Thanks ReillyD. What HD and I have achieved in a short time is just the tip of the iceburg. I have never worked on a project with so many people rushing to assist.Quote:

We have a good feeling that this HK exclusive item will be allowed.
Hey Ultra Magnus can i ask if this project of yours is something you're doing as a personal goal/project or as a business?? reason i ask is I am VERY much liking what I see and my concern is what price range will you be putting these in?? Are you going to price them reasonably with a small profit for all involved or wanting a bigger profit margin.
With 1 being released per month my concern is I may not be able to buy them all. Obviously your project/business and what you do is your choice just wanted to ask. Man if this is an official product its gonna be so crazy of an already awesome project. !!!! Keep it up!!!
I'm ready to give you my money now! LOL. I really hope this gets "the nod" of approval by Hasbro. Monthly is a good idea too as it'll give my wallet time to recover. If there's anything we can do to help just ask as I'm sure between us all someone will have that skill set. I would love to help but I just don't know what I could do for this project (besides preorder) as plumbing/gasfitting doesn't usually go hand in hand with toy concept production. LOL
Great question. HD and I are the principals on this. I started this as a personal goal, but since meeting HD we are very much heading in the same direction. We both love Transformers and want to make these successful.Quote:

All I will say is we are about to turn this project into a reality plus x20 things more. :) So excited, cant say much, HD will kill me!
Thanks for the support.Quote:

Helping with saying you support us is great to begin with, support and promoting the project mid next month is #1.
If everyone gets on board then its gonna be easy with Hasbro HK
Just point me in the right direction.
Here, here! :cool:Quote:

You can all be very much part of this project, besides ambassadors, there will be an exclusive Ozformers items.
wow. I must have the brand of your wallet, mine recovers so much slower :pQuote:

Thanks for all the positive support guys!
We have been and are still working hard on it. There is a plan going forward and we are starting to talk to more and more potential collaborators.

If you guys are doing stories and proper bios, I would be happy to contribute. I would also be happy to help with design, concept and engineering.Quote:

I believe that is their intention dude but that they are asking us to help in getting the word out not only on this and other forums, but other relevant sites and parties of interest too. ;):)Quote:

Lets just say Ultra Magnus should be Ultra Magnus and not box magnus. I should know, I am Ultra Magnus :)Quote:

I would be very interested in an official magnus trailer, especially if if actually looked like a car carrier in vehicle mode.
I think this is an amazingly ambitious project, I would love to get involved in working on officially licensed product.
I have significant experience using CATIA and some experience using SolidWorks, while I don't have any licences at home at the moment, I am thinking about it. I would be interested in doing some CAD work on some aspect of this project. Obviously it would also have to be in spare time as I am holding down a full time job as well. :D
I have been modelling addon's for my own classics figures.
cheers
What a neat concept.
I fully support this so count me in as one of your future customers
I would definitely support an official Ultra Magnus toy since I didn't get the FP one (too blocky).
So is this going ahead?
There is a thread on tfw2005 about www.spacepet.com so it is now out there
Ughh... There's always someone who has to spoil things eh? :o:rolleyes:Quote:

Man, there are a lot of people in that thread casting all sorts of aspersions and showing stereotypical 'Gun-ho' attitudes without having read any information on the subject eh? :confused:
I see that as usual TFW2005 is taking this well.
LOL :p:DQuote:

I would suggest that an official person involved in this project to make a statement that this is intended as a proposal concept to take to Hasbro before things get more out of hand with mis-information.
This is why I don't post in those sites.
That was a fun read. Actually, I'm surprised they responded like that - normally those threads seem to worship the backsides that third-party-knockoffy-mass-custom people sit on.Quote:

They are erroneously assuming that the art has been stolen from official sources and having an angry mob reaction against it :rolleyes:Quote:

It's on the side of the moon we never see (except in slightly nonsensical action movies.) ;)Quote:

It would probably be better to post that on TFW more than here. We all seem to understand the nature of the project but over there people are more 'shoot first ask questions later'.Quote:

1. That has been my understanding all along. :cool:Quote:

(Hopefully the beginnings of a Hasbro equivalent of Matty-Collector, but you guys have intelligence :D)
I find it funny (the tfw comments) that people are appalled that a 3rd party could use official artwork, but are quite willing to support and buy Replicas and unlicensed figures based on characters currently in mass media (IDW comics and Gen1 cartoon are all currently on sale, so unlicensed toys based on characters currently in media release is like an unauthorised toy that looks like Superman with a different name, during the release of a Superman movie).
Uh, double standards much?
(topic kept where it started, for now)
Bit of a shame it go front-paged on TFW at this early stage, before things are finalised and all the info is available. Hopefully the other sites don't post it.
Oh let them rant and hate all they want. You just knowit's gonna blow in their faces anyways when this project gets official sanction. Then we'll see them clamoring to get one:p;):rolleyes::rolleyes:Once they see the autobot city bits it comes with Im so sure the jawdrop smilies will be flooding then all them haters are gonna get buried, terminated, shamed to the very soul, exposed as the turncoat, hogwash morons that they are:mad::mad: Ignore them, AustralAsia alone can get you set on business. You'll see they'd come begging
