One of the original innovators in the 3rd party Transformers space, FansProject helped pave the way for the modern collector market with its game-changing upgrade kits and original figures. Known for blending CHUG-scale compatibility with unique design twists, FansProject products still hold a special place in the hearts of longtime fans and Transformers purists.

Early on, FansProject made waves with their combiner upgrades and trailer kits that transformed existing Hasbro figures into show-accurate giants. They later expanded into fully original robots with series like Warbot, Function-X, and Lost Exo-Realm—bringing reimagined G1-style characters and even Dinobots to life with flair and functionality.

Why collectors still love FansProject:

• CHUG-Compatible Designs – Many releases scale perfectly with Classics/Universe/Generations collections, including combiners and standalones.

• G1-Inspired Characters with a Twist – Robots rooted in familiar archetypes, often with new alt modes or play features.

• Legacy Innovation – FansProject pioneered many of the transformation and articulation techniques now standard in 3rd party design.

• Collectible Series – Iconic sub-lines like Warbot, Function-X (Headmasters), and Lost Exo-Realm (Dinobots) still draw collector interest years later.

Although newer 3rd party players have taken the spotlight, FansProject remains a foundational name—especially for collectors who grew up during the golden age of CHUG. Their designs are often simpler than modern MP competitors, but charming, playable, and incredibly shelf-friendly.
