It surfaced today on Fansproject FB page : This time no teasing, no proto... just a 6 pack case for dealers and a packaging corner. Rumor is a new Broadside is now completed like the one we saw on FP panels (2009 TFCON) : Can't wait.

from what I've read it's not Broadside but rather the previously shown Heart Master called Steelcore. It has not been confirmed yet though.

Shoot. I thought it would be another triple changer like the first one.

BTW, will the metal content be retained?

Not sure, but there is a lot of talk about this figure. Apparently there are add on kits in plans for this character. Some claim it will have a trailer later and some claim its the core of a gestalt. Only time will tell, but I am interested in it either way.

Interesting. If it's a main body for a gestalt, we gonna have an expensive and huge combiner. Hope Fansproject will have good communication to tease everything. -> mirrored the pictures

I heard that this is a completely new design, as of not related to any previous transformers character. If successful, we might have a new toy-line in the making.

Here it comes... New pictures surfaced today. Those clear parts for energy knife/ice pick looks good and very transluscent. Pre-orders are coming soon! Until then, here a couple more teaser pics until we do the full reveal and pre-orders. FPC is still discussing with FansProject to try to get an exclusive first wave pre-order for the members of this site, so please stay tuned!
-> It will be a full rush on FPCore to get the figure, but "exclusive pre-order" doesn't mean cheaper price... Warbot Defender was around the $75... Hope they won't go up this price

That first pic, the waist look stupid. I hope that is mistransformed cause it seems better in the other pics, though its not clear shots. The rest looks good. It would be great if they stuck with the energon connectors so you could use crossfire limbs as well.

I pre-ordered 2 ex from Fansprojectcore shop (account needed)... -> USD 10 discount on price = USD 69 Hope they will accept my request to declare low value shipping... Edit : Received a notification e-mail about order. So their shop beta system is quite complete and ok. Also received an e-mail in response for a low value declaration qustion I sent (to avoid custom fee) : they will declare real item price... (hello taxes !)

I'll say this: he does look cool despite my personal dislike for the "later G1" designs. As an older fan, I always preferred the Diaclone-derived Transformers - when the later years rolled around, I was growing out of Transformers and they seemed to cut back on die-cast metal and rubber wheels, etc... But this guy looks like he'll have lots of play-value.
I don't recognize the homage tho (if they are paying homage to anybody, like they did for Springer). I might get this...

] I did not notice that it has a hitch. I wonder what kind of accessory will come up for it.

I have been going back and forth over it. I think its cool, and I want it. I just don't know if I am in a hurry for it. My curiosity is the potential this figure might have.
