I'm sure BBTS will add more preorders as necessary.

Got both on preorder. So much for "sold out".

I can't say that MP Roddy is a "watered down" version of this at all, though. In fact, MP Roddy tops it a little in that Roddy never needed armor to become Rodimus Prime and always needed the trailer to become his vehicle mode.

Nevertheless, this is a set I'm looking forward to!

BBTS added more. 670+ available at the moment.

To me the MP Rodimus is what it is supposed to be. MP Rodimus is what we saw in the movie and the series. I see FP's take as an armor for the newer Neo G1 version of Hot Rod...err...I mean Rodimus.

well I ordered two of those targetmaster sets, and one protector. Sweet ....

I think that when people were talking about a "watered down" MP Roddy, they meant that they would spend the money on this FP release of Protector and wait for the anticipated "Hot Rot" Masterpiece that Hasbro may release in the US as an exclusive; this MP Hot Rod (or maybe just "Rodimus") would be a "watered down" MP Roddy because it would come without the Rodimus Prime trailer.

That's how I read the comments.

About time!! I hope TFSource get their pre-orders up soon. I've got some credit to use up with them and this would be perfect! At $10 I'll definately get Sidearm, but I'm a little disappointed. It doesn't look as amazing as I thought it would be coming from FansProject. Might have to keep an eye on that the one who's CGI renders were shown the other day.

Also, that Targetmaster doesn't seem to look like the CG renderings we saw a few days ago. Now I wonder who is making him?

It says it right on the pre-order screen..FP is making it..

Im all over this..It's gonna be epic seeing shadow scyther and Protector side by side with Superion and Bruticus as well as the City, shadow and DIA commander sets..That is gonna be one epic shelf!

Yes, they are making one but not this version that was shown a few days ago.

I wouldn't say it's better than MP Rodimus. I think Protector is great for Classics. But MP Rodimus is like the cartoon came to life :grin:

preordered both. nice of FP to provide a cheap upgrade in the form of Sidearm. SoC Rodimus is getting the armor and CaC Rodimus is getting Sidearm :grin:

Preordered both. Masterpiece Rodimus is just gonna have to wait.

News Credits: 5 · Thu Sep 09, 2010 10:01 pm

Finally, PREORDERED! Here Fansproject, just take my wallet!
Oh, and the Targetmaster too of course. I like not having to wait a year or some like we had to for the City Commander rifle & rockets. Now waiting on color pictures.

Good year to be Rodimus.

I know, it's Rodimus by the ark full.

Which is just pure win.

Had to break down and pre-order (both), especially after I stalked e-bay for so long to get a spare Classics Rodimus. Suck it, extra money!

Meh, not intrested. maybe if i can get the targetmaster seprately, then i'll get that, but i have no intention to get the trailer

You can get the targetmaster separately for $10...

Yep. I'm hesitating on getting the Targetmaster(though the price is awesome) because I know that that will lead to a downward spiral where I'll break and get Protector and then hunt down a Classics Roddy...

LOL Well, I was lucky enough to buy the Classics Hot Rod when it was available in retail so I kind of have no choice but to buy both the armor and the targetmaster. It is after all fate

Fri Sep 10, 2010 9:52 am

Good stuff, i'll definately get these.

Here's hoping FP will also produce a Targetmaster for Blurr.

Yeah, once again I kick myself for passing up TFs. For some reason, once I moved out of the apartment I shared with my roomie(also a huge TF collector), I got this strange idea in my head that wargames were more important than other things I collect and so I missed out entirely on Classics, 2007 Movie, and the majority of Animated.

Only now do I realize how stupid I was...
