the CG one is FP, than is it an early concept render?

If not, I'd love to pick up the other guy, can never have enough modern Targetmasters.

Pretty sure they're different Targetmaster figures.

If so, sucks for those other guys.
