I didn't see a topic for this, and it came up on the recent BBTS newsletter. This is the Art of War Hero Rifle from ArtTek.

Here's the order page at BBTS

For $12 I might just add this to an upcoming order. I have wanted a more G1 looking rifle for Classics Prime, though it might be just a hair on the big side.

I handled these at Metrocon and they felt very strong and sturdy, however I don't really need it.

Yeah i think classics prime and his recolors have a fair amount of combat options available to them already. Maybe a weapon for someone else would be better

Ironically enough, their reasoning is it's not for any version of Prime, but rather the FoC Soundwave whose promo pictures showed him holding a G1 Prime gun.

Heh, that's funny. When I saw those pics of Soundwave, I thought, "Finally, I can have my Classics Prime holding a G1 gun." 8-}

I did see that and i did think it was abit silly to be advertising a 2013 figure with a 1984 weapon.

They should do a g1 grimlock gun to go with FOC Grimlock

Too late. I got 3 Dr. Wu Prime gunns already. And Soundwave with a Prime gun is stupid. I plan to buy him a G1 gun when I get hold of the Takara version which will be my classics Soundwave.

Neat, but my Gears of War II set handled my Classics Prime quite nice. And I have no intentions of buying FoC Soundwave either.

I can see this being used to replace a G1 Optimus gun simply because of the handle issue, but otherwise the appeal is lost on me, especially at that price...
