The product will be.....
wait for it....

Autobot City! Yes life size autobot city.

The idea is when you purchase each Classics/Packaging you will get a section of the autobot city. The city is based on the TF movie (1986).

It should house up to 20 toys.

Some of the features.
- Autobot sick bay (where Optimus dies),
- Canon launcher (autobots vs devastator)
- Communications tower (blaster vs cassettes)
- Autobot Shuttle Landing bay

Size - as tall as fortress maximus, about 1.5mtre long as base, up to 2 mtre with additional items . Its huge. We will be breaking it up into 100 different parts. Cost of production is undetermined but it will be the ultimate playset for collectors.

The playset will also connect with Metroplex at one part (still working out the details with that.
We are looking at another concept that Autobots make Autobot City and Decepticons make a city connecting with Trypticon.

More concept details to come, with prototype expected around May.

Will go on retail expected around August/Sept this year with 2 Classics toys released each month (for 2 years).

Some additions based on feedback:

1. Core Characters released in United/Henkei/Generations/Classics to be released in first wave.
2. Comic should be a continuous series of 50 issues (each box comes with a 24 page comic)
3. Include Fansproject items (including Ultra Magnus, Insecticons, Warbot) as well as Arcee (Valkyrie version).
4. Comic should be written by fans and drawn by fans.
5. 10% of profit to be donated back to TF community
6. 10% of profit to be donated to charity


will send more details out shortly.
