You might have heard of CHMS already and if you haven't, they are a somewhat well-spoken off manufacturer of KO toys. They are known for their quality, compared to other KO toys that is and for their tendency to KO Transformers Classics molds and repaint them in any colour their costumers want. Recently it was revealed that they wanted to re-shell some of the molds they KOed, but now it seems like they have found something new to do: fan made toys - 3rd party so to speak.
There have been 2 projects of theirs floating around our forums lately, and we've decided to cover them in one story.
The first was dug up by fellow news hound El Duque: Two silhouettes of a figure that somehow has an air of Optimus Prime of no specific incarnation about it.
Those images are from their weibo blog page, since that is not a public site they have likely been leaked. Reportedly the only description or explanation for this toy is that it's
not Optimus Prime. This might mean that it's something that kinda looks like Optimus Prime but is not supposed to be him, or it's just a somewhat lazy way of naming a toy that is supposed to be Optimus Prime.
The next and far more interesting one was brought to us by our member Scaleface, design renders for a new Ultra Magnus set. A new G1 Ultra Magnus set with cab robot and trailer/armour.
And judging by it's engineering and design, it looks like CHMS has taken a few notes from
FansProject's City Commander. The cab section is reportedly the size of the Classics Voyager Optimus Prime mold, and is looks like it combines elements from that with elements from the Masterpiece Optimus Prime design. The size and first batch of pictures come from KOToys, click the images to get to their original posting over at KOToys.
Then there is a second more detailed set of images on this over at ACToys.
Some of these images are screen-shots taken from a video showing off the set and it's transformation, you can watch this video by clicking

No word on when any of these will come out but if there is any further development regarding these, we'll let you know.
