We have some more images and information for you from the Cybertron Con Fans Meeting Dinner, courtesy of S250. Several works in progress were shown off by TFClub for upcoming unofficial items which I think some of you might find rather cool. They were showing off:
Targetmaster Optimus Prime (only robot mode shown)
Headmasters Optimus Prime and Soundwave. Each one has a robot mode patterned after their classic style robot modes, plus their iconic vehicle modes, and Headmaster head modes which again bear the faces of their classic incarnations. Between this and the previously mentioned Targetmaster, you can tune up your Powermaster Optimus Prime to be a Head-Target-Powermaster if you were so inclined.
Last but not least, a picture was shown of what appears to be a fully 100% custom transforming Constructicon.
FansProject were also present and while they did not show anything off, they had this information to share with S250:
Remember the prototype storyboards shown off at TFCon last year? The Junkion “Collector”, the Glacialbots custom combiner group, and the Warbot based on Broadside? These are all confirmed to still be in the pipeline. The Junkion will come in three flavours, male, female and elder. Any one can ride on the back of any other in bike mode. The Glacialbots are still in very early stages but the intention is for them to have a very Generation 1 feel “but more fun”. Lastly, the Warbot Broadside is coming along well, and we might be able to look forward to some prototype images of this follow-on to the popular custom piece Warbot Defender soon.
Remember, none of these items are officially endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy. They are 100% unofficial and unlicensed, much like the “garage kits” produced in the anime community.

I doubt there would be so much griping about Headmaster Prime and Soundwave as "wastes of plastic" and "redundant" if they were some Radicon's pet project.
Bgrngod
That.. is some awesome stuff. Soundwave is a must have.
DrillBIT
Yeah. Their work is nice but I have the feeling that their products are more on the edge of the Braves then the Transformers.
And I wish they could work on their own cab(s) for their trailers.
(A big excuse for them to re-release the trailers for people who needs them.)

The Glacialbot combiner is aimed at those that love the G1 style combiners. Maybe FansProject will work in some cool articulation into it, so it looks like a brick, but can move like a modern figure. They probably knew from the start not every TF fan would like it. Same with their other products. There are TF fans that hate City Commander.

collector & broadside seem like decent 3rd party toys.
I can't imagine why anyone would want the combiner. because it doesn't resemble any older TF toys/characters. I would think if your going to do something that big,why not try a older G-1 combiner & make a 3rd party toy out of it.

If those Constructicons are deluxe sized and can combine into Devastator, they will be a must have.
DrillBIT
Many Takara Microman (Microchange series) and Diaclone toys in boxes!

I can see what you're sayin, so my apologies for what I said to ya, but I think it's got a lot to do with the idea of Devastator standing at an angle in the silhouette. I can see easily the right arm being Scavenger with the should arm sticking out.
Also at drill bits last post to the ACtoys forum, HOLLY CRAP STICKS THAT SCRATCH BUILT SCARTTORSHOT IS TEH TITS AND BALLS!!!!!

I wish they would do stuff like the Glacialbots!,something original
I wish more people would support the small amount original ideas out these companys like headrobots, Glacialbots and etc. Instead of blatant rip offs.
DJW107PRIME
I'd like to know more about the Arcee and all FP stuff.
DrillBIT
They probably hijack other bodies.
Viper_486
HOLY CRAP!
Those are made of 100% pure win.
What are the chances of these being made available for sale???
I want 2 sets!

*Shrug*
I guess I can see it. It just looks… Off, somehow. I dunno. It's probably just the silhouette, but the head looks more boxy, and the torso too narrow for two robots. Of course, we have no idea if it's 5, 6, or even 4 robots, so…
That being said (and just to play devil's advocate) – has anyone from TFC confirmed that it IS Devastator?
Tirade
No, I wouldn't say I have a lot of hate for the 2 HMs. I can see the effort that was put into them. I just don't like that we get yet another Optimus Prime and Soundwave. I don't mind the head modes. I find the robot modes to be redundant though. They are nice for what they are.
saberconvoy
dang they look cool
OMEGAPRIME1983
Really… You don't think that silhouette looks like a G1 styled Devestator?? Not even close.. No offense, but lose..
BraveMax
Do we even know if this is Transformers? TFC has done non-TF before (See TFC-003)… It doesn't look all that Devastator-y…
Thundershot
I'd get them if they made new bodies for them to attach to…
jestermon
Very neat stuff, I would definately buy these if they were a 2 pack and had a decent price tag, I don't even have a Headmaster robot, but I know they are nothing but customs.
Wow, everyone has alot of hate for these guys, they are super neat and well planned.
