FansProject has once again posted pictures showing us aspects of their G3 Trailer for Classics\Henkei Optimus Prime. This time the pictures depict the weapons that are most likely going to be part of the set.

There are certain things of note here, a shoulder missile-style weapon that appears to fit on Sunstreaker/Sideswide as well as what looks like a missile for Classics Mirage.

FP&C'd, thanks for the heads up.

Very interesting to see the missiles being added into the set.

Finally, a proper sword for Classics Grimlock, no more of that stupid bayonet thing.

I think the decision to choose between this set or the BTS trailer set has just gotten tougher.

It's definitely for hound, but in his alt mode only. The space between the tab and the barrel are too far apart to clip onto his shoulder. Maybe it also doubles as a handheld gun.

Wow, clearly I posted my note on this right as they were updating these images. With the whole set as part of the G3 package, this is becoming the must buy trailer for COP. I knew when BTS posted that Nemisis Prime trailer image that FP would quickly respond.

I can't wait to see more-hopefully soon.

Well, this set just became a definite must-buy. All kinds of sweet.

I'm still on the fence RE which set to buy. Leaning towards Fansproject's simply because City Commander was such an awesome product. This weapon pack helps too, although I already have weapons for Bumblebee from the CJ upgrade set, and weapons for Mirage and Sideswipe from the kit with Inferno's ladder and the Autoscout.

Between this and iGear's autoscout, the need/desire for the TFClub Gear of War set has pretty much vanished...They're getting outdone all across the board...All that's left is the ladder, and it's in no way worth the price alone...And now that I HAVE Inferno, I really don't even feel like he NEEDS a ladder anymore...

Sorry TFClub...I really mean that...

You know, I have to wonder which 3D solid modeling program they're using here. Reminds me of SolidWorks, but might be Inventor or Catia. Anyone else know?

It's to represent that in jeep mode he actually had an army style machine gun in back, not the missile launcher. Looks like it's also got a hand peg so it can be used as his handgun instead of the missile.

Like I said, the gun is for his alt mode.

Been a while since I've posted here, whoooo.

Anyway, I can't believe I hadn't heard of these upgrades, I need to get me that Ultra Magnus one along with this.

Posted by Editor on February 25th, 2009 @ 11:34am CST
If you can still pick up a City Commander set, get it now. Simply it is an awesome piece of work.

But this trailer is going to be epic.
- A proper size for Classic Prime. (As excellent as the CC Armor is, is does look a bit short in trailor mode.)
- Classic transformation with repair drone & Roller
- Additional weapons and a hitch for the CC armor

The only way it could be better is if it contained a retro G1 rifle for Prime and contained the Matrix they are working on as well.

The BTS trailer, and the work from TFClub is great, but FansProject is schooling them over with this.

I sincerely wish you luck with City Commander...It gets harder and harder to aquire by the day...But it's SO worth the trouble :)

This is sweetness on sugar. I'm looking forward to more pictures.

Yeah, agree with all you points.

And I think we're all going to see soon that there's going to be an additional Prime armor set released that'll look great hitched on the back to complete this trailer set. (This is my third post that I've made that prediction so I hope I'm right.)

Overall, it's going to be a really kick ass set that's getting its own display shelf on the wall at my house. I'm already guessing it's going to be worthy.
