New Images of FansProject Crossfire 02 Upgrade Sets A & B

Oh lordy is that gorgeous. Sucks that it's split and thus more expensive, but considering the effort being put into this I'd say it's pretty worth it.

Does anyone know if any of those parts (I'm looking at the pillbox launchers, specifically) are being used in conjunction with Vortex or Brawl? I'd assume so given the last set, but we haven't seen any pictures supporting it to my knowledge.

Sold!!!

Looks nice...now the only problem is they make the other 3 figures look like crap. The 2 new figures are accurate G1 represantations and the other 3 (Onslaught, Brawl, and Vortex) are not G1 accurate at all except for the colors. Maybe they should just do the whole toy over from scratch. And are these prototype images or are you expected to paint them with your choice of colors ???

If they come painted, Im hoping I can score this set at Botcon 2010 in Orlando...I dont do mail order.

Those pieces look absolutely sick! I really want them but, I think I'm going to have wait awhile to order them.

heres hoping that they will make replacements for the other 3 bots. they could release one every few months then like after a year you'd have a 100% new Bruticus!
ahh it's nice to dream...

I want my children to look like that some day.

Man, these guys just don't stop bringing the pain. The sweet, sweet pain. I can't wait for a picture that shows the dual shotguns strapped to his back.

While I won't be buying these, they are sooo awesome! These guys should just remake all of them!
Imagine how lame Brawl and Onslaught look compared to the reast, yeah, they should just make they're own full combiner.

Wow, this is beautiful! I have never been so excited to blow 90 bucks.

I can't wait for April/June

Needs more guns.

SOLD

I like seeing them show what the parts are all for and what they can do. I'm already sold on this guy. This just adds to my excitement.

The whole thing is FREAKIN SWEET!!!! I really don't understand some of the complaints at all. Yeah the 2 new figs are more articulate. Once painted I think it will all sync. I know this is a waste of text but here goes. Blast Off is dead on G1, Swindle was a jeep not a hummer so, some of you are gonna complain about the other Energon figs not fitting in Vortex is still a helicopter with G1 colors, Brawl, still a tank correct colors. Onslaught, hate his head as everyone does so, that could've been fixed but, he is still an anti aircraft vehicle. Praise be to this set he looks more G1 in alt mode than ever before. As for the price, I gave $116 for the first release of City Commander, Love it. $45 for Superion set. $80 bucks for Springer. Right at $100 for everything in this set is awsome!! I LOVE everything Fansproject has done so far. If they were to make a complete combiner set, don't waste time on this one. Give me an amazing Menasor or Defensor. My Superion is out numbered with Devy and Bruticus

You mean like this?


Man, that picture does highlight how crap the original figures look in comparison to the new replacements. No offense Hasbro, you do some good stuff, but just not in this particular case.

I bought ROTF Bruticus just for the upgrade and I have to say he's a pretty ugly combiner... but FansProject's add ons make him look fan-f*cking-tastic.


On a side note, the FP kit gives Bruticus a hell of a lot of weapons, so I thought I'd see if I could arm G1 Bruticus to the teeth too. I always wondered what the slot in G1 Bruticus' groin piece was for... but now I've found an effective though somewhat dubious use for it.



Hey, if ROTF Devastator can have contructicles, G1 Bruticus can totally have a groin-gun.

Bit of a wasted opportunity that they didn't make this a combiner with the Classic Onslaught as the main body.

After that they could focus on Superion, with the Classic Silverbolt as main body.

Only just realised that the blade Bruticus has is Blastoff's tailfin. Unusual choice!

I wondered where the blade was in all the other pics! Now I know.

Man, I don't even have the Energon/ROTF Bruticus set and I want these. You can NEVER have too many Swindles, you ask me...besides, maybe the attachment parts will be compatible with Nexus Prime/Maximus/Dildobot from the OTFCC, too.

so...many...guns...

If we know fans project, I'm gonna get the first set for my Bruticus and I CANNOT WAIT to see what they are gonna do as a repaint. Nice to know that I'll have them to use as stand alone figures, cause it would be a shame to only showcase those figures in only 1 mode.

Even more sold than before...

Prototype. The individual figures will probably be fully painted as they've shown a color CG representation of Blastoff already, and it wouldn't make sense to leave them grey. The combiner parts may end up largely grey if Superion was any indication, but hopefully they do more than the details.

Nice!! I haven't seen that pic before. Ariel bots are screwed for real lol. This set looks amazing in every mode.
