Hey all. hopope you had a great, safe and fun new years. We're only 5 days into 2011 and already Fansproject is teasing us with their stuff form 2011.
Link: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/fansproject-website-update-2011-causality--insecticons-171220/
So looks like they'll being continuing the Warbot (their version of a classics triple changer springer) ficiton with Warbot002 at some point this year. As soon as Warbot 002 is confirmed wiht product shots, i will be all over that, finances allowing.
Also looks like theyre continuing the crossfire series with set #03. with Crossfire 03, i would not be surprised if Fansproject did something with Energon Constructicon maximus. that would give us all a proper classics devastator instead of the crap one we got (crap from what i've seen). Sure TFClub is doing their own constructicon set, but given that we dont know how the individual figures will be mareketed (we know theyre in between deluxe and voyager, but we dont know pricing or release dates) i could see fansproject doing a constructicon maximus set as a slightly cheaper alternative. I would look into getting a construcion maximus,but there are no confirmed reports of what Crossfire 03 is so i will wait.
With regard to Causality, which seems to be extended fiction for Crossfire 02, we get two new repaints/ slight remolds of Munitioner and Explorer. Now, The Jury is out for me on these new ones, WArcry and Flameblast respectively. Warcry looks good enough in bot modes and the new head is awesome, but something about the burnt-sienna orange and the white mini-shield and re-done gun rubs me the wrong way. The white seems too vibrant to work well with the burnt-Sienna. I really like Flameblast though, if he's around $40 or so, i may have to get him. Explore did "retail" for around $50- $60, as did munitioner, but that was largely due to the crossfire 02 bruticus accessories they came with.
LAstly, Causality appear to also be including three new insecticon scout class figures named Stormshred, Thunderbomb and Backfire. I'm really digging the names. looks like theyre coming out one a month from may-july. Maybe this means the first two will be available at botcon, or at least Stormshread should be. I'm all over these insecticons. They are not the rumored Insecticon Insectrain combiner we've been seeing because thats being done by mastermind crreations (of Knight morpher fame. I have made notes on my calendar to look into them each month.
Lastly, Fansproject rumors at something Called "HEartMaster", or as listed at the above link, "(Audacity) Amelioration of Novel form, HeartMaster — HM-001" I have no clue what this could be.
So, thoughts? Comment below or respond on twitter.
