FansProject has uploaded the first photos of their Bruticus upgrade kit. And one of the big things is a brand new full figure of Blastoff, who is called Explorer. Also shown are new parts for Onslaught, and the upper half of the combined Bruticus. Photos here:

Nice

Robot mode looks good

Very nice. But it seems more involved than Superion ... and without a doubt more expencive.

Kool-Aid Guy said it best

Awww! Blast-Off looks so cute! Especially in that white prototype shot. He's like, "I can haz hands?!"

I wonder if they'll do Swindle too.

Even if this set is twice as much as the Superion set it'll be worth it.

Holy Slag this is just perfect . . .

Must buy upgrade . . .

Just need a Swindle and it will be complete!!!

Wow, I was not expecting a brand new toy (toys if they are giving swindle a new toy). I am a little concerned about consistancy between the originals and new ones.

Please, please, please do the same for Devastator.

Dear FansProject, thanks for the early Christmas gift. These pics look outstanding!!!

As expected, this revelation officially puts this "upgrade" kit at the top of my Transformers interest list for 2010, as Blast Off was always one of my fave G1 Transformers.

Very much yes

by **SJ21** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 7:54 am

Wow. That looks really good.

Calllllllllllled it!

Now I can't wait to see picture of "Runner" or "Swindler" or what ever they will call the Swindle type figure.

Definitely, I just hope it matches the Energon version too.

See man, it's all about the elbows B-)

(and the totally new figure doesn't hurt either)

This is AWESOME. Bruticus has always been my favorite combiner (thanks entirely to Swindle, mind you) and the repainted Superion limb I made just wasn't cutting it. While I simply wasn't a fan of their Superion Upgrade, this set may surpase everything else they've done! Plus, even Vortex gets a new chest and connector port!

Now, when i thought FP has out done themselves, here they go again on their own!! winning me over again!! i thought they did a great job for Ultra Magnus upgrade, then FP Primes Trailor, the Superion upgrade (which was a 200% improvement over stock limbs) and now this!! I'm just speechless about this and i hope this turns out just as good as it looks!!!!

GREAT FREAKIN JOB FAN'S PROJECT!!!

I can't wait to see more progress on this project.
