FansProject Shadow Commander Set For Pre-Order At BBTS

Blackmagnus was probably so excited about the preorder that he forgot to post it. I'm sure he's dancing somewhere because of this.

I'll make my judgement on this once my City Commander shows up. It looks really good in black though and I'm digging the "sword of fury". Oh wait, wrong character.

Whew, almost posted this twice! You’re quick!

I suppose this one will be limited the North America too, I suppose.

Dammit, I haven't even got my City Commander yet and now they do this. Damm BBTS is gonna get all my money this year. Preordered!!!

I think I'll just copy my comment from the MP Grimlock thread:

"This sounds neat and all...I just don't know if I need a shadow version of the City Commander set. Is that a sacrilege?"

Yep. That fits.

Same response for you from the other thread...corner...you...sit...in...

That shadow cmmdr set looks frackin sweet!!! Officially Pre-ordered.
Man I think Christmas is coming early for me lol.Now to keep the wife off my back,I have over $1,000 in pre-orders with BBTS right now lol.The wallet is light!

Wait... does he get a BH Sword instead of a BFG?

I just ordered City Commander this morning, and I'll be ordering the Optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus classics 2-pack later this week. I don't need this one. I probably won't even buy Powered Convoy either, since it'd cost $90 as well.

I don't care for Nemesis Prime's colors to begin with.

I do like how they link to their own Nemesis Prime listing, which is $22 more than Hasbro Toy Shop. I'd expect stock on that to start dropping any day now, though.

No he gets both. Look at the picture of the parts. The BFG is off to the side of the sword. It's part of the actual assembly of the trailer so they can't not include it. The reason he gets a sword is it's a nod to Black Convoy aka Scourge from CaRobots aka Robots In Disguise. Which I think is a really good homage. I also hope it's a redish pink like Black Convoy/Scourge's and not the black sword that's in the parts picture.

Drat...

I have a general policy against owning two figures sharing the same mold, but this might be an exception to the rule!

I like the looks of this one better than City Commander!

.

Right now there's nearly 1900 Shadow commanders up for pre-order

.

That does look very cool.
But i'm happy enough with my standard City Commander.

Again, glad I cancelled my second commander armor to repaint. CAuse this looks way better that I would have managed on my own. just need to figure out how to rehead him somehow.

too expensive!........ but i must say........


i wonder how it would look on shattered glass prime.

Ditto.

Wow. I swear that is one of the sexiest toys I have ever seen. I'm gonna have to buckle down and buy it and I know it. Oh crap...

No, I didn't forget, I just got home from work and heard the news now. And yes the dancing has commenced!

There is now a figure of my namesake and I can't explain to you how happy I am about waiting to get CC. I've got two words for you my brother...

Must. Have.


BM(or should I say Shadow Commander?.....)

Ooppss...double post

Ok, now this I like. Why? Two words: Bat. Prime.

Awesome idea...

I've preordered him, but I'm not certain I'm keeping him. The colours just don't stand out for me all that well.

I think I'll probably get this.
Not sure if I'd say it's better than the original, but those colors look great.

I was just wishing this (and the diaclone color version too) would come true, DING! My wish just came true! I quickly preordered like a zombie. Click-buy-click-buy-click-buy.....

Yes, yes.
The dark navy on the trailer looks like it might be a fairly close match to SG Prime's navy. The more I look at this, the more I'm tempted. But my Shattered Glass figures are crowded on their shelf as it is, It'll take serious work to make them fit if Prime's wearing that get up.

Or I could buy more shelves.

I'm a little put off they're releasing a new one right on the heals of City Commander, which I just bought but haven't received yet. I would probably appreciate this more in a few months.

Pass. Not preordered.

havent got cit commander yet ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

decisions!!!!!!

That's looking even cooler, can't wait to get mine!

so cool just soooo cool. nemesis prime you get an upgrade with a f**king cool sword. this i must get. cant pass up. but first i need ultra magnus with his uprade. still a must get.

I'm diggin it...will look great on my black repaint shelf.

Although, i still prefer the powered convoy colors.

YES! Passed on the Magnus armor. Glad I did cause this is just freaking sweet. Between this and my Hot Toys Mark III Iron Man I am going to be one happy broke person this fall.

I'm surprized they didn't do Powered Convoy next. Nonetheless, preordered!

BTW, what happened with that Takara Henkei Black Convoy? Was it ever released?

Ever since I saw those first pics of this, I'd been considering actually getting Nemmy because I loved his color scheme, with the hope of persuading one of my artistic friends to do a repaint of a second city commander, kinda like Asphalt22 mentioned. So, yeah, needless to say this got pre-ordered and Nemesis Prime got bought from hasbrotoystore tonight. Lordy lordy, this truly is the best release season I can remember pretty much ever. I do hope, though, that if FP continue this line through all the molds that Powered Convoy as previously seen doesn't end up being the final color scheme. Definitely wasn't in to that look

Edit: Now that I think of it, I'm sure the colors on that PC repaint are from some later G1(victory, zone, or something) version of Prime I'm not familiar with and make perfect sense if that's the case. Still not impressed with the colors, though

The sword did it for me. I just preordered this bad boy.

Now if only my City commander would get here...

That just define sexy right there. Seriously, this Magn...er I mean Shadow Commander really looks amazing. I'm so glad i pre-ordered mine. And that sword looks awesome under his hand like that. Fansproject is quickly rising my my new favorite toy company's list....

I guess I'll be the lone exception. The colors bore me. Maybe if there was a lot more red or something, but the combination of black/gunmetal/teal/green doesn't really impress me. Looks too monotone.

I'll be happy enough with the Ultra Magnus version. MAYBE order Powered Convoy later if it's reasonable, as I have to buy an Optimus Prime/Ultra Magnus Classics set anwyay.

If someone else has already responded to this and I missed it I apologize for the redundancy, but it does say in the bbts listing that the black sword is a prototype and the release have a "clear pink/red" red one. i'm guessing it'll prolly be like the one he's standing with in the second pic

i preordered as well. coming back from iraq is getting sweeter and sweeter by the day. im pumped for this guy, now that you guys are talking about shattered glass prime too im going to have to hit up ebay and see how much he is....

I have no willpower ... NONE!

I ordered mine too. And I can't wait!

Dangit.

One step closer to "TFWanter"... <sits back down in corner>

Wow, that's pretty cool - the fact that he has a sword is really neat.

I thought SDCC Nemesis Prime was overpriced and passed on him, so I won't be buying Shadow here, perhaps I wouldn't even if I had NP - The armour is a Magnus thing, an evil clone of Prime shouldn't have it.

Very cool of Fans Project to listen to the fandom and dish them up these tasty treats like this.

Wow, that looks great. Although, I must agree that Magnus-shaped armor does seem a little odd on a N. Prime figure. If this were available in stores, I'd probably get it, along with the Nememsis figure.

However, I'm very lucky to have been able to order City Commander, so I'll have to pass.

I would love to see a Powermaster trailer set made similar to this for Classics Optimus Prime, and then a Nemesis repaint of that would be required purchases for me. My wallet would just have suffer for a while.

My wish has been granted! The only thing they could improve on would be to have a newly sculpted head. Absolutely love that sword!

Now when the hell is Henkei Nemesis coming out?

JesWal wrote:Wow. I swear that is one of the sexiest toys I have ever seen.

My thoughts exactly, though I wouldn't mind a Motormaster-type set of trailer armor for Nemesis Prime at some point as well....

Meh, more interested in the new comic that's supposed to be coming with it. Guess I share the idea that only Magnus should have magnus-type armor. Still a good looking figure, but for once I find myself thinking, "Too much black.".

That is really really cool looking. Great idea.

Not really for me though, doesn't really click for me, if you know what I mean.

BBTS has over 250 SDCC Nemesis Primes in stock right now.

Dollars to dounuts they were a part of the decision to go with Dark Commander armour before Powered Convoy armour.[/Nightbeat]

I'm thinking he's going to be Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus. Now if Reprolabels would make some autobot and decepticon symbols in the shattered glass colors
