Fansproject Rumors: Protector Armor in Q1 2010 and Bruticus appendages

You know, all of the emails I've recieved in response from them used perfect english. Smells fishy to me. Still, I hope it's true!

I don't see why something like this would be a lie. Nothing is surprising about this info either.

Great news

Now all we need is a set for Constructicon Maximus, and all my energon combiners will have useful appendages!

Which Nexus Maximus toy are you referring to??? I'm sorry that name fubar is going to be something they never live down. But I would be very interested in a Bruticus set and if they did a Constructicon set that would be the bees knees.

My thoughts exactly-that's why I thought it was safe to post as a rumor for now.

As for the grammar, aren't there errors printed on the Aerial appendage box?

Are you a fan of elbows? If you are indeed a fan of elbows you will rejoice and buy the upgrade kit if/when it becomes available.

Out of all of the Energon Combiners, Bruticus reall doesn't need an upgrade kit. He has fairly decent hands if you use both copters as arms. I could care less about elbows. Even with the Superion set, I still display him with straight arms.

On the other hand, I would love an upgrade kit for Constructicon Maximus. I can't stand the cranes and am currently in the process of finding another Sledge so he can hall all of the same limbs of the same mold.

The Protector Armor is a no brainer for me. Now I guess it's time ot hunt down another Henkei Rodimus.

I'm a fan of limb joints in general, hehe. However, from what I've seen of Bruticus M and its various possible configurations, I don't really have a need for the combined form to have elbows. That may change once I get the set and see how it poses firsthand.

i mean i haven't seen the trailer turn into anything in the G1 cartoon. but then again it might turn Rodimus slighty bigger

It won't turn into anything other than armor that takes your standard deluxe Hotrod and upgrades him into Rodimus Prime. The same way CC upgrades Ultra Magnus, but doesn't actually turn into anything on it's own, unless you count the BFG of course.

You sure ain't kidding. My original plan of four Henkei Rodimus figures is totally dashed (one to display in both bot and alt mode with and without the armor). Thus far I have one Classics Rodimus and one Henkei Rodimus; it's going to be quite painful to bite the bullet and buy the second Henkei Rodimus, though I'm hoping the aftermarket on these has already topped out.
