Also, I cannot spell "Causality" to save my life.

I’m interested in whom the combiner units are… but I’m really interested in the listings! You have a point about the SG Springer but I wondering if it’s another Wrecker! The CA-06 and 07 any idea who they will be?

I love FansProject, but from the getgo I had a feeling that putting out a release schedule was going to haunt them.

SAFE!! They promised the first would be available in March and made good on it!
And with April's a day early it's 61 days until the next one's due!

Somehow, the very fact they did it (albeit with hours to spare) makes me even more excited. Like, maybe after all the people glumly waiting and wondering about Protector for a year, they're trying hard to be more professional or something.

I don't usually feel comfortable enough to speak for other people, but I feel quite confident in saying they cost a little more than I think most people were expecting. I'll be checking RobotKingdom twice daily.

As cool as these figures are, I'm mostly excited for CA-03 to 05. FansProject, please don't tease us with images and details until closer to release dates. My blood pressure can't handle the months of anticipation.

I'm not real surprised on the price. They hit the ballpark range I was guessing. Really happy they are now on preorder though. I've been needing a FP fix.

Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:03 pm

Canceled my cygar kup igear heads and put the PO down on Flameblast...

Here's my line up for The Fallen Mercenaries so far:

Shadow Scythe
Shadow Commander
Henkei Dark Skyfire
Blesser
Flameblast
Nonsecticon Ninjas

Now, if only FansProject could conceptualize a The Fallen :BOOM:

Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:10 pm

Mine.

I think I'm gonna pass this time around. As much as I want another awesome space shuttle figure in my collection, I need to save my money for the Insecticons. I was hoping these would be a little cheaper, but considering the originals cost, what, $60? This price makes sense. That does mean, however, I'll be dropping almost $140 on the Insections.... #-o

Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:36 pm

see this is why i hate FP because the stuff is so good i have to buy 2 of each and twice a year was no biggie but this onslaught is going to suck... and i still want a 3rd warbot and sets of explorer and munitioner for display in alt modes. not cool.

the insecticons look great i hope they are chromed, but i know they wont be... oh well, more awesome.

I just want a devastator upgrade so he will look good next to bruticus's awesomeness.

well if i am going to go broke i might as well go for gold and wish for FP or PE to make scout class sized Bumblebee, cliffjumber, brawn, cosmos, sea spray, Power glide and beach comber.

Ok, couple of things, ONE: Preordered both of these guys. I've been behind on Fansproject stuff everytime and got burned a little, so...Got 'em. Can't wait to get these in and put Swindle and Blastoff back on Bruticus (yes I call them by their names

). Right now I have my Universe/FP Bruticus with all 5 of the original figures. It's not perfect but the two FP Combaticons look so cool I could not hide them in the combined form.

TWO:(sorry this is so long) the next Warbot will have something in common with Springer. Same name (WB002) means some similarity. Ready? Blitzwing. We got got Octane and Astrotrain in classics and I really believe this will be a triple changer. I hope.

I agree that is is hard to keep them in combined mode. That's one of the biggest selling points of these two new figures for me. I can keep Bruticus in combined form and get the enjoyment out of the amazing molds with Warcry and Flameblast.

Plus these guys have more interesting weapons, frankly.

I agree, these are definitely a step further in the right direction.

Oh, look. Just as I was planning to finally get my computer bought this shows up. *tears up plans*

Thu Mar 31, 2011 4:19 pm

Preordered. So, so so preordered.

Now we need them to make an Arcee.

I highly doubt that FP will just make a upgrade set like the one for Superion for Devastator. To do upgrade for Devastator correctly, they need to really replace the body with two new bots. And replace parts for the 4 limbs to make them look more like G1 Devastator will not be easy, and require complicated parts swapping from us, the fans. I'm not sure how many of us are willing to do that (they would probably also need to include a screwdriver). Their third combiner set is more likely the pre-history combiner set they teased us in the manual for one of their previous creations (I forgot which one).

I don't know man, I like my Valkyrie ALOT! Although it's not perfect, FP would have a tough time improving on that.

I would like to see them make the Sharkticon that never got a toy (not Gnaw), the alligator looking one.

I like Valkyrie, too. Perfect for Classics. But as very good as that is, a Fansproject Arcee... come on. It'd be flippin' awesome.

I love that guy! He's awesome!

I'd be all over a version of that, done in a similar style to Impossible Toys Arcee (I'm a G1 collector, so for me it makes more sense)
