TFCon Update: Fans Project Unveils Classics and Alternators Matrix accessories and Megatron guns

Posted on 06-21-2008 at 09:36 AM by Sol Fury under 3rd Party Unlicensed

Fans Project's stand at TFCon Toronto has a nice selection of their upcoming products - as well as their Cliffjumper set (no more to be made as the mold is destroyed) the awesome Ultra Magnus City Commander was on display. A version in Diaclone Powered Convoy colours was also on display, but this is not an actual product - it was just something done for fun to see how it might look. Also on display were the next planned releases - Classics and Henkei gun mode Megatron accessories (very cool) as well as a Matrix for your Classics Prime. The engineering on this piece is incredible - Fans Project designed the handles to pivot so the front of the Matrix will always be able to face forward regardless of the pose you put your Optimus in with it!
Alternators fans were not left out either, with a Matrix and gun accessory combo shown on tablet PC - although there was no hardcopy there it looked very impressive, the rifle turns into a gas tank that attaches to the rear of the truck.

Those classics accessories look sweet!

JusticeSabre

LOL @ the little Megatron gun mode!
That is dope.

Venksta

For those wondering, the Megatron guns have a gimmick too. The handles rotate forward to reveal a peg which can fit in the hands of classic figures.

knook

sweet!

Erector

That Megatron gun is pure love. As is Magnus!!!

T16skyhopp

Thundershot

This company will be getting so much of my money....

The Megatron gun is fantastic!

I love the Powered Convoy version of the Magnus set too.

The matrix gun set looks cool for the Binaltech too.

I like the idea of the Classics Matrix, but I'll have to see more of it.

It seems Fans Project is giving outfits like Justitoys a run for the money. very impressive indeed.

Venksta

Hey guys. Another feature for the Classics matrix, which was left out, is about the stand. The stand will be able to hold the matrix, and light it up. Thats why they have the batteries not included sign.

Chaos Convoy

All of it. Everything there is bought.

Spider Striker

So as long as these a widly available, these guys will be seeing much of my money.

Sucks about the Cliffjumper kit though.

SPLIT LIP

ROFL Megatron looks a-freaking-dorable. I want one plz. (even though my classics Megs is all F'd up, I just want the tiny guns

)

DJCHARTERS

love the look of these. is it my imagination or does the black and grey prototype city commander kit screem motor master

Switchblade

Ooh, I've wanted a TF weapon sized version of Classic Megatron's gun mode ever since he came out. I must have one.

Laser_Optimus

Heh... these guys continue to impress me. They are going to be getting so much of my money this year it's not even funny...

Boardwise

Love the mini Megatron guns, and the Matrix is intriguing.
City Commander is looking good as well and the Powered Convoy is sweet.

Cruellock

I need one of those Megatron's for my Starscream!

Megatronwp38

Wow, love that mini megatron! Must have one of those. Can't wait for that magnus set to come out!

Kingplay

haha too cute!

Jason Blue Boost

Mini Megatron in both colors, awesome!

grayman

I wonder what Protector will be? Warrior was Cliffjumper, City Commander is Ultra Magnus, Protector looks like a trailer for Classic Rodimus that converts him to Rodimus Prime maybe?

Crimson87

Anyone notice the third sign was Rodimus? What do they have planned as and extra or add on for him?

ORIO

Those are fantastic! Do want!

sunlink

Man those are nice! Sorta reminds me of how the Joe's in the 80's had accessory packs you could buy. Man Hasbro is really missing out on the accessory business.

Tekkaman Blade

Now they need to make a spoiler for alt hotrod.

yami4ct

Love it. I will buy them all. Are the classics gun+matrix going to be sold as an accessory kit or apart? Also, what's that about shoulder launchers on the city commander tag? It just trails off.

KING KONVOY

Ultra Magnus is so so sick!

Jedah

Damn Magnus and Powered Convoy are really looking good and the mini megs are just pure love!

Backscatter

Shame about the Diaclone Magnus. They could have sold that too. It would be sweet if the Matrix and Mini Megs gun could be sold as a set. So bought.

FansProject will consider making a limited run of the repainted City Commander, if there is enough interest. I suggest heading over to their website and sending them an email. They already listened to the fans to add holes on the shoulder for City Commander, so you can add the G1 shoulder missiles.

I'm fairly certain that the Rodimus picture is showing Titanium Rodimus Prime holding their new Matrix accessory.

man...... i really like the Powered Convoy color deco. does anyone know if it's possible for me to switch my order for Powered Convoy instead of City Commander?

edit...

Nevermind i read everyone's post on the issue. i emailed the website on the Powered Convoy. hope they release it....

You should hold on to the City Commander order. There is nothing official about the repaint. Its just painted up for fun to show at TFcon. If your interested in it, best to visit FansProject.com and send them an email about the repaint.

shadow panther

My question about the Magnus set is, does it require any permanant altering to the figure or is it all snap on armor

snap on armor.

I might have to grab one of the Megatron guns for my Shattered Glass Autobots.

Railguard

I have got to get my hands on the matrix for my classics prime!!!! I just have to!!!!

giga-galvatron

I had my hopes on that Protector set. I thought they had listen to make a trailer for classic/henkai Rodimus Prime. As for the other stuff. Yea, all of that is copped on some ill shit. Mini Henkai Megatron for my Decepticons to hold? A Matrix for my Prime? Are u insane? I love these guys.

Ravenxl7

Cool. I wouldn't mind getting ahold of one of a matrix when they're available. Also, if I had the money to shell out for it, I would definetly get the Magnus armor, and then buy a Classics Ultra Magnus to put it on. But as it is, there's no way I'm going to be able to afford the armor, and by the time I do, Ebay will pretty much be the only source of them.

shibamura_prime

Very not bad. And a Powered Convoy repaint? Sold.

WhiteMocha

Nice!!! I've wanted a little Classics gun-mode Megatron for Starscream ever since the first wave of Classics came out. It's a little bigger than I might have liked, but that's fine... it looks so cute!

Ultra Magnus and Powered Convoy (love that color scheme) look nice, but not as nice as in the last round of photos. The squared-off quality of the pieces still keeps it from looking quiiiite like an official product. And as I complained in a previous thread, I still think it's an inefficient use of mass. But I still have no regrets whatsoever ordering it, and the price was a bargain given the nature of the product.

I wish that Cliffjumper set had been more widely (and cheaply) available. Or even available as just a head, without the other pieces. But it's just too expensive for what you get. Here's to hoping another quality fan-mod will show up someday, for a lower price.

Autovolt 127

I want that Matrix and the Henkei Megatron accesory.

DWN013

When you look up 'must-have' in the dictionary, there's a picture of mini classics/henkei megatron.

Superquad7

I'm really wanting that Magnus armor, but I still don't think I can swing the $80 for it . . . and then they go and make a Powered Convoy set of armor . . . goodness, it's hard to stand this much awesome (especially with limited expendable cash

).

I DO want to get the Alt gas tank/matrix-gun set though.

As stated, these guys are really making some nice pieces. My hat's off to em

Now I just need a second job

Basketball Jones

These individuals know what the fans want, and they present it in such a way so that their products are irresistible.

Justitoys is dead. Long live Fans Project, the new king of third-party TF upgrades.

benzo

ok, I so want that little Megatron gun!! lol

ORIO

Venksta, any idea on the availability of the matrix and mini-megs'? Just Japan? Or for North America like the Magnus kit? Or Both?

I love these guys. I want more stuff for my classics! I need a sword for Grimlock!
