    Their both based off the famous Japanese custom.

    Broadside is a triple changer notorious for its scaling issues (not to mention being probably the worst triple changer of its batch). I'm putting my faith in Fansproject that they will solve the scale issue somehow.

    The Junkions will certainly be an interesting sight to see because we only had Wreck-Gar to represent the group and one Wreck-Gar toy couldn't ride the other. And with three figures, that's about $200-$250 based on the Warbot Defender price.

    I'm interested to see the Fem-Gar. :) 
    I want to see how they deal with the design of fembots.

    Old-Gar and Young-Gar should be more or less the same.

    i have to see what these neo-G1 combiner looks like when finished. From my understanding, its supose to made to look and feel like a toy from the 80s but with today tech. Sounds neat. I hope they add some nice goodies onto it like the Bruticus upgrade. Broadside I want now. Since Hasbro/Takara refuse to acknowledge the Autobot triple changers, this is the best shot I have of getting a updated Broadside. I loved Broadside's design even though his toy was a brick, I think his design with the creativity of FP, would be ace. They did Springer very very well so Im looking forward to this.

    TFC stuff, I like the Arcee. The figures looks better put together than Impossible toys and no sloppy paint apps and such. If its around Impossible Toys price ($50-$70) Im all over her. The constructicons, I must see. I mean I have the energon set to tide me over but if they look good, and can combine... im all over it.

    TF Club (a.k.a. TF-C) is a 3rd party company in the same vein as FansProject. Their quality isn't quite up to FansProject's level, but they're better and more innovative than I-Gear.

    They did the two Gear of War sets (weapon packs) and several versions of Battle Rollar (standalone, transforming version of Roller), as well as a replacement blade for TFTM Optimus.

    TFClub have been around a lot longer than TFCC (Transformers Collectors Club). Their a big TF fanclub in Asia, and have their own "3rd party" products out. They made the Battle Rollar, Gear of War sets, and MP Starscream's coronation set, to name a few. TFC is one of my favorite groups. I really like their creativity with their products.

    Interesting concept, but I don't much care for the actual characters of Prime and Soundwave as the heads themselves. Shameless self promotion aside, but my Hi-Q headmaster that transforms into a Prime head seems more logical. I have been toying with converting a certain "Japanese six" headmaster cat into a Ravage headmaster with a Soundwave face.

    Totally agree. I could maybe get into those HMs if the HM robots did not look like Prime and Soundwave. Just seems odd to make the robot mode nothing more than a mini version of Soundwave or Prime. Especially when you consider they are transforming into a head for either Prime or Soundwave.

    Wasn't the Headmasters concept in Japan that the smaller bot (the head) was the actual robot and it just combined with the body for a sort of
    power upgrade? Then Prime and SW could be Headmasters and both bodies look the same!
    Wait, I forgot you need actual HM bodies for these. Never mind...

    Ummm, I don't think so. They were another race of Robots from the planet Master, I believe. Now I do think they did provide a boost of sorts to the original robot (ie - Chromedome, Hardhead, etc). However, the smaller bots were never just small versions of their larger partners. The HM robot modes have never really looked like the robot modes for the larger HM body. The only similarity you might have is color. But that is more of a toy aesthetic aspect. All the heads were/are interchangeable.
