BlackMagnus, newest member of the Seibertron.com news crew, has dug up an interesting find.
Many of us are patiently awaiting the arrival of our FansProject City Commander Sets, and again, we get teased a bit more with pictures on HK-TF.net showing even more new pictures of this awesome customization alongside the Powered Convoy version, and the Nemesis version.
Also shown are a few images of the soon to be released Gas Tank/COnvoy Rifle custom accessory.
You can always get your fill of the beautiful City Commander release by viewing Seibertron's excellent gallery here. Should help tide you over until they ship to us.
And you can debate whether you think Fansproject will release the other two versions, or if they are just going to be things of legend that nobody else will be able to get a hold of, but will covet.

I thought that those 2 armour sets were slated for release. 
Depending on how much I like my City Commander I might buy all the variants!
The Nemesis armour does look really good. Might I say that it even looks better in those colors?

When I talked to the dude from Fans Projects at TFCon he said that neither of them will be released. They are more for their own collections. Makes sense too. Why not make a variant everyone wants then keep if for yourself!
I hope the next thing they do it a Power Master trailer for Classics Prime.

I'm willing to bet that they'll be changing their tune once they get the sales numbers in. If City Commander does well then they'll more than likely release color variants.
A Powermaster Prime would be cool, but I thought they were already working on a regular G1 repair bay style trailer for him.

I don't know how much equipment and supplies they have, but you would think they could natch a little extra cash with the black, and powered convoy versions. Maybe they are thinking too much of a good thing will kill the market, and they'll get stuck???
I know I would buy the other two and I don't have City Commander yet.

I'd buy both Powered Convoy and Nemesis variants if they made them. Especially if they came with that sword.

I can see why Powered Convoy might not sell as well as City Commander. Not because it's bad or anything, but because it's homage is a little more obscure to a large portion of the fanbase.
The Nemesis armour would sell like hot cakes though because everyone digs black! And if it came with the sword that would be awesome. RID Scourge's "Sword of Fury".

It's funny Prime now keeps in Matrix inside his pants. Instead of the chest.
Maybe it'd give him a power boost in there.

To respond to what somebody else said, I think it'd be awesome if they made a Powermaster Prime trailer... but I don't know how they could do it properly. Classics Prime isn't a Powermaster. Where would the Hi-Q fit? In the trailer?

I must admit the Nemesis color scheme really does look great on that armor, I'd love to try to get a hold of this if they do end up making it.
It would be cool to see Nemesis Prime, Ultra Nemesis, and Dark Rodimus all together.

I didnt say it wasnt a cool paint theme look, but they could come up with some new ideas for once. And i wasnt talking about these guys that made this i was mainy talking about Hasbro mainly.. They get stuck on a idea and they beat it to death because there too lazy to think of something new lol.. But These guys should have done a Diaclone version of this armor instead of follwing in hasbros footsteps and making a nemesis. I think Diaclone would have been a much better choice and shows some orginality instead of doing something thats been done to death..

If people keep buying it, why would they come up with something new? "Right, shall we spend vast sums of money developing a totally new idea, or shall we trot out a repaint that will sell just as well?" Seems like a no-brainer to me.

If we're lucky, BBTS will announce the City Commander as "in stock" tomorrow.
If Fans Project does release both sets of armour then I hope they do it soon. I'm going to be leaving for a couple years middle of next year and I'd like to get my preorders in.
