Heero of HK-TF has posted a preview of Protector with Sidearm from FansProject! With the Protector armor, Rodimus ends up being a little bigger than Classics Optimus Prime! If that wasn’t impressive enough, the figure can even stand on 1 leg! Read on for the latest update!

Great news, but bad timing for me personally. With Christmas right around the corner money is tight.

Wow, great news maybe it could be a birthday gift for me after all.

Thanks for the heads up. This took my by surprise as well. Wonder if that means shadow scyther will ship the same time?

can't wait for my protector, scyther, and extras kit to get here. espically after finally getting henkei rodimus. i also hope for a blue set to go with my sideburn.

Maybe it's just the angle of the shots, or maybe it's just me but…
It sorta looks like he has a bit of rust on his face, or maybe some kind of robot beard?

Just dug out pictures from Seibertron. I see now. I'll stick with the original "Chosen One" Protector. Its already 100 with Sidearm, man. Expensive toys, and I thought I was splurging…
Poontang Bot
Oh. Blew Rodimus from car robots. Epic? Really?
BreakY
I think he means the TCC exclusive side burn. Its a blue re-deco of the rodimus mold. He's hoping that fansproject releases a blue armor set for that.
Poontang Bot
Maybe a decal sheet like the one with City Commander
blue death
The TFCC Sideburn repaint of the Rodimus mold man. that thing is as epic of a Rodimus repaint as i can imagine, so repainting Protector to go with him just needs to happen. I mean after doing Shadow Scyther for something as limited as Botcon Shattered Rodimus it seems logical to do a Sideburn armor as well. Or at least i really really hope they do one
Poontang Bot
What character would that be?
dark69
yes the new one will have gray and not black like the classics one
BreakY
I am looking forward to getting mine when it releases, but can anyone comment on the Challenge version of Rodimus? Are the black parts in the Henkei and Classics version actually gray? All the pics I'm seeing of the more recent Rodimus seems gray.
Might need to pay a little more to get the Classics version if that is indeed the case.

this set looks so cool hope they do it in blue

You will be – this upgrade is superior to the City Commander upgrade because unlike CC, the trailer actually looks closer to what G1 Rodimus Prime's trailer than CC to Ultra Magnus's car carrier trailer – when I first saw the City Commander Upgrade for Classic Ultra Magnus and it doesn't have the car carrier gimmick, a lot of people were going WTF and gave it a pass.
The looks to this thing makes Rodimus look tough; the CC upgrade was a disappointment because it didn't make Classic UM as bulked up as Ultra Magnus should be. Rodimus looks like Rodimus – a powerful mech that reflects G1 Rodimus's position as one of the most powerful Primes ever.
Most importantly, Rodimus's new trailer looks totally bad ass, whereas the CC upgrade's BFG seems more like "we got parts left over so let's make it a gun" deal.
