    actually, I think a blue protector with an Ice theme sounds pretty attractive to me. Especially if it has anything special like Shadow Scyther.

    Yeah. I really don't see a need for something like that. I mean, as brr-icy stated, yeah it might look nice, but it would be an unnecessary expenditure.

    its not unnecessary though, if they can get more profit out of the same mold to fund their next project

    anyways, if they make one I am buying, that's it.

    This is how I would see it colored or at least close or better.

    If that IS what their recolor is, I will definitely buy it. That looks far too awesome to skip.

    I got to admit I'd pick one up, it makes about as much sense as shadow commander and less than scyther but it would be a nice add on and it could mean people that hate rodimus for killing prime could have a figure and the armour with out having to deal with all the hate that wells up inside them every time they looked at it.

    Thank you! I may e-mail it to FP and see what they say about it. I was also thinking that since there's going to be a Sideburn repaint, some could now think of the Rodimus version as a Sideburn powered up mode just like in RID when he gained energy from Magnus. He ended up basically having Roddys' color scheme.

    You know, as terrible an idea as this is, I sorta imagined the lore behind a Sideburn Protector armor as Ultra Magnus giving up his trailer to Side Burn on accident, as opposed to Optimus Prime. The end result looking like an Omega Prime but Sideburn-y.

    I did some more toying around with some line art and came up with this. If FansProject makes an upgrade like this I will weep tears of joy!

    That's a digibash a fan made a while back. Only official picture of the TFCC Side Burn figure we've seen, is the small one shown in the video they made.

    I am really diggin' it. I sure hope that turns out to be what they're doing.

    Fan mock-up, although it's probably extreeeeemely close to what the actual one is gonna look like.

    This is the best shot I could get from the club ad. It looks more like a CGI mock-up than an actual photo

    Timelines Side Burn will be as much G1 as Sunstorm, Drift, Road Rage, Crosscut, etc. are.

    So if FP made a protector set for Sideburn, then it is safe to say that TFCC membership for next year will jump astronomically just for this exclusive.

    It's possible that Fun Pub and Fansproject are in cahoots. It would be good business. Utilize each other to give us the best figures that we can get. If they're not, they should try contacting each other.
