Just got my Preordered Products email a few moments ago. I'm going to wait to ship mine, but for those of you that have been waiting, he's coming, so keep an eye out!

Same here - though the timing could NOT have been worse. I thought it wasn't supposed to come out until early April?

oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes.

Sadly I won't be shipping until may, but it's good to know that he's here.

Same boat. Shipping it all when Munitioneer hits.

I was quite surprised, but yeah, seems Fansproject got them out AHEAD of schedule. Meaning I'm going to keep my eye out for the Crossfire sets just in case it's the same with them. I was worried I wouldn't have enough, thank god for Pile of Loot.

Sveeet. Now that he's paid for, do I wait for the Crossfire set to arrive and ship POL, or do I just say effit and have them ship him now? Normally I'm a patient collector, but this guys just seems to awesome. Oh the dilemma!!

He sit's until the POL is full and ships. That's dangerous, as I am tempted to add more items to the POL while it waits for Swindle.

You wait. You wait and wait and gorge yourself on pictorial reviews until you have a huge box ready for you...then ship it, and enjoy \o/

Speaking of reviews, I'm hoping for one up by Thursday, think anyone's gonna get one up that fast? XD

Oh, I highly expect there to be a quick review tomorrow(for those who have chosen to overnight it), but I'm guessing a more in-depth review will probably be on Thursday. And as for having one today, well, maybe a BBTS employee was kind enough to buy one, eh?

I'm actually hoping to see another TFSource review on youtube. I like the quality and the production that goes into their reviews. Not like it matters since he's bought, but it's still cool to see.

Hmmmm, I wonder what his repaint will be? I mean...it's gotta come right? And no, I don't want to see a Sandstorm color repaint. Maybe a completely new color scheme for a new character. Black and red always works for me.

I'm actually hoping there ISN"T a repaint :lol:

My wallet would thank Fansproject for that mercy XD;

Vangelus has posted the toy gallery of the Warbot Defender, a creation by Fans Project. Defender is a triple changer that has 2 vehicle modes - helicopter and futuristic car.
Defender has just released recently and check out below for the images:

Its a nice figure, but for some reason, I just can't stop thinking of Roadbuster when I look at him. :S

Colors scream Roadbuster but the two alt-modes to me scream Springer. We just need a true to form Arcee!

I don't know that I can see the similarities in colour. Roadbuster is green, orange and brown, not green, yellow and grey. I can see that the robot mode does look somewhat similar, particularly with the chest and canister things.

Arcee is a good idea, but I think some third party company has one in the works already if I recall correctly. I'd love a decent Kup though (not keen on the Botcon one myself).

Damn fine looking figure though. Can't wait to get my hands on one. When are RK shipping this I wonder?

Actually some slight remoulding and a different deco and that would make a grate FP Roadbuster! :shock:

I forgot to mention in the video thread, I'm really glad he's taller than the average deluxe.

Here's your Arcee

I'd like to see a good Kup as well. It would be nice to see alot of the Wreckers IMO. But, first I'd like to See Bruticus and Protector finished up. I imagine a Crossfire 3 set including Devastator add ons isn't too far away from the production line either.

Defender/Springer does appear to be closer in scale with voyager class figures doesn't he?

It would pretty much be in the class of a Unicron Trilogy deluxe more or less.

Also yeah the holster thing is what pretty much sold me on this one.
Apart from the fact that I had preordered it and I wouldn't have had the time to stop it the day the reviews/pics came out anyway...
But at least I know that still I like it now!
