UltraPrimal:
FansProject has updated their website:

We get to see new images of a more final version of Powered Commander. Now with the shoulder missiles and energon luggage!

There's also images of the G3 trailer, roller, and weapons. Shiny shiny weapons.
Trailbreaker77:
My wallet is already hurting this does not help things.
Robogeek28:
Ugh, it's taking forever to load,lol.

edit: OH MY GOD!!! Those are beautiful, simply beautiful!
process:
The Roller doghouse is adorable! But what's with the sprued weapons inside the trailer?

-edit-

nevermind, I see pegs for the weapons to mount. <3 chromed weapons.
Big Filipino:
Sweet. This TFCon exlcusive is so awesome.
zeroXII:
Loving the weapons with the G3 trailer. And PC actually looks not bad.
Hobbes-timus Prime:
The G3 trailer rules.
aprim:
Bow down to PC!
process:
PC looks a lot better with the matching blue and red. Is it just me, or does it look like there are two variations going on there for Classics and Henkei Primes, with deeper shades for the latter?

The missile and suitcase storage is brilliant. It's also nice to see they poked pole for the missiles to mount in alt. mode.

As much as I'd like to get a PC, I'm pretty content with CC and SC, who I both feel has superior color schemes. I'm still having a hard time shaking the exclusive- and coolness factors, though.
revlimiter:
want. trailer.
Bgrngod:
grumble grumble exclusive grumble grumble damn you Canada and your TFCons!! grumble grumble

Ok, having the weapons on the spindles, or whatever they are called, is kinda lame. My OCD will make me leave them on there, thus be unusable. Hrm.
Laser_Optimus:
Powered Convoy is nice, but I've got no reason to attempt to purchase it. Cool for those going to the convention though.

Now that trailer... that is a work of art. I'll be purchasing this right along with the other two trailers from BTS. They'll all look really nice on my displays.
Opticron Primal:
I have no where to put the trailer but I want it badly. The way Roller extends to fit the energon luggage is great. I want to know if the trailer can hold other classics/universe cars. I'm guessing yes.

And yeah, chrome weapons FTW.
Computer5:
eh, i would had preferred plain "black" weapons. I just don't want chipping chrome to appear down the road.
Orion_Prime48:
everything is awesome I realy gotta get a Classics Prime and money to buy those trailers lol
Incepticon:
First fan-made trailer ever that I'm actually interested in buying. I'm not usually a fan of Roller or the trailer drone, but I love how they completely re-imagined how to incorprate them into this design, revised their looks AND save space all at the same time. This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in regards to the same old MP trailers that keep coming out. Don't just make them bigger versions of the boring G1 mold - rethink them entirely.

These guys already won me over withe CC set, so I'll gladly throw them more money for this latest venture.
ORIO:
I love Fansprojects. The G3 trailer is amazing. I can't wait for that badboy to go up for preorder.

The PC trailer is a pass. I passed on SC too, I just can't see three dudes looking like Magnus. But that's just me. I do, however LOVE the rocket launchers. If I could buy a set of those for city commander I'd be a happy camper.
Robogeek28:
I'm getting antsy, hopefully preorders for Prime's trailer will go up soon!
Angelwave:
That trailer is an amazing piece of work. The PC look really good too, and it's an awesome exclusive for those going to TFCon.

Just down the road I really hope they do decide on doing a tanker trailer for Nemesis Prime.
kingrich78:
Are the weapons made for the different versions of Prime of are they for different transformers? The sword looks like it wouls be used for grimlock and there looks to be a shoulder style weapon that would look good on Mirage.
bithomas:
The G3 Trailer just keeps looking better and better, and the replacement Universe weapons are an even better addition -- this set can't come out fast enough for me!

I also think the Powered Commander armor updates look great, though I likely won't be getting this because I'm not attending TFCon and am already very happy with the previous two Commander sets.
Motor_Master:
The G3 trailer is the best one I've seen for the classics Prime mold.

Sadly I'll have to pass on the Powered Convoy set for now. I can't make it to TFCON and I don't have the disposable income to pay the post con markup prices.

The weapons are for Bumblebee, Mirage, Hound, Grimlock and Sideswipe (I think).

*Edit* Yay I got it right.

Yeah, those weapons are meant for Convoy's subordinates.

A question here:

What's with the "suitcase" thingy that's included with Powered Convoy?

My bad, totally clueless about those.
Hound & Mirage:
Have they shown yet what the six panels on top of the G3 trailer flip out for? (if anything...) I could see the two smaller ones in the center being used to support the weight of the sides when the trailer is splayed open. But the other four, assuming I'm not just seeing hinges that aren't really there, I can't figure out. Just extra blast walls for bots to hide behind?
clonemanager:
Suitcase of Energon... hehehe..

