New Images of FP G3 Trailer and D.I.A. Commander sets

Posted by DevastaTTor Jun 3, 2009 at 8:46am CDT 15,548 views
Seibertron.com member Electron has posted a link on the Toy Forum featuring new images of the FansProject G3 Trailer along with some images of the Asian Powered Commander armor set. The pictures of the G3 trailer, posted on Asian fan site HK-tf.com, show the finished exterior/interior of the trailer including the painted under carriage, deck, and grappling arms. The mirrored "stealth" gimmick is also much clearer in these pictures.

The images of the Armor show the slight alterations to the TFCon version highlighted by some chromed bits, apparently to better tie it to the Henkei Convoy figure.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Those mirrors are WAY slick.

That is one pimp little trailer. Go Fansproject, keep it up!

The G3 trailer just keeps looking better and better. However, I'll never like that solution for the weapons. Those pegs and model kit spines make them seem like an afterthought. A clearly defined weapons rack(s) or clip solution on the sides would have been better IMO. Still, VERY nice-will look great on display.

Wish I would have ordered that DIA armor set too.

So if I were to splash out on this, they will expect me to buy an uninspired box on wheels and knock-offish chromed weapons for a ridiculous price.

Nah. Fansproject's other trailer is probably more worth it.

The other Prime trailer isn't made by Fansproject, it's BTS Toy. Unless you mean the City Commander trailer.

It looks like a box on wheels because it's supposed to be a direct update of the original Prime trailer. This one looks a lot better in color than as a grey prototype. The mirrors are a really cool and unique gimmick, and I like this Roller more, but I stand by my decision to purchase the BTS trailer. I still think the big box looks odd on the back of Classics/Henkei Prime.

C'mon guys seriously how can you not dig this piece compared to the other not so impressive trailer? It would have been cooler if the weopans had more detail than just chrome. But that mirror effect is cool. I think it's intended to be a type of camouflage as it disappears from sight...you know like on the G1 series? Now we know why the MF was always out of sight when Prime would transform....ooooo magic trailer!! B-)

It's cool but I like my other 'not so impressive trailer' just fine. ;)

Mostly, anyway, if the QC was better. Still, it's money I don't regret spending. I like the looks of the BTS Trailer.
