2005 Board member Venksta has updated his Renderform Facebook page with a teaser image of some new upcoming products. Shown in the photo is Classics Rodimus outfitted with his Fansproject Protector Armor holding what looks like a traditional Generation 1 Rodimus Prime rifle. The other figure in the picture is Reveal The Shield Jazz holding a new weapon as well. Renderform states that official photos will be coming soon of the new items. The weapons be for sale once the new Renderform site is updated and launched.
Keeping checking back here for more updates from Venksta and Renderform!

Does anyone have a Hub Scout kit for sale?
Venksta
I'll look into it. I still need to get Hyper Novae.
Also, lets move all discussion to this thread:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-fan-art/974307-venkstas-design-thread.html
And feel free to suggest/discuss as usual. I may even throw up some rough concepts of ideas now you guys pitch.
OptionZero
Would you consider some sort of orange/gold translucent melee weapon for Hyper Novae?
I don't know remember Nemesis Prime using a melee weapon in IDW-verse, but it strikes me as the kinda guy who would use a bigass sword or staff
Venksta
New thread now made for discussing designs:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-fan-art/974307-venkstas-design-thread.html
When new products are officially announced, as in preorders go up to verify its being produced, the product will get its own thread in the 3P forum either by me, or someone else.
I'll consider it. The Botcon head is dopey looking. But mainly due to the paintjob in my opinion.
Thanks dude.
AutobotSoldier
Thanks for the update Venksta, you are the man. Can't wait for the release of these kits. Awesome

YAY! I (finally) have a Pyro on the way, so I'll be looking forward to that. I know you already released a sword for him, but still hoping for a Metalhawk upgrade with a new head to replace the Alex Murphy/Robohawk head someday too.
Venksta
Regular versions of kits which I plan to sell at Botcon will be made available online, either before or after. So nothing to worry about.

2) A BotCon-timed release or a BotCon-exclusive release? I need to know whether I'll have a chance of getting one of these kits (pending seeing the designs) or whether I should just plan on being ready to sell my Spark once you make them available….
3) Potentially. I have your Empyrion Espionage, Mach Red, and Nebulous Tempest. It would be nice to complete the set.
Someone has been there, done that, but yours would be more affordable, I'm sure.
Hurrah! [ahem] Sorry to interrupt….
Again: BotCon-timed or BotCon-exclusive?
Hmm. The right one looks like your EE/MR, but the left one looks like a different enough shape to work for a Silverbolt to Space Case upgrade…. Interesting.
Venksta
Fixed.
And don't take this as an official announcement. Once you see testshot photos, then its officially happening.

Only seeing a broken image, duder.

1)I'll have to take a look again. If I did, I'd make a classics Seaspray head for that mold at the same time.
2) Yes. Planned for a Botcon release.
3) Possible. But is there enough interest?
4) Possible, depends on the interest still.
Snipenose? I'll take a look.
Ok, so sneak peak at what might be released next. Had some changes in plans recently. I'm going to try and go back to selling directly most items, but focus on runs between 25 to 200 pieces only, to keep things manageable. If the next two releases go smoothly, I'll be able to go ahead with projects like the Erector kits and Classics Dragstrip upgrade, maybe even the Cliffjumper kit. And all of these would be released either by Botcon, or at Botcon.
AutobotSoldier
Just read some of your replies Venksta. Count me in for Junkion Heads/ kits, you can never have too many of those. Also, repaint of 2.0 sky fall kit to turn classics silver bolt into space case is an excellent idea, especially if you can included some upgrade stickers. I also gotta throw my votes in for upgrade head for Botcon Spinister and Animated Roadbuster and Mudplaps. Finally one more suggestion, an upgrade kit to turn one of the generations Thunderwing molds into Snipenose. Your work is excellent and I look forward to more products.
AutobotSoldier
Any chance you can make upgrade kits for the following figures:
1) Botcon Octopunch(proper head and tentacles)
2) Botcon Pyro ( upgrade kit, proper head and shoulder cannon)
3) SpaceCase upgrade kit
4) Botcon Electro sword
Plus release another run of your Galvatron kit for TFP megatron.

Hey guys. Anybody know anybody looking to sell a purple Alliance Axe?
donxavier
Yes, yes and yes!!!! So glad to hear that you'll be working on a Darkwind and Skyfall 2.0 kits. Missed out on the original run and have been kicking myself for it.
Venksta
I don't think I can sell them through online retailers. Their hesitant to deal with accessories and kits for older figures. The two Erector kits would most likely be released online through my website as a very small run, which would be made to order. Its the main reason I really haven't gotten to it sooner. I feel the Erector buzz has faded after Botcon 2011.
Btw, things do change alot with my schedule and plans. For example, I've been sitting on the Steelcore head upgrades (inspired by Energon Ultra Magnus) since November. I had some issues with a retailer about carrying it, and ended up loosing interest and moving on to other things. I'll probably get back to it in a month or two, since the molds have been ready for production already.

From 2013…
And now, 2014….
Really? I still have an extra Grapple and a Movie Mudflap sealed in their boxes waiting for the day that you get around to making these.
Or do you mean "enough to justify selling it through web merchants"? I can see where BBTS might not be sanguine about trying to sell 50 copies of what some people consider a TF HoF joke that [redacted. There's no way to end that sentence without it turning into a double entendre].
