Missed these when I was checking out Rodimus...

FansProject has also posted some new images of the G3 trailer with "blue prints" of the interior. Looks like it's going to hold a lot of promise. You might not to preorder that BTS trailer quite yet.

Oh, YES! I bought both Henkei and Classics Hot Rod ... after I got Henkei, I though I was foolish, but I can see now that I was just ahead of my time. Now one can be Rodimus and one can be Hot Rod.

The small accessories are also really nice. I'll probably be getting them. I'm still not 100% on board with that trailer, though ...

Yeah, the sound you now here is me kicking myself for not buying Hot Rod when he was at Walmart for $5!

DevastaTTor has brought to our attention FansProjects recent update which contains shots of a Matrix, Classics Megatron in weapon form, the inside of the Prime Trailer and a new project, which appears to be a conversion set that turns Classics Rodimus into Rodimus Prime!

Check out more pictures of the above projects HERE!

Cool, a news credit on my birthday. What a great way to end the day.

Now, if someone would like to give me a classics Hot Rod, that would the the icing on the cake!

Oh man, I gotta get another Rodimus? Oh well, the price one must pay for potentially awesome figures.

Ever noticed that since City Commander, these guys are tackling two of the bigger fan-customs around simultaneously? They must've made some serious dough from that.

I am thrilled that these professional grade customs just keep picking up steam, I love being a transformer collector these days.

Cant wait to see the rodimus add on

I agree. With so many projects coming out, I'm excited to see what's next. My wallet on the other hand feels otherwise.

well hopefully they will pass the savings onto ME!!! :grin:

love the prime trailer, i'm all for G1 fanwank

this means nemesis trailers out of the picture, as he's not a recognised character with a trailer in my eyes

protectors and must and the other two are only a must if the price is rite

Here's a shocker: on the BBTS site, when you click on the classics option, Henkei Prime has the top slot, followed in second by Henkei Hot Rod. They've got me RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT ME!

Me too!

Look at all the stuff in the picture of the G3 trailer. I see a sword, missile launchers, and a gun or too. Looks like I don't need the Gear of war set after all.

And that Rodimus trailer set! =P~

Damnit! I just promised myself never to buy any more fan made sets and now they go and make a preview for an for a fig that REALLY needs it. #-o

It looks like the Prime trailer holds a sword and a bunch of extra guns.

WHOA, I'm so buying the Rodimus kit!

If I remember correctly, the Megatron guns are the size of standard weapons for Classics toys, and the toy-accurate handle can pivot up and out of the way, revealing a post that'll fit into most hands from the Classics/Universe line.

On the FansProject site, they also have a picture of Protector in robot mode, which looks suitably awesome. Dammit, more of my money going to them...
