Thanks to 2005 Board members Jarodimus and Peaugh who have tweeted and shared several new images of upcoming Fansproject releases from TFcon. First up we have two prototypes of bots that resemble Stunticons and, according to Peaugh, are from a combiner. This plays heavily into the rumor that Fansproject has a Menasor unofficial product in the works. As of yet, these not Stunticons do not have names. Also from Peaugh, we see repaints of Fansproject’s Causality Insecticon figures in Generation 1 Deluxe Insecticon colors. Homages to Barrage, Chop Shop and Venom are shown. Next up, are pics of Assaulter, who is FansProject’s next Warbot figure and a homage to Broadside. The figure has four modes and two faces.
Additionally, Fansproject’s recently released original character, Steelcore, is shown with two repaints of his “powermaster” partner in orange and red.
Check out the pics by clicking the title bar!
UPDATE: More images of not-Stunticons added. From Jarodimus: These 2 are not-Breakdown and not-Wildrider. Release date target is November for these two, $50-ish each. They’re hoping to have everyone out by May 2013.I saw pics of Motormaster on an FP member’s phone. Looked to-scale with the cars. Vehicle mode faithful to G1. Was told transformation is along the lines of G1. Combiner parts store in trailer (I think). Not-Menasor combined mode should be a bit taller than Crossfire Bruticus
Assaulter: More images added. Planned release date is October. Price will hopefully be around $90

No that money is going to my next car im saving up so I can get a 2015 Subaru Impreza Limted. 2015 is when I will be paying off my current car currently drive and 09 Mitsubishi Lancer. Its gonna take me till 2015 to save up enough to get the Subaru I want.
daimchoc
But what you sold on Ebay would pay for them, right?
Duomaxwell1017
that would be pretty awesome, but I have MP-13 and MP-14 coming out then. DX 40 Revoltech Optimus Prime coming out in the 4th quarter of 2012 and Iron Man Mark VII coming out 1st quarter of 2013. And G2 Briticus is coming out in Mid November. Man my credit cards are gonna be pushed to the limits!!

Impactor1106
It will happen when it happens.
daimchoc
Didn't you get the answer to that same question before already?
Duomaxwell1017
Does anyone know when the Assulter will be released or when the pre orders will start?

Duomaxwell1017

Assaulter next and deluxe insecticons and warbugs are different.
ruinnatn
By all accounts what's the next FP release? Also are the "deluxe" insecticons the vehicle ones or are they two different things?

My ex couldn't believe how much city commander was going for a while ago and said why don't you sell it. I reply "Well if I sell you I would almost break even…." I moved out shortly afterwards.
I gotta agree with Bill the classics change and flux so much. And it may depend on characters and rarity. I see Astrotrain go for $20-$40 while Ratchet goes for $100+. Some of the factors will become obsolete after a while and I think the price may go up. But nothing astronomical.

Totally agree on both points…
Some of the stuff I see posted (even a couple year old 3P stuff) already looks outta place with the new toys we're seeing these days…
This even applies to GIJOE, where the 25th line looks dated due to the new stuffs incredible sculpts…
10-20 years from now, the stuff we gush over now will be like the tin toys our fathers played with…if we even care by that time

I go back and forth on this, but I generally think in 10 years, there will be a "new classics" and people won't care about the current (?) line anymore. The earliest stuff (pretty much all the actual "classics" and most of Universe) is already looking quite dated to me. I think it's possible that secondary market prices have already peaked.
I'd like nothing more than to be wrong here, mind you.
MPs are perhaps a different story, although I don't expect much if any price gains on MP 1-7.
