Polenicus:
Nice to see it finally in color, and see how the Powered Commander towing gimmick works.
Also our first look at Henkei Powered Commander, I believe. And at seeing the turret drone fully deployed.
*Sigh* In before the flood of controversy, I suppose.
OptionZero:
SEXY
i want a black version for shadow convoy/wondefest prime
and where's the superion upgrade!?!
influence82:
You are right, there is chrome on the D.I.A. Clone Commander. The G3 Trailer looks very impressive, whereas the D.I.A. Clone Commander is not that nice compared to Powered Commander. It is still a prototype, so the actual colors may vary as noted in the pictures.
BigRC83:
Looks great! But it is a tad too big.
Powersa:
That's a large trailer. Like the looks.
ORIO:
The colors look great. Stealth mode is great. Weapons are great. Everything=great. Will buy.
Deceptichage:
That's one nice trailer! Looks like I will be grabbing this one as well.
FuRiOus_StyLZe:
pretty sick....can't wait for this one.
Orion_Prime48:
never thought id say this for an add-on but thats sexy
poorboy8u:
Granted I want this trailer. I wish there would just be the shoulder weapon add on. Don't need much else.
Bgrngod:
Super nice. Definitely liking the paint job on this one. The cloaked mode is just ridiculously awesome. And, that's probably my favorite take on Roller so far.
And... hellllloooo.... (Come on BBTS.. don't fail me on this one)
bellpeppers:
That is really, really nice.
Hey, HASBRO... oh, never mind.
iron maniac:
Very impressive.
FansProject is going to sell a lot of these bad-boys.
BraveMax:
I do wish the weapons weren't chrome... Doesn't go well with my Classics/Universe figs.
Otherwise, pretty much made of win.
darksage78:
Absolutely phenomenal, will put an order in as soon as I get the money =)
Twin Twist:
Anywhere in the UK have a pre-order for this?
Quantum:
Bought. No question. Love the stealth mode.
process:
I squealed a little bit.

Love the ramp for Hound or another Autobot. Love the extra chrome weapons. Love the Roller with Prime's blaster. A must have.
Seansy:
click on

tootsmendozer:
i cant wait to get this i already have mine pre ordered bwahahah all i need is that powered commander armour and the god sword then my prime will be one bad mother heh
shumworld:
the more i see the G3 trailer, the more I want it. but i still can't bring myself to own it, nor do i have the space to display it.
mikeyfuzz:
Not unique enough, watch out for the internet explosion and the combusting trees. TF Con attendees will not be happy.
bradforj:
Anyone else notice the empty square in the middle of the blue stripe on the side? I'll give you one guess what's on the sticker that goes there.
Thundershot:
Something's wrong with that website. It's a Hong Kong site, and for some reason it loads up for me right away. Usually it takes forever...

Kranix:
if hasbro has their way things like this are at an end....my simple comment to hasbro....shut the F*#k up... these fan projects from regular people without a multi billion dollar factory like hasbro are producing better product than hasbro...so either step up your game or shut the F*#k up... and again it doesnt hurt their ip if a 3rd party product actually helps them sell more units.... and i dont think hasbro could be creative enough to come up with stuff like this.... so unless they can prove they had items like this in the works, they need to again SHUT THE F*#K UP!!!!
Thundershot:
I just think FansProject needs to stick to upgrade kits that require a Hasbro toy to use. Hasbro liked them when they were limited to that... I personally hope they cancel the Springer and co. figures. Why? Because Hasbro is more likely to wait until they've MADE the figures (spent all that money on molds) before hammering them with a cease and desist.
Thundershot:
I wonder if they'll make a silver Roller variant...

I'm pretty certain that's just a TFCon Powered Commander with chromed knees. As they stated before, the Henkei PC will be color matched to Henkei Convoy... this one is too light of a red.
JLvatron:
I guess Hasbro is concerned because the trailer's Transformation is still similar to the original G1 Prime's trailer design, which Hasbro spent R&D and copyright money on.
Although the true solution would be for Hasbro to make this and mass market it to us for like $20, they aint gonna do it. And they still have a legitimate claim on FP for infringement, as refered to at BotCon.
Perhaps the next FP controversy will be when Hasbro clamp down legally on FP, and people lose their pre-order money.
Robogeek28:
That trailer looks better and better in every new picture I see of it.

