The Renderform facebook page has been updated with an image teasing a couple of Seibertron.com member Venksta's upcoming custom accessories. We see Reveal the Shield Jazz and a Protector clad Classics Rodimus holding new custom weapons reminiscent of the ones that came with the original G1 toys. Venksta promises more images and upgrades to Renderform website and shop soon.

I think the gun upgrade that comes with Protactor is already bad ass. Besides Protector is so far off from G1, why bother to give him a G1 gun. The Jazz gun is nice but the price will determine if it is worth the upgrade.

Im more interested in new heads then all these weapons Renderform is doing lately. I wish he would put the guns on the backburner for a while and start making Bumper, Hubcap, Roadbuster, and Vortex heads like he has planned. Any news on the Goldbug set I pre-ordered ???

I like the protector riffle gun.

They're very accurate to the G1 originals, but truth be told I've never been a fan of G1 weapons with Optimus' rifle being the exception. Nice though.

I gotta agree with this - I preordered as a 'pay later', as I didn't have the money to prepay at the time - but that was months ago!

The guy does sterling work, but seems to be spreading himself too thin on these kinda things.

The most obvious (and the reason I looked at this topic) miss is not giving RTS Jazz the G1 'over the shoulder' missile/cannon/whatever that gave the Autobots that classic look - surely the speaker clips on the doors or something can do this?

According to an update on his website, Goldbug's upgrades will start shipping out before 2012.

Nice, I like the Jazz gun quite a lot! I don't know if I'll go for it though, I'm pretty happy with the gun he came with. We'll see though, maybe I'll win one at the next local meetup!

I have the old BTS upgrade that came with the Photon Eliminator so I can pass on that and I'm not really feeling the jazz weapon mold. I'd love to see something new for Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen.

The Goldbug/Bumper/Hubcap sets are coming. Remember, garage kits here folks.

I can't wait to see the first works of the Sideswipe and Cliffjumper upgrades.
