[RodimusConvoy13]

Site sponsor TFSource has posted a preorder for the FansProject Shadow Scyther Trailer upgrade for Shattered Glass Rodimus. This set is exclusive to TFSource in North America. Preorder the item here.

Product Description:

This set is exclusive to TFsource in North America!

This set has it all! Includes all of the parts needed to combine with the shattered glass Rodimus and form Shadow Scyther, an alternative universe evil version of Rodimus. Fits the Henkei, Classic, or Botcon versions of Rodimus, and includes the recolored trailer, plus the following bonuses: Evil Face, Chain Sword, Scythe Attachment! This kit is amazing and has 3x the complexity of City Commander, and the bonus parts are only included with Shadow Scyther, not to be sold with the regular colored set!

Note: This set is also very limited, with the least units produced of any Fansproject piece since the Snowman set and Cliffjumper add-on both of which now sells for many times their original value!

Damn, I just did a whole write up on this and was posting. DOE!

Whoa, really badass scythe he has there. Now it really makes me wish I had SG Rodimus to compliment this.

We're able to pre-order Shadow Scyther, but not Rodimus Prime? That doesn't make sense.

Not interested. I was hoping for another G1 homage.

No doubt...talk about bass-ackwards. I hope this one is more spendy than the Rodimus set, too.

Pre-order done!!!

Now I have to get SG Rodimus or Henkei Wildrider. Either way my end of year bonus is almost gone when December/January rolls around.

I thought they would have went with the whole clear set, but FP is catering to the US with a Christmas exclusive. So is this another "Stocking Stuffer" campaign like the Snowman set?

Cool if it is because I remember last year how much people kinda balked at the Snowman set, but I was the first to report the kit went well with Superlink Superion.

Gotta plan my list for exclusives now so I don't overspend.

I hope not. I was hoping we'd get repaints of Munitioner/Explorer which would have made more sense since that set has actually been released. It's really bizarre that we're getting this preorder before the regular set.

Am I Missing Something? Where is the Protector Armor Pre-Order? I have Zero Interest in this one.

I agree. More like a G2 recolor would turn the Energon/Superlink version into a G2 Bruticus, or Battle Gaea. It would seem since RobotKingdom also has it for Preorder, we may still get our wish.

And that what's puzzling to me. TFOsurce is claiming low numbers because of the Cliffjumper and "Snowman" sets, however, the "snowman" set was their exclusive, supposedly limited to 500 pieces worlwide, with tow online stores calling perodrers how low will the numbers really be?

My guess is it has to do with SG Rodimus/Henkie Wildrider having low numbers. FP doesn't do anthing just so. I want one and I will get Henkei Wildrider. Saw one o for $199 so I'll keep a watch. I have his story planned that he scanned Rodimus when trying to recive an earth form, simialr to Black Convoy scanning Fire Convoy in CarRobots.

And one more thing, when will the regular set be up for preorder, this is going to be one heay hit to the wallet I can afford.
