So, I signed up on the Fans Project Core site but still haven't received a confirmation email. Should I try again?

I'm really psyched about these companies striking out with their own fiction. I'll be supporting FP and Don Figueroa's Armarauders as much as my wallet will allow.  I guess Don's stuff would be truly 1st party.

 

"just dawned on me..." ?
You been spouting this exact theory for a year.

 

If you knew anything about Brave, you wouldn't say that.

 

I've been here passively for the last month. I can't be expected to keep track of all the TF conspiracies.

 

Oh I agree about the direction FP is going with the fiction. Although I think in the short term it is going to be more a cover for Transformers stuff. The original characters will come out slowly with them only continuing that direction if the fan base for their universe expands.

I'm just focused on the toy side of the equation. It didn't occur to me that fan input might be confined to the story side. It's still a great idea if that's true.

 

edited that for you.

 

When they ALL turn out to be true...are they realy just mine? lol


Back on topic. I think it will play out like Roger stated. FP will slowly intergrate original charatcers amongst their versions of the characters we all know and love. If and when the concept of FP original figures takes off, we will see them replace TF almost completely.

Just give me what is already rumoured to come out and that will fill my FP needs for this year  

 

Actually, I think your idea applies to Steelcore, too. But instead of the figure looking like a G1 Ultra Magnus, his design and color scheme make him resemble the Energon Ultra Magnus. (Or whichever it was).

They say the figure isn't supposed to be a known transformer, but the design and color scheme make it look like one. It just isn't a G1 guy.

Some are saying they're not interested in 3rd party figures that don't homage a Transformer character, but it seems like what people are really saying is they're not interested in 3rd party figures that don't fit in with the Classics line.

 

THIS^^^^...im all for FP making their own characters/ making add-ons or updates, as long as they keep making them BADASS!!...im always down..