The ADDed accessories look so sweet... I feel like I want to pay this now but I need someone to pick up the set because I haven't had a plan to travel...

ps: Wait a minute... maybe I do....



ps: I was confused with the Power Convoy set and the weapon accessories that bundled with the G3 Trailer. The weapon doesn't go with the convention exclusive... ooops...

oh this is what I just tried to look for... Sweet !
I actually like the weapon accessories alot more than the trailer. I have the CC set already.
Just wondering if I could get these weapon at a bargain...
Lucs:
Man that OP trailer looks better and better now that I've seen pics of it opening. I'm pretty sold on the thing right now.

I really like that when it's open it doubles as a sort of playset that can be incorporated in my display. I plan to have it set up in the back of the display with a few bots on top and a few bots in front so they can all been seen with the extra height it brings.

I honestly don't think I'd even be considering buying if it didn't come with the 5 weapons, which I feel like are a fantastic idea
Solrac333:
The trailer is AWESOME! Power Commander is ok.
Zie:
I don't even have a Classics Prime and I still want that trailer. Those weapons are too awesome to pass up. Shame they won't just sell them directly, it would save me some cash, I know that much.
Xhairs:
man i cant wait to get the G3 trailer.
artiepants:
Cannot wait to order the trailer. the Weapons are for-the-absolute-WIN
(except they make me want accurate handguns for Prowl and the Z-bros, Sideswipe, Hound, Mirage and ESPECIALLY Prime ~ i can't believe to this day no one ~ HAsbro included ~ has done a reproduction of G1 Primes rifle with a standard peg handle ~ it's like the coolest rifle ever!!!)
Bgrngod:
I am really liking that style on Rollar. They've done a fantastic job of making the look and feel of the trailer match perfectly with the various CC armors.
Cesium Salami:
The Roller cubby is Awesome! I really don't care if it comes with the extra weapons, but the trailer is soooooooooo much better than the other fan made set. It has more of a G1 feel to it.

The PC armor is great too, but I'm passing. I love my City Commander and don't want him to get jealous.
Alexander Quinn:
Love the look of "Powered Commander" in alt mode...not so much lovin' the bot mode look. Still, seeing as how the classics Optimus was the one Prime in the past ten years that I skipped on I would really appreciate it if fan companies would start making cool stuff for some other mold now. Please. Please?
PyroniusRex:
Man I am going to have to sell my kindeys to buy one!
Fago:
Don't care too much about the energon suitcase, but the launchers look VERY nice. Congrats for the ones getting PC. I won't. Although those missile launchers are exactly what CC lacks. Hope they make them white/red too.

As for the G3 trailer, come on BBTS buys, I'm still waiting for you to post it. I am buying it NO MATTER THE COST! Well, that was exagerated...

Does the trailer look as if it has some more gimmicks? I mean, don't those walls (the ones that form the trailer roof) have some additional articulation at their ends?
Cast:
Oh my god they are great, only thign is I'm gettign a little pissed off now cos PC now has an update of ultra magnus's sig weapons but CC doesn't and cos f the new peg holes never can. Damn upsettign that one. I wont hold out any hope for a second CC run with all the add on included but that would be damn sweet.
CrowbotMaximus8:
I'll just leave my wallet here, shall I.
Polenicus:
Heheheh...

So glad I pre-regged for TFcon. The fact that the two trailers work together (G3 trailer can tow CC mold and derivatives, and Roller works with the suitcase of energon goodies) just makes this sweeter, as I WILL have the G3 Trailer.

I love FansProject. They're everything that is right with fanmade add-ons.
The_Black_Sheep:
I don't know what to think of that G3 Trailer?

I mean, compared to FP's City Commander, the G3 Trailer seems so bare, so minimalistic, so squarish... Yes, G1 Prime's trailer was a box with a grappling hook & launcher for Roller... but surely it's time for an upgrade? *shrugs* I think I'll be giving this G3 Trailer a pass...

Is it just me or am I not the only one who thinks The Powered Convoy Trailer/Armour needs a blue Prime cab to go with it?
Cyber-Scream:
Awesome.
shumworld:
you know... now I want that G3 Trailer. All them weapons have sold me.

Yeah, that's one of the main selling factors for me as well.
airfox:
PC is absolutely great!

Too bad it's exclusive status.

And the weapons included with the G3 trailer are making me consider getting that, even though I think Classics Prime doesn't need a trailer.

It's not just you.

Indiancowboy:

Backstop:
