Hello, All TF fans! The UM trailer Armor is called: “City Commander”, it’s a fully transformable, completely colored and assembled. Same as the CJ upgrade kit which is designed and fan-made by us. These Fan-made projects are the first two projects we worked on. The CJ upgrade kit was a limited run with very low quantities produced, which were just enough to offer to some fan-clubs only. Unfortunely, City Commander will be limited quantities with a locked SRP, and mainly offered to North American Fans this time. Please contact your favourite online retailer for more details about the City Commander. Thanks and please enjoy these preview pictures!

That is looking really nice. I can't wait for a chance to grab one for my Magnus.

FansProject,

What online stores are you planning to distribute this upgrade set through? And if we are to E-mail a store inquiring about it what is your company name? That way we can tell the stores to look into purchasing some from you.

I am asking this because I am very interested in purchasing the upgrade and don't want to miss the chance to own it.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into designing it.

Coolpop wants it too.

Can you please provide pics of the armor in trailer mode? Thanks!

This is the response I received back on Feb 28th when I emailed BBTS this very question so I know they are interested. Like I told BBTS when I emailed them: if they carry it, I'll preorder two of them. Same goes for the Prime trailer from earlier this week.

Transformable AND spiffy looking? I'm set.

Too bad "limited" pretty much translated to "cooking your boots to feed yourself expensive" :\

Oh, this looks BOSS!
So, any predictions on cost?

Holy Mahoney :grin:

Sign me up for one.. To bad Classic Ultra Magnus is unavaliable in Norway. Guess I'll be searching for it on Ebay now

I can't wait for this to become available, it's a definite preorder.

News Credits: 3 · by **Autobot Jazz** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 5:39 am

I can't wait for this to be up on BBTS. I just hope it's not as expensive(or more) than the CJ upgrade.

Oh I would pay the most likely outrageous fee for this since it's going to be a limited run. This is exactly what we need to set UM apart from Prime.

I find the pouty lips a little odd, but all in all, I will certainly be checking around for City Commander, as he looks perfect. Here's hoping he and the Prime trailer are both decent prices!

I, too, would like to see the price on this set, but those pics clinched a buy for me... I can't wait to see the trailer hooked up to Magnus' alt mode, either.

Come on make it avail to Europe as well i want one too.

from looking at a long time i dont think he can transform in to trailer mode but its still in prototpye stage which could be the reason why its taking so long robot mode and to make transform into truck mode looks great looking forward to final version & boxart

by **qwailo** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:08 am

MAN! North America only? Why? Have they not looked at their own product?????

They should increase the production of that UM-Armor because i would bet MY LIFE that a majority of the people using this site, other sites and all transformers fans will want that!

Why issolate potential customers?

by **leader magnus prime** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:11 am

where could i get one :-?

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:14 am

Good looking! It is super nice, and will be a nice addition for some folks to put on their CLASSICS UM.

by **Glitcher** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:34 am

Still looking good, but I don't understand why it should be limited to North America. I'm in Belgium, so does that mean I won't be able to order it?

by **Talous** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:53 am

As awsome as that looks I really doubt it'll be in my price range. Here's hopeing though.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 11:14 am

I MUST have one of these sets!

I hate that it's always just the US that receives these things.

by **Optimus_Prime_Al** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 11:18 am

Where can I get that and a new keyboard because I just ruined my work one because I drooled all over it.

News Credits: 5 · by **zodconvoy** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 11:19 am

Well, I just emailed BBTS about it again. Fortunately, I had the reference number and their response email so it shouldn't be too long until I get a response. When I do I'll post it here, again.

This seems a little backwards to me, us having to coldcall retailers. Not much of an announcement when you think about it, just new pics.
