I've posted a pictorial review of Fansproject's latest Crossfire release onto my website. I thought that I would share it here with the thousands of other TF collectors out there.

There are over 100 pictures in my review. Here's a link to it: http://vakamadisk.webs.com/pictorialtfreview01.htm

Enjoy the eye candy and thank you for reading.

Nice job man, I like how you go into all the details of transforming Bruticus and his parts. gonna have to go take another look at what i can do with this guy.

Just finished my own review on this set using the Energon Bruticus Maximus. hopfully it'll add a few more options to what's already been shown

Excellent review, thanks for sharing! I love the variety of pictures, as well as the step-by-step details on how to deal with the difficult parts of the transformation. Very informative, and well done! :APPLAUSE:

Cool, good review too. It looks pretty decent with the Energon set. :D

Thanks. You did a pretty good review, yourself. I do agree, the Energon set is a little more G1-accurate in colors. ROTF Onslaught's legs should have been painted with Energon Barricade's leg colors.

I'd say the Energon set with ROTF's Vortex would be the most accurate. I'm still not impressed with ROTF's Brawl. The muted colors do fit in with camo better, but the color scheme still isn't "right". Energon Kickback's a bit brighter than camo is, but it's a nice, solid green and isn't problematic.

Vortex is G1, through and through, but he's hard to get a hold of now, and Energon Blackout's purple isn't so prevalent that it's off the wall and draws your attention away from the rest of the set.

In a perfect world, we would've received the set in G1 colors and that's that. Ah well, it's a damn nice set, as is.

Awesome review man. Again, if I was someone that was on the fence (who are they?) this would sway me. But I'm a FansProj whore so they already me working their corner.

Awesome!! just an Awesome review!! 2 thumbs up by far!!
I just got this set Wednesday and not alot of time to "play" or finnagle" with it if you will, but this set/kit comes highly i mean highly recommended by far. I have most of FP items for my Transformers collection and no doubt about it, i'll keeping buying from them as them come out with more new items for Transformers. On topic, I'll say this step-by-step review is one of the best I've seen in awhile and for those who was on the bench just thinking about buying this upgrade set, well just read this review, it will change your mind 200%. Also, you might wanna have your credit card ready as well..
