Fansproject Warbot Assaulter Prototype Photos

The Fansproject community site FansProjectCore has posted the first prototype photos of Warbot Assaulter. Linework was only recently revealed, and a rendering on the Core shows that this is indeed an homage to the triple-changer G1 Broadside. The photos reveal robot mode, one of presumably two vehicle modes, and size comparisons with the Assaulter's Warbot comrades, Defender and Steel Core.

All the photos have been mirrored after the jump for those who are not members of the FansProjectCore website.

Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

First I've seen of 'em. The Airplane mode looks totally bad ass. Also, I didn't expect him to be so big. Nice catch.
QuinJester

I will assume they will save that for Christmas time when everyone is throwing around a little more money than usual.


I tell you, last year FP went silent and gave the seat of #1 to TFC. I think their silence and what they have planned is going to win them 2012 and 2013!!!!

I mirrored the pictures on the first post for those who can't click the link.

This is clearly Wreck and Rule time!
jbz
Nice! He's big and beefy and that alt mode looks good.
Cecilia
OH my! I so what this now, even if the other mode sucks hahaha just hope the colors won´t look bad. I hated the g1 colored stripes on the legs for their ilustration.
thelastson82
That shit is wicked!
Megatron31

art teaser

im so happy they made him bigger, really reminds me of his look in stormbringer



Shatterpoint
It's beautiful.
CVprowl
awesome. just awesome.
StayingInTheBox
I'm really taken aback at how cool this thing looks. After not hearing shit from FP for so long, we now know why. They were planning big things ... BIG.
Autobot Burnout
Holy CRAP I want that. That jet mode is GORGEOUS.
igniz1984
Must have it NAOW!!!! and its VOYAGER sized???
Orodruin
Looks great. Also, holyshitbig. Very excited, but I'm pretty sure this will break $100.

Fucking shit that's beautiful.

If they keep the same scheme they used with Steelcore ($70 for a voyager with a gimmick) I don't see why they can't charge less than that. At least for core members.
Brunkion76
Yeah, gonna have to get this. So happy this guy is big.
StayingInTheBox
I'd be completely okay paying $100 bones for this. Just saying.
Crystal Convoy
Now I want this.
Bountyan
I need that in my life. Absolutely gorgeous.

Considering stuff like Hegemon, PE Arcee, and one TFC bot being $100, this being $100 would be a steal.
Ejack37
That is really sexy.
Sup3hobo
Wow big and beefy and look some metal content in the legs! Duel shotguns too? Where's the pre-order?
General Tekno
WANT. NOW.

Amazing. Simply amazing.
sarnian1979
Now THAT'S got my attention! He's bloody massive! Great plane mode, can't wait to see the 3rd mode. Looks so much better in prototype form than art form.

Did I mention he's massive? Definitely a want.
ahro23
Can't wait
ahro23
Oh and I love the way they hid the legs in his jet mode. Much better/cleaner/more elegant than TFPrime FE Starscream or even HFTD Leader Starscream

They changed the wings fromt he first teaser pic. But it appears the wings go in and the large guns connect to the front to give some flying battle ship look? I will admit the third mode is weak but the plane and bot are AWESOME!!!!

Fansproject, can you stop pissing off my wife? Fn B E A UTIFUL!

It can be so weak and look like a flying spoon for all I really care - the bot and jet mode look awesome - instant buy for me

Very cool looking toy! All I need now is for FP to make a Roadbuster like in the pic....
Timesynch
Hot damn, that looks great! Alt mode's a little iffy but still looks cool. Also digging the size very much. Steelcore needs to upsized to match Assaulter and redeco'd as Roadbuster, for sure.
WhiteMocha
Love it. I'll be all over this when it comes out. Especially since this is one character that feels "safe" to buy as a 3rd-party figure; I don't see Hasbro tackling a new Broadside anytime soon.
mechfiend
Crazy awesome!
Prime Evil
Want, want, want!! Nothing else really to say.
Kaijumaster
Theft of a pre-existing IP, pass.
Optimus1116
WANT!
Yobuster
That's awesome. i've been wondering when he'll show up. My bet is a middle-late fall release.
Yes there should be a 3rd mode and additional gimmicks.
Nice to have that size comparison, i like their different sizes to give them a more "realistic" feel.
Although i wonder how the packaging is going to work. I was assuming the packaging for SteelCore is the same size as Defender, i.e. easier to ship, easier to store overall.
But clearly Assaulter is going to be much larger.

Welcome to the world of 3P....if it wasn't an IP theft it would not be TF 3P.

This. It would be amusing if this were posted as a Hasbro product to see the reaction as opposed it being announced as FP's. I mean, it's not bad...even kinda cool, but I totally bet the reaction would be SOOO much different if it were Hasbro. Like WTF kind of plane is that supposed to be? But since it's FP...DROOL! WANT! BONER! I dunno...it's just funny. If Tankor/Octane had been released by FP, it would probably be condsidered the best triple changer ever...
