Why not pre-order one then? At BBTS you don't have to pay until it's in stock.

I think that giant gun is part of his trailer. if you look at the trailer, you can see a part of the gun. Also, UM's armor in robot mode is too few to form that really big trailer.
Cool Toy!

That was kind of obvious... however I'm not going to need the gun when he's posed in robot mode. So I can just store it away.astig wrote:Tekka wrote:Oh, SWEETNESS!

I'm so glad I've got one pre-ordered with BBTS as the armor/trailer looks awesome.
I don't think I'll use the monster gun when I display UM but it looks pretty good all the same.
I noticed that the Fansproject site has an ideas section so I sent them the following which I think would make intresting future projects,
1.Rodimus Prime headsculpt and camper trailer for Classics/Henkei Hot Rod
2.Roller for Masterpiece Optimus Prime
3.G1 accurate Dirge wings for Classics/Henkei Conehead Seeker mold
4.Blaster/Broadcast conversion kit for Music Label Soundwave (head,gun & chest panel)

YES. SIR.
Sweetest upgrade set I've ever seen.
Makes the Cliffjumper set look like amateur night, honestly.

Yeah, I sent them a message as well.
1) Nemesis Armor for Shtrd Gls Prime and/or Nemesis Prime: I suggested a large cannon like RiD Nemesis Prime had that can add on as armor and additional firepower
2)Targetmaster for Rodimus
3)Weapons upgrade for Bumblebee, Shoulder launchers for Mirage and upcoming Sideswipe

It is the ONLY reason why I bought Classics Ultra Magnus! The most awesome and bad-ass TF upgrade set ever!
Time for Magnus to discard funny yet insulting nicknames like Little Prime, Albino Prime and Prime's bitch! LOL

Good ideas! I could definitely use some sort of weapons for Bumblebee and a missile launcher for Sideswipe.

Why don't you order one from BBTS or TFSource? Both ship to Europe.

Highly recommended. They're good guys at TFsource.

I preordered this, and then had to see where I could get a Classics Magnus from to put it on.
I ended up having to buy the Prime & Magnus 2-pack from BBTS because the Skywarp one was long gone.

I bought the pack for Skywarp and resold Ultra Magnus as I wasn't bothered about the character without the armor. About 2 weeks later the armor/trailer set got shown for the first time and I've now got to get another Ultra Magnus
