    Chinese TFClub are a different group.

    Fans Project are the ones doing the Ultra Magnus and Classics Prime trailers.

    This is not by Fans Project. Fans Project are doing the Magnus and Prime trailers. This "Rollar" is by TF Club.

    As for them pushing it, not really. At best, you can call it a 'derivative design'. But TF Club designers pretty much got around that by making him look very little like the original Roller (who didn't have a robot mode, anyway). You could argue that its some sort of scfi buggy that turns into a robot. Transformers doesn't have a monopoly on transforming robots.

    As long as they don't call him Roller (I'm not even sure if Hasbro has that trademarked) and don't use any trademarked logos or symbols, what they're doing is more or less legal, from what I understand.

    I still think he looks a little bit too movie-ish to me, but he does look nice. It just seems too non-blocky to quite fit in with MP prime.

    Wow, he goes with so many primes... not Animated Prime though (but we all know how badly that would clash :p ).

    Too bad they didn't rig him up so Prime(s) can tow him... for those of us w/o trailers...

    I was thinking I would consider him more of a drone than an actual character... but he's so cool looking, that seems like a waste.

    Just got my MP4 today (TF Source Summer Sale) just for this Rollar! :D 

    I agree but Rollar looks like Roller in Alt Mode. Works for me!

    That's what sold me! Now a complete MP Optimus Prime! :D

    Hope it shows up on BBTS. I'm not dealing with eBay for this, same as the CJ upgrade kit. Too much hassle.

    Is there some reason why nobody has made a resin cast of that cliffjumper kit? I mean if the company isn't going to make them anymore and they are sold out, then what are they really losing if someone starts casting and selling them?

    wow. sooo nice! i do want one. Although i think his head looks a bit weird on those pics. I wanna see a close up of it. It doesn't seem to resemble the concept art?
