FansProject updates: Powered Commander and G3 Trailer

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

Loving the 12-wheeled Roller!

Second that motion. This is looking damn good.

Is that case coming with the trailer, the PC armor or both, cause that thing is nifty.

Best case if it is set only for the PC armor, (if anyone at fansproject is reading this) put out a special pack with the case, CC/NC armor missiles, and an extra set of the trailer weapons.

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

Oh wow, their Roller looks really awesome!

And the missiles for Powered Convoy! I wish they had them for City Commander. Maybe they'll make a small add-on?

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.

I agree with Sid Burn,




It sits at about the same size as the G1 version, and I like it way more then the BTS version.

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 would say the BTS trailer, with its integrated weapons, works better in the Nemesis colors for Nemesis Prime... This (FP) trailer just screams "G1 Prime homage," while the other is a nifty update for a more futuristic Nemesis Prime trailer. IMO, of course.

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.

This trailer looks great for Classics, but so does the other one. I'm gonna have to see what the gimmicks are.

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.

Excluserific on the Powered Commander!

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 know people arnt all down with a total G1 look with some of these classic things, but I really hope that reprolabels gets going on a sticker upgrade for this soon after it's release. I need me a big Autobot symbol for the side of it.

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.

I'm not too big on the chrome weaps, but I'm def getting the FansProject trailer for my OP, that launching roller seriously trumps the one that becomes the trailer's wheels. That was always my fav gimmick on my G2 Prime (apart from the voicebox) I might get the BTS ver if I decide I want an NP bad enough, though.

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.

Really?

Look at the cab,you would have to extend you arm up to open the door, climb up to get into it. That makes the cab pretty tall, that trailer would be SO tall if it were to scale that I doubt it would be allowed on the roads for fear it took out any bridges!

To me it looks like it should be about a quarter lower to look right.

I need that Powered Commander!
