This version became a big hit and many fans requested it to be made as a real set. Guess what FansÜroject just announced that at this years TFCon they will be selling the armour in that colour scheme as a TFCon exclusive!

Very cool. Now all we need is a release of Classics Prime in blue. Come on Hasbro, you love repaints. Just put Thunderclash on the box and you're away.

Looks like. The face sort of looks thinner but I'm pretty sure that it's just the glare effect of being surrounded by bright red.

But you can't deny that thing is damn ugly... :o


I'm with you there. Awesome mold, great homage, but the original Powerd Convoy has terrible colours.

Makes a cool exclusive though.

I really like the look of this, but: all common sense and past experience to the contrary, I still trust the official product a thousand times more than anything fan made.

An exclusive of a limited figure-hmmm. Guess I can scrap plans on trying to buy all three now. Since I live in GA, no way I can attend. And I'm simply not going to pay 2-3 times the price of the other sets just to get it from an online vendor.

FP let me down on this one.

At least I was right though, they were definitely producing the PC set, it just happened to be in very limited numbers.

Geez, this is gonna cost a hand and a foot. I still want it though. It's a great mold.

Do you have any of these sets? They're made just as well as most Hasbro products are now and, at least in my experience, the paint apps are better. But if you've had bad luck in the past, I can see why you'd hesitate.

YES!

I knew this would be coming, and I knew it would be called "Powered Commander".

But, what's the use. There's no way I could get. Oh well.

The set really does look good in those colors, and I like the Diaclone era reference. If I wasn't trying to save my exclusives money for stuff I don't already have versions of, I'd so go for one myself.

Too bad there's not a -blue- version of the Prime mold to go with it and make it really accurate, but still awesome.

Has anyone contacted FansProject asking if this will be the only time they make a Commander set for Optimus?

Guess it's up to me!

I can almost guarantee that FP will also give us a taste of the Rodimus trailer armor as well. Last year we saw the original three armors plus the Classics Matrix and Megatron weapons for deluxe figures.

I'll help out if I get my pre-reg form in before they run out. I too am hoping to see Rodimus there too.

I will take up the CP request too, if anybody can get this set for me. Unfortunately I can't help with Botcon stuff, as I can't make it this year, but I'm sure we could work something out.
