More Design Images of TFClub's Transforming Roller transfor1
TFClub has updated their website with new design images of their latest project: a transforming Roller! Built as another companion piece for Masterpiece Optimus Prime and designed to fit in his trailer, the images show the basic schematic of the front and back of "Battle Rollar" and his all-new robot mode!

SPLIT LIP:
Looking good so far. Roller, FTW. TFing Roller, FTMFW!!
Melkava:
It will be interesting to see what kind of headsculpt will roller get.
Soundwave84:
i really hope he gets a good one!
Locustreign:
Is this being done by TFClub themselves or Fansproject? Having dealt with TFClub once before, I have no desire to do so again
Ops_was_a_truck:
That's really cool. If he ends up with a Shockwave-esque monocle, I think that'd be even neater, since he only had that little light that he used for communication in the G1 series.

Would be sweet if the alt mode has the same light gimmick ala THS02 roller that can also hold Prime's blaster.
General Tekno:
So, I'm unclear... is this for MP Prime or Classics Prime?

TFClub is doing this themselves as far as I know.
G1Wheeljack:
Definitley picking this guy up if the price is reasonable, hell maybe even if it's not reasonable & I don't even have the MP trailer!
Vladakris:
Wow for any one who read spot light wheelie *SPOILER* this is what they ment. Roller looks kick ass
SMOG:
Do these Roller pics look really different from the earlier ones they released? I can't find the originals, so I can't tell... but this one seems much more "traditional", compared to the sleeker, more spidery look of the first pics.

In any case, I like this look better. A scope head would be cool, though I also like the idea of one that's reminiscent of a simplified Optimus. After all, Roller isn't actually a distinct TF character in his own right. He's just an extension of of Prime's own personality... or something.

It looks like a 3d model done to work out the functional joints. I expect the detailing would come next to match the first image they released.
Weirdwolf:
So is this for Masterpiece Prime, or is it for THS 02 Convoy, or what?
shibamura_prime:
Between this and the Magnus armor upgrade, it's a great time to be a fan. Regardless that HasTak had nothing to do with these two pieces. XD
Takara_destron:
Nice!
dark69:
looks good!
Johnator:
Have to wait and see it but it is a cool sounding idea.
Runamuck:
Clothing department manequin head and hands? Or were those left off because they haven't decided yet.
brr-icy:
i need an mp-04 now lol
ninety:
Am I the only one that doesn't like this?

I'm not sure why, but I don't like the idea of a TFing Roller. I am primarily a G1 fan, but it's not because it differs from the original, and I quite like the aesthetic. I'm a bit puzzled really!
Bumblethumper:
... I think I know what you mean.

It's Roller - who gives a shit.

Nice job just the same.

MP Prime. Should be a nice size, maybe deluxe
jorod74:
i don't know about this one. it is geeky-kewl, but pushes the edge of my fandom. i wonder what is next? redesigning the Prime Trailer so that there is a new use for that robot repair unit? instead of it extending and using its arms/sensor panel, but what can you do with that?
it just appears that someone is taking an icon and trying to add more to his abilities.
i will wait for a final product image, then cast a vote.
Death333:
I'm underwhelmed at this point and not because of the pics provided it's because of the previous pics. Those have Roller looking very movie designed..... That doesn't fit MP Prime at all....

Same for me, so far it doesn't really appeal me. I still hold my judgement for when I'll see pics of the real toy, but so far I'm not digging it.
Railguard:
I'm not sure if I like it or not now that there is more images of it but I'm more annoyed at the fact that they still haven't made Prime's trailer yet.
