    $30 for a gun is a bit steep. I'd probably be more inclined to get this if my Alt Prime was out of the box and had the leg mod.

    It's cool but I'm not droppin 30 bucks just for a gun. I understand why it's that much, but at the end of the day it's still just a gun for a figure I never even transform anyway - he just sits in his bubble in truck mode. Then I've got a 30 dollar gas tank for him. Fun times? Not really.

    I agree with the sentiment of it's neat, but to expensive. I'd have payed 15-20 max for it. There are some accessories I can justify exorbitant prices for, city commander, because they should have been there to begin with. This on the other hand is just a neat little add-on I won't feel too bad missing out on.

    I'm torn on this.

    My Nemesis Prime would REALLY like to have that gun, but... $30 IS kinda steep.

    I guess I'll wait until my next payday and see if it's still available for preorder or not. Then decide how I feel. But, to be fair, there ARE alternatives if yuo just want a better gun. For instance, the M.G.S. arming kits for Armored Core. There are a few weapons there that look VERY nice in Alternator Nemesis Prime's hands, and they tend to be somewhat cheaper than dirt these days.

    I'll post some pics after work of my Nemesis Prime kitted out so you can decide for yourselves.

    It's very slick and well deisgined but I hate Alt Prime, he's a rubbish toy. Maybe this would make him more appealing in bot mode but it's not something I'm rushing for.

    also, it's expensive compared to the magnus armour as well, maybe they underestimated what they needed to charge for that.

    I am still looking forward to some of the other stuff they have planned and I eagerly await the shipment of my Magnus armour. :D

    As nice of a job as they did on this design (it really is a great accessory) it doesn't change the fact that Alt Prime is a freaking POS that shames the entire Alternators toy line.

    Not sure if these pictures have been posted already, did a search etc...

    Relayed from OzFormers.

    New pictures of the FansProject ABT OP Upgrade Kit showing features and transformation sequences.

    There're clips on the side of the gun, which allows for the combination of 2 guns into a double-barrel one.
