FansProject updates: Powered Commander and G3 Trailer

I'm loving this. I can't wait to get my greasy hands on it.

Nice although that G3 trailer looks way too big for the cab.

I would have to disagree there, it is large compared to the other custom trailer, but the height looks realistic enough to me.

This is actually my new favourite trailer, I think it outshines the other one.

It's also a shame they aren't releasing the PC armor in a mass release. Unless there's going to be a different version for that.

I certainly hope they do, even if it was somewhat different colors and an even more limited release. I'd be all over it.

As for the G3 Trailer, the only thing I'm not 100% sold on is how the weapons integrate into the trailer. The BTS version, at least from what we've seen so far, trumps the FP version IMO. Love evertyhing else I'm seeing and hoping it looks even better in color.

I completely agree.

When this was announced, I canceled my preorder for the other Prime trailer. It was too futuristic for my tastes, at least for Optimus. I'm still getting it in Nemesis colors.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I only think that the BTS version does the weapons integration better. Other than that one respect, this is clearly the top choice for OP.

I'm also going to do the other version for NP once I obtain another NP. I really like the BTS version in those colors.

I think the decision between the 2 trailers could well come down to accessories and the base mode, as presmably people won't be displaying it in vehicle mode (I know I won't).

I'm liking the sword (which I guess is for Classics Grimlock) which comes with the Fans Project one, but then I'm leaning towards the base mode on the Best Toys one. Maybe price will have to be the deciding factor!

I'll probably display mine in vehicle mode, actually, and I'm leaning towards the BTS trailer because it looks cool and futuristic. But Fansproject does have some mighty nice accessories, and I kinda think their Roller & arm drone thingy look better.

Well, it is still unpainted. I would expect it to look better and more detailed once it's got some color. But who knows, it may still need a logo in the end.

I need that Powered Commander!
