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.

Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

Really enjoy Assaulter's size and bulk, he's going to look magnificent in colour!

Steel Core came out different to what I expected, but he'll be bought anyways.

You can see how the 3rd mode will go, I think the legs will fold back up the other way.

A little off topic, sorry, but as good as Assaulter looks, I'm still don't think I'm willing to bite.

On the other hand...if they were to do a Decepticon Triple Changer -- Astrotrain and/or Blitzwing? I'd be all over that!

Steel Core is supposed to be a completely original creation by FP.

His alt mode looked closest to War Within Grimlock before coloured photos were released.

Yes he is a new character that happens to use the heartmaster gimmick, I'm glad to see fp going down this route :) I love their product and aesthetic, I hpe they do some literature for him and future releases.

Looking nice, I really dig the aesthetics of FP's toys and this is no exception, This is looking to be a stupidly expensive year considering I have only bought two or three real Transformers.

Agreed, my spend for this year quickly is catching up to last year already. I hope FP Assaulter is going to be reasonably priced, seeing how FP Steel Core has been reasonable.

Great looking bot. Nice, chunky Wreckers styling. I think they look great as a crew. Can't wait for colour pics.

I agree, hopefully they give the bad guys another go after Assaulter. I would be all over a FP Astrotrain. :cool:

I like that FP are branching out and making their own characters. As much as I love TF, I think a 3rd party group not bound by character identity and limitations imposed by marketing departments could go in some great directions we wouldn't see from the Transformers brand.

Agree muchly :) FP is turning out to be the Apple of the TF world.

A minority competitor would certainly give HasTak a run for their money and maybe up their quality.

Steel Core is what? Around $70.00 Australian which is about what the new MP's are going to be (The smaller ones). I know what my limited budget will be going on first and despite actually liking these Figures it won't be them. I can only guess Warbot Assaulter will hit around the $100.00 price tag looking at the size difference.
