TFCon.ca has posted an image gallery of the TFCon exclusive Powered Commander, a repaint/remold of the City Commander armor in Diaclone Powered Convoy(pre-Transformers Optimus Prime) colors.

http://www.tfcon.ca/gallery/TFcon-2009- ... -Prototype

This set is limited to 500 pieces and only available at TFCon. Which is Canada's Annual Transformers Convention at the Doubletree International Plaza Hotel, on April 25 & 26 in Toronto, Ontario. This set will not be reproduced for mass market.

As far as I know, you can still pre-register to reserve a set for yourself. But they are only available to attendees. It should be noted this is not the final product. The final product's colors may vary(probably a redder red) and will include shoulder cannons and a suitcase of energony goodness.

Thank you to my Canadian friend who has in his benevolence, saved the lives of all the people I would have had to kill in order to get this toy. :lol:

God Bless you Canadians, you are without a doubt, the favorite hat of the United States. :APPLAUSE:

Thanks for the heads up!

Should be noted though that many of these pics were seen last year. http://www.fansproject.com/?page_id=31

Not a huge fan of this scheme on Prime, but I must say the colors look great when it is a attached as a trailer. Looks really sharp.

I can't wait to get my Powered Commander. All I need is a Henkei Prime to put the armor on.

I love his suitcase full of energon goodies.

*sigh* It makes me sad that I will never own this. :-(

So I wonder how long it will take for BBTS to post a preorder for this... for about 400 dollars.

Seriously though, I know there probably won't be a version made public of this particular paint scheme but I hope that there's version with a more "Prime" oriented paint scheme created to somehow accompany the upcoming G3 trailer. This one is beautiful but alas, I'll never be able to justify buying one third party or on eBay.

I noticed the prototype in the pics is painted for the Henkei Convoy, whereas that piece pf artwork makes the product look more like it's for the hasbro version.

Ah hell, now you're forcing me to go to my "happy place"... GA/FL 2007. I've cast the nightmares this year's game out of my memory. :roll:

Well the more people talking about it and appraising it here or other boards, BBTS will have no problem listing it for $400 (i know it's exaggerating) given that their pricing is only second to toywiz.com but that's another story. It'll be interesting to see how much this thing is really going for.
