It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

So who thinks it'll be long before we see a Powermaster Prime version?
They're already making one for Optimus, but it'll be in the Diaclone Powered Convoy colors.

I didn't think there was any confirmation of this. They had a mockup of both Powered Convoy and Shadow Commander at a toy show, but at that time, they stated that they were one-offs, and that they would not be mass produced. Then they created Shadow Commander...
While it's true that Powered Convoy was portrayed in their instruction booklet for City Commander, I hadn't heard any confirmation, one way or another, than it was actually going to be produced.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I confirmed earlier today that Shadow Commander will come with two faces. The original face with a mouth, and this new face with the faceplate. And they'll be easy to switch around.

That sounds cool except for one thing, at least a few people have reported a weak neck on CC. Hope they improved the strength of that area of the mold since surely it will have more stress being put on it with people moving the head around to get the alternate face in position.

They seem to be aware of the issues people have had with City Commander. That is one of the reasons the mold is being fine tuned for the Shadow Commander release.

I have a gripe though...the day I got my City Commander his chest plate broke. Apparently others have had issues with the head. My gripe is this...
I spent $80+ on City Commander, he broke the day I got it and transformed him the first time, and so I emailed Fansprojects going on 3 weeks ago and haven't heard a peep. I realize they are a small outfit, but you would think that an email could've been answered in 3 weeks?!? Not to mention it would be nice if us consumers were compensated in some way or fashion for these issues. I don't expect anything for free, but come on, there is obviously some serious QC issues. Despite investing $80+ we just have to "suck it up," or "deal with it?" What do ya'll think???

Due to the nature of international orders and the nature of a fan company making unofficial figures, fans are probably on their own with this type of product. I wish that wasn't the case ... just being blunt. That's the problem with buying an unofficial product which is why Hasbro doesn't want items like this being made.

Seibs is right, that's the burden we bear with unofficial figures. Still, if they keep coming up with concepts like this and the WSt Dinobots we'll keep on buying them.
Habsro will have a hard time ever weeding them out at this rate.

To be honest, I am not worried about Hasbro... I don't even look at it that way. Official or unofficial... I simply look at it as they made a product and should be responsible for it.
All in all, I think I am more upset by their lack of follow up with the email that I sent about City Commander. I didn't expect a follow-up that day, heck not even that week, but I would've liked to have gotten something back the same month that I sent it. As a person who works in a customer service capacity, I'd just like to see that they care about those of us shelling out the money to buy their product.
I'm keeping my preorder for Shadow Commander, but their lack of follow-up and/or concern will probably keep me from buying anything they produce in the future...no matter how cool it is.
