List of 3rd party releases that made a second more G1 accurate run

This is really left field...

But if you were bothered by MMC Bovis and Fortis original faves or Bovis not having red hooves, you are forced to buy Felisaber which is a pointless repaint/retool if you only care about Predaking and not pretender Catilla. While the repaint itself was not a double dip scam, not making the extra parts pack available alone for people who only wanted a traditional Predaking was kind of a low blow. It was more of an incentive that a bonus.

Same with FP Sludge's hips that comes with Swoop, feels like another incentive for me to buy swoop (which im on the fence about even with the new blue chest)
just hate the wings and bird mode so much.

Oh don't forget to throw in the "Snowman" edition of the Fansproject Superion upgrade set.

At least we could buy the shoulder missiles separately, if I recall correctly. He's at home and I'm at work, but I'm pretty sure I was able to buy those missiles later.

If this is true (I have no idea) we should probably take him off the list yes?

That's not why I suggested him. Moulding changes allowed you to use the missiles in vehicle mode. It's a very small change, but it's there.

Can you believe there is a Wikipedia entry on City Commander?

Wikipedia wrote:Toys[edit]
FansProject TFX-01 City Commander (2008)
A new mold meant to be added to the Classic Voyager Ultra Magnus toy, although it fits on any toy that shares his mold. Turns from a trailer in vehicle mode to a set of armor and a large gun in robot mode.
This toy was remolded and recolored into Shadow Commander, Powered Commander and D.I.A. Commander.

Reprolabels Classic Ultra Magnus (2008)
A set of labels meant to make City Commander looks more like the Generation 1 Ultra Magnus toy. Includes Autobot symbols. This set was released on New Years Eve 2008[11]

FansProject TFX-03 City Commander Add-On Set
An upgrade set for City Commander which includes two missile launchers and a new rifle.


Reproduction TFX-01 City Commander (2009)
An unlicensed reproduction of the City Commander by a company in China. Made to look like the original toy, but with some small differences.

FansProject TFX-01 City Commander reissue (2009)
This version came with the TFX-04 additional rifle, shoulder mounted missile launchers, and some slight remolds.

Broken Arrow Toys City Commander Missile Pods
A set of white missile pods and red missiles for City Commander by Broken Arrow Toys.[12]


Purple emphasis mine to point out the add-on set. I think it was around 2008 or 2009. I believe the reissue came with the missile pods.

I was thinking of this one as well. It is technically less G1 since version 2 doesn't include the silencer and Stock. but with thew new Head it could be more G1 Marvel comic accurate. I don't think anyone who wanted Hegemon wanted it to be G1 Marvel Comics accurate, but I guess we can't assume that.

I will add it.
