3rd party group Fansproject has updated their Facebook page with a new reveal. Yesterday, the group teased a repaint of the mold for Steelcore, their original character, in construction orange colors. Tonight, the group announced WB009 Severo Core. Severo Core is a Grimlock inspired repaint of their Steelcore character. The figure appears to come with a new accessory for the mold in the form of a sword. Additionally the Construction colored figure is shown in full as well as WB011 Construction Core, but is still a work in progress. No other details are provided as far as availability, price, release or if either figure will come with the additional trailer component that was released sometime after Steelcore came out.
You can check out the collage of images and join in on the discussion in the 3rd Party forum.

My steel core's waist broke years ago so he'll forever be cannon fodder to me

I have the main guy, trailer, grimlock version, and like 6 or 7 cores that I'm thinking of selling. Couple small issues with mine though. The blue core that came with the first blue truck has a hip socket that split so he can't be a robot anymore. Grimlock fell from a shelf and one of his claws snapped off. Anyone have an interest? I can share pics.

Oh dang, I haven't handled my copy in a long time, maybe I should check that!

I know the waist is a common breaking point, and remember pictures of them broken back in the day, my personal copy lives in robot mode but I've just gained one for sales and its a bit seized in vehicle mode. I managed to just about force it, but it was horrible and I was sure it would break.
Hexatron
Is your figure broken? I haven't had any problems with the waist on my copy.
CZ Hazard
Is there any way of transforming this back to robot mode without breaking that waist?

Well I wish you luck in getting the colors you want from the blind bag!

You are right. The five pack was just one of each color. I asked BBTS way back when they had them but they were sold out before I could order them. Been hunting for them ever since.

Aren't the construction core set the same as the blind bag figures and what they wete asking about? And tfsource does have them in stock, seems like the only place you get them

Anybody with those corers and want to sell them, PM me.

Yeah, he rolled off a shelf about a year ago. I have it but haven't tried to reattach. Made me sad.

Are you missing a claw?
ICEPnguin
Seeing this made me dig them out. Love the swappable chest.

Family Photo! My only real gripe with Severo Core is the core, I wished it was thinner so he could transform without having to remove his chest. View attachment 29433651

This pic was taken on release which was well before Constructor Core came out.
That's a good idea though… maybe I'll do an article on the mold itself and showcase them together.
daimchoc
Need the Construction Cores there too.

This thread is getting kind of weird and needs more Severo Core:
