Cool, a news credit on my birthday. What a great way to end the day.
Now, if someone would like to give me a classics Hot Rod, that would the the icing on the cake!

Oh man, I gotta get another Rodimus? Oh well, the price one must pay for potentially awesome figures.
Ever noticed that since City Commander, these guys are tackling two of the bigger fan-customs around simultaneously? They must've made some serious dough from that.

I agree. With so many projects coming out, I'm excited to see what's next. My wallet on the other hand feels otherwise.

well hopefully they will pass the savings onto ME!!!
love the prime trailer, i'm all for G1 fanwank
this means nemesis trailers out of the picture, as he's not a recognised character with a trailer in my eyes
protectors and must and the other two are only a must if the price is rite
Happy Bday

Here's a shocker: on the BBTS site, when you click on the classics option, Henkei Prime has the top slot, followed in second by Henkei Hot Rod. They've got me RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT ME!

Me too!
Look at all the stuff in the picture of the G3 trailer. I see a sword, missile launchers, and a gun or too. Looks like I don't need the Gear of war set after all.
And that Rodimus trailer set!

If I remember correctly, the Megatron guns are the size of standard weapons for Classics toys, and the toy-accurate handle can pivot up and out of the way, revealing a post that'll fit into most hands from the Classics/Universe line.
On the FansProject site, they also have a picture of Protector in robot mode, which looks suitably awesome. Dammit, more of my money going to them...

From what I can tell, the upgrade set will feature new arms while the old ones will become his shoulder pads.

How much are these gonna cost? And when will the G3 trailer be available? While I think the overall design for the BTS trailer matches the sleekness of the Classics, that Fansproject trailer is just kick ass... And I'm not even gonna go on about Rodimus Prime... Megs and Optimus can duke it out, now Galvy and Roddy can duke it out...

I will reserve judgement on the Rodimus Prime trailer until I get a better look at it. I am interested in the idea, but don't know how that one will work out.

Reasonable and appropriate.
They should get a lot of credit from City Commander, but we should all at least wait till there are some more accurate pictures of all this stuff before we make any wallet arping decisions.

I think not.
Obviously the availability of HR will determine whether I ultimately get this. Oh, and the availability of cash too.

TFSource, however, did still have Hot Rod available so I caved and bought one, along with Henkei Prime. I figured the worst case scenario, I can sell HR later on if I'm not a fan of the final armor set. As for Prime, I know I'm getting a trailer, just not sure which yet.
OK FansProject, bring them on!

Just a random thought I had:
Does anyone know if FansProject has considered bringing any of their sets to sell at BotCon sometime? Would Hasbro even allow them to be sold under the same roof as official products?

I cant wait for Protecter set! The robot mode looks sweet!

I'll need to see some pics to make an informed decision but FansProjects certainly earned indefinite props for the City Commander set. And anything they do in the future will cetainly be on my radar.