Actually if the Hasbro designer panel is to be believed they like a lot of the stuff that garage companies are doing because it get a lot of cool things to the fans that hasbro can't do simply because there isn't enough of a demand for them or they would have a much harder time justifying it considering hasbro's target audience (children). They only decided to think about taking action once some of the companies started to infringe on their property like creating and selling a fan version of Springer a registered Transformer and to be honest that is in their right.
shibamura_prime:
Pretty snazzy. Though, I still prefer the Best Toys trailer. That and Venksta did the packaging art for it.

The man speaks the truth.
Smasher:
I'm glad I have mine on preorder.
This looks great.
And, yeah -FansProject please cancel Springer and stay "under the radar".
If it needs a Hasbro toy, Hasbro seems fine with your work.

This is practically sigworthy.
Trailers are a worthless horrible money-pit for hasbro. Kids don't pay 50$ for a 20$ prime because it comes with a trailer which they have no attachment to.
Now making the equivalent of 'classics Springer' that directly competes with Hasbro on possible product,s Character design, and intellectual property... Now Hasbro has to act unilaterally against all kits to prevent the 'slippery slope'. Which is when the hammer comes crashing down.
And maybe my eyes are damaged, but that looks pretty close to 100% exactly like the TF con colors of the plastic and paint apps except for chrome, which tends to lend itself back to FP lied about thier timeline of event and Spun the 'it will be different'. I will wait for the comparison shots and TFCON's approval fo such release as FP said they were seeking.
Computron34:
Very nice on both.

i see this tossed about a little too much.
When i was a kid i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Prime and Magnus' Trailers. They had SO MUCH play value. loading cars in Magnus trailer, the way it combined, using Primes Trailer as a base for minibots, as a repair bay for fallen soldiers...
...and don't even get started on the G2 Laser Prime Trailer.
The problem is, the last 2 trailers that Hasbro did (armada and energon) pretty much sucked eggs. One was hampered by a corny gimmick (autotransforming) and a base mode that wasn't (and only worked with minicons) and the other was a completely lame box that didn't have any use except holding the lame vehicle drones.
Hasbro just hasn't put all there full creative ju-ju into one since they got it back somewhere around the middle of Energon... I want to see 'em do a trailer with it's own bot mode that can combine with Prime.
primal-convoy:
I hope Powered Convoy comes with an additional "prime" faceplate, like the shadow commander set (although MY shadow commander set, which arrived today, did NOT have it....sniff).
Im not sure now about the trailer. I already have Battle Rollar and the Gear of War set (lovely, except for the "stealth" field/plastic box for Mirage, which is rubbish).

50$ is hard to swallow
Which had more play value when armada was released?
1. Bendy Prime with his trailer for 40$
2. Bendy Prime Deluxe, 2 Deluxes and 2 scouts for 40$
It is the pricepoint more than the trailer that doesn't sell... and the trailer sells worse than the big giant robot counter-points like Omega supreme and Unicron. No amount of 'creativity' is going to overcome the price issue.
LightningZERO:
Looks cool, but I can't afford to buy it
The_Black_Sheep:
Suprisingly, I don't want this at all. Wow, There's a first!
To me, It just looks like a Classics version of the MP Trailer. & about Powered Commander, Well I have an original Powered Convoy & a City Commander Trailer/Armour so there's no desire to own either of these.
n_tel_ekt:
Hmmm, anyone think maybe Hasbro is watching FP closely is due to Hasbro possibly planning to include a proper Springer triple changer??? I'll be kinda pissed if they halt the FP Springer, and dont make an official one... I wanted that Junkion set too! Oh well, Protector seems safe!

I think thats the point... The stealth mode, deluxe weapons, and the flip out attachment for the other FP trailer are just the cherry, imo.
NormanB:
Absolutely beautiful, but not worth the money to me.
tony77tony77:
where is the preorder for Powered Commander ? I haven't seen any.
videriant:
Doesn't seem much difference in robot mode but the BFG is blue on the inside in the Henkei Commander so that makes the trailer mode mostly blue which I like better. AAAArrgghhhhh!!!! toy-wave closed their preorder on May 25th so these must be pretty close to production.
