Fansproject WB-002 Warbot Steel Core

Posted on 05-10-2012 at 12:32 PM by process under 3rd Party Unlicensed

After many months MIA on the 3rd party scene, Fansproject is back with a preview of their next figure, WB-002 Warbot Steel Core, aka Heartmaster. Although prototype photos had been released long ago, it seems Steel Core is close to release, as indicated recently on Fansproject's Facebook account. Members of Fansproject Core are now able to access new artwork and renderings of the Warbot himself, and his unnamed companion.

Fansproject has also indicated that members of Fansproject Core may have a chance to pre-order Steel Core early. Registration for Fansproject Core is free!

While past Fansproject figures had been inspired by official Transformers characters, Steel Core's inspiration is less transparent. Head over to the discussion thread to speculate on who this may be, whether new or homaged.

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

What was 02? Broadside or Junkion?

The Dark Seeker

If I remember correctly, there was another "warbot" type bot in the comic book that came with the original warbot they released.....maybe its that one?

Sammael

Finally. I hope it's Broadside

The "Nemesis Springer" guy in the comic, you think?

Interesting that it's already in the production phase and in a case of six. Looks like they should be in-store in no time. Strange how nobody saw this coming.

Venksta

SteelCore. Got to play with it on Saturday. Really awesome.

ducti748

If it was nemesis springer wouldn't it be label wb-01(n) or (b) or some other random letter hope its broadside or junk ion

Fuck FansProject. I'm sick of the tease. They give vague clues once every blue moon knowing good well that I will empty my wallet with every release they have. Bastards. They are like the girl that you want to break up with but wont because the sex is good.

The cool part about this being a FP release rather than Maketoys is that it's more-than likely going to have a pretty intense manga aesthetic. Can't wait.

Triple changer. Color purple. ???????

OptionZero

I don't care who it is but I'm buying it. But Blitzwing would rule everything

DJW107PRIME

I'd take a Blitzwing in a heart beat.

i would take 3 without even thinking about it

jerminator

Well damn...I was torn between getting myself either Device Label Blaster or PE Arcee for my bday next week... and now this comes along and totally throws a live grenade on that indecision.

daelite20

heres a picture . Flight mode, tank mode and robot mode

OptionZero

We haven't even seen a prototype of a Blitzwing; heck, even Collector and unnamed not-Broadside were mere silhouettes years ago.

This unseen mold is not only done, but the packaging is done it's stuffed into shipping cases? No third party has gone from virtually nothing (no prototypes, renders, art) to *poof* damn near in stock!

Isn't that Broadside? Look at the head and it appears to have red. Also Blitzwing has a visor

Its broadside i guess. Triple changer

TJ Duckett

I'm really hoping they scrapped the stupid red-faced version, and went with the masked/visored version oh him.

deathsheadII

if its broadside i have no interest at all

daelite20

your right it does look like broadside

deathsheadII

keeping my fingers crossed they scrapped that for the mo and went for blitzwing instead but thats me being very hopeful

I read what you wrote, but you said "Steel Core" which doesn't give any clue as to who it's an homage to, and that's why people have continued to guess.

Feel free to use this as an opportunity to say what character it is, though. Because, I'd like to know.

jerminator

Is Steel Core Ironhide's illegitimate offspring?

i read it but was too jealous to respond

justamaze

Hey I can read too....

and you can be a tease.

Batman

It's been so long since FP released anything. Hope it is more than just a simple repaint, these dudes need to put themselves back on the map.

ssjkazer

........ okay so they are still around i take this as we are doing something we will give you infomation some time in the futer

Blitzwing would be great.

jerminator

Well damn. I went from really excited if it were Blitzwing to still excited if it were Broadside to meh as I'm not really all that keen on the Heartmaster thing.

deathsheadII

aaaah its heartmaster , shame , pass for me then

Sammael

I don't think this is Heartmaster/Steel Core. They'd have no reason to hide the name if that were the case.

flamepanther

I didn't know the heartmaster was going to be part of the Warbot series.

Cool! Thanks Venks.

Qty: 6 pcs.

Quantity: 6 pieces?

Sound like a combiner to anyone else? Unless they're literally making six copies.

Its a case of 6 of the same toy that would get shipped to a store.

My neither. Plus, one year ago fansproject announced BOTH Warbot 2 (WB002) AND "(Audacity) Amelioration of Novel form, HeartMaster" (HM-001):

FansProject Website Update: 2011 Causality & Insecticons - Transformers News - TFW2005

...so either Venksta is teasing us or FP changed their mind.
