i wish i had some third party products… especially fansprojects!
Jehsee
Damn it… had my hopes up that this was some real info. Bizarre post.

Yeah for the uninitiated, FPC = branch of A3U that sells products and publishes some fiction for FP toy company, separate entities that do business together
FPC is slightly above just another retailer, FP designs toys
Downshift, I wouldn't be shocked if you were dead on. Believe at the Botcon where I worked at TFS, the owner who was selling an FP Exclusive (clear red protector) and Displaying MTs first offerings didn't even know what FP was bringing despite it being his booth that FP guy was using
FP – Not big on sharing info

FPC and FansProject are two very different entities. FPC might not know anything until the Saturday of the 3PP.
They do work together, but there is still a lot of radio silence between them for the most part.
OptionZero
None announced, shown, or rumored
This guys is probably confusing FP for MMC, which has the Arcee mold coming
Can't even keep the 3p straight
AutobotSoldier
What fembots is FP working on?
Darbus Prime
virus revolver would seem fitting as well based on the recoiler and riftshot being used for the same mold in limited quantities. i can see an even more limited run of an evil version. aside from paint it would make sense for him to come with dark add-on parts and an evil core.
Darbus Prime
I would have cited sources for info. But a lot of this makes sense. As for the steel core trailer adding more blue to the blue guy wouldn't really look as neat. When looking at wreckers or at least fans project core's wreckers one color is notably absent. Red. Fembots have been finalized for a while and i'm actually surprised peaugh didn't get a test shot to review yet. Mindwipe has seen a lot of prototype pics but no color yet. I'd say it's a given we see him in color release in about 2 months after that. Skullcrucher is gonna be tricky seeing as swamper was revealed in color and is up for preorder. If skullcruncher isn't the next reveal it'll be hardhead. As for three kings, seeing a physical prototype isn't far from a stretch seeing as we got a picture in recoiler booklet. I'm guessing that three kings will probably be a deception triple changer based on the wings, the number three in his name, and my want for a voyager octane or astrotrain that is good.

To anyone/everyone that attends this 'Con. Please beat FPC upside the head with the message: LEARN TO FRIGGIN COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY attached to the whoopin.
Thanks

Hopes
If he had info I'm sure he would have carefully explained how he got what was inside info
He appears to be just another guy stating dreams as face

Is this just I s hopes or facts?
archieboy
Very cool!!!
Darbus Prime
Mindwipe color prototype reveal. Preorders after con. Virus revolver core available at convention. Three kings white prototype. Skullcruncher tease. Fembots available to purchase. Preorders after convention. Steel core trailer reveal. Combines with steelcore to form a weapon pack and armor upgrade. Also comes with an additional core. Trailer uses original steelcore chest socket for connection of armor. Trailer has slots for two cores behind the figure. Additional core will most likely be red. Comes packaged with steel core reissue for around 179.99 or so. Seperately probably 69.99. Will not just be called steel core trailer. Probably something like buster core trailer. Combined name will probably be steel buster core.

Agreed about the armor. No armor, no deal. Id prefer there be no left over parts at all, but considering what we've seen so far and how the past fp trailers have been thats probably too much to wish for.

I'm hoping, as I do on a daily basis, that they'll be showing off their Deluxe Insecticons in the black, purple and yellow colors so we can finally have a proper set of G1 style, Classics Insecticons. Also, weren't we all kind of speculating, back when Steelcore was still in prototypes, that he would be colored like Ultra Magnus? That would be a must buy for me, as I have no M in my display, and Steelcore is pretty dope.
Deceptimatrix
I could care less about the trailer for Steelcore unless it becomes armor for him. What I'm really hoping for is a couple of exclusives in the form of black repaints of Smartrobin and UUUU
theestampede
steelcore trailer and more retro future stuff is at the top of the things I want to see.
