    Love the ramp for Hound or another Autobot. Love the extra chrome weapons. Love the Roller with Prime's blaster. A must have.

    Not unique enough, watch out for the internet explosion and the combusting trees. TF Con attendees will not be happy.

    Anyone else notice the empty square in the middle of the blue stripe on the side? I'll give you one guess what's on the sticker that goes there.

    Something's wrong with that website. It's a Hong Kong site, and for some reason it loads up for me right away. Usually it takes forever...


    :D

    if hasbro has their way things like this are at an end....my simple comment to hasbro....shut the F*#k up... these fan projects from regular people without a multi billion dollar factory like hasbro are producing better product than hasbro...so either step up your game or shut the F*#k up... and again it doesnt hurt their ip if a 3rd party product actually helps them sell more units.... and i dont think hasbro could be creative enough to come up with stuff like this.... so unless they can prove they had items like this in the works, they need to again SHUT THE F*#K UP!!!!

    I just think FansProject needs to stick to upgrade kits that require a Hasbro toy to use. Hasbro liked them when they were limited to that... I personally hope they cancel the Springer and co. figures. Why? Because Hasbro is more likely to wait until they've MADE the figures (spent all that money on molds) before hammering them with a cease and desist.

    I'm pretty certain that's just a TFCon Powered Commander with chromed knees. As they stated before, the Henkei PC will be color matched to Henkei Convoy... this one is too light of a red.

    I guess Hasbro is concerned because the trailer's Transformation is still similar to the original G1 Prime's trailer design, which Hasbro spent R&D and copyright money on.

    Although the true solution would be for Hasbro to make this and mass market it to us for like $20, they aint gonna do it. And they still have a legitimate claim on FP for infringement, as refered to at BotCon.

    Perhaps the next FP controversy will be when Hasbro clamp down legally on FP, and people lose their pre-order money.

    Actually if the Hasbro designer panel is to be believed they like a lot of the stuff that garage companies are doing because it get a lot of cool things to the fans that hasbro can't do simply because there isn't enough of a demand for them or they would have a much harder time justifying it considering hasbro's target audience (children). They only decided to think about taking action once some of the companies started to infringe on their property like creating and selling a fan version of Springer a registered Transformer and to be honest that is in their right.

    Pretty snazzy. Though, I still prefer the Best Toys trailer. That and Venksta did the packaging art for it.

    The man speaks the truth.

    I'm glad I have mine on preorder.
    This looks great.

    And, yeah -FansProject please cancel Springer and stay "under the radar".
    If it needs a Hasbro toy, Hasbro seems fine with your work.

    This is practically sigworthy.

    Trailers are a worthless horrible money-pit for hasbro. Kids don't pay 50$ for a 20$ prime because it comes with a trailer which they have no attachment to.

    Now making the equivalent of 'classics Springer' that directly competes with Hasbro on possible product,s Character design, and intellectual property... Now Hasbro has to act unilaterally against all kits to prevent the 'slippery slope'. Which is when the hammer comes crashing down.

    And maybe my eyes are damaged, but that looks pretty close to 100% exactly like the TF con colors of the plastic and paint apps except for chrome, which tends to lend itself back to FP lied about thier timeline of event and Spun the 'it will be different'. I will wait for the comparison shots and TFCON's approval fo such release as FP said they were seeking.
