FansProject:
Hello, All TF fans! The UM trailer Armor is called: “City Commander”, it’s a fully transformable, completely colored and assembled. Same as the CJ upgrade kit which is designed and fan-made by us. These Fan-made projects are the first two projects we worked on. The CJ upgrade kit was a limited run with very low quantities produced, which were just enough to offer to some fan-clubs only. Unfortunely, City Commander will be limited quantities with a locked SRP, and mainly offered to North American Fans this time. Please contact your favourite online retailer for more details about the City Commander. Thanks and please enjoy these preview pictures!
ekocher:
let me know when bbts.com has it for preorder
Valkysas:
that is beautiful. I really hope I can get one, and I hope you guys consider making more, as demand for this is gonna be huge.
can you say what the SRP is going to be?
Agent-GHQ:
This looks bad-ass! Would have been more nice if UM came with his armor from the get-go. Perhaps this will alert Takara-Tomy to get their heads out of their asses from doing a half-ass job!
General Tekno:
AWESOME.
I'm setting my sights on a Magnus/Skywarp pack at the toy fair Sunday for sure.
autobotx23:
I don't do a lot of online ordering, but this one is a must have!! It's not Ultra Magnus without ridiculously powerful attachable armor that turns into a trailer!!
slugslinger2004:
Looks better than ever. I know this is gonna be expensive and I wish I could afford it

MasterOfPuppets:

I'll do without some of the new stuff this summer, this one is a must have. Magnus hasn''t had a suitable trailer since,, well since G1!!.
DoubleClouder:
Oh yah, I will get this no matter the cost!
yami4ct:
I LOVE it. Let me say, that head sculpt is absolutely beautiful. The trailer, from what we've seen, is a little bland, but who is going to use it as a trailer anyway? I will be preordering this one.
Ruination04:
It's ok...don't really care for the look of the trailer.
Shinobitron:
And this is the reason I'm in debt! lol
I need this.
Nemesis Predaking:
Do we have any clue on what this bad boy will cost yet ???
alpharon:
Those shots are awesome! I can't wait to see the final product. I WILL BE GETTING THIS UPGRADE KIT! It looks like the guns attach behind the shoulders in the first prototype shot.
Razerwire: ARGH. What I would give for this and the Cliffjumper upgrade.
Motor_Master:
As good as it looks, why do I have a feeling that this will be retardedly expensive?
chaosbringer_00:
Wow...this looks awesome. I'd really like to get this. I don't usually bother trying to get exclusive stuff like this, but man, this is just awesome. I just hope it's not too expensive, and that I'll be able to get one.
Chaos Convoy:
I will try my damnedest to get this kit. If I don't...well, I'll just be forced to make my own then, I guess.
Chaos Incarnate:
See, Hasbro could have made something like that. NOthing against Skywarp, but the 2-pack would have been 500% better with a decent armor like that in the box.
ambushbug74:
How long till this goes up for a preorder? I may try to get this one.
Tech Spec:
This will be mine
MegaHavok:
So they want us to go email online stores and bug them for this item creating a demand and hype so they can justify whatever price they can come up with. These items only work when they are reasonably priced. Everybody should follow the example of the wst dinobots
JusticeSabre:
DAMN! I passed up buying that twinpack, too.
FAIL.
Ecmagee1984:
I want to get one, i bet its going to cost a arm and a leg for one.

This is soooo worth getting....

I am in the same boat as you....

nkelsch:
Being a limited run, handcast resin kit, I suspect it will be pricey.
If it is less than 300$ I would be surprised. If I had to throw a dart my bet is 350ish$

Rubber hand-casting mold = Anyone can do
Metal plastic injection mold = Extremely expensive advanced equipment
Casting resin bits isn't as easy as people think... So when it is done well like the CJ upgradekit, it is a good thing. That Proto looks clean and bubble free!!! Looks like nice mold quality and pouring unlike many of the other casted custom kits we have seen.
BigRC83:
Nice but expensive I bet.
kenm2474:
Whatever the price I will attain one. My Classics deserve the best and this is the best UM Armor I have seen in a while that looks like G1 modernized.
squirrelcar:
I'd get this in a heartbeat, but y'all need to make it easily available. I can't be troubled with weird emails and eBay auctions. Gimme a pre-order page and a set cost, and we can talk. Get in business with a reputable online retailer and I'm definitely sold.
jourdo:
I need this! Please be reasonable in price.
FREEFALL:
I can't FREAKIN wait!!!!!!!!
I hear between $55-$75. Based off other threads about this item... probably wrong though
Ktulu:
Geez that's so sweet, hope it isn't impossibly priced also
I'd love to see these guys make a custom Blaster head to go on the upcoming Universe Soundwave to Blaster repaint.
KING KONVOY:
I'm purchasing two. One to display with my classics collection. The other to display with my Ultra Magnus collection. I currently have three classics magni just for this reason! It'll probably be under 100. The $350 someone mentioned is outlandish. Armor for MP-02 would cost way less than $350.
Orion P:
I'm definitely picking up one of these suckers!
zeroXII:
N.A only?
Life's a bitch.

North American online retailers. If the ones that carry this, ship outside of North America, then everyone will be in luck.
Quickswitch:

AWESOME! That's frickin' schweet! I'd totally slap some cash down on this number. I just hope, like others have said, that it's not too expensive. $100 is outta my price range, but $50 for something this unique isn't too bad to have to pay.
I really wanted to get that Cliffjumper kit, or at the very least just the head (I really dis-like that Classics BB & Cliffjumper are the same head..), but that set went like hot-cakes. I can only imagine how much fast this one will get gobbled up.

on_a_warpath:
Looks like it's gonna go on a bit like RID primes super mode

Hasbro "could have" done a lot of things! But they're idiots!
lookinglasself:
I like it. I will definitely pick up a set as long as it's not TOO expensive. Remember, UM is a ~$20 figure.

Last good one I saw was around 500. It was so worth it though.
This is incredible too but not worth that much because of the scale/meterial amount involved. Hard to say though, I'm no custom retailer.
Bumble Prime:
the cliffjumper kit's prices were ridiculous and im gonna blame the secondary resellers market for that one......... the original run wasnt that expensive, and we all know that ebay prices dont necessarily reflectthe price an informed fan can get things at
But this kit looks amazing and im sure r&d was painstaking........But ill pay up to around 100 bucks provided i can play with it and not break it
But if the creators are listening, I won't pay over 15 dollars! lol
