Another third party product seems to be under production. Artist Toys over at ACtoys shows off their latest creation, which will be an add-on for Masterpiece-02 Ultra Magnus. The Generation One hero is getting a Rifle available in two colours, Silver and Black.

The Rifle is subject to change, but it will most likely remain in those colours to suit Ultra Magnus' color scheme. If you want to look at the brilliance of Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, then you can take a look at Seibertron's gallery of the toy. Remember that this addition is not licensed by Takara or Hasbro, so buy at your own risk!

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for your latest news and updates!

The silver and black look good with UM. Sure it's not pure white G1 but it looks cool.

Looks great, but enough with the MP-02 'guns' already. Are there really this many people wondering why a G1 replica of the gun hasn't been produced? Seems to me this is an answer to a question that not many people are asking. Don't want to squash their creativity of course, but where's the armor? There's 1000s of MP-02 running around naked, right now. :-)

Imagine how towering MP UM would be in proper trailer armour.

I agree, the silver and black really brings out the detail in the rifle than the fully black one. :-?

This confuses the hell out of me.

We know this thing has been released before right?

I mean, it's been out for months.

So, either some other company is making a knock off of a third party piece, or "Import" company has made a new name and is selling their old stuff in different packaging.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this on the front page, CP. I've had that gun for months.

I've also had the gun for a while now.

Maybe they're gonna sell it separate from the roller.

Is the news here that they're going to release a black version of the gun? That would probably make sense for the current MP Prime/Convoy and the black version coming soon.

I think the black version is just the unpainted gray version...

Well, I was partially correct, just didn't see the Rollars coming-should have though with the current Rollar craziness. Add these to the ever-growing list of accessories I don't need. Not bad though for 17 and 9 bucks though.

The black roller would be well with the MP Black Convoy coming out. :-?

The black gun and roller aren't repaints. They're non-paints.

Maybe I should catagorize these as unpaints.

Thanks for the find. I ordered the gun. :-)

It's nice to have the gun-without-roller option.

I have no need to pay $30 for one accessory I want and one I don't. I was going to wait and see if the set went on clearance at some point, but this is a great option for me.

Hey does anyone know if the Fansproject Commanders can hold this cannon?

holy necro thread!

Wow, this thread was made 4 weeks after I had left for a while. And before the move to a 3rd party product forum.

For a topic this old, I would recommend just creating a new topic entirely instead of doing a bump on a 2 year old thread.
