Put it all together and you've got the freaking truth. I justified the high prices to myself for Devastator. I'm not doing it for every combiner. Their stuff is just too much money. No way I'd pay more than $20 for their kits. They're good stuff but no more. I know they can't be blind to the backlash.

Agreed.

So what are they and for which Transformer figure are they?

We would also like to know this, in a shocking turn of events CrazyDevy have taken their teasing to the next level and give no indication of what these parts are.
Visit their website by clicking their information packed teaser:

And join the speculation as to who these parts will upgrade by clicking here!

I applaud the sarcasm here.

WIN!!

I figure it won't be Fort Max because he's way too expensive & fairly rare. don't think it will be Bruticus because with FP doing their "classic" Bruticus, everybody is focusing on that so it would be extremely ill advised to try to develop hype for the G1 at the moment. perhaps Pirahnacon? Doubt they're going to mess with PM Prime/Ginrai. he's too great to sully with their stuff.(I love the devy upgrades, but come on. would you want to modify your God Ginrai?).

I'll guess Piranhacon too, because of two movie connections: The naval warfare film 'Master and Commander', and the current 'Piranha 3-D'. Oh yeah, and the BBTS reissue.

Since the Seacon gestalt didn't have too many U.S. media appearances for his toy to be inaccurate to, I'm not sure just what the upgrade would be though, unless they think there's demand for that 8-barrel rotary turret on Snaptrap's back in his TFU illustration.

I did mention to them a while back that good new project would be power parts for Power Master Optimus Prime or God Ginrai. Maybe they took my advice? Definitely more articulation and better looking arms or even legs. A new head can be made with a ball joint neck. As far as God Ginrai you can give him bigger wings, better forearm and feet attachments. Tight!

This might actually make me cry tears of nerd-joy. I'm pretty certain of it.

I'm over these guys-their vague teasers and broken up kits. More money for Fansproject.

Curse you, Crazy Devy. I hate teasers, they're so... teasing. My guess is probably for someone in the PCC line, via Master Commander Power Parts. It's probably upgrades for the drones, or for the central Commander figure itself. If it is for PCC, I will be expecting donations of Energon in the HMW game.

I dunno if you can call these teasers. They aren't teasing us with any products. They're just announcing they're making something without giving us any clue about what it could be.

I don't know if this increases or decreases the likelihood of it being PM Optimus, but there already is an upgrade kit for God Ginrai. It was years ago, before all these 3rd parties started cranking all this stuff out, and sold through BigBadToystore and likely other outlets. It wasn't as good as current upgrades, as it included replacement arms that made for more dynamic posing but left him unable to transform out of robot mode without breaking out a screwdriver and slapping the old arms back on; the parts couldn't turn into anything else. It did indeed include bigger wings, and angled feet so his legs could be spread out.

Anyone remember what that was called?

We shouldn't post this as news (aka give them free advertising) without them actually showing product.

Maybe it's for MP Prime?

It was called overpriced garbage. I know the kit you're talking about.Yeah that was back in...2002 If I remember right.

If it's for a PCC figure, they'll finally get my money.

so will this let me upgrade a TF to look like Russell Crowe, or Paul Bettany? or the boat?

Yeah I bought that overpriced piece of shit when it was expensive and then it went on sale shortly after. Actually... it looks kind of cool but he can't move or transform worth a damn. Made of soft plastic it was called Power Master Optimus Prime with Apex Armor Add on Parts. The new smaller anime style head was cool as well as the longer arms, guns, wings and shoulder cannon. Still I hope crazy devy makes it so that is has articulation and can transform from robot to truck and back! Oh Yeah!

It may be too costly to upgrade God Ginrai's arms and legs. My guess is a new head for MP Prime with light up eyes. That would be fine with me. I don't care much for the build-in moving mouth cover.

The only real upgrade I would like to see now is for MP-2, Magnus needs his trailer armor to make this figure a true master piece, I know this subject has been beaten to death but I can still hope can't I?

if it is powermaster optimus, i hope its new shiny smokestacks and a fully articulated Hi-Q powermaster. i actually need these to get my PM Prime looking fully restored to his former glory

If you need a Hi-Q and an Optimus/Ginrai cab I can help you out probably. I still have my Powermaster Prime from when I was a kid, the Super Ginrai head has a busted peg and the trailer attachment has a busted peg as well, but the Ginrai/Hi-Q and the truck are in good enough condition. I have the God Ginrai reissue so I don't need the original stuff anymore. Let me know if you need them & i'll see if I can dig them up.

Wow, I'm kinda glad I was never able to get that kit now.

I've been happy with what CD has put out so far; if this new set is for PM Prime, and IF it's decent, I'll get it too.

the offer is most appreciated, i have the cab but the pipes from his smokestacks broke off years ago. made new pipes out of sculpy but they arnt quite the same. the other parts that he was missing, like Hi-Q ive been gathering from ebay as of late, but if CD is getting something convienient together. i may go for that instead

I'll post pics so people can check it out in detail. It makes the figure a "for display only" piece. You can change the position of the arms (but they are detached) and I modified the head a little so it has some movement. Hopefully Crazy dev can base some of it's work off the looks of this one.

See... nothing's really attached. The piece is not transformable. It does have a little articulation but it's cheap material and not really well thought out. Hope Crazy Devy comes up with a better one than this.

Yeah that looks like a big pile of fail. the paint & sculpting on the arms look especially bad.

Yeeeeesh! Now I'm really glad I lost that auction; aome poor sap on eBay paid like 75 dollars for that a couple years back....

I'll take that bet, say 200 energon?

do they purposefully do the logos to look like they're made of neon signage? Perhaps they doing Galvatron parts?

Hmm... I kind of hoping for upgrade parts for a more modern toy, like Masterpiece Optimus, or that PCC idea would be sweet. The PCC limbs are kind of lacking. As PM, it seems likely given that they have been doing exclusively G1 toys, but a PM upgrade for Classics Prime would rule.

Well, looks like we guessed wrong:

ONE MEEEEELION DOLLARS!

Not trolling, I expect this to be expensive.

I was wondering what the CDMW-12 was because they took the picture down off their site.

can Omega Prime hold it?

If it comes with the long handle for Car Roboty goodness, i'll buy it.

Ridiculous. Does FP know someone's rich uncle who owns a toy factory and lets them use it for cheap or something? Because I don't understand why CrazyDevy can charge almost as much for a few pieces of plastic as FP does for a full, complete figure.

Veery good question, because right now I'm about to turn beet-red from laughing at that ridiculous price.

I've heard that they lease the use of machines at a kitchenware factory in China, during production runs.

I'm assuming they know these people and receive a large discount for using them.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone IN FP actually owns the factory.

What is it with 3rd party companies and outrageous prices on God Swords? Didn't iGear make one a while back at the same price, that came apart to form a smaller sword & a shield? This one looks like one solid lump, I believe if I really want a God Sword for my God Fire Convoy, i'll buy the other one. And I plan to buy the other one as soon as somebody gives me a good(less than $130) price on another Shadow Commander armor to replace mine that my son destroyed PLEASE.
