The Fansproject community site FansProjectCore has posted the first prototype photos of Warbot Assaulter. Linework was only recently revealed, and a rendering on the Core shows that this is indeed an homage to the triple-changer G1 Broadside. The photos reveal robot mode, one of presumably two vehicle modes, and size comparisons with the Assaulter’s Warbot comrades, Defender and Steel Core.
All the photos have been mirrored after the jump for those who are not members of the FansProjectCore website.
Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

The one at TFCone wasn't a production sample. Probably hand-painted. His cockpit and axe blades were painted over blue, instead of translucent, for example.

I wonder if they have worked out the distribution with the retailers or are they going the FansProjectCore direct route again this time or a combination of both?

Ditto. These seemed to be all but ready to go at TFCon…seems like we should have preorders any day now

Boxy/Chunky is kinda Fansproject's style. Plus, Broadside was originally way flatter and way boxier. Just sayin'…

the toy looks too flat & boxy for my taste.

As per FP at TFCon. All the clear parts are on Assaulter prototype will remain clear on the final.

Do we know when this goes up for preorder? Must be soon.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the guns become part of the wings in jet mode.

Seconded. I've learned to reserve judgement on FP stuff until they flat out say "this is what your getting"

I bet it is going to be clear on the final version, but they just painted it over for this prototype to get an idea of the colors. Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered making it translucent on the grey prototype.

Not liking the painted canopy too, I was hoping for clear plastic

Looks awesome, except for the head imo. The plain white just looks unfinished.
