chuckcjc:
Wow. I just realized that classics inferno doesn't have a ladder...


Silent_Magnus:
Giant imaginary shoulder rockets!
Darkspeed:
Holy crap... Dreams do come true! ^^

I've been thinknig for a while now how the Classics figuress needed a weapons set made for them, and TFClub just went and read my mind! At least, that's what I'd like to think... ^^;

Loving the missile launchers for Mirage/Lambor twins, that would have been my first wish. The ladder/handcannon for Inferno is a nice little addition I wasn't expecting, but not really too fussed about that - He looks good as he is, IMHO. Still, if I get Inferno by the time this comes out I'll break for it!

The scout tape... Meh, is nice but I'd have liked something along the lines of another launcher, possibly a more G1ish weapon set for Grimlock (Adding that to the wishlist next...)

Thanks for sharing this buddy!
Switchblade:
Neat. I'll likely pass as the only thing that interests me is the shoulder launcher for Sideswipe, but it's still really cool that we're getting all of these custom add-ons. I'm really digging this new era of garage kit accessories.
Optimist_Prime:
Price Please!
Shin Densetsu:
Whoa.....awesome!
Melkava:
That scout tape is a must have!
Soundwave84:
Wow these are much needed i wonder how much it will cost
G1Wheeljack:
OK, the scout tape won me over, how much $$$ & when will these be out?
Tekkaman Blade:
Definately would be interested, but the launchers for streaker/swipe/mirage are too big, they'd need to scaled down a little.
Locustreign:
Don't care about the scout thing but I'm sold on the other three. Awesome.
xZAOx:
I don't like the rocket launchers, I couldn't care less about the scout tape, but that ladder is awesome. If we can get some head wings and I'll finally feel like it's really Inferno.
ki1983ng:
Could someone mirror the images please? Thank you
Slimaximus:
OMG Freakin EPIC TFC comes through again still need to order my roller LOL
Obvious Prime:
Awesome. I really like Autoscout.
Lucs:
Super sweet! I love add on accessories. Hope the price is right though. Don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for a rocket launcher

Oh and at first glance it looked like 2 different launchers but on second look it seems there are just different configurations of the one launcher. Pretty nice touch if you ask me
rattrap007:
Scout and ladder. and I'll need to see the real launcher for the twins before I buy. They are WAY to damn big..
SoundMaster:
I'll probably get the autoscout tape for my TRU Soundwave. Inferno's ladder looks pretty neat too.
Ravenxl7:
Inferno's ladder actually looks cool enough to consider getting. The other stuff isn't as interesting to me though.
ekocher:
wth is a scout tape?
process:
Those missiles launchers would interest me if they weren't so huge. Seriously, way too big.





That's what she said.
RodimusDawg:
Don't have a use for the scout tape. But wow the rest of them are going into my collection for sure.

But......where is the classics G1 accurate Optimus Prime Ion cannon? Hmmm? Come on it has to be done.
Takara_destron:
I want that just for the cassette
supervir2:
scale the cannons back a little and I'm sold at a relatively reasonable price.
tony77tony77:
anyone know when this set going to be out?
darksage78:
Awesome stuff, finally more weapons for Classics =D
blackout501st:
im buying the whole set 4 shure
Grimlocka go-go:
wow, that's awsome, love the whole set.

Do feel that the rockets are a bit to large, if they can still scale them back a little, would be just about perfect.

As long as the set doesn't cost to much, i'll definatly be getting.

And btw, any new cassette is a good thing lol
Aernaroth:
This is some pretty cool stuff. I've said for years that it would be awesome for someone to make additional weapon sets.
Skylock:
These are pretty good, not sure bout that tape thing. The rocket launchers are perfect and the ladder is too.
Stormcrow:
I'll definitely get the rocket launchers, but nothing else. Not too blown away by the scout thing, and I dont plan on buying inferno.

But those launchers rock. They're much needed accesories.

Bgrngod:
They look cool as renders/photoshops, but how good will they look as production pieces? Tough to say. I have no interest in the guns and ladder, but I like the Scout figure.
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
So early design phase then. Yikes to the size of those rocket launchers, hopefully in reality they'll be a smaller scale.
ShadowStitch:
Ugh.... I love the little cassette...thing.... and I could go either way on the extra classics guns, but Inferno does NOT need a ladder, or a gun-hand for that matter. I'm sure we'll see lots of people buying the set and splitting them up... I'm already talking to someone about splitting this kit, and selling him the Inferno garbage.

Of course, like I predicted, people are already trying desperately to shoehorn a ladder onto the figure when he really doesn't need it and doesn't look right with it in either mold. He's a tanker/pumper truck this time around, not a ladder truck. G1 homages have a limit. *sigh*

He's one of these:



Not one of these:

PrimulArchangel:
id pay no more then 30$ shipped for that .. But they will probably want 80$ or more lol
Cast:
I'm wondering if the rockets would fit on city commander, he need some that work on both modes.

Loving the lader and the scout tape, unless I re side ravage that might just go with my classic hound.

Exactly what I was thinking. I love customization sets, but sometimes the price is ridiculous. Of course, it is justified, they don't charge that price for no reason.
tony77tony77:
I love Inferno gun-hand looks more G1
protostar8:
I think it all looks tacky. The only thing that even slightly interests me is the little fist accessory for inferno. The ladder is okay, but doesn't really suit him IMO. As for the rocket launchers, they are hilariously enormous and don't fit the characters very well as far as size goes. The cassette is creative and kind of interesting, but it depends on how the real thing turns out.
Super_Megatron:
That autoscout is amazing, have always wanted one of those. SOLD.

Exactly! That's what sells it for me.
DELTAsnake:
Dont buy this! The TFC people have no concept of what quality control is. The very first time I went to transform my Battle Rollar he literaly fell apart. According to TFwire, BBTS has had lots of complaints about TFC's quality control.
VE Telus:
What I would like to see:

- sword for Classics Grimlock
- pointier, G1-like missiles for the Classics seekers
- chest plate for Classics Devastator
- gun for Classics Bumblebee
- new "Blockrock"-like character for fit inside Classics Blaster
- launchers and missiles for City Commander
- Matrix for Rodimus or Prime to hold (I think FansProject is working on this, yes?)

Not sold on the auto scout. Every other cassette looks better than this "open me up and extend a few things" approach. The ladder is a great idea, as are the launchers.

I am hoping the launchers are improperly photoshopped.

I can dig the scout, not so much the ladder, but I do like the hand, I'll have to see if the launchers end up smaller, just look too big like that.
BlueAngel_Bolt:
If the scout tape fits on hound, and the rocket launchers are scaled down a bit then it shall be mine
