    I like Defender, but I hope they work on the front wheels in helicopter mode, it looks like stuck landing wheels. Also, in 'car' mode, it would be sweet if he had a cannon or something that they could mount in back to act as a rocket that in helicopter mode could be perhaps mounted under the cockpit as a gun/missile launcher. Just my 2 cents, but what do I know?

    The more I look at Springer, the more I like him. Not really sure waht I'm looing at with Bruticus though.

    Also, I'd kind of prefer FP to make add-on kits for already existing toys. I dunno, I just dont like them making complete toys.

    I don't know what fansProject is going to do. But maybe I can offer a perspective on the diecast issues. There's a relatively simple solution regarding the die cast for potential customers. Release several versions with and without the diecast right? I'm guessing that they have a prototype die cast mold already so... recent indications with the city commader kit shows they're willing to release diffrent versions of the same mold.

    I'm all for the diecast as long as it's use to enhance the product... this is a prototype. I'm optimistic that will see it in the end product.

    That's because Ruination was a repaint of G1 Bruticus.

    Defender = Want

    I already know it'll be good because Fansporject's quality is always top-notch.

    Dear gods... I'm going to have to sell a kidney with all this High Quality stuff coming out. I mean, between these guys, and the other garage kit companies, AND the great stuff on the horizon from Hasbro... DAMN.

    I'm curious about the Diecast, but it's not all over invasive. The Armored vehicle mode just seems like a new version of the Batmobile from the new franchise. This is an amazing piece of work.

    Bruticus.. oh wow. That looks like it will be extensive. I can't wait for both of these, and the new rodimus upgrade armor they were working on.

    As for the prehistoric combiner sets they were working on, I think they are still in the design stage. If I remember correctly, that's their end goal project, to release those.

    I can really only see this AS Ruination, with the Energon mold only about as tall as Universe Onslaught. A new Bruticus should be a titan, even if his original toy wasn't. :lol

    I can imagine. It maybe like trying finding classics Ultra Magnus at a decent price all over again.

    I already have mine. But I do suggest that people that doesn't have one and interested in in the new set, should start hunting one right now.

    They are still available online at Target.
