Beelzeboss - Fanatic Lord (Nova Prime) Upgrade Kit for Battle Core Optimus Prime

Beelzeboss going all out on what appears to be a rather substantial upgrade kit taking the Voyager scale Battle Core Optimus Prime and giving him a Nova Prime makeover bumping him up to Leader scale!

Intriguing. But, will it turn into a trailer?

Interesting ... it might actually wind up looking a lot like Nova Prime.

interesting

Hoho, F%$K YEAH! Might have to grab a not nova prime once better picks come out. Since they can use the original o/p mold, I hope prototype pics show up before bcop disappears...

Sounds promising. This product as well as the kit for CW Prime to make him taller and more IDW-accurate look to be must-buy items for me. Good to see Beelzeboss is still making their rounds.

So it basically turns a flat misproportioned derp into a flat misproportioned derp with wings, big whoop!

Do you need a pre-order link bud?

This has potential. I had no desire to buy BC Optimus (I mostly got the first CW Prime because Classics Prime looked to be too small next to CW Leader Megs), but I might check it out depending on how this kit turns out.

You don't know what it'll look like

I say, keep an open mind, at least until pics come out of the prototype

I have hope for this, as I want to like this mold, I just can't as is (this coming from the one of the biggest haters of the mold...)

Not for me.

Not a Nova Prime fan? Shame, he's so cool too; I did like that someone on another site mentioned that trying to save this mold has become something of a community crusade

I already have FunPub's "Mini-Nova" and MakeToys version of Nova Prime, so I'm set for this character already.

I do think that this is likely the most in-scale option for Nova. Maketoy's is on the small side and MMC's looks to be too large. For a classics collection this may be just the right size. Not smaller than Mania King. Larger than Classics Voyager Prime (or the same size as CW prime).

Damn, I have MT's and FP's versions, but ... I'm a fool. And you know fools and their money. I guess it depends on cost.

Waiting to check out mmc's version, but this also looks cool, and may be cheaper too.

I'm liking this. I have a awesome upgrade from Shapeways for CW's Prime, I'm Aldo going to get the Beelzeboss upgrade for another CW's Optimus and I am Definetly going to pic this up as a Much more affordable version of Nova. I'm exited for this.

I'll take all the Nove Prime's you can give me.

While I like nova prime and will probably buy this upgrade I'm wondering if any company is upgrading battle core optimus into thunderclash?

I'd certainly love a thunderclash upgrade. Does anyone know if there's a thunderclash upgrade coming?

Don't know about anything official, but I, too, had that idea, and planned a whole customized team including TC, Boss, Hurricane, Flash, and Scorch, forming Turbomaster.

Given the comics are performing strong and selling toys I'm very surprised Hasbro didn't run with an idea like that. Instead of giving us the 84 ark autobots who have never fictionaly been combiners they could have given us thunderclash and four of his crew. Take the gamble and give us characters that haven't been done instead of shoehorning gimmicks into characters that don't need them.

It's been hinted at, but nothing official yet.

Hopefully this company do a thunderclash soon.

Has there been any word on when this upgrade kit will be released? I recently picked up BCOP on a whim and really like him, but I'd like him even more if he were Nova.

Beelzeboss has never been real good about deadlines, or even coming to market with everything they tease.

I don't think we've even seen prototypes of this, so it may be "never or close enough"
