Yes... from the bundle post by FPC (http://www.google.com/news/2012/11/30/s ... les-arrive)

Thanks to all of our patient fans. All pieces of our Warbot Bundle Inventory have arrived and all orders will be processed and shipped out by mid next week. We look forward to getting these to you and you enjoying all 3 bots in all of their glory!



For all of you that have ordered just the WB-002 Steel Core, we still do not have complete quantities of those, but will have those shortly too... so not much longer now.

Ah ha, thanks!

And as per FPC... http://www.fansprojectcore.com/news/201 ... nt-arrived

Thanks to all of our patient fans, we now have received our complete shipment of Steel Cores as of yesterday and have already started processing them for shipment. All orders will be shipped by the end of the week so we look forward to all of you receiving them next week!



Thanks again for supporting this 2nd run, we are happy that Steel Core has been so well received by the fans.

Sweet I cant wait to get mine!! I think Fansproject is doing an amazing job after a little bit of trouble after Steel Core was first released.

Well that was pefect timing! Guess I can expect him sometime in the next few weeks.

Got my SC today, can't wait to get this guy unboxed! Looks great!!

I got mine yesterday. Transforming him is a pain in the ass. All those tabs gotta be lined up just perfectly. And then that crotch piece you have to pull to open. It really feels like its gonna snap but it doesnt it's just scary tight. Still a great figure though.

Updates:

That does look pretty cool. If they do a run of both for BBTS, I would probably order it.

I like it, but I need to see some color pics of what it transforms into. I vaguely remember the drawings. But lets just wait and see...

Trailer looks nice.

Now i have a question, in my absence how many awesome things have I mist from FPC. You know last time I checked after deleting my account due to their retarded shipping costs they tried to sell multiple subscriptions with exclusive items.
Anyone care to share updates on the awesome must have stuff they payed for? Or in which way the fiction has evolved due to fan imput? Or what you can do with your crystals?

You've missed absolutely nothing my friend. Zilch. Nowt. Naff all. The square route of jack. Just the other day they renovated their website and I think moved to new servers, but there's been nothing new content-wise. I imagine the upgrade is leading to something, but no news yet.

I really like the look of this trailer. It integrates so well with Steel Core you'd think it was one piece. This thing is meant to hold a load of the Powermaster-like figures, right? So where the hell are they? It's so frustrating how slowly everything associated with FPC seems to move.

Nothing new content wise... hmmm...

Are you suggesting there is?

Until today there has been four half-arsed announcements since December that haven't led to anything, and certainly nothing that could not have been learnt of from any decent Transformers website or facebook.

So, are we going to see a reissue of Steelcore to go along with this trailer? If so, I might go for it. Otherwise, I really don't feel like paying after market prices for the Steelcore base. There are too many other things coming out.

Seeing as Steelcore is currently FPC's one and only claim to fame, I think a reissue is in order to go with this trailer. It helps people who were reluctant the first time 'round and have heard the positive word of mouth. This is just my speculation, though.

By that do you mean it's the only original bot they put out?

What does this trailer do in robot mode? does anyone know? I sold my Steelcore after deciding it doesn't work in my collection. I would re-buy this again if they sell Steelcore with the trailer this time around and that the trailer actually does something... does it combine? so much lack of info on this.. (unless I miss stuff)

Fantastic, good to know they still don't live up to the name of FansProject.

FansProject Core is not the same as FansProject.
I believe that the site started out as actually being FansProject, but was later taken over by someone else who have since stated they are a separate entity from FP and that they want to be the TFCC of the 3rd Party world and carry stuff from all 3rd Party groups.
The evidence is that when the site first went up the press releases where all in pretty bad English and FP's site stated that it would close down and use FPC as its new site. Then after a while of no updates, FPC suddenly updates with pretty damn good English.
Also FPC is based in Canada and have actually told me in an e-mail that they are not the same as FansProject, while Venksta insisted that they where, and since even Venksta states that they're not the same as FP.
So yes, Steelcore is their only claim to fame. A shame really that it's only available through them and their sh*tty ripoff shipping.

Fansprojectcore is ran by Ages3andup. I'm not sure if they did originally or not though.

The fact that there are new pics? That's not new news to you? The new images came straight from their site... Sorry if that's not new news to you.

Rumors - take it with a grain of salt

SC will be re-released (Most likely to be true)
Trailer will have the other Steels (Likely to be true as well)
Other modes for the trailer (We don't know yet).
Overload add-on/upgrade (Venksta confirmed this with me)
SC in other colors (Doubtful)

The way I understand it, they wanted to be FP's exclusive marketing division and distributor. They commissioned Steelcore from FP as something only they would carry to help put them on the map. How well that's worked is up for grabs.
