Just spotted this over on Chimungmung.com.

Fansproject City Commander armour has been knocked off once again but this time given a minimal colour scheme in white with black hands, chest and knees (correct me if Im wrong) with a couple of coloured touches here and there, as the picture appears to show.
Bundled with the armour comes a set of shoulder missle launchers in white and gold, a white sword and clear case with mini energon cubes!

Chimungmung.com have this set available for £39.90 with $20 worldwide shipping.

More pictures to follow.

:BOT: :CON:

This set looks very interesting and makes for a very different take on the original Ultra Magnus armour. Perhaps inspired by the recent all white version of Classics Ultra Magnus?
Just need to see the set in full bot mode! ;)


I rather like this color scheme. I've contemplated picking this recolor up but it's not a priority for axquisitions.

This new repaint looks pretty cool in my opinion, works really well with the black ansd silver of a KO Nemesis Prime too! ;)

The mold still suffers from the same loose shoulders and lower arms, so a little customzing will probably be necessary depending on your usage?

On that, does anyone have a link to anywhere that gives the best tutorial on making good the KO armour? :-?

Maybe because this repaint is still fresh and new, but I am finding myself preferring this version so much more than the Nemesis/Shadow Commander version! :grin:

There was never specifically a Stormtrooper, but there were a few Clone Trooper transformers that, with a bit of paint, could possibly donate a head.

I suppose the things to consider would be if their ball joints are the same size as City Commander's (or if headsortails is willing to do a more complex mod to modify the size of the ball joint) and if the head would fit inside the City Commander mold when transformed into vehicle mode, as I would presume he'd want to keep it a functioning Transformer.

This needs to happen and I look forward to the photos! :grin:


Huh I could swear that I had seen one, however a quick Google confirmed you are correct. But hey the clone trooper route would work as well.

I have the original non KO chrome version and a non KO Nemesis version, I know that most like Fansproject Ultra Magnus best of the three or four non KO versions, that sadly I never picked up. This might be a good reason to finally pick up a KO of this mold since there isn't a non KO in this color. Try not to throw anything at me but dare I say I like this color version of Ultra Magnus over Fansprojects original Ultra Magnus City Commander. I take that back, who am I kidding, there is nothing better than Fansproject Ultra Magnus City Commander Ver. 2... But I like this non the less.

It sure does!

I looked over the figures I have on display after re-reading the comments about a Stormtrooper head, then spotted Classics Jetfire at the back of my Neo Wreckers shelf and thought that helmet might look good? ;)

The head of Classics Jetfire is on a ball joint also, but after checking, the ball joint of the armour is slightly larger and would not be able to accomodate 'fires noggin, plus it would look like a tribal shrunken head without the helmet and adding the helmet may have slight clearance problems? :-?

Not sure if I will attempt to paint over the blue on his lower arms, perhaps if the entire lower arm(our) was totally white, that would look pretty good too?
The blue would work ok with a Classics Ultra Magnus figure but I wanted this guy to have black legs to match the black knee armour? ;)

Im pretty lazy when it comes to things like touch-ups which I really ought to get around to, but now my good lady wife and I have little baby Daniel to adore, my priorities have changed!

Im currently working on creating a hover board for Daniel, so he can reach 'Lookout Mountain'! ;)

Beetlejuice came to mind when you mentioned the shrunken head :lol: but the blue on the arms aint so bad it fits with colour scheme even though it's sort of out of place a bit black paint is easy enough , sort of reminds me of a Ultra prowl ? if there was such a thing.

Just got mine in the mail (ebay for $58, free shipping), and I really like it.
I have the version 2 of the real Fansproject one, with a knock-off of the classics Magnus inside, and this KO with the real Henkei/United inside (as well as a KO clear DIA with Kold inside).
Honestly, as much as I like the real Magnus, the predominant white and black look really really appeals to me.

Scaleface wrote:CHMS is a manufacturing house. They made copies of the Classic Starscream, Voyager Optimus Prime, Animated Arcee, Universe Drag Strip and Sideswipe molds a couple years back. They manufactured the KOLD toys for KOToys (all using Classic Starscream and Optimus Prime molds).

With the problems with CHMS quality in their early toys, and the social issues with KOToys, CHMS pretty much has dropped the name of their company from their products the last 2 years.

CHMS are the guys who made a lot of the FansProject copycat toys too (Protector at least, possibly the others).

Since they are a manufacturing house, they also lend their machines and people to other companies, like X-Transbots, Unique Toys and KFC. Those companies design their own molds, but then have CHMS do the manufacturing. None of these companies advertise that CHMS is their manufacturer, and they all watch their QC closely before releasing their products, but some people still hear "CHMS" and get all crazy about them making low quality toys from 3-4 years ago. It's really not fair, as the quality of X-Transbots, Unique Toys and KFC seem as good as any other third party company.

But XTransbots doesn't design their own products, they just KO sets by Jizai Toys and don't forget their first release which was just a slightly changed (and better priced) KO of Crazy Devy's Devastator sets.
