3rd Party Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime?

3rd Party Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime?

Motto: ""I am a Prime. I do not take orders from you!""
An early concept of Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime by Don Figueroa for Transformers/GI Joe crossover that eventually didn't come into fruition.
However, seems like a Japanese third party company named as "xovergen production" will have their take on this creature of Don Figueroa and turn into a toy.

xovergen production has posted a silhouette of the alternate mode of Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime, or rather Supreme Tactical Commander-Grand Patriot . It also mentioned that this toy will be released at the end of 2010, with a transforming robot and a commander base.

I'd have to see what he looks like (comic, not toy) before I'm sold on the idea. Then I'd need to see the finished product.

I do so love these 3rd party companies. At least they'll do what Hasbro hasn't.

I'm not putting Hasbro down, but lately these companies have been earning my money and they deserve it.

Okay, yeah, that could be awesome.

That's kinda awesome. I'm hoping the quality is a bit more in step with FansProject than other third party offerings. Of course at this stage, the entire thing could turn into a giant turd. I have high hopes for this one.

Gonna take a wait and see approach, but let's hope this can turn out as good as a Fans Project toy. But for now, I'm kinda excited, and I've been wanting a green colored prime in my collection for sometime now.

Now we just need that Dominator Megs and I'm set!!

I'm all over this if the design is accurate and it fits the Classics/Henkei scale figures-but definitely not if these guys don't prove themselves a worthy player in the third party universe. I'm getting tired of 3P vendors showing flashy ideas and prototypes and then failing on QA/QC and materials quality.

I have bought stuff from encline designs before and his stuff is AMAZING..right on par with frenzyrumble and Jin Saotome..If this offering is even remotely like this it'll be amazing..We could possibly be seeing the 3rd party balance of power shift towards someone else besides FP..It is of course far too early to tell but the mere possibility is worth getting excited for...

Or blurred out pictures that tease you with enough to get an idea, but not enough to see what it really is. I think I much prefer silhouettes.

It's like being a starving bum and just not quite reaching that can of beans.

If the figure turns out half as badass as the drawings, then we should be in for a real treat. Hellz yeah!

So I have a question. Now that we have the human alliance line. Why cant hasbro make a gijoe transformers crossover and make the figures the size of the human alliance figures. They can make each transformer come with a gijoe figure and make them all the same scale as the human alliance figures. win win. :grin:

WOW!!! Thanks for the love guys!!!!

I gotta say, I am quite happy that they announced this a couple of weeks before I put my ROLLING THUNDER Prime up for the offering!

So yeah, the big question.....will it be in scale with Joes....

I doubt it.. the price point would be WAY to much for us. I personally am glad to see this mold getting some love. However, I wish Hasbro would have made this line.

I am sure I will pick this up to paint it...hahah..wait wait wait....:)
