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.

The Powered Convoy repaint looks awesome.

i think it is the angle as well ~ as far as i can see , all the detail is the same as the proto aside from the 'holes" in his antenna horns…

ok, i'm loving there new stuff (i am POSITIVE back when classics came out that i wished Megatron came with a small gun mode version of himself that could be held by other bots ), and i'm starting to get a wishlist for Fans Project umm, projects: G1 Prime rifle for Classics Prime and accurate Null-Rays/cluster bombs for the seekers (i really don't like how oversized the missiles are on the F-15 mold, it works on Ramjet, but 'd love to see something a bit smaller for the rest of the seeker crew.)

I'm hoping that is due to a very thick layer of paint due to these being proto types and all.

I'm worry about the lack of details as well..
REDLINE
nah, they'll be painted already man, nothing to worry about far as I know
thygriever
ohh i like those designs especially the matrix. I wish the city commander's paint was more shiny or metallic lookin =\
Metal Chaos
I know that, I just want to make sure he doesn't come in like 150 pieces that require glue before they can be used to make anything.
REDLINE
its a parts-former.

Does anyone know if the magnus armor is gonna require assembly or is it gonna be assembled and ready to use as a trailer or his armor right out of the box?

I've been looking forward to the ultra magnus upgrade kit. I saw a close up of the head at Tformers. Anyone else see it? The face and head look very different first prototype fans project showed us. I hope its not final. Looks very plain. What does everyone else think?

Actually, they'll consider the repaint if there is enough demand. In the end, if they do go through with it, it would be very limited. Its best to go to the FansProject website and send them an email asking about the repaint.

It can go the other way around, you might tick them off enough that they'll destroy the mold so they won't be pestered by requests anymore.

Maximo Prime

Yeah they're (Fans Project) really doing a good job. in fact i was just wondering what's up with jusititoys nowadays since they've completed their wst dinorobots line.
I hope they have something interesting up their sleeve if not they'll be left far behind by Fans Project.

I don't realy care about the Matrix but I must have 1ea of the Megs guns. These guys are doing a good job of comming up with ideas for thier accessory packs.
Dark_Rage
There was, pictures weren't allowed though. I missed it.
Once the other attendees get up from recovering the con, they'll have the info.
