Thanks to the the crew at TFCON

We know we know... it is not as much as we would liked to have given. Trust us, if we could we would have it for sell right now. This project is a huge undertaking, especially for designers that can only work on this part time.

 So far here is some info:
The set will be limited to at max 1,500 sets.
BBTS and Toyarena.com will be our US distributers.
We are looking to have a full prototype complete by October.

This is an EXTREMELY early W.I.P. for the head of "MENACE".  It is a quick digital mock-up as we are sculpting and building before we fine tune him in cad..There will be changes.

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS WITH YOUR THOUGHTS!

TFCON

Wow....Let's hope our W.I.P. preview of the MENACE will be able to be shown at TFCON.. check back tonight for an early sketch!

We see we have had A LOT of traffic the past few days. Thanks to TFW2005.COM and SEIBERTRON.COM for the front page spot.

So to answer a few questions.

G1UPPERS?

 We felt the name could be taken many ways. So if confuses you more than it should, don't think to hard.  G1=transformers related
UPPERS=upgrades

It's just a fun name.

Why have G1 in the name and then start out with "Animated" kits?

Simple, because we want to. We have many upgrades planned. All for characters that started in G1, but have lived LONG passed the time of our youth.

"When will we see pics"

 We are holding out any pics and updates for the guys at TFCON. This is the first year that anyone has decided to give 3rd party groups a panel and we would like to do or part to support that. Sorry folks.

 We want to thank everyone who has been supportive of our ideas. We do read your thoughts on the forums. It really helps encourage us to keep moving forward. We are rather stubborn and want to run  before we crawl. So a lot of time, money, and energy is being spent on creating "FIREMASTER" and we have a lot to loose or gain if we can knock this out of the park. But it will take time as we are a small group, and can not devote 30 hours a day to these.

 Thanks for checking us out. Keep a watch for the TFCON news.

Feel like asking any questions? g1uppers@gmail.com

What's up with the name?

Haha.. so curious about the name? Well, think about about.... take it as you will... and yes, we have many ideas, and plans, that will work with almost every line...  but mainly G1 and things that are reminiscent of what started it all!!

We are planning on having some pics for the guys over at TFCON.
