Does this mean that they'll be spreading this out over 2 sets?

I want this.
I just hope it'll be awhile before it's released, so I can evenly distribute the spending.
Also holy giant sniper rifle.

THIS IS EPIC! /end caps
Seriously dude... this is amazing!
Fan projects should just be the new Hasbro ... seriously, some body over there needs to wake up, hire these people and them ONLY let THEM put out figures. Screw hasbro's design team, just give fan projects unlimited funds and let them produce all our figures.
if they made 100 figures a year, I'd buy all 100 !!!!111!111eleventyone111!!!!

Damn these look good, can't wait to see color shots.
With the naming I have a feeling we will need to order these in stages.
Crossfire 2 with the add-ons, and that sweet sniper rifle.
C2 Set A- with "Blast-off"
C2 Set B- with "Swindle"
This one won't be cheap, but damn it looks like it will be worth it.

This is the only character that I wouldnt complain about any price.
But if they are going to go this far, why not just re-do all 5 robots ? The robot modes of Onslaught, Brawl and Vortex do not match the G1 theme as the Swindle and Blast Off companions do. I would welcome a complete set from these guys.

We still haven't seen final images of Springer and the Rodimus Prime upgrade yet, they could be better as well. The fact this set has two cusom made figures tells me this will be expensive though. What I really hope they do is fists for Nexus Maximus (Prime).
Wouldn't it be cool if this could hold WST Shockwave, if it ever gets released.

I agree that Fansproject should be the new Hasbro design team...
Here's hoping for a complete Fansproject Bruticus set!!!

City Commander, Rodimus upgrade set, Springer and now this...I will end up spending more money on FP's figures than on Hasbro/Tomy's....

Hasbro said the magic barrier for third party figures/add-ons is $100 dollars. By breaking this set up (if that's what's happening here), FP is steering clear of the eye of Hasbro/Takara. They're certainly already on the radar, but at least they're still trying to play by the established rules.
And yes, this set appears to be worth every penny they're going to charge. It kicks complete and total ass.
This is the opus of FansProject.
Now if they'd give us word of when/if the Protector armor is going to see the light of day, I'll go ahead and just hand them my checkbook.

Fans Project, you had me at Cliffjumper. Seriously.
You have made me, and by the looks of it, most of the fandom very very happy. When you first did the CJ head kit, I thought, "hey, that's pretty cool. gonna try and get that. neat." Then you did Ultra Magnus. "OMG, is that an actual trailer that works completely with Nekid Ultra Magnus?" Added some repaints for for us Black TF collectors with Nemesis Commander, showed the fans some Diaclone homage with Powered Commander. Win for us and lets you bank roll some of that for future projects. Yes people, can you see where all those repainted funds are going to? Then we get leaked pics of Protector. Lot of us are still, "believe it when we see it." Then we get hints of Defendor. "Are they making a complete figure? Hmmm, very interesting if done right." Then what most of us wanted, we got actual limbs for Superions. "Yeeeaaaaah for non energon hands and he has FEET people. LOOK, FEET!!" There's no way they can top that awesome add-on kit. NO WAY! And now look what you have done. You made us believe that someone still caters to us, the fans. I hate to say the hardcore fans, but really, that is what it seems to be. This isn't for the new kiddies that won't understand the awesomeness of G1 Bruticus. This is for those of us that pined for, an accurate representation of a gestalt with 5 completely different alt modes/bot modes, complete with, again, hands and feet.
I bow to you fans project. I want to thank you fans project. For me, it's not even about the cost, because for most of your products, everything has been IMO, affordable and more importantly to me, worth every penny I spent on your products. Thanks for bringing my collection one step closer to perfection.

Unfortunately if I tell the wife I'm adding this to the April/May bill I might not wake up the next morning. FP is seriously bringing something awesome to the table and I can't help but jump.
I love my CC upgrade and the Superion upgrade made me excited as I locked those damned Energon hands and feet up like a career criminal. I told her this would happen but with Defender coming out at the same time I might be SOL.
And really what happened to protector? I want that as much as I want the Bruticus kit seriously for some reason I am obsessed with trailers on tformers.

just yesterday I bought barricade, brawl and a vortex. I had intended to kitbash barricade and use brawl and vortex for their combiner pegs. Apparently now I may need to keep those two and get a replacement barricade.
But then again, if full bruticus sets are only 60$, maybe i'll just go that route and use the new leftover parts for kitbash fodder.

See, I hate to cause a flame war, but where do you get off saying the rest of the set doesnt match a G1 Theme? Vortex is still a chopper, Brawl a Tank, and Onslaught some sort of ballistics truck thing (which it looks like they've updated as well judging by the turrets). What they're doing here isn't necessarily just making it more G1, but updating it in such a way that it will inspire nostalgia and help it fit better into the Classics line, while still maintaining the original Energon design aesthetics.
I think this is one of the most awesome things I've ever come across on this site, I don't deny that, and I WISH I could afford it. But the "Geewun" rallying cry continues to flabbergast me. It's getting old. I'm sure your comment was harmless and thus I am in no way making a personal attack, but its also the kind of statement that makes me roll me eyes and ask myself
"Can the fans NEVER be entirely appeased?"
This is being released. It's going to be awesome. Enjoy it for what it is, FansProject doesn't even HAVE to be doing this, they owe nobody a damn thing.

Energon Barricade
ROTF Vortex
ROTF Brawl
Fans Proj Blastoff
Fans Proj Swindle
Guess I'll just have to see which is more pleasing when this set comes out. Try em on like clothes.

PowerEncarnate wrote:I like what I see with this set. I'm wondering if they will be doing add on kits for whirl and brawl to get then more gen 1 accurate and if the onslaught upgrade will have a replacement head with it. the barricade/onslaught head looks hideous, like a robot princess Leia.
Good point! Make your suggestions now people! The project has yet to be completed. Heck at this rate I'm going to suggest this Fansproject. Make me a replacement head for Hardhead that transforms into Duros!
